However flawed or hypocritical the American establishment was in the past, its blatant depredations and corruption are now on shameless display for all the world to see.

Flawed is not the right word. Criminal--just camouflaged. Only difference is that with this administration the mask is off

These racist attacks on Dr. Abdul El-Sayed show how afraid they are that he will win. They used the same attacks on Zoran Mamdani. I voted for Abdul and I hope he wins!

"Mommy and daddy in D..C"? More like crazed Uncle Fester.

Bigotry always has a target. We've seen it applied in US history to blacks, Irish, women, Catholics, Jews, most recently illegal immigrants who, though here illegally, are human beings just like everyone else.

And what group has always been the bigots? People just like me, white, Anglo-Saxons. To the credit of America, each one of the groups subject to bigotry has been able to not only withstand it but prevail over it though right now we are seeing the ugliness return with full vigor in Trump.

The sad fact about the election in Israel is that the outcome will have absolutely no effect on the genocide. Here in the US very shortly we do have a real choice, we do have the ability to not just send Trump a message but to tie him down with a Congress that will no longer be made up of trained seals. Al-Sayed will not be a trained seal.

Trump will continue to rant and rave but his absolute power will be gone. We will have a very interesting two years but it will be worth the wait to see him reduced to equal status with the citizenry he has held in contempt. Let's hope we don't get a successor who goes the Obama route with looking forward and not backward. No president must ever come close to the abuses of office we have seen with Trump and he along with his billionaire class must have their ability to buy power restricted if not eliminated. Legislating an end to Citizens United must be job 1.

"... a Congress that will no longer be made up of trained seals."

"When love congeals

it soon reveals

the faint aroma of performing seals..."

Yup, something smells fishy. Ah, the genius of Lorenz Hart (from "Babes in Arms," 1937).

Orwellian. Up is down, black is white. Russia interfered. Arabs are dangerous.

All the while, we're not even allowed to discuss the real 'foreign' threat to our elections or security: "Israel".

"...anyone who thinks they’re capable of choosing who to vote for without the help of mommy and daddy in D.C." ... or sugar daddy, AIPAC.

“He would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he’s allowed to go into the Senate,” Trump said Sunday.

Versus how many that have to kiss his ass in obeisance?
