Below is my column in the New York Post on President Joe Biden’s call to reform the Supreme Court by ending lifetime tenure for Supreme Court justices.
Here is the column:
President (and Supreme Court Chief Justice) William Howard Taft once said “presidents come and go, but the Supreme Court goes on forever.”
But not if Joe Biden has his way. Indeed, both the president and Court as we know it could be gone.
In a failed attempt to save his nomination, Biden offered to “reform” the Court by imposing an 18-year term limit that would jettison the three most senior conservative justices.
With only six months left in his presidency, Biden’s efforts are likely to fail, but, unfortunately, could set the stage for activists under a Harris Administration in seeking to change the Court forever.
For more than 50 years, Biden staunchly refused to play politics with the Supreme Court and support calls for “reforms” from the left of his party.
For a politician who has long been criticized for changing positions with the polls on issues from abortion to criminal justice to gun rights, the Court was one of the few areas of true principle for Biden.
Even though he refused to answer questions on packing the Court in the 2020 election, he ultimately rejected the call as president.
Yet Biden’s final principle fell this month when facing the premature and involuntary end of his candidacy. Faced with being a one-term president, the Supreme Court would have to be sacrificed.
Biden opted for the least of the evils in pushing for term limits rather than court packing.
It was the more popular option for Biden to yield on. Voters have always loved term limits.
The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found 67% of Americans, including 82% of Democrats and 57% of Republicans, support a proposal to set finite terms for justices.
But there were few law professors and even fewer Democratic members clamoring for term limits until conservatives secured a stable majority on the Court. Then, suddenly, the Court had to be “reformed” without delay.
It is no accident that the first three justices who would be term limited off the Court are conservatives: Clarence Thomas (after 33 years on the Court), Chief Justice John Roberts (after 19 years), and Justice Samuel Alito (after 18 years).
Think, however, about the iconic decisions we would have lost with term limits in place. Liberal Justice Williams Douglas’s 36 years on the Court would have literally been cut in half. He would have been kicked off in 1957.
His famous opinions like Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), striking down bans on contraceptives, would not have been written — an ironic result for those seeking limits after the Court’s ruling in Dobbs.
Likewise, liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s tenure would have ended in 2011 before she wrote her famous dissent Shelby County v. Holder (2013), defending voting rights.
Anthony Kennedy’s term would have ended in 2011 rather than 2018, before he wrote opinions such as United States v. Windsor, striking down the Defense of Marriage Act.
Obviously, other justices could have written opinions in these cases, but the point is that many justices wrote their best opinions after 18 years on the Court.
Moreover, the Framers clearly wanted these positions as lifetime appointments as an added protection against political pressure or influence.
For more than two centuries, presidents have struggled with the Supreme Court, but none (until now) have attempted to end life tenure on the Court.
Presidents have served as the firewall for the anger and radicalism that has periodically engulfed the Court.
Now President Biden is leading the mob for changing this institution for the first time since its founding.
It is a testament to what I call “an age of rage” in my new book. After years of supporting the Court when it was setting aside conservative precedent, liberals now want the Court changed to dump or dilute the majority.
It is unlikely to end there. After sending Thomas, Roberts, and Alito packing, many want to go further and pack the Court itself.
Democratic leaders such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) have called for outright court packing — a proposal that Vice President Kamala Harris has suggested that she might support.
Where Biden is a political opportunist in belatedly joining this movement, Harris is a true believer from the far left.
If she is elected, the Congress is still likely to be closely divided. That will only increase pressure to convert the Court into an alternative avenue for social and political reform.
Harvard professor Michael Klarman warned that all of the plans to change the country were ultimately dependent on packing the court.
With the 2020 election, he stated that Democrats could change the election system to guarantee Republicans “will never win another election.”
Notably, if Biden were to seek this change as a legislative matter without a constitutional amendment, future Congresses could short terms further from 18 to 8 years or even less.
In his speech, Biden declared that he wanted the membership of the Court changed with greater “regularity.”
If Congress has this authority, it could change the occupants of the Court faster than a South Beach timeshare condo.
That is clearly the opposite of what the Framers intended, but Biden insists that these times are different and democracy will only be safeguarded by attacking one of our core stabilizing institutions.
According to the Washington Post, the president made his pledge in a Zoom call to the left-wing Congressional Progressive Caucus, chaired by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and co-chaired by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.). It did not succeed in resuscitating his candidacy.
