Biden should challenge Republican voters tonight in his SOTU speech.

It should be a simple challenge. Nothing complex or demanding.

In my opinion, he should challenge Republican voters to ask their Republican Congressmen a few simple questions before they vote.

So, do they support our republican democracy (or democratic republic) or do they support an autocracy?

Do they support Victor Orban, the leader of Hungary? Perhaps they should Google him and find out his history and just what he has done in Hungary to their democratic institutions and the businesses in that country? How many has he put out of business because of sky high taxes and regulations? Why does Donald Trump admire him?

Does their Congressman support Vladimir Putin?

Republicans across this nation should be asking their elected representatives some very serious questions.

As fellow Americans, is that too much to ask?

Why Republicans, like Mitch McConnell, continue to support Donald Trump?

When you look up "sleazebag" in the dictionary, there is a picture of Donald Trump.

Republicans do not support Donald Trump because he was a great president or a great patriot or a great American.

They support him because he has their Party by the balls and he's not afraid to squeeze them until they squeal.

They are spineless politicians that do not deserve the vote of even one American.

The very existence of the Republican Party is in the hands of Donald J Trump and they know it. They have no choice but to do whatever he asks.

They grovel. They kiss ass. They will throw the country under the bus if it will keep their Party alive and keep them in power.

It's really sad that Americans cannot see what is happening with Republican politicians.

Spineless Supreme Court lets voters decide what is legal or not?

They said only Congress could decide to remove a candidate from the ballot. Congress had already decided. They decided in 1868. They passed the 14th Amendment and put it in the Constitution.

The Colorado Supreme Court tried to make their job easier but they wanted no part of it. They were looking for a loophole. They ruled against our Constitution.

The US Supreme Court shirked its responsibility. Rather than make a decision about the law, they said it was up to the voters to decide.

How could they decide that laws were broken on January 6th, 2021? How could they agree with the Colorado Supreme Court that Donald Trump engaged in insurrection at that time? How could they make a decision about the law?

After all, they are only the Supreme Court.

America is a sick country.

Donald Trump is a sick, sick man.

His followers are sick people, also. They are willing to sacrifice everything this country has fought and died for, just for the benefit of a criminal cult leader.

It's a fair bet that many of their fathers and grandfathers fought to defend this democracy from Hitler and the Nazi scourge in WWII.

Now, in their sickness, they are willing to throw it all away. Like a cancer, their brains have been eaten away by the lies and propaganda of right-wing media. They worship a wealthy, lying criminal because he appeals to their hatred and prejudices.

America is sick, all the way up to the Supreme Court.

Unless the sane Americans can get to the polls this November, there appears to be no antidote.

Could the Feds take over the Atlanta RICO case?

It is my understanding that Federal laws were also violated.

Is this not possible?

The Supreme Court is guilty of obstruction of justice.

Not only that, they are in violation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.

It is no secret that Clarence Thomas and his wife, Ginni, assisted the insurrectionists on January 6th, 2021.

By preventing Donald Trump from going to trial, the present Justices are "aiding and abetting" the insurrectionists and they are violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

They have become nothing more than partisan puppets.

Why Mitch McConnell decided to step down from leadership in November?

He simply could not stand the idea of defending Donald Trump any longer, if he was elected President. He could see the writing on the wall. He knew what he would be asked to do.

He is fearful of what Donald Trump will do if elected in November. He does not want to be connected to him in any way.

But, it is too late.

McConnell had his chances and he blew it. He wanted to go down in history as creating a conservative Supreme Court. Instead, he will go down in history as creating a dictator that destroyed democracy in America.

Thanks a lot, Mitch!

Does the Supreme Court decision stop all Federal prosecutions in their tracks?

Most notably, the election interference in Washington DC and the stolen documents case in Florida?

Since they have already side-tracked the Georgia investigation of Fani Willis, the only case that is actually still active is the New York Fraud case, which the Supreme Court cannot stop, as far as we know?

It appears that the Supreme Court has made the decision to assist Donald Trump in his efforts to delay his criminal trials.

They like to portray it as a Democratic Party attack upon Trump and the Republican Party, when in fact, it is a Republican Party attack upon the rule of justice.

Republicans know Trump is going to trial...

Yet, they pretend it is no big deal.

They have no one to blame but themselves when they start screaming and pulling their hair out because the DOJ and the Democrats are prosecuting their "nominee".

Yet, like the Big Muddy, they are waist deep and the damn fool tells them to "keep marching".

Only they can fix their problem. The right-wing media is not going to fix it. The MAGA base is not going to fix it. It's their baby.

July will be here soon and they will be nominating Donald Trump at their National Committee. They know what they are doing.

May they disappear into the ether of history.
