cachukis's JournalMcAffee, like Hur, has followed in the shoes of
some Supremes, in injecting politics,
rather than limit to the law, with their commentary.
It is almost like an evangelical energy guides their presentation.
We have been dragged pretty low in the last few years.
Let us hope some single issue voters don't sink us.
There is a point to be made overlooked by all.
Visualize, if you will, two planes flying through clouds meeting in mid flight. Unanticipated, one might say.
But in the pipeline are miniature radar systems, easily installed, that would have warned the pilots.
Why had the airlines not upgraded? The install was expensive and not yet needed until an accident happened.
Here we have an amendment that addresses an insurrection by name, but congress has not established a statute to manage that crash. Why?
The crash hadn't happened. But the tool to lay blame exists.
The justices are not recognizing this aspect inherent in the amendment.
It is why there is no statute to address a president, on his watch, attempting to overthrow an election.
Section 3 addresses anyone conspiring and acting to upend the constitution as being unfit.
Saying they need a statute is moot because you can only address the future with that statute.
What do you do with an amendment written to exclude an insurrectionist if it requires a statute to enforce? The crime slides because you demand a tool that hasn't been written.
I listened to Lawrence Lesser last night and though about this escape and remembered a plane incident years ago.
Let us ignore the ounce of prevention and let trump get away.
When Florida enacts a condominium statute, eventually every state follows. Florida has studied condominium law.
To say Colorado can't lead on this, shows the shallowness to individual rights over the general good.
Frustrated.
If there is a fallacy to my reasoning, please share.
Biden can no longer say he is the only one to
beat trump.
E. Jean Carroll should be part of his rhetoric.
Jen Psaki is learning. She has inside insight.
Rachel is esoteric. Jen is connecting that lesson with Liz Smith.
Is it okay to wear a forty year old fox jacket to a
NYC wedding at the end of this year?
My wife last wore it there thirty years ago, or so.
I don't think people carry eggs or paint in their pockets, but we don't want to roil the observers.
Been contemplating about the younger thinkers out there today.
I was in their midst until 2017 when I clapped my last eraser.
2007 was a seminal year. The smart phone showed up. It was the beginning of shared knowledge from peers rather than expertise. Kids always learn the dirty words from their buds, but still listened to their living ancestors.
Those students of 10 to 18 are now 26 to 34.
They rarely sit at the dinner table.
Think about this contrast: Many of us wished for our Santa presents off a Sears or Zayres or Woolworth's flyer.
Not saying everyone gets what they hope for, but the pressure on those without and even those, with, sparingly, is mighty intense.
Who has influence on the youth?
Not us. We let that go.
I'm sure there is justifiable disagreement, but I suspect that to be anecdotal.
We have little influence on what is coming down in the next decades, but we can fend off a whirlwind of betrayal if we get our dander up one last time.
Made a comment the other day on the Biden, Xi
meeting, that we were still in the driver's seat and Biden's response would indicate where we are.
I am not a diplomat and can't gather all the nuance, but Xi knows he has more in the game he can't walk away from.
Biden had to acknowledge this and agree to personal discussions.
Xi knows we know the consequences of war and are opposed to engage.
It is left to an amicable relationship, according to Xi, that there is room enough on the planet for both.
I had an international friend explain to me about NAFTA, that it was going to happen, regardless. Best to manage than be managed.
That is what we face. Tired as he was, Biden faced the press.
Be aware, that is who we face. I'd rather Biden and his team than the alternative by a long shot.
Joe Biden is too old. Who are you going to vote for
when the other guy wants to ruin what makes you proud to be American?
You are in the booth.
We got this far. I can't see us going back.
Saw this guy on Chris Hayes
who reported conversations from those living on Israel side of Gaza border who he described as kinda like hippies who were hoping peace would win.
Just caught the end so missed his name and maybe a tape will clarify my impressions, but was struck by the idea that peace could win.
Isn't that what it's all about?
Those people are are in flux as are we who hope for the same.
