Former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta spoke with popular podcaster Jennifer Welch, discussing the plans for radical changes after a Democratic takeover this year. Like many Democratic figures, they said that the expansion of the Supreme Court is obvious. The expansion is essential to clear away any restraints on a radical agenda that will include the trial of a host of conservatives, from Trump to the young former DOGE employee who was injured when he came to the rescue of a woman in a carjacking in Washington, D.C.
What was most notable in the interview was the priority of expanding the Supreme Court. Figures like Eric Holder have expressly stated that packing the Supreme Court with a liberal majority will be the priority after any Democratic takeover.
This has long been the plan among far-left figures, but it is now being embraced by establishment figures as essential to securing a radical agenda to achieve lasting power.
Years ago, Harvard professor Michael Klarman laid out a radical agenda to change the system to guarantee Republicans “will never win another election.” However, he warned that “the Supreme Court could strike down everything I just described.” Therefore, the court must be packed in advance to allow these changes to occur.
Recently, Democratic strategist James Carville laid out the step-by-step process of how the pack-to-power plan would work.
“I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen,” he said. “A Democrat is going to be elected in 2028. You know that. I know that. The Democratic president is going to announce a special transition advisory committee on the reform of the Supreme Court. They’re going to recommend that the number of Supreme Court justices go from nine to 13. That’s going to happen, people.”
Acosta and Welch, however, added a Jacobin touch by demanding trials for a wide range of conservative figures — a call that has been echoed by Democratic members promising impeachments and investigations.
Welch, who appears to be auditioning for the role of Madame Lafarge, insisted:
“The blue tsunami means that Congress is going to haul Elon Musk, ‘Big Balls,’ and a bunch of other people’s a– in front and say, ‘What crimes did you commit?’ And it’s going to get really serious. And the same with Trump because I believe, and this is just my opinion, that Trump and all of the bottom-feeding morons surrounding him and Elon Musk and all the bottom feeding clinger-onners that surround him, I think they commit crimes every day.”
In my forthcoming book, Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution, I discuss how elected officials often try to enlist mobs to advance their political agendas — only to be consumed by the unrest they helped fuel. This yielding to a “mobocracy” was one of the critical dangers that the Framers sought to deter through protections against majoritarian tyranny.
What is most notable is the warning to establishment figures who are dismissed as “integrity Democrats” who might be squeamish about doing the things that must be done to political opponents. As always, Welch was the face of unrequited rage:
“And I think to reconcile all of this is going to take hardcore — not ‘integrity Democrats – ‘F–k you Democrats’ … ‘F–k you for f–king over our country.’ We are serious about this. We are prosecuting. We’re going to uncover every document, every phone call, everything you did. We will be relentless about it. And that’s the mindset they’ve got to have because I think the electorate is going from, ‘We’ve got to get him out, but also we want accountability.’”
With “integrity Democrats” out of the way, the left will be able to change the system to guarantee not just a radical agenda but permanent power, as explained by Klarman. It is a chilling and ironic prospect on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Jonathan Turley is a law professor and the author of the forthcoming “Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution,” which will be released on Feb. 3 as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
“I discuss how elected officials often try to enlist mobs to advance their political agendas”
Ahh, the irony. Trump’s mob energized his base and he was re-elected President after sitting on his hands and watching the wildfire of pandemic spread uncontrolled. One big attack on democracy and all was well with the MAGOG followers.
Short of culling the population (paging Bill Gates) there was little that could have been done to control the spread of Prof Baric’s frankenvirus.
Masks didn’t work
Vax didn’t work
6 ft space didn’t work
It might have been made worse by discouraging herd immunity in those with low risk of negative outcomes.
And FYI, Jan 6 was not an attack on democracy or an insurrection, it was a protest with some riot outbreaks.
An armed insurrection of that size could not have been stopped by Capitol Police or National Guard, they would have been mostly killed by an armed mob with those numbers.