The pledge will be dead on arrival with Congress. What is left is a King Lear-like tragedy of a president, betrayed by those closest to him, and wandering the land for continued relevance.
History will show a pitiful figure who offered up the Court as the cost of staying in power, only to lose his candidacy and his legacy.
Jonathan Turley is a Fox News Media contributor and the Shapiro professor of public interest law at George Washington University. He is the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
Biden had three and a half years to submit legislation that would shift control of the Supreme Court to the executive branch. He didn’t do so because he knew it was a dead end looser in Congress. All of a sudden Joe springs into action three months before a national election. You are paying him for this huge waist of time so that Jill can give him another sticker. Now Kaklin Kamala has changed her tune on fracking saying that she will not ban fracking if she is elected. There’s a long trail of tape that shows that she has said exactly the opposite in the past. Now that Pennsylvania which is a big fracking state is in play in the election she turns on dime. Suddenly she’s figured out that the state that is second in the Nation in oil production is New Mexico. Why aren’t the environmentalist going crazy over Kamala’s new found love of fracking? They lied about Joe’s health. They will even throw the Green New Deal Under the bus if they think it will get her elected. We can expect the next flip flop will be that Fracking is the devil once she is elected. Would you bet against it?
Good for Joe. Took him awhile to wake up and smell the coffee. He just couldn’t get his head around the fact R’s aren’t rational actors.
Anonymous, Joe was promoting leftist ideas long before you came along. Why is it that you can’t understand that removing the power of the Supreme Court and placing it in the hands of the administrative branch of the government is the first act of all despotic governments. Most recently your prescriptions of action are to be found in the actions of the Maduro government in Venezuela. Thank you for revealing your agreement with the likes of Maduro and Castro. You have been very informative.
There should not be an “administrative” branch of government beyond the local. The Constitution does not provide for a single, federal alphabet agency to exist.
And thank you for being wildly hallucinatory.
Glad I’ve been informative. I, in turn, should thank you for being pathological.
Joe can barely get his head around 2+2
Gotcha. You of course know the answer is 22. Because you’re not as dumb as people think you are.
But you are clearly as dumb as we think you are.
Badge of honor for me. You’re wildly delusional. I’d hope we disagree on virtually everything because you’re a full on ass clown. Every bit as stupid as you sound.
Lame
We don’t disagree. You know I’m right.
You just love behaving like a douche. You’ve said so before. It’s the only reason you come here.
Being dumb is your badge of honor…interesting. I guess it makes sense for someone who eats boogers.
Ha!! Loser. There’s not been a moment in your time at this blog where I haven’t been totally in your head. I love it.
Will you come back tomorrow pretending to be an “Eisenhower conservative”? Or maybe a “Reagan democrat”?
LMAO what a trollish, douchebag, turd licking move. So predictable.
As someone who was born, lived and worked in PA for 56 years – and then moved to NM 24 years ago, I assure you there are way too many FOOLish voters in both states who treat everything the D party says as “truth” and vote they way the D party and its power brokers tell them to vote.
Democrats’ attacks of every sacred institution in our nation are well documented. Democrats have been stoking a civil war since 2016 and they will not stop. Virginia’s Attorney General, Jason Miyares, is investigating Act Blue for allegedly using fake names of residents in Virginia, to cover for dark money and foreign donations in the millions of dollars. Other state AGs are doing likewise. Act Blue funds the DNC trolls that populate this forum
Civil War has already begun in Venezuela. Marxist dictator Ernesto Maduro rigged the elections of 28 July. He had his followers construct fake ballots, Maduro election officials prohibited opposition candidates and voters from entering voting centers, and shut down voting centers by afternoon while long lines of voters had formed. Maduro declared himself the winner even if discontent, starvation and misery are rampant, and exit polling predicted him losing by over 30 percentage points. Similarities to Trump-Biden 2020 election are no coincidence. One of Venezuela’s biggest financial supporters is Iran because of their petroleum. Biden’s US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has granted Iran’s every wish.
The Organization of American States has denounced the Venezuela election results, and Maduro has unleashed his brown shirts (colectivos) to shoot Venezuelans as they hide behind masks, throw Molotov cocktails at innocent civilians and kill people…several have already died. Kamala Harris funded these types of guerrilla tactics in 2020 vis a vis BLM ANTIFA.
