Various Democrats have been openly discussing their plans after retaking power to change the system so they never lose power again. Democratic strategist James Carville has been one of the most vocal and returned to the subject this week in laying out how they will make D.C. and Puerto Rico states and pack the Supreme Court with a liberal majority.
On his podcast with Al Hunt, Carville explained, “If the Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, I think on day one, they should make Puerto Rico [and] D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13. F— it. Eat our dust.”
Notably, this week, New Jersey just elected a radical new member, Analilia Mejia, who ran on packing the Court and other radical agenda items. While some of us have written about the expansion of the Court, these politicians and pundits are pushing for the packing, not just gradual expanding, of the Court.
However, Carville (curiously on a national podcast) seriously suggested that Democrats should keep the plan quiet: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”
Call it the Nike School of Constitutional Law.
The need of the left to pack the Supreme Court is obvious. Many of the proposals coming from the left are clearly unconstitutional. You will need a partisan majority to make the political changes that these figures hope will give the Democrats a lock on power for years to come.
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.
Likewise, Carville previously explained how this process of how the pack-to-power plan would work:
“I’m going to tell you what’s going to happen. 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.”
The push for court packing and war chests on the left remains unchanged despite conservatives on the Court ruling against the Administration on major cases. Carville and others cannot claim that the conservative justices are robotically voting with the Administration, but it does not matter. They want a Court that will consistently uphold the changes being planned by Democratic strategists.
The fact that these changes would come after the 250th anniversary of the most successful democratic system in history is a crushing irony. However, it is notable that the Democrats want Congress and the courts to push through these changes, not the public. The public remains opposed to court packing and making D.C. a state. That is why Carville wants candidates to keep quiet on the plan and run, like Virginia’s Abigail Spanberger, as faux moderates. Then, as in Virginia, they can move to fundamentally change districts and rules to guarantee their hold on power.
It is a mentality summed up by NEA President Becky Pringle:
The question is whether rage politics can convince a people to destroy the very democratic system that has brought centuries of stability and prosperity.
CDC Largely Destroyed
Eighty per cent of the top director positions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stand vacant, with no permanent leader to drive policies affecting the health of millions of Americans. No one is in place to coordinate the agency’s day-to-day work fighting infectious disease, combatting heart conditions or screening for cancer.
Since Donald Trump appointed Robert Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, one in five CDC employees, at least 2,400, have been fired or have quit. An additional 300 staff members remain stripped of their duties on full pay, more than a year after they were placed on administrative leave.
This raft of vacant posts among the CDC’s highest officials is exacerbating the disruption. Problems start at the pinnacle of the agency, with the position of director currently having been unfilled for the past eight months.

The CDC had been the world’s most esteemed health agency. But because Dr Fauci had the guts to contradict Donald Trump, the agency must be destroyed. This CDC is an example of why America needs to drive wooden stake through the MAGA movement.
Why hasn’t he been assassinated yet ???
Just goes to show that Progressives HATE America, and like Hussain Obama, want to fundamentally transform it into a Progressive Ghetto utopia!!!!
Serpent Head has always been good for a laugh.
Isn’t this what used to be called an insurrection?
carvell was a turd when I knew him and he is still a shit bird now. Type in Plt 152 MCRD San Diego 1960’s and you will find he was a member. He was always called out by our Plt Commander.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. — Hunter S. Thompson
Well, the going got weird and the weird are mostly on the Left. Whatever Left means these days.
Mr Turley – these people are dangerous and I mean in a way like I’ve never seen them behave and I’m in my 50’s. Their behavior is like that of someone who is mentally deranged but also smart enough to somewhat hide that derangement; like a sociopath. The political Left today is lead by a number of sociopaths and psychopaths and it very much concerns me b/c the Republican party can’t be counted on for help. They’ve been a spineless cowardly do-nothing party for generations. It wasn’t until Trump/MAGA forced those bums to do something for once.
Even as of today Senators like Kennedy act like as if were; dealing with the Clinton era Democrat party. He calls them “friends” and “respects” them and says this publicly while not one Democrat he calls friend would hesitate to stab Kennedy in the back if it meant regaining power. The Republican party is filed with old fools like Kennedy who talk the talk but never walk the walk. When was the last time Kennedy did anything about something the Democrats di when they were in power aside form talking about it? The rest of the party consist oif #Uniparty traitors like Thine and Mike Johnson, RINOS, opportunists like Lyndsey Graham and the spineless cowards who are more afraid of the media saying something mean about them then they are with what their constituents think of the job they are doing,.