IMHO, the Jan 6 bunch were orders of magnitude more civilized and less violent than the BLM and Antifa crazies were during the Summer of Love.
Do you actually believe those talking points that you parrot?
Trump, and any scientist worth his salt, told you that the virus must be allowed to wash over the population and ultimately self-destruct.
Truth be known, only the very young and old and those with comorbidities were vulnerable.
The truth was too hard to bear, and all the idiots complained, and then the communists exploited that political “advantage” into mass hysteria.
Measles did not self-destruct. Neither did polio. Nor did smallpox. Or any of the hundreds of other viral diseases.
Masks weren’t used. Spacing wasn’t used. The vaccine wasn’t available during the time when masks and spacing would have slowed the spread.
I recall people who said seat belts didn’t work, so they did not wear seat belts. Same stupidity.
Herd immunity makes certain that the entire herd gets the disease by spreading it to every member and killing the ones not strong enough to survive. It only works when the pathogen is stable and not mutating.
The old and the immune compromised, such as organ transplant recipients remain susceptible. We can see the effect of ignoring medical advice with the multiple measles outbreaks due to the lack of herd immunity via vaccination.
The US suffered a higher rate of deaths from covid than any other developed nation did.
I saw an explanation of the one study showing ivermectin was beneficial. It turned out the population is was helpful with had a high incidence of parasites that caused their immune systems to be weaker. So, if you already have a bunch of intestinal worms that are making you sick, then ivermectin can help with not making you weaker and susceptible to getting even more ill from covid. If one is not infested with intestinal worms, then it won’t improve your chances.
You can follow the advice of Trump and inject bleach or shove a cell disrupting UV source into your lungs and give a little sunburn to the delicate tissues there, but I would advise against following that advice.
Who gathered the people to go to the Capitol on Jan 6th and “FIGHT LIKE HELL OR YOU WON”T HAVE A COUNTRY ANYMORE!”? Had there been a continuous mob of protesters starting Nov 7th? Were there mass protests at state capitals or applications for recounts? There were a bunch of unfounded lawsuits that were tossed due to lack of evidence or lack of standing. Over 60 failed suits as I recall from the Trump campaign and other Trump campaign supporters. I believe a few Trump related attorneys ended up disbarred for making false statements.
@Anonymous
And of course, by ‘mobs’, you mean legitimate voters, your *actual* neighbors, who at this point are pretty much 100% peaceful by comparison. You are pathetic. That you do this for money also tells me that you are not well.
Are “liberal influencers” communist “political officers,” “community organizers,” or what?
Trump has disappointed all the would-by furry Keyboard Commando warriors who pledged to die fighting while defending Greenland from invading Americans by telling the world he has no plans to invade. That leaves us with what endeared Obama to the masses by declaring “this is a teachable moment”.
Denmark and Europe have known all the way back to WWII what their vulnerability is that they will not admit to, and will not and cannot defend, the GIUK Gap.
Anybody other than the USA have a plan to actually prepare to defend Greenland/the GIUK Gap? Or is the European Greenland defense strategy predictably socialist – expect the Americans to bleed and die to carry your load:
“Let’s leave any defense up to the Americans instead of spending our money to have the defense forces to do it ourselves.
They’ll have to do a massive deployment from bases outside Greenland after we’re under attack to take care of it for us. They will take enormous casualties to do that as responders instead of being prepared defenders already in place, because we didn’t want them to be on Greenland.
But that’s American blood (overwhelmingly white Republican blood), not our elite European socialist blood”.
Educate yourselves, Socialists/Marxists Of The World:
Why the GIUK Gap Matters
The GIUK Gap—short for Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom Gap—is far more than a mere stretch of ocean; it’s a pivotal maritime chokepoint and the indispensable gateway between the increasingly contested Arctic and the vast Atlantic, serving as the linchpin for global naval dominance in an era of intensifying great power rivalries. America’s increasingly deep concern stems from Greenland’s position overlooking the GIUK Gap—any Russian or Communist Chinese foothold there could enable rivals to bypass or threaten NATO’s Atlantic lifeline.
