Who is doomed? That has not been established. America was on a roll under Trump. We ran the rack so to speak. Now we are an empire in decline, robbed blind by the wretched, teeming refuge extending from shore to border across this great land clamoring for more benefits and freebies from the bloated government teat.
Roe v Wade was flawed from a conservative perspective on the premise, not because it was about abortion. The Supreme Court read a constitutional right into the constitution that wasn’t expressly stated. The striking down of roe v Wade simply affirmed what many people have said for decades: abortion should be left up to the individual states.
1. Where is "one man, one vote" expressly stated in the Constitution? Where is "separation of Church and State" expressly stated in the Constitution?
"One man one vote" isn't considered a constitutional right.
Separation of church and state is the establishment clause in the 1st amendment. Did you not know that? It is also implicit even before the 1st amendment that congress didn't have the authority in Article I.

Wrong. The Constitution is governed by Judeo-Christian principles that overwhelm liberal secularist leanings as a bulwark for liberty and freedom. That is the way the J. Christ-fearing Founders envisioned it during the drafting sessions.
The US government says Jews here make up 2.4% yet 60% of hate crimes here are committed against Jews.
"Reported single-bias anti-Jewish hate crime incidents in the country sharply rose by more than 37%, reaching 1,122 incidents, the highest number recorded in almost three decades and the second-highest number on record."
AS this is a thread on Biden, let's get back on track
Encyclopedia of Jewish and Israeli history, politics and culture, with biographies, statistics, articles and documents on topics from anti-Semitism to Zionism.
That American Jews are now a uniquely endangered minority group in America has become gospel in many sectors of American discourse. It is invoked not just as an abstract thought, but for very serious consequences to justify a wide range of measures that the American right has spent years condemning: censorship, cancel culture, campus rules and banning of protests. This claim about the victimhood of American Jews is transforming American political life. That is not an exaggeration. A new Politico article today declares the Israel-Hamas war is redefining the limits of free speech in the United States. A news article from a New Jersey newspaper today reports that Jewish high schools are demanding plans from colleges to keep students safe.
But is all of this true? Are victim narratives offered on behalf of American Jews – that they feel unsafe on campuses, in workplaces and American life generally – more valid, compelling and convincing than similar victimhood narratives offered on behalf of other minority groups? Are special changes required to the law, to our speech laws, to campus rules, to the limits of what can be argued by members of Congress in order to protect them? We'll consider the very serious implications of this debate.
Then: There is, yet again, serious confusion in American political discourse about the scope of free speech in the United States. Newfound censorship advocates in the wake of the Israel-Gaza war have argued that certain views being expressed on campuses and at protests are not really protected free speech and therefore can be legally censored because these views are hateful, because they call for violence and because they are likely to incite violence against a vulnerable minority group. Those are the traditional left-liberal theories for why censorship of right-wing speech is justified. But is it valid in this case, or does it represent a radical distortion of the scope of free speech as protected by the First Amendment? We'll examine the relevant free speech precedents from the Supreme Court to once again emphasize how broad America's free speech rights are and how important it is that they remain broad.
And then, finally, a new poll from The New York Times has extremely bad news for Joe Biden and the Democrats, including a finding that Donald Trump leads Joe Biden by a significant margin in five out of the six key swing states that Biden was declared the winner of in 2020. But even more alarming, from the Democratic Party perspective, black and Latino voters are abandoning Biden and the Democrats in record numbers. We'll examine why this is and what this means.
I have to give hardloper credit. Most right wingers are hiding their desire to restrict voting and make this a Theocracy of their choosing. He is flat out fighting the letsrun fight to do so. We are seeing more of that with Bannon, boehbert, Tucker and Flynn publicly promising to take back the country with their brand of "Christianity" dictating the government because they "believe" they are appointed by God to do so.
I put the word "believe" in quotation marks because these guys could care less about religion. It is power, money and evading criminal prosecution that they are after. The religion is the secret sauce that gets their message to take hold. As it has throughout history.
There are a lot of countries that established their versions of theocracy and were successful. You dont want to live there. (Iran, Syria, Saudia Arabia). But right wingers think it would be different here because it is their religion that will stomp on others.

AS this is a thread on Biden, let's get back on track
You were having a wonderful time talking about hate crimes against Jews and Muslims even recalling a chalk swastika drawn in your town, but when one shoots down what you are saying with actual facts ... Newname wants to "get back on track " because this is, after all, the Biden thread .
Who do you think would be Trump's picks if he was given a 2nd term. Hmm. Maybe Mike Flynn-Director of the Joint Chiefs. Jeffrey Clark DOJ. Steve Bannon-Secretary of State. Sidney Powell FBI director. Marjorie Taylor Greene-something??? Tommy Tuberville will be rewarded for holding off military appointments.
You think I am exaggerating. There are reports that Trump is floating these ideas to the ones that are out being "loyal" to him. They are all auditioning for positions. And Trump will not be restrained like he was in his first term. The Washington Post story describes plans to change the thinking of these organizations to be "loyal" to Trump instead of loyal to the office of the Presidency.
Every time anyone underestimates Trump's insane Authoritarian goals, they get proved wrong.

Why do you not want to discuss Biden's cabinet on this thread about Joe Biden?
I don't know what you think anything I have said has been "shot down with facts". Can you explain?

Could any admin be worse than Biden's?
Less than 3 years in and it has been a total disaster.
Aren't you the guy who ends every other post with the words, "We are doomed!" ?
heh
yeah I probably paid too much attention to polls.
the pattern for a few years has been:
Dems poll badly, agip frets
Dems win elections
Sounds like we may not be doomed. But we may be doomed. Trump as president is doom.
Will be entertaining to watch the Libs - like Babs Streisand and Chelsea Handler - promise to flee the country to Canada - and in 2024 when Trump wins - again fail to follow up on their promise.