Video follows of Maduro brown shirts shooting in a plaza in Caracas while on motorcycles wearing masks. We have seen these tactics in America by Democrats

Maduros brown shirts are arresting the opposition candidates. Sound familiar?

I gotta say, if Act Blue is paying Dennis and the like to be here, its not just money wasted. Its money contra their cause.
George, Dennis and Gigi’s brand of deluded libtard unreality creates unity on the right, and invokes nausea for anyone who might come here underinformed.
By constantly spewing easily provable lies, they discredit everything they try to defend.
Estovir,
Well said.
“Democrats’ attacks of every sacred institution in our nation are well documented. “
That is why no one should vote for a Democrat candidate, even if the Democrat is running for dog catcher. They have to be destroyed so a new Democrat party can evolve. It is essential to vote Republican and then get rid of Republicans who are Demo-lites. I want those who uphold the Constitution and look at the best interests of the American people.
I don’t care about what people say; I care about what they do. I don’t care what they do in their personal lives as long as it is legal. I want people to administer the country and work for the people, not for themselves.
It seems like WordPress is acting screwy again. I will repost.

I just want one thing: protect our borders from enemies. Everything else can be shut down. Families, personal relationships/friends, and churches were foundational in establishing this nation. People had to get along if they wanted to survive. Today people dont want to interact, have personal relationships, be active in religious bodies nor have families. They do want someone to take care of them.
Republicans should not pass one single appropriation bill, shut down the government, and let Americans rely on each other just like in colonial days. People will do what they must do to survive or they will cease to exist.
Less government means less need for politicians, which do nothing but damage to our society
Apr 4, 2024
In 2023, the federal government spent $658 billion on net interest costs on the national debt. That total, which grew by 38 percent from $476 billion in 2022, was the largest amount ever spent on interest in the budget and totaled 2.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Interest costs are on track to become the largest category of spending in the federal budget
https://www.pgpf.org/budget-basics/what-are-interest-costs-on-the-national-debt
“I just want one thing: protect our borders from enemies.”
Yes, that is the government’s primary function.
” Families, personal relationships/friends, and churches were foundational in establishing this nation.”
Yes. Controlling people involuntarily requires a police state. Churches and other organizations control people voluntarily with peer pressure.
In a perfect nation, a government is not seen or heard. Less is more. We are destroying ourselves every time we take a dollar involuntarily from another.
Saddest thing about this column is that “South Beach time share” has replaced “New York minute” as the euphemism for fast action.
“For more than 50 years, Biden staunchly refused to play politics with the Supreme Court …”

The Big Guy doing what he did to Robert Bork is what created the term “Borking”.
Do you bother to read nayone else’s comments, decrepit rabid dog? You’re late to the party.
Turley REALLY needs to hire better trolls. The current crop is FAR too sensitive (not to mention illiterate) when it comes to dealing with well-deserved criticism of Turley AND his hired trolls — aka private army of mercenary attack dogs unleashed in the name of “free speech.”
Appears you’re the sensitive one complaining you bootlicking critter😂
Wambulance here!
Whats hilarious is that you think you are clever. But here is the rub. If they are hired trolls, they don’t give a rats ass what you have to say. If they are not (which I suspect you believe), then they are laughing at your stupid ass and that you are so bothered by them. Get a life, douche.
See below as Dennis the Draft Dodger argues that Plessy and Scott should still be law.
If you still have brain cells left after reading his drivel, you can go here and see all of the SCOTUS overturns thru the years. Dennis seems to think it never happens.
I count 232. Thats pretty much one for every time SCOTUS has been in session. Get a grip, Denny.
That’s how the American system of justice works, and it’s reckless, it’s dangerous, it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like verdict. Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is a cornerstone of America. Our justice system should be respected. We should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that.

“In a failed attempt to save his nomination, Biden offered to “reform” the Court by imposing an 18-year term limit that would jettison the three most senior conservative justices.”
Do you really believe Dementia Joe “offered” this? He was most likely put in place and told to read this.
Professor Turley writes, “Where Biden is a political opportunist in belatedly joining this movement, Harris is a true believer from the far left.”
I disagree but only a little. They’re both opportunists. Biden was a bagman for the East Coast corporate interests headquartered in Delaware, and Harris was a shill for the Beijing-friendly oligarchs on the West Coast. That’s it.