Historically, the GIUK Gap has been a focal point for NATO’s defense strategy following it’s initial critical strategic importance to the Allies during WWII.
Following the GIUK Gap’s importance in defeating Germany during WWII, the gap was recognized as a continuing strategic line of defense against Soviet naval forces attempting to access the Atlantic Ocean. NATO’s ability to control this maritime corridor was essential for ensuring the security of Western Europe and NORTH AMERICA.
Control here isn’t optional—it’s existential for NATO’s survival, as this corridor dictates the flow of military reinforcements, safeguards trillions in transatlantic trade, and shields critical undersea infrastructure from hybrid threats that could plunge the West into chaos.
Today, amid the last 25 years of Putin’s revanchist aggression and Communist China’s Arctic ambitions, the GIUK Gap has roared back as NATO’s foremost maritime flashpoint.
The Ukraine War, Communist China expansion in the South China Sea, infringement on Japan’s sovereign waters and operations immediately around Taiwan signal the new age of A2/AD. Strategic operations where adversaries deploy anti-access/area denial bubbles to deny Western forces entry and project power asymmetrically.
Russia’s Northern Fleet, headquartered on the Kola Peninsula, exploits the Gap as its primary breakout route into the Atlantic, deploying stealthy Yasen- and Borei-class submarines armed with Kalibr cruise missiles and Zircon hypersonics to patrol at Cold War intensities, threatening to interdict NATO supply lines and strike European targets from afar.
This resurgence aligns with Moscow’s Arctic militarization—reopened bases, S-400 air defenses, and massive exercises—bolstered by melting ice that erodes natural barriers, enabling hybrid operations like cable sabotage via vessels such as the Yantar, which could sever over 95% of global internet traffic flowing through undersea cables here.
Compounding the threat, China’s “near-Arctic state” posturing injects a multipolar dimension, with Beijing eyeing the Gap for resource grabs and dual-use footholds, collaborating with Russia on submarine patrols and infrastructure that challenge NATO’s domain awareness.
Greenland, astride the Gap, amplifies this vulnerability: its radar arrays and satellite stations are essential for early-warning missile tracking, space domain awareness, and secure communications.
YET DENMARK AND EUROPE’S NEGLECT LEAVES DENMARK AND THE GAP EXPOSED TO RUSSIAN ENCROACHMENT AND CHINESE INFLUENCE, A STRATEGIC BLIND SPOT THAT THREATENS NORTH AMERICA AS WELL AS TRANSATLANTIC COHESION.
In a conflict scenario, losing the Gap would be catastrophic—delaying U.S. reinforcements by weeks, exposing sea lines of communication (SLOCs) that carry 90% of global trade, and risking blackouts in energy flows from North Sea platforms or Arctic reserves, with economic fallout in the trillions.
As our American Democratic Marxists/communists/socialists like to say “Go educate yourself”.
Then come back and claim again that Greenland isn’t all that important to the USA – or the European countries doing nothing about this strategic threat other than virtue signalling by dropping their panties in outrage.
Shock and Awe to counter the moronic left:
The Senate could change the procedure in the nomination process, voting on allowing the President without further consideration to increase the size of Supreme Court from the current 9 members to let’s say 27, picking the new supreme members from the existing district level judges who have already been qualified which currently number 677 possibilities. This action would forestall any blue slipping or filibuster. Future qualified candidates then would come from the District level that would have been qualified by the Senate.
Opponents to the current make-up of the judicial hierarchy have stated their future battle plans to overthrow the system, action(s) must be taken to counter the battle plans and assure sound government bases on our Constitution and Laws. The very first action the senate should undertake is the elimination of the Filibuster, it’s nothing more than a gentlemen’s agreement, why would anyone agree with the two-faced monster of the American leftists Democratic Party.

