I'm entirely confident about the Senate (53 seats) and less so (duh) for heavily Gerrymandered House races. But we still have two plus months of Republican cray-cray, lawlessness and possibly a grip of indicted Repugs* before the midterms. DoJ protocol regarding influencing upcoming election is ambiguous. And then there's the state prosecutors...

And more Trump. He'll surely announce before October, putting himself on the ballot. If only there were 81 million voters laying around just looking for a little small-d democracy action.

With Season 2 of the J6C all teed up. Must watch TV! :D

Don't you remember how the stench of Watergate hurt my Michigan Man Gerry Ford and the Repugs in '74 and '76? (Spoiler alert: 49 seats)

I don't think the majority of us are so jaded as to think Trumpism and current GQP conduct isn't worse.

Like, existentialy worse.

I ignored Manchinema for a year in hopes Joe would pull a rabbit out of his hat right about now, due to our collective nano-attention span. Turns out I was right and I saved a lot of teeth grinding.

Moving along, at this time I not quite ready to predict that we're in for a Blue Tsunami but I wouldn't be shocked in the least.

Old bleeping conventional wisdom is most certainly on time out...hopefully forever. Trump lies like hell in an honest sounding manner and Muricans now require truth in an honest sounding manner (paging Joe Biden) and...

Results! Good results, not half a million needlessly dead citizens nor half a million fat cats needlessly enriched. Repeal Trump's tax cuts!

*For starters, think Tour Guide Loudermilk and those who asked for a pardon. Throw in Lindsey Graham and don't forget to drive a carload of your peeps to the polls blah blah blah.

Easy peasy!

What about state prosecutors?

And more Trump madness. He'll surely announce before October and Season 2 of the J6C is all teed up.

My Dear Fellow Traveler,

All kinds of nope.

The First Amendment prohibits governments from prohibiting free speech and that would most certainly include forcing "news organizations" or "opinion programs" or what not to have to post warnings.

JUST WHO decides what's false and what's real? Not only totally unworkable but it's the complete opposite of what the Framers wanted.

I'd also love to see a Truth in Broadcasting law passed requiring any program that is going to intentionally publish stories presenting information known to be untrue as being true to have to place announcements at the beginning, at the end, and after any breaks the show takes for commercials stating that the show is presenting knowingly untrue information as "facts".

It should not be too big a deal, honestly. FoxNews told a judge that Tucker Carlson's viewers all knew that they were being lied to by Tucker, and the judge agreed with that claim and ruled in FoxNews' favor. If FoxNews' viewers supposedly already know that they are being lied to, making sure that all of their viewers are made aware of that fact should not be a problem for them. Here's the great thing... if you aren't going to knowingly present untrue information as being factual, there is no need to put the warning up for that episode.

I believe that journalism is the only non-government occupation that is mentioned in the Constitution. Journalists are granted special protections by our Constitution because their job at keeping the masses informed as to the actions of our government require it. They're jobs are too important for them to be allowed to lie to us and maintain those protections.

"What about their First Amendment right to Free Speech?"

They are free to say whatever they choose. If they choose to intentionally claim untrue information is true, then they must put that warning informing us of their intent to deceive at the beginning and end of their article. Deception was not what the First Amendment was written to protect.

Hey CW,

There is no such thing as "gay marriage" or "gay rights" or "interracial marriage". There is "marriage equality" and "equal rights", however. We aren't asking for something special or unique just for ourselves, we are simply asking for the same rights that others have enjoyed for so long: the right to love who we choose to love.

I know that you are aware of this, but like continuing to use "pro-lifers" instead of "forced birthers", the old terms do not tell the real story.
