Trump Calls Himself a Nationalist

"You know, they have a word. It sort of became old-fashioned. It's called a nationalist," he continued. "And I say, 'Really, we're not supposed to use that word?' You know what I am? I'm a nationalist. ... Use that word."

not even pretending any more

MSM Needs to Investigate Whether Republican Dark Money is Paying for the 'Caravan'

It seems waaaay to convenient?

Note, Republican media (which I won't post links to here) have tried to link them to Soros, which says to me they are trying to hide something now...

Time to Consider the Direct Election of the Supreme Court

Yes, it would take a Constitutional Amendment, but hear me out. The advise and consent power has become partisan outside of any democratic process. We the people, quite literally, don't get a say. Imagine some of the possibilities:

-Expand the number of Justices
-Direct popular vote in non-partisan races the first November after a vacancy emerges.
-Retention votes every 4 years on Presidential cycle for all justices.
-limitations on age, before the bar, etc.

The Supreme Court was designed to be Conservative and elitist. Can we please to away with this non-democratic institution already?