Wow, it seems Trump is intent on insulting every ally and potential trade partner at Davos. He can’t even get Greenland right after calling it Iceland multiple times.
Trump is showing the world just how big of a moron he is. So embarrassing. His whiny ranting and claims that the U.S. alone can keep other countries propped up. Holy Toledo batman Trump has gone off his rocker. As I’ve said before, his dementia and constant ranting is getting worse. It’s looking more and more likely he won’t last the whole term.
China is looking like a better more stable partner on the world stage.
@X
You are likely the most bored and privileged person I have ever encountered, and yes, you have been haunting this blog for years under different names, everyone knows it. By all means, carry on, but know you are bloviating into the abyss. Imagine what else you could accomplish in those moments, if you cared a whit about anyone but yourself.
“China is looking like a better more stable partner on the world stage.”
Move to Hong Kong. Openly criticize the Chicoms. See what happens.
(I’ll pay for your one-way flight.)
So, why aren’t you recommending Congress pass law limiting SCOTUS to 9 Justices? That would make it harder for a future Congress to diddle around.
I frankly think court packing overestimates the tendency of Justices to decide cases based on political leaning.
They have to adhere to the law as passed by Congress, and interpret it to fit the case facts.
Also, Congress can countermand Supreme Court decisions with new legislation. That’s how Native Americans finally won U.S. Citizenship (1924). That’s how the freed slaves obtained their US Citizenship (1866). In both cases, Congress overturned prior SCOTUS decisions ruling that these groups were NOT entitled to Citizenship.
I would support a system of forced retirement, where each President gets at least 1 appointment.
That’s a fair question. A statute fixing the Court at nine justices wouldn’t prevent future manipulation, because a later Congress could simply repeal it. If the goal is stability, that requires a constitutional amendment, not ordinary legislation. You’re also right that court-packing overestimates partisan predictability; life tenure exists precisely to insulate justices from political pressure, and many don’t vote as expected. Congress can respond to Supreme Court decisions by changing statutes or, in constitutional cases, by amending the Constitution, not by simply overruling the Court. Term limits or forced retirement are serious ideas, but they too likely require an amendment and must be justified by principle, not desired outcomes.
Life tenure is not insulating the court from political pressure or expectation. Not when organizations like the Federalist society or the Heritage foundation pick which justices the President can choose from.
Expanding the court would blunt any ideological majority by making it a requirement to have an equal ideological division on the court. No expectation that any ideological majority would guarantee the outcome one or another party wants.
X, explain KBJ to me then please.
“Not when organizations like . . .”
Why is that wrong? But okay when the organization is a Leftist one, like “Demand Justice?”
pbinca says: I frankly think court packing overestimates the tendency of Justices to decide cases based on political leaning.
But the existing courts have repeatedly been full of Justices who, like you, seek to deprive Americans of their Second Amendment rights, despite it being the only Amendment felt sufficiently important to include the words “shall not be infringed”. Your view of the Second Amendment and the Justices who hold it is 100% California Democrat political platform. And judicial bias, not “leaning”.
People like you cannot be given any power to decide what are and what are not Americans’ constitutional rights.
Oh, stop it. I’ve argued for family-based supervision of young, male gun owners. You think that’s a radical suspension of 2A rights? In opposing my nuanced position, what you are arguing for is allowing the immature, the mentally deranged, the druggie, the lifestyle criminal to have access to lethal weapons (i.e., no family member keeping track of their young).
Gun ownership is not an unqualified right. Machine guns, RPGs. Felons. Children.
The Constitution allows a balancing of individual gun rights with public safety from crazed misfits. If we believe there’s a right to life (the Preamble explaining why we have govt.) and every American life is equally valued, then measures aimed at preventing senseless murders are not an abridgment of 2A.
There are responsibilities that accompany every freedom. Those who want zero responsibility, only unfettered freedom, deserve no freedom whatsoever. That’s how civilization got here. That’s how it works.