The party has to be purged entirely and we must disallow it from have but just so many lawyers and wealthy/politically connected individuals as those are the ones who lead us towards corruption. The party needs to have as its majority, average every day people who have net worth’s that are less than 7 digits and who actually have to budget in their own personal lives. We need more Rand Paul’s, Lauren Boeberts, Thomas Massies and the like. Regardless of where you stand about these people they are consistent with their take and do not bend to party leadership pressure. Massie is particularly despised b/c despite being a Trump supporter he’s against some things and Trump has now adopted a “You are with me on everything or you are against me” mentality which is both dangerous and stupid. Trump is on the path to destroying his own legacy because of his inability to admit being wrong EVER.
If we want any hope to fix things, the party leadership must be purged and strict term limits enacted so NO ONE can make a life long career out of serving in Congress. They also need to start arresting, charging and prosecuting any liberal like Carvelle here who talks this kind of crazy and highly questionable content. Trumps more interested in replacing Thomas Massie then putting fear back into people like Carville; another foolish Trump action.
Trump Is Toxic In Europe.. Even To Nationalists!
Across Britain and Europe, nationalist leaders are retreating from Trump after having hailed his second term as something of a second coming for populists. Fifteen months in, the symbiosis between Trump’s MAGA and Europe’s nationalist parties has reached a potential breaking point.
Pro-Trump politicians from London to Rome — who were already squirming around the Europe-bashing president’s punitive tariffs, threats to seize Greenland and surprise attack on Iran — have found starker red lines in his conduct of the war, genocidal rhetoric and verbal broadside against Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff.
Trump’s unfavorability ratings are stratospheric across the continent as of March surveys by YouGov: 78 percent unfavorable in France, 86 percent in Germany, 80 percent in Italy. Across the continent, 73 percent of Europeans viewed Trump as a threat to peace and security in Europe, according to YouGov polling last summer, just nine percentage points behind Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 82 percent.
Trump’s toxicity is particularly sharp in Britain, where more than 80 percent of residents view him unfavorably, according to YouGov. Conservative leaders are backpedaling.

Turley decries the schemes of Democrats to delete Trump’s impact on the country. But the truth is that Trump’s impact on U.S. prestige abroad has been devastating. It could take a generation for the world to forget what a pariah Trump was. Therefore Democrats would be well-justified in making sure this nightmare never reoccurs.
“But the truth is that Trump’s impact on U.S. prestige abroad has been devastating”
devastating to those euro-bureucrats you mean? oh no!
“But the truth is”…you do not know what is true. Everyone is very impressed a president is actually, finally putting America first. It’s amazing!
and you are here only because of all that USA winning. Sorry! We are busy making America great so no time for care about our fair-weather friends so far away.
Trump is putting his buddies first. And no one else! Everyone who’s not rich is paying much higher gasoline prices.
Plant gardens in vacant lots.
She’s right, we aren’t going back. That’s right , mam, no one will ever see the United States again, mam. It’s somewhere between here and heaven. 😢
No the truth is that both lunatic Liberals and TDS victims of all 5 stages are incapable of dealing with relaity so they imagine this alternative relaity where Trump is wearing a Nazi uniform and speaking in German while all around him call him Hitler That way their minds can better handle teh fact that Hillary and Kamilla both lost and in one case it was not just both the electoral college and the popular vote but by so many votes that it was clear that Trump was given an agenda; an agenda that is dangerous to future Democrat pollical power. Biden spent 4 years importing as many future Democrat voters as he could and now Trump is getting rid of them. W/O the illegals the Democrats can’t re-take power.
Trump has never had all of his supporters %100 in line with his beliefs and stances. The Democrats are unable to process this b/c in their world you do whatever party leadership say and you do not question why and so they can’t comprehend how Trump can have soo much support and yet also get criticism from his base on select things like the covid vaccine which is still not winning and now this war.
Yep, make sure that 1200 Israelis aren’t slaughtered and hostages taken , twin towers isn’t demolished again . You dems can do that because as this lovely woman said , we want all the things. Destroying Israel and the US will get you all the things, anon. Nonsense free speech, due process , borders, aren’t needed. Old fashioned…

EU surrendered some time back. They’ve adapted by no longer existing.