And since the Left is the new
handmaiden of the globalists, Biden and Harris will never forcefully challenge the Left in Western countries. They will always sell out. It’s just a question of timing.
Oligarchs install weak sisters like Biden and Harris because Quislings can be controlled. Pure and simple. Did I mention they’re both idiots and always were. Dementia has never been Biden’s biggest fault. Corruption and cluelessness were.
Biden hated Harris for calling him a racist on national TV, but when he blew his campaign funds by the Summer of 2020, the West Coast oligarchs forced him to take her in exchange for a massive cash infusion.
The West Coast wanted their foot in Washington’s revolving door and her eventual Presidency would be their doormat. It’s an ugly story of backroom deals in that Summer of Covid lunacy.
I think this is the first time in American history that a couple of hacks have occupied both of our top political offices and it shows. Only complete, political incompetents would be ok with this…
Speaking of such, Democrats don’t care about the quality of our politicians. Democrats want to be ruled by a politburo buried within an impenetrable Deep State. Reckless and self-serving apparatchiks like Fauci, Clapper, and Brennan are their heroes.
Harris has never won a single vote for the Oval Office, and now they’re telling us the most undemocratic nomination in American history is just what America needs to save democracy.
The Democrats no longer need or want democracy. Their shogunate is already apparent.
Great comment.
Diogenes speaking the truth!
Diogenes,
Great comment!
Jonathan: The public overwhelmingly supports term limits and other reforms for SC Justices for one reason. Justice Clarence Thomas is the poster child for corruption on the Court. Something you don’t even mention in your column. Thomas has taken millions in what can only be described as “bribes” from billionaire sponsors with business before the Court. Requiring SC Justices to adhere to judicial ethics every other federal judge must comply with will go a long way in removing the stench that presently hangs over the Court.
The present right-wing cabal on the Court is not perceived by the public as “fair and impartial”. In its “immunity” decision the majority made it almost impossible to charge any President with crimes while in office. And the Thomas/Alito wing of the Court did that to benefit one person–DJT. The right-wing of the Court ignores long-standing Court precedents and makes up the law when it serves their political interests. That’s not what the Framers had in mind when they established the judiciary.
But you bizarrely claim Biden is a “pitiful figure”…”who offered up the Court as the cost of staying in power, only to lose his candidacy and his legacy”. Biden didn’t “lose” anything by putting forward long need Court reforms. Historians of the presidency will find Biden did what all “statesmen” do–voluntarily stepping aside to make way for a younger generation and setting aside his own personal political interests to do what was best for the country. That will be Biden’s legacy. If Roberts, Thomas and Alito had the same interests in mind they would have resigned years ago!
“voluntarily stepping aside”
Dennis McIntyre presents himself as a deluded marxist again.
Barak threatened Biden with the 25th. And in retaliation Joe endorsed Kamala. Are you living under a rock?
Get a grip, Denny. Your party is DONE.
Denis puts the “ass” in assertion.
A “right-wing cabal”? Have you ever heard of the (Warren) Burger Court?
That’s how the American system of justice works, and it’s reckless, it’s dangerous, it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like verdict. Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is a cornerstone of America. Our justice system should be respected. We should never allow anyone to tear it down. It’s as simple as that.

Fvck you, Dennis McIntyre
Mr. McIntyre. You are obviously a liberal Democratic fanatic that would prefer to change the constitution framed by the Framers that withstood for nearly 250 years as the most successful democracy in the world. All this for personal and political vendetta that will create a political chaos and defeat the purpose of the balance of powers envisioned by the Framers of this democracy.
Jonathan: The public overwhelmingly supports term limits and other reforms for SC Justices for one reason. Justice Clarence Thomas is the poster child for corruption on the Court.
Jonathan: your Cheap Fake American Friend Dennis is faithfully following the Joseph Goebbels Rule of Truth: if Democrats, ProPublica and Dennis McIntyre keep lying that Justice Thomas is corrupt, eventually it will be accepted as truth.
I won’t ridicule myself as your Cheap Fake Friend Dennis just did by claiming that the Wise Racist Latina Woman Justice Sotomayor is the poster Birthing Person for corruption on the court. But I will point out that she is raking in millions ever since she went looking for publishers who would publish a book written by a female SCOTUS justice of color. Dennis is welcome to explain not only how Thomas is in fact corrupt – but Sotomayor isn’t.