. Hey, slow down babalouis aka pbinca. I owned guns as a child. If the Constitution said people shall…bear arms my pappy thought it was an American imperative.
If guns aren’t allowed for felons or children then clearly the right has been infringed. We need a society where everyone who wants a gun can buy one without any interfering background checks. The society also needs to stop infringing on the right to open carry or concealed carry fully automatic weapons with body-armor piercing rounds and silencer/suppressors without any additional cost. We need to eliminate all the licensing of gun dealers which also infringe on the right to bear arms. There also needs to be an elimination of any laws concerning when and where a gun can be carried or fired. The Supreme Court should be allowed to see a gallery of gun carrying citizens who may wish to have their concerns addressed.
How ironic that the weenies who spent high school wondering about the thoughts of pleasant girls created technologies that made it impossible for anyone to escape the thoughts of the most unpleasant of them. Say what you want about the horrific consequences of the Manhattan Project, but I believe giving voice to millions of estrogen-enraged lunatics has created a chain-reaction with far more destructive power.
Fail
Speaking of “estrogen-enraged lunatics”, it will be fun to watch Noem the Dome (in reference to the stupid, big cowgirl hat) get impeached after the Democratic takeover.
. Senators Murray and Collins- a real brain trust?
Crockett, Cortez, Presley, Tlaib, Omar, Watters, Pelosi, makes me proud.
Then there’s Walz, Ellison, Jeffries, Schumer, Sanders, Booker, Johnson, and more who can give the ladies a run-off.
Public officials are mediocre to criminal and the people would be better off without them? That’s probably true. 😏
And of course DJT is the ultimate “testostetone-enraged lunatic” who put “estrogen-enraged lunatic” Pam Blondi in charge of the DOJ. His old pal Maxwell is another “estrogen-enraged lunatic” who serviced a famous actor, possibly on her knees. 😉
Such is the rumor, gossip.
Yeah and the last AG did a bang up job. Putting little olds ladies away.
Try harder.
..We wish DJT would just keep his mouth shut at times with his personal feelings.. but as a President.. he is doing exactly what WE THE PEOPLE elected him to do… the MSM refuses to point out that Tom Homan was Decorated with a Medal by President Obama for doing Exactly then what he is doing to-day.. without the Interference & Social Media Propaganda from the Radical Left Wing mobsters and their street mobs…(mostly paid for by all the s0r0s funded groups…) THEY are the ones responsible throwing Good in harm’s way…. THEY also hype up what happened to her.. which was no different than what happened to Ashli Babbitt… when they were Silent….. and last but not least, they quote Their carefully honed ‘Approval’ ratings, which we know are FAKE. What we need is to see more ‘Balls’ from the GOP & conservative groups pointing this stuff out to the public…..
I do not recall any time under Obama that Blackhawk helicopters were used to drop ICE goons onto the roof of an apartment building at 3am to roust the American citizens there and put them handcuffed into police vehicles wearing only what they could grab in the seconds after their doors were kicked in.
I recall the time when Chicago police used a helo to drop a bomb on a apt building full of gang members…
It went up in flames.
Short memory.
Rabble:
Maybe because before Obama, ICE operations were mainly limited to border states, and given at the time those were red states, MSM never covered it. It’s only because they’ve been forced to act in your blue cities that you are throwing such a tizzy.
The tactics have never changed, only the scope and location.
It’s like I’ve always said: Orwell’s 1984 which he wrote as a warning is used by Democrats and the left as a handbook and operations manual.
It is not a handbook or a manual, its a novel.
Along with that tome of communist Democrat strategy, written by Clinton and Obama’s favorite Chicago communist and mentor Saul Alinsky “Rules For Radicals”. They learned his lessons well (and while a grad student Hillary gave him some of that Kamala Harris pre-politics action).
Does it matter what you say?
For as much as the Media had made a big deal about the President to have or not to have the power to fire a Federal Reserve Governor,
there was little mention of the Supreme Court ’emergency’ hearing today Lisa Cook v. Donald Trump, 25-5326, (D.C. Cir.).
