Thom. If Biden wins, why can’t he just replace the head of the fed, Powell? That way, Powell could not start any downturn or depression . Biden is going to have a lot of change ups to do, and he will not be helped because trump will not have a transition team. trump does not have a working team now, just a bunch of Yohos.
Congrats on #8!

"What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
xuerex: The same Mitt Romney who voted for impeachment and who will not be seeking re-election? What am I supposed to make out of these? That politicians (all over the spectrum) take the (their) “correct” decisions in their last term?
stopgap: interesting insinuation that Reps (“conservatives”/pro “free marketeers”) are increasing our debt, thus, opening (widely) the path to bankruptcy (with their “voodoo” economics) and Dems(“socialists”/ pro (benevolent) “government”) try to save money, zero the deficit (if I am not wrong Clinton managed it, before it went red again). I agree with you that this is a general cocnlucion valid for the last 4 decades (and based on my partial knowledge). At the same time, I would like to add that this has happened and continues to happen elsewhere. Socialist in Europe have taken what are traditionally thought conservative measures, and vice versa. In a somewhat extreme case, conservatives nationalized companies, socialists privatized them, and conservatives semi-nationalized them. It is as if the content of words like “socialism” and “conservatism” has “rotated” b y almost 180 degrees since after WWII.
As for the Electoral College, it is just a peculiarity. If enough of us want to replace it with something else or even with nothing, I presume there is a due process. In the mean time, as far as I know the members of the Electoral College are NOT obliged to vote in a specific way. In principle they could vote according to the popular vote or to their boy/girl-friends wish or randomly or whatever. In principle, the member of Electoral College are RESPONSIBLE for choosing president and vice-president. It is their problem if they just want to party or cast their vote after serious deliberation. In some sense the Electoral College performs like one of our juries. Whether our political system should have one or not is an ongoing debate, mainly academic, and should not be judged by occasional results that some people like and some not.
deepspace: Are “black and white” arguments, a good way to resolve the divisiveness pursued by the “other” side? Such arguments appear more “ferocious”, but in the long run, history has shown that they end up twisted and not differing essentially from authoritarian ones. Trying to speed up evolution (beyond a certain point) is as “bad’ (stupid?) as trying (beyond a certain point) to stop it. The vast majority of our constitution and our laws, I believe, are very reasonable. The “devil” lies in the implementation. That is why it is important to educate (and train) properly the people whom we are going to vote in positions of implementing the Law (including the Law officers who give speed tickets or arrest a citizen to investigate whatever lawful).
If ever there was a name of an institution that exemplifies the word “oxymoron “ its the term “Electoral College.” What institution that embraces the word “College” as part of its identity, would have against the will of the majority, offered George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump as the product of their intellectual, scholarly cogitations.
In every case that the Electoral College has been called on to perform their duty, when this arcane technicality is contrary to the outcome of the popular vote, the results have been catastrophic.
And now the very term “American Democracy” is in danger of becoming obsolete due to their cowardice. Who the hell are these people? It is truly amazing that a group, relatively unknown and seemingly unaccountable to the American public, can be the final arbiters of disastrous electoral decisions affecting the fate of every American and the planet itself.
Xuereh, Better double-check your research. Doug Jones is up for election this cycle and we have our fingers crossed and are holding our breath. He won the 2017 special election to replace Jeff Sessions who became Attorney General. That term is up 1/3/2021. Not sure how that affects your conclusion, but thought you might want know.
Remember when Obama asked for a stimulus package to recover from the bankster recession of 2008 and Mitch said "Oh no, the deficit, what about the children?" The Trump economic upturn was due to the enormous tax cut that was an artificial stimulus (creating a huge deficit). As soon as the dems are back in, Mitch will say "Oh no, the deficit caused by Covid, we need to privatize Social Security and cut Medicare/Medicaid to reduce the national debt."
The Republicans are very good at giving bills great names that basically do the opposite of what they are. The Trust Act. Is a Republicon bill to cut Social Security and Medicare.
There are three Democrats that have signed on to the "TRUST Act" of Mitt Romney.
They are Kristen Sinema, Joe Manchin and Doug Jones of Alabama, none of them are up for election this cycle, and thus feel free to take a bribe from Wall Street. I sincerely hope that Pelosi does not take this up, but expect to be disappointed.
Thom had Beyond Nuclear on yesterday to discuss the 60 million bribery case in Ohio with First Energy and its 2 Nukes in Ohio. It also own 2 reactors in PA. There is also a recent case in SC where SCANA was building 2 reactors. The CEO is convicted of pocketing about a Billion. You can bet that there is a similar scandel in GA where they are building 2 reactors to the tune of $30 billion. An example of The potential corruption in the nuclear industry is in how many cancelled plants there are.
People are already referring to this era as The Reckoning. That is an action term or it can mean a settlement. I prefer to call it The Reflection. It suits the times. The origin of reflection is the Latin word reflectere meaning “to bend backwards, turn away” as a verb, or as a noun it’s “a remark made after turning back one’s thought on a subject”.
The ability to disseminate information and capture images of humans and their interactions has become remarkable. It truly has forced us to see where we are, what we are doing, and to reflect on where we’ve been. By taking a good look in the mirror, perhaps we can reclaim the status of the word "humanity".
To do so we must get through this last horrible bit of anxiety and fear while we do the WORK. Onward and upward until we can look at ourselves and say "that looks better!"
My brother suggested I might like this blog. He used to be entirely right. This publish truly made my day. You can not consider simply how a lot time I had spent for this info! Thanks!