But you bizarrely claim Biden is a “pitiful figure”…”
Yes, Biden who just over a month ago Dennis McIntyre was posting in glowing terms was just a vibrating figure of power and mental acuity. A tower of physical and mental power, working youthful assistants into a state of fatigue every day, as he guided America through the dangerous world he created as Obama’s Third Term.
Historians of the presidency will find Biden did what all “statesmen” do–voluntarily stepping aside to make way for a younger generation
The official Soviet Democrat lie: Biden voluntarily stepped aside after repeatedly vowing he was in it to the end AFTER he catastrophically showed Americans he was barely sentient in the debate (that Dennis McIntyre claimed he won).
That was voluntary, including the threats from billionare donors and bagmen? The visits from the Soviet Democrat party bosses Schumer and Pelosi were to help The Big Guy put together his campaign strategy?
“Pitiful figure” doesn’t describe the stumbling, bumbling figure that was just taken out with a coup of the party bosses? The party insurrection against their elected leader, a clear Danger To Democracy (trademark) where the party faithful who had given him their delegate votes to be the nominee were shoved aside?
I don’t believe for one second that Cheap Fake American Dennis McIntyre has the best interests of America in mind when he comes here every day to lie – poorly – telling us we must not believe our lying eyes.
Justice Clarence Thomas is the poster child for corruption on the Court.
Dennis McIntyre lying that Judge Juan Merchan, his hero for his Soviet style trial of Trump isn’t the poster child of naked, in your face, corruption. In Biden family fashion, Judge Merchan and his offspring raked in a cool 12.7 MILLION after he refused to recuse himself as New York judicial law REQUIRED.
A 90% increase in the Marchan family business whose product is providing political services to Dennis McIntyre’s fellow Soviet Democrat political animals.
“Democrats have paid the company owned by the politically active daughter of compromised Judge Juan Merchan at least $12.7 million in the first half of this year.
Federal election reports show Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, raked in the windfall between January 1 and July 1, 2024. Her father currently presides over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump in New York City.
The sum represents an 86 percent increase in Merchan’s receipts from the same time period in 2022. Democratic elected officials, candidates, and PACs reported $6.8 million in payments to Merchan between January 1 and July 1, 2022, the last general election cycle.
The boom in business coincided with Trump’s six-week trial in Merchan’s Manhattan courtroom, which began on April 15. Prior to the start of the jury trial, Merchan repeatedly sided with Bragg while demonstrating open hostility to the former president. Merchan imposed a gag order early on and then proceeded to deny nearly every defense motion.”
Cheap Fake American Dennis McIntyre lied that it wasn’t a Threat To Democracy (trademark) coup that forced The Big Guy out – he left voluntarily!
Historians of the presidency will find Biden did what all “statesmen” do–voluntarily stepping aside
“Former president Barack Obama used threats of the 25th Amendment as part of a pressure campaign to oust Joe Biden from the 2024 presidential race. Obama told Biden on the July 20th call that he had Kamala Harris’ approval to invoke the 25th Amendment because he was unable to fulfill the duties of the office of president. Obama’s call came with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer as well as Hakeem Jeffries.

Illiberal, progressive democrats show us again just how blind they are to unintended consequences. If there is any group of idealogues to one day find themselves in a wrong place at a wrong time, it is they. As they promote whatever values to the citizenry they think there are to term limits, they should put their money where their mouth is and bring about term limits for themselves as well.
One may believe that the Supreme Court is sometimes arguably viewed as a political arm for particular interests, but “reforming” it as Biden and Harris want would make it assuredly so. The Supreme Court works as it should. Nine rationalists given to keeping extremists from taking control.
Everyone would prefer term limits. One only needs to look at the average age of Congress members and their tenures. Mitch McConnell is clearly too old to be in office and so are many others. I would have no problem with strict term limits on Congressmen and senators. There should be a mandatory retirement age like they have with pilots.
Who gives a shit what you’re ok with?
LMAO yyou’re worth a good laugh every day.
George apparently won an election to be the spokesman for everybody: Everyone would prefer term limits. One only needs to look at the average age of Congress members and their tenures.
Identity politics and ageism all rolled into one: politicians must be selected on their age – not on what merit they display. Meritocracy is dead in the Soviet Democrat world.