Seems the issue is not ‘productive’ enough (ripe) for the Leftist Media to take advantage of it, yet.
The Media’s initial up roar circled around Lisa Cook’s ethnicity and gender of that being fired by DJT. Then the issues of termination of Governors Board members to influence the Fed interest rates. Left-Media is waiting for the Ah-Ha moment of the SCOTUS decision to spin another attack on the Presidency.
The Media is so Shameful.
. Ms Cook seems to lack integrity. There’s cause.
Even though I am not thrilled with some of what DJT does, and especially says, this column reminds me of why a continued status quo is much preferable to letting the Dem loons back into control of Congress.
..YES, we wish DJT would just keep his mouth shut at times with his personal feelings.. but as a President.. he is doing exactly what WE THE PEOPLE elected him to do…
IMHO, your comment does reflect positively about YOU, THE PEOPLE.
gobbledygook …
That was helpful
Klaus
You mean, he/she/zit the person.
Splitting the 9th circuit, which needs doing, results in 14 circuit courts in total. One supreme court judge for each, plus the chief justice, means the supreme court ought to have 15 justices in total. Τhis isn’t so-called packing, but necessary in recognition of the growth of the population since 1891.
When one president gets to name FIVE Justices at one time it is PACKING THE COURT. Would you be ok with Trump getting to pick five more right now?
“Would you be ok with Trump getting to pick five more right now?”
Yes, as long as they are as rational and stable as Justice Thomas
OldFish — Thomas ought to be impeached and removed for las of Good Behavior.
OldFish — Thomas ought to be impeached and removed for lack of good conduct.
What did he do? Was it illegal? Did he break an oath?
You don’t like his views on the Constitution, and what makes it worse to most Democrats is that he is black and supposed to be part of the Democrat plantation.
@hullbobby
I actually always enjoy your input, but we are past the point of what you elucidate. If we don’t want bullets (and most of us don’t) then, yes, preemptive action is required. Is it faithful to principal? That is debatable, and we should do it. Is it necessary to avoid catastrophe? For now, yes, yes it is. Too many do not seem to really see the precipice we are currently standing on.
Trump named 3 of them already. Two of them back-to-back.
The Federalist Society is working to nominate a zygote so they can control the Supreme Court for 80 years.
So you wouldn’t mind trump appointing 6 new justices?
I do not support increasing the number of SC judges. We already use specialized federal courts to handle technical areas like patents and trade. We can expand that, or add similar courts for areas such as securities or national security, to reduce the Court’s workload. Expanding the Supreme Court risks inefficiency, internal politics, and diminished clarity in its decisions. Too many cooks destroy the broth.
S. Meyer — Right now now we have too many decisions rendered of the emergency docket.
Unacceptable.
Rabble:
something I wholeheartedly agree on. You can’t have months upon months of nothing but emergency cases. If the SC were able to have more justices (like you said for adjustments to population since *1869*), there could be smaller “emergency cases” dealt with by, say, 3 judges at a time, with a final appeal heard by the full.
Similar thing happened to my work. We needed to reduce the number of students awaiting instruction (military), so we started standing up more classes, qualified more instructors, and increased the size of the classes. Now, we don’t have awaitings in the 100’s, and we’re looking at actually cancelling a couple classes this year. Increase the workplace, reduce the load.
We have a lot of emergency decisions due to misuse of the court system, and also overload in situations where the Supreme Court lacks specific knowledge. As an example, security and exchange situations. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons to push Justice Bork onto the Court was, he had such knowledge.
Reduce the cases by adding more specialized Appellate Courts below and by inhibiting the need for all the emergency cases by reining in the lower courts. More justices do not lead to greater efficiency, but to more partisanship and less interaction between the players.
Dear Prof Turley,
It’s almost quaint-humorous that the Demo’s think there are going to be mid-term ‘elections’ in Nov. 2026, much less in 2028. The Democrats are determined wild-eyed optimists. .. if nothing else.
