Alzheimer's is one thing, but with dementia I'd probably just rather take my chances. Having some lucid moments mixed in with the fog of dementia would to me be far better than not having any moments at all.

Having a stroke is the really scary thing though. Being a total prisoner inside your own body is a terrifying thought.

Not familiar with the source, but from the name I assume its right wing, and the more the right gets disillusioned with this administration the more hope we have for stopping the madness.

Well one of the four had to side with the liberals in denying cert, and it was almost definitely Roberts not only because he is the least conservative, but also because he wrote the opinion denying it.

Didn't realize until now that Trump's first foreign visit will be Saudi Arabia. Got curious and saw that his 2nd will be Israel and his 3rd will be the Vatican.

Did someone tell him a religious joke or something recently?

Not sure how people don't see how the quid pro quo between KSA and US benefit each other. KSA does all of US's dirty work in Yemen and avoids condemnation for human rights violations while our government keeps busy with Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.

My uncle was showing early stage dementia, but just had some kind of heart surgery and is apparently doing a lot better now. So yeah - dementia would be iffy.

I'm going to build a robot that will ask me to name family members by picture every morning. If I score less than 5 out of 10 it will kill me. What could go wrong?

Lew, serious question: where exactly do you think tax money goes? Like after the government collects it and then does stuff with it, what happens then?

Roberts does a good job doing a lot of salient crap to appease right wingers while quietly acting sane. It's really hard to be well educated and have a shred of dignity and side with *******s like Alito on issues like "not letting the government be super ****ing racist about fundamental rights."

Honestly, he's a super ****ing smart dude who knows that people will talk about "The Roberts Court" in a certain way 100 years from now. He doesn't want that discussion to be negative.

This is not a crisis, Republicans say as a large spider slowly devours them

Trump gonna let the Clapper stuff slide?

Highly suggest reading up on Art Pope (there was a great New Yorker article a few years back) and how he basically came into NC and completely changed the state to a Republican stronghold, at least at the legislative level.

Trumps hair is just blowing in the wind like a ratty flag on a flag pole. I hope people publish photos of his bald head, that will get him worked up

Hey, finally we agree on something! You forgot to mention the blatant racist 8 year long obstructionism because of a black president. If Obama came up with a cure for world hunger the republicans would've fought that every step of the way too and would now be trying to repeal it if it succeeded. Can't have something good contributing to the legacy of a BLACK president!

As bad as that whole list is, the stolen supreme court seat and voter suppression were the most egregious acts of moral bankruptcy, imo. But don't make the mistake of letting the Dems off so easy. While they definitely occupy much more space of the moral high ground, they are also corrupt to the hilt. And it's worth noting that their approval ratings aren't the best right now either. HRC was a lying, conniving POS who just happened to be light years better than the alternative Trump. 2018 is a key year imo. We either continue voting for run of the mill Dems (which will solve nothing) or we need to find true progressives to run and fill every seat possible including the most local levels.

It starts at the local level. You and I and each poster on this board have our individual preferences and ideals for the way things should be. But the biggest way we can effect change is by attacking the local level directly. There's no rule that says you can't go after a Democratic Rep. or Senator if you think they aren't serving We the People. Focus your actions on the area you live. If you live in a highly conservative area, just getting a moderate democrat elected could be a huge victory. If you live in a more progressive area, push for ballot referendums like statewide universal healthcare, statewide universal college, higher minimum wage on the state level, etc.

Hawaii v. Trump on the Muslim Ban right now:

Chinese say Trump is biggest selling point in Kushner investment

"The way to end racism is to stop discriminating on the basis of race" as a reason to gut the VRA is gonna be incredulously quoted 100 years from now. It might be the only thing anyone other than legal scholars read about in connection with him. Dude is standing proudly on the side of white supremacy.

Rude.

The lawyer for Hawaii just quoted Trump as saying "he's going to help the Christians big league." lmao

Here' an opinion piece that asks Democrats to ignore logic in the name of civility

I feel like there's gonna be a lot of really productive dialogue in the concentration camps we eventually dialogue ourselves into.