Just as ethics about age didn’t show up in Soviet Democrat/Cheap Fake American George’s world while Dementia Joe could appear sentient while Commissar Pelosi was running the House. Certainly not when Ruth Bader Ginsberg was legislating from the SCOTUS bench, while we were being told she was the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsberg, power lifting in the gym.
But suddenly, and magically, it’s all about age.
Yes, we clearly need a lot more youthful sage voices like the Soviet Democrats Anti-Semitic Hamas Socialist Sisterhood. More “Jews are about the Benjamins, Baby” Ilhan Omar, Another Odd Communist, and Rashida “thinking of the Holocaust gives me a warm feeling” Tlaib.
I’ll take the meritocracy and mental acuity of somebody like Senator Chuck Grassley at age 90 in comparison to the youthful Soviet Democrats Anti-Semitic Hamas Socialist Sisterhood.
McConnell should be gone – not because of his age because he’s certainly sharp enough to wield power and sell out Republicans to Soviet Democrats over budgeting when he sees that as to his advantage. McConnell should have been gone over a decade ago because he ruthlessly buys power with money and threats.
Meritocracy, Cheap Fake American George, meritocracy. Not identity politics ageism.
You’re sayin glitchy Mitch deserves to remain in office? You see Mitch as sharp? The man keeps glitching and staring into space randomly. Ageism? Biden has been criticized for being too old. I take it you were defending him too. No?
Mitch is one glitch away from full mental failure. Why would he need to remain in office.
George deflected: You’re sayin glitchy Mitch deserves to remain in office? You see Mitch as sharp?
No, Cheap Fake American George. I said the opposite: McConnell should have been gone nearly two decades ago because he’s repeatedly shown Americans he’s an amoral power broker who does nothing other than work in his personal self interests. Because he’s almost certainly corrupt like The Family Cashier, The First Felon Crackhead Kid, in protecting and advancing ChiCom interests since he married his ChiCom wife and her parents gifted them with millions of dollars in gifts. Not because McConnell isn’t as mentally sharp as Chuck Schumer – who’s 75 years old.
But clearly, you’re claiming that ageism to promote the youthful Soviet Democrat Anti-Semitic Hajji Socialist Sisterhood, as the best for America. The youthful cerebral brain trust led by the 34 year old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is better than meritocracy.
Equally clearly, you’re here to pose and flex that youth like that is always going to be mentally and rationally better and sharper than Senator Chuck Grassley, nearly three times her age.
You’re a Cheap Fake American Fraud, George. As well as a racist.
How many times is “keeps”, svelaz George the spastic idiot? When was the last time it happened?
You just can’t stand next to the truth, can you?
You don’t think his handlers keep him away from the spotlight? When was the last time he held multiple press conferences. I’m sure they are limiting them to once a month to keep the glitches at a minimum. He should have been put out to pasture after the first one.
You are always “sure” when you talk out of your ass.
How many times, svelaz the pathological liar?
Biden reminds me of Diocletian toward the close of the Roman Empire, asking those if they remember him? A sorry shell of a man. So intent to persecute than persuade. There are good red/blue governors out there like Lamont in CT. Actually liked by both sides. The far left trashing 75 million Americans on the right will have devastating results if carried out. I am happy to be old.
How much more evidence does one need to conclude that the modern democratic party is a party of hard core leftists determined to eviscerate the Constitution and transform America into a one-party state. If they get their way, iIt will be even more dystopian than your average socialist dictatorship. There will be an elite class of politicians, entertainers, technology billionaires, and members of favored constituencies living in a bubble unaffected by the economic destruction that would surely result from their governance. And just like during COVID they will be exempted from the rules and regulations they imposed. The former middle class and professional class will be condemned to third world health care, draconian controls on life style and with few or no liberties left. Wealth confiscation will start with billionaires and then applied to the middle class who prudently saved as much as possible to have a decent retirement. And yet much of America has no clue as to where these thugs will take us. I never in my worst nightmare ever thought I would write these words or see the foundations of Western Civilization under relentless attack from within. But here we are.
Alan K,
Well said.
Although I would disagree partially with you on the billionaires aspect.
The one-party state would reward loyalist billionaires, and confiscate from any who dissented against them, or would make them “pay” a tax to maintain their status.
The middle class and the lower class would suffer the most.