Trump has explicitly stated he’s done such a fabulous job, ‘there is no need for further elections’. No joke. The numbers are like nothing you’ve ever seen before.. . and that’s a long time.
If Trump continues to poll -30% net approval-rating, the Democrats would almost certainly win the Nov. 2026 mid-terms . ..and then all bets are off.
Lacking all conviction, the SCOTUS would then be left to impotently referee a perpetual Impeachment bare-knuckle-brawl between an abject Dysfunctional congress and the Executive Pied Pipper of Pennsylvania Ave. .. if you can’t impeach Trump, who can you impeach?
*of course, all this assumes we (ie. the world), can avoid economic collapse and the outbreak of global thermal nuclear war in Europe and the Mid-east Holy Lands. .. until then.
OK DG.
Now show us how the dems are polling.
You mentioned it, you show it then.
Look bellow bud
19% on a good day. .. they may be crazier than he is, if such a thing is possible, dusty.
The important thing is Trump can not lose the mid-term election, or control of a dysfunctional congress .. . or, as Turley suggests, ‘it’s going to get really serious’.
*actually, I was hoping some legal beagle around here would do something useful and explain this ruling to me .. . in an objective, unbiased way lol.
Judge refuses to appoint a Special Master to oversee the release of Epstein Files.. .
“In his opinion released Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer said the “questions raised by the Representatives and the victims are undeniably important and timely” and raise “raise legitimate concerns about whether DOJ is faithfully complying with federal law.”
However, the judge concluded he lacks jurisdiction to supervise the Justice Department’s compliance with the Epstein Act.” ~ story
Agreed, really (Epstein) files is a waste of time.
If Biden & his AG had any great stuff on Trump. it would have been released on day 1.
Epstein’s victims don’t see it that way.
Then you run the risk of showing them. So wait it out.
Releasing the Epstein files is not a waste of time for the victims.
..those are MSM ‘Approval Numbers..’ carefully honesd from targeted ppl…. They do not speak for WE THE PEOPLE
@dgsnowden
You are truly stupid.
It just seems that way to you, James.
*I’ve forgotten more than you know.
the plans for radical changes after a Democratic takeover this year. Like many Democratic figures, they said that the expansion of the Supreme Court is obvious.
It may be obvious, but even if there is a Dem takeover this year (i.e. next January) packing the court will be impossible because (1) Trump will veto it, or better yet (2) Trump will sign it and nominate four conservatives, who will of course not be confirmed, leaving the seats open. To do this they will not only have to win both houses but also the presidency, which means they have to wait at least until 2029.
. Common sense?
. Perhaps it’s a Viceocracy. The democrats are driven by vice and they have the murderers on their side.
There are no winners, only losers as the scorpion and frog story applies.
Carpe diem
While Trump was speaking to the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday about taking over Greenland, Bernd Lange, the chair of the European Parliament’s trade committee, confirmed that “the EU-US deal is on hold until further notice.”
“Our negotiating team just decided to suspend work on the legal implementation of a trade deal. Our sovereignty and territorial integrity are at stake. Business as usual is impossible.”
Sweden also announced that they are dumping US Treasuries, and hedging against the US dollar, betting that it will collapse.
If our econ was to collapse. Who who fund NATO…. OOPS!
The USA does not fund NATO. European NATO members fund their own national defense primarily through individual government budgets, not a centralized NATO fund. The main financial commitment is the agreed target to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense, which is not a payment to NATO but national spending on military capabilities. In 2024, European Allies and Canada collectively spent 2.02% of their combined GDP on defense, amounting to over $482 billion.
Selling treasuries will not cause an economic collapse.
And Greenland is not part of NATO or the EU.
You embarrass yourself.
WRONG.. Look at the EU countries and how much they fund their armed forces. Compared to the USA.
Another reason we have bases all over the place.
