No, they don't fit any of the defining properties of fascism. They have opposing political beliefs. That's why they aren't Democrats. What you equate to fascism is just partisan, political noise.

No, I base it on a track record of crimes and behaviors. The best predictor of future behavior is past performance. We are content to let the courts decide and let justice to take its eventual course in a liberal democracy. You will be surprised at what a liberal democracy will do to defend itself against such threats as fascism, read your history.

It's a tradition and can be changed by a simple majority, if the democrats win a couple of more senate seats, things will be decided by a simple majority, unless otherwise stipulated by the constitution. Usually, such rules are established at the beginning of a session. They need enough votes to overcome Manchin and Sinema who are bought and paid for and benefit by being a legislative choke point.

Filibuster.

You are either wrong or lying, the evidence is overwhelming, the republicans are moral failures, all 73 millions of them, were wrong about Trump, or so caught up in hate and fear that they didn't care or know any better. Some were innocent victims, most were not, they willingly allowed themselves to be brainwashed and enslaved to an idiot.

There was no excuse for supporting the republicans in 2020 and certainly none for supporting them after J6, only a fool would.

That's more of a speed bump and the rules can be changed around that too and make it operate the way it used to, or just get rid of it. The senate makes its own rules and only a few things require super majorities by the constitution, like impeachment. The senate represents geography, not people, so it is already ruled by a minority, adding 60 votes to that means gridlock forever. Wyoming bare rates a congressional district, but it gets two senators, so do the other empty spaces.

That word "just".

Mostly used by bystanders, fans and incompetent bosses. Used by spectators.

That's just the point, there are strong indicators the democrats could pick up enough seats to change the senate rules. It's not just the polls, which appear unreliable, but the pattern of registrations and small donor donations. Mitch is most concerned since Donald left a few turds for senate candidates. Except for constitutional requirements a simple majority sets the rules in the senate for votes, and it usually happens at the beginning of a session.

Personally, I don't know how the republicans can survive such a shitstorm as this with Trump around their necks, but we shall see in 50 days.

As a person IN the trenches. This shit is real and the competition is real too. If we are able to change the Senate rules to enable democracy instead of the weird ass filibuster in an already biased-toward-small-states body that gives the minority the ability to block everything and anything the majority is trying to accomplish, there will be no "just" about it.

It will be a struggle, but look at all the help Trump and the republicans are giving you! :lol: Win enough in November and it will be whole new ballgame, lose, even the house and it will be chaos at home and internationally. Trump will most likely set the republican house agenda from his cell, "Get me outta here"!

Trump lawyers don't want to say if he declassified documents in FBI search

Trump lawyers don't want to say if he declassified documents in FBI search

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers resisted revealing whether he declassified materials seized in an August FBI search of his Florida home as the U.S. judge appointed to review the documents planned his first conference on the matter on Tuesday.
www.reuters.com www.reuters.com

On Tuesday, Trump's legal team filed its response to the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, opposing the government's request and calling the Justice Department's investigation "unprecedented and misguided."

In their 40-page filing, Trump's attorneys said the court should not take the Justice Department at its word that the roughly 100 documents in question are in fact still classified, and said the special master should be permitted to review them as a step towards "restoring order from chaos."


If the documents are not classified, who declassified them? I guess they are saying the court should take Trump's word that he declassified the documents without any evidence -- or statement in court -- whatsoever. Even so, the crimes Trump is being investigated over does not require they be classified and the documents belong to the government regardless. The Appeals Court will have Trump's legal team's brief today. Let's hope for a speedy and proper decision by them.

Perhaps there is some evidence on those tippy top-secret documents, such as handwritten notes on them by Trump or maybe a price tag that Trump wants to hide? At the very least, fingerprints will tell an interesting tale.

The magats are such hypocrites.
If Obama had not submitted his tax returns and put a relative in an advisory position in the W/H, the magats would have had him publicly executed.
But everything the "magat king" does is ok..........nothing but blind sheep.