They already are.
I don’t disagree with you at all. A catastrophe in the waiting regardless
Alan K,
Just read an article about how the US just hit the $35 Trillion mark on Monday. The House Budget Committee breaks it down like this:
$196 billion in new debt per month
$6.4 billion in new debt per day
$268 million in new debt per hour
$4.5 million in new debt per minute
$74,401 in new debt per second
I think the catastrophe is unfolding before our very eyes. And I dont think there is anyone who can stop it.
Invest in chickens, PMs, ammo, and your personal well being.
Don’t panic quite yet, it’s now suggested that treasuries be tax exempted to open up the private side market to investors. Current the Fed has to buy treasury notes to keep the economy rolling. Foreign countries no longer want them. Opening up the domestic market would generate about 3.5 Billion annually through reducing the debt burden at a loss of about 1.5 billion generated by taxes. That’s a 2 billion a year as the first step in debt reduction. Cut government by 30%, deport illegals costing us all, 30% jobs opening up for the government jobs lost, and build the wall saving billions in border control. Dearh penalty for heroin, fentanyl and narcotics traffickers. Boom, America saved!
“Americans Thankful That Socialists Rigging Elections Only Happens In Venezuela”
https://babylonbee.com/news/americans-thankful-that-socialists-rigging-elections-only-happens-in-venezuela
“Oh, yeah, it’s absolutely tragic what’s going on down there,” said Steve McGannon, an American citizen. “I’m so glad we live in a country where socialists would never dare to steal elections. I mean, imagine if one of our political parties were to harvest ballots, insist on non-citizens voting, use underhanded methods to secure an election, and brand anyone questioning voting integrity an “extremist conspiracy theorist,” all in the name of safe and secure elections. I’m so glad that sort of thing only happens in countries like Venezuela — could never be the US, am I right?”
Postscript: At publishing time, McGannon had been arrested and imprisoned — without trial, which is the latest “democratic” trend in the US — for “hate speech via sarcasm.”
AOC called for capital punishment for McGannon while trying to round up a drunken posse to hunt down washed up comedian Carrot Top. And the publishers of The Babylon Bee haven’t been seen since last Sunday.
We have the 1619 project, and others. 1776 and 2025 projects come to mind together with others without numbered names*. For the 2024 campaign, Harris, the Media, and Big Tech, advocate the 1984 project, where George Orwell’s book has become an instruction manual – not a grim futurist novel about totalitarian governance.

The irony is that the president calling for term limits for SCOTUS has spent 50 years in elected office. He sure didn’t term limit himself. While Doc Holliday’s hypocrisy could only go “so far,” Biden’s is limitless.
The removal of immunity was another one! Yeah, Bribem really put that one in there, although he knows he’ll be dead of old age before ever being convicted for any of his crimes.
He did limit himself by declining to run for re-election.
I don’t think he declined to run sammy, he was forced out.
Sammy loves his alternate realities
A common problem amongst the Party of open mouth droolers.
Only after the party turned on him in a soft coup and forced him out.
Biden is driving a stake in far far left field.
It’s now a goal for the left to achieve.
Democrat values flip around like a windsock caught in a twister.
Democrats do not have principles.
I was against abortion, gay marriage, and transgenderism until I was for it.

“They/Their” complete lack of self-awareness is perhaps their only redeeming value, not to mention double-standards being the only standards they know to practice.
Yawn…..
Get real. This is nothing more than a simple simultaneous act of diversion and pacification. This low probability of success action gains cheaply purchased headlines that takes attention away from the dubious circumstances surrounding Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race, his legal woes, his failing foreign policies and the question of his competency. At the same time, the same action throws a bone to his Democratic Party faction that screams for constitutional changes in order to secure power.
We may be living in an age of rage, but call anything modern dems do what it is, at this point, without exception – the work of a fascist regime. They are transparent alright, but only in their malevolence. Absurd. The Clinton/Obama/Pelosi DNC . . . there just aren’t words anymore.
58,150 Americans died fighting communism in SE Asia. When asked at that time a common reply was that they if we fail to stop it there, we will be fighting it here. Roughly 50 years, they were right. This election will decide who we are as a free Nation.
Trump/Vance are the only candidates that are capable to get this done!
Is the current results of the Maduro elections a harbinger of what citizens of the United States can expect in November?