Is it lost on anyone that the “conservatives” (leave aside the Israel war, for a second) are barely that? If “Republicans” even broached the idea of court packing – cutting states up to gain Senate power forever – et.al. the MEDIA/INTEL community would just howl. Why do you think Spamberger got the kit gloves? The media knew because they operate as the outward facing arm of the malevolent intel hacks in DC. And they ALSO know things – we probably would panic immediately over, if the common human knew them.
We probably don’t have much time left as “United” country. These wild agendas are being ran because there are other issues coming that humanity can’t (and won’t) be able to handle.
So the technotards are going run their agenda – to control everything they can before the “shite” doth hit the fan hard. (Some people are aware of changes to our world – not by man’s arrogance, which is renowned – but by the SUN & Earth’s magnetic core. We sheeple are not going to make it through – if that is what causing these politicians and authoritarians (worldwide) to seize all sorts of power and crash things, to garner enough control over us from SPACE and on the EARTH, in the wild hope they can make it through – while billions perish.
Now, I don’t have any faith in us resisting this stupid – whether driven by a real threat or by their creation of fear (climate change narrative will mask the REALITY – so they can seize power).
They will be specific no-go, no-movement INTO zones (for the elite to control) while the rest of us will get GOT by radiation and famine.
SO seize all those powers Carville, you are TOO OLD to enjoy the fruits of your political malevolence. The Earth just might decide to shake billions off it – not due to human hubris – but due to forces we can’t even begin to harness or stop. WONDER IF: God decided we finally get GOT? For those that don’t believe that- do you believe in Dinosaurs? Did that mass extinction event occur or not?
No matter how smart and creative and well informed you are, the Earth has its own clock, its own cycles, and you aren’t going to stop it.
The wokers believe that you can’t have a decent society in which some people can make more money, MUCH more money than others. For example, the wealthiest can live in unfathomable luxury, while the average boob has to bust her butt just to keep from living on the street.
PROBLEM: no system is perfect. Never will be. Some of the wealthiest are greedy animals. Some are generous beyond belief. Some can thrive on very little and live lives of generosity and kindness to whomever, while others rob banks, feed on hatred, are constantly miserable.
Take the incentive away to earn your own money and to keep it and invest it how you decide, destroys economies, nations and swallows up the poor in terrible poverty. Based on our own willingness to bust behind, is key and an often overlooked feature that has made this country the wealthiest in world history.
Good old Abe Lincoln. Love that guy. Most are as happy as they choose to be, he said.
Talk about poor! When he was moved with his parents to some land to begin a new life, they didn’t have water or the materials with which to shelter themselves. They began by cutting down some trees with axes and further cutting the limbs into timbers they used to build a lean-to, in winter. Made their own clothes, if they wore anything. Made their shoes, if they could. On and on. Amazing.
The best thing we could do is eliminate any/al legislation/rules/regulations that in anyway give any kind of preference to anyone or anything. The Right is perfectly happy with giving $$ to corporations but scream about entitlements for citizens while Democrats are happy to rib all of us in the middle class and up to provide as much as one could need to the lower class, the poor, to buy their vote. Each party’s leadership are guilty with the corruption but in different ways.
What we need is a purge of Congress, like a %100 purge and via amendment, enact strict term limits so no one can make a career from this job and force Federal transparency to the point where any attempt by anyone in the Fed Gov to come up with some workaround or creative alternative to that required transparency is charged with treason and publicly executed. Those in government need to be fearful again of the citizens b/c they aren’t now and this emboldens them to act as they please.
We are so lucky that the DemoCommunist Party wants to control the world.
The new Socialist mayor say that he wants to build a government grocery store in each of the five boroughs in New York City. Completion date in 2029.
It typically takes 110 working days (approximately 4 to 5 months) to build a new Costco warehouse from the start of construction to the grand opening. While the physical structure can go up faster, the overall process including interior finishing and preparation is managed under a tight 130-day schedule by contractors. Mamdani understands that under socialism it takes awhile to get things done. Paying off the socialist politicians and the socialist unions in New York city is a costly and time consuming endeavor.
Never fear, that Mamdani boy can get er done. Next, free buses and subways that you can happily ride in fear of your life. Handy wipes for the cleaning of the human defecation from your shoes are provided at every turnstile courtesy of your wonderful mayor. Ain’t life grand in the city where you can never sleep without one eye open?