They want us there, so they can spent monies on other stuff. Free healthcare, free college and so on.
Gosh, it’s not like Alaska, the Virgin Islands, California, Louisiana and so much more weren’t purchased? What’s he thinking…the 60 thousand Greenlanders could make such a deal they could move….
Not to mention Manhattan.
Rabble:
Aw, jeez, and just a few hours later, NATO caved and have worked out negotiations on a deal.
womp womp. Guess you lose that talking point.
They should realize if they’re going to try a Communist purge they’re 700 million guns in circulation. NO will will not voluntarily surrender guns.
And the gov. has 2,000 nuclear devices that are in the hands of progressives.
I don’t know what to say except that the modern left and their globalist allies are insane, hellbent on destroying our Republic, every and any free place, and as evidenced by Spanberger, they will do it on day one, as permanently as possible, if they ever have majority power ever again. They are not hiding it.
I know that most people do not want what the eventuality of a caste society it would create if, and the levels of reticence are concerning. The hubris of the likes of Carville is absolutely sickening. Wake up, people, before it’s too late, we are hanging by a thread at this point.
@James
*if they had to live in it
Well said James. I understand the urgency behind calls to “wake up,” but I think that framing actually points to the deeper issue. What we’re facing isn’t just outrage or partisan overreach, it’s a loss of civic formation. People no longer clearly recognize the constitutional system they’re living in or the principles that secure their rights. That’s also why the push for institutional capture is so revealing. If an overwhelming majority of citizens truly supported abandoning the rule of law, none of this would be necessary. Power has to be engineered precisely because consent isn’t there. That realization is what led me to write my book, not to stir panic, but to help reconnect citizens with first principles before fear and permanence replace persuasion and self-government.
@OLLY
I do not disagree on any point, though I would add it is also a loss of the ability to employ foresight into what that civil deficit will ultimately lead to, even for many older, in theory, ‘educated’ people, and as evidenced by the Biden years, it could be quite quick. And currently, at least, this is only getting worse downstream, generationally.
I think that’s exactly right James. What’s been lost isn’t just civic knowledge, but the capacity for foresight, the ability to trace today’s rationalizations to tomorrow’s consequences. That failure shows up even among older, credentialed people who should know better. History shows decline doesn’t move slowly once restraint erodes; it accelerates.
The period of salutary neglect, roughly from the late 1600s through 1763, proves the opposite dynamic is possible. During that time, each generation of colonists built on the last, internalizing self-government so deeply that incremental assaults on their rights were immediately recognized once British policy shifted. What we’re witnessing now is the reversal of that process. Instead of principles compounding across generations, they’re being diluted and forgotten, leaving people unable to recognize encroachments as encroachments at all.

Nothing to say, but, ‘Yup!’. May we heed the signs.

“They” can only do what we allow them to do. When people have had enough they show up to vote, once they figure out that doesn’t work anymore, they turn up to fight. No American could want to live in serfdom after being free. These lunatics are crazy, they will start something that will end them.
. True, eightball. Scorpion and froggy went a courtin’.
Carville has always looked like a snake. Now he has turned into one. He wants to be Lord Voldemort.
There already is a caste society. There are the 1% and everyone else. As to “destroying our Republic” might want to include some details on that. Destruction would tear down every bridge and tear up every road. No more electricity, water processing, food, or fuel. Cities would be leveled and preppers would be found and killed for their stashes of guns and ammunition. One guy with 50 guns in a house who ever steps outside becomes one dead guy with no guns.
At some point a new leader emerges and soon death camps are formed to remove the excess population.
Is that the sort of destruction you mean?
Or is it more making it illegal to “roll coal” on electric vehicle drivers or otherwise make modifications to vehicles for the sole purpose of assault?
When the RAF and Chain Home radar beat the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain in WWll, Winston Churchill said “never have so many owed so much to so few”. Let’s keep that top of mind as we grapple with these issues. When we think about what the Framers built.
Its 2026, Why look backwards?