I believe that what Trump and the Republicans are doing (i.e., related to Covid 19 and immigration) is GENOCIDE against Black and Hispanics. Do you have statistics on the percentage of Blacks and Hispanics who have died of Covid 19 compared with the total who have died??
Exactly.
One of the most absurd untruths perpetrated by corporate media financial pundits, their Wall Street masters, and right-wing "think" tanks, which until recently has been consistently reflected in polling concerning Trump's single most important advantage among low-information and ill-informed voters (the power of propaganda), is that Republicans are good for the economy -- the real economy -- much more so than Democrats.
History proves otherwise. But reliable Republican voters, especially Trump supporters, are not interested in the truth; they only want to believe convenient and comfortable lies that fit their delusional worldviews -- pablum fed to them by stovepiped "news" sources spinning the self-dealing agendas of the rich, the powerful, and the few.

#18: The balance of nature also balances the mind.
The most telling thing about Trump supporters is, that the more Obama did to rescue the US from economic collapse, end the mortgage crisis, bring healthcare to tens of millions, save the American auto industry and regulate banking to insure that the average person would not be screwed out of their life savings, the more the Trumpers despised him. The more Trump does to bankrupt the treasury by funneling money though tax breaks to the rich, steal taxpayer money by scheduling government events and using taxpayer money to accommodate foreign representivies at his properties, incredible bungling of the Covid-19 crisis resulting in over one hundred forty thousand American deaths and on and on and on, the more they adore him.
“person man woman camera tv”…what a fucking genius!
Let’s face it, the US has always been a schizophrenic, yin yang duality of white supremacy, greed and fear to validate and facilitate our western expansion, contrasted with a sense of morality, justice and equality as a result of the era of enlightenment. Even this represents a revolutionary important governmental evolution that recognized that all people are equal in the eyes of the law. From our modern perspective its hard for the majority of us to believe that there was ever any doubt about this.
Enter Donald Trump…proving that not only is there a substantial portion of the population that is still mired down in Medieval ethics unable to evolve to a higher plane. They are so bitter that they were subjected to the leadership of a black president, in response they rabidly embraced the ascension of the most morally corrupt, perversely deviant, pathological lying, despicably sadistic biped to be their messiah, as long as he validated their own greed and sense of white superiority…the nation be damned!
Republicans can only understand the concept of “the carrot and the stick” as the proper method of controlling behavior. Should, by some miracle, Democrats regain control of the government…Republicans must be shown a lot more “stick” and a lot less “carrot.”
