They don’t believe in the constitution......just raw power. They use and abuse laws and the constitution.....scramble it’s meanings and stomps on any who fight against them..with delay tactics and obstruction....THAT is just how they work...truth has left the marketplace of ideas...

....”So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance; truth has stumbled in the streets, honesty cannot enter.”........... Isaiah 59:14........Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous; therefore, justice is perverted.”....Habakkuk 1:4

The collapse of the Senate is simply one part of the disorder prevailing in every branch of our government. Corruption in the DOJ and the resistance of the "deep state" make the notion that we are a democracy with a peaceful succession of power nonsense. It corrodes our faith in the institutions and customs which, until now, have made the United States exceptional among nations.

I believe it is no accident that we would lose the knack of governing ourselves at the same time we absorbed the benefits of modern technology. Nearly instantaneous and ubiquitous world-wide communication, cable television, 24 hour news services, the internet, and social media, have divided our culture into warring tribes and clans, not brought it together. It is simply true that we are less of a unified nation today than we were one hundred years ago when the telegraph was the only means of spreading the word from coast to coast. We were far more sophisticated in the art of self government then. Ironically, our advanced ability to communicate with each other has set us back instead of advancing us in that art. Who knows how long it will be before we adapt, or if we ever will.

[ In Greece, Senate intrigue became subterfuge became calumny became warfare. ]

Sounds about right.

“The Senate is NOT an “activists” group, it supposed to be a governing body”

That’s a powerful statement.

Spot on and truly well said. You'd think with the world of information at one's fingertips that more people would become aware of the facts-truth but that's not happening. The idiots on social media reinforce each other where before they would have doubts about their opinions.

I guess that’s what the progressive movement is. Progressing away from the Constitution, the law, western civilization, God...all tradition. It’s destructive to the very values that make people want to move to the west. Where do want to take us? To hell?

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, in confirming a supreme judge to one of the most important courts, investigates him about flatulence at the age of 16?????

"Asking the crucial question...Can we really allow an admitted Boofer on to the Supreme Court?"....Was it silent but deadly? The type that would put a woman in a compromising position and more likely to succumb to unwanted sexual advances?

It’s what they are and do...they are not for this country but only for the power they seek....and that power leads right to the Globalist Leadership table they want to sit.

Many celebrities and that sleaze Avenetti (sp?) are donating big bucks to Nunes’ opponent. I do hope there is no chance that Nunes could lose. He is big on investigating the deep state.

The American Nazi Party (they call themselves Democrats).

Check out their agenda, their politics and their method of operations and tell me they aren’t fascists.

....money is flowing like a flood out there now and will until the election.....but celebrities hand outs are generally not their own money rather donors who have maxed out are using the celebrities to funnel more thru the pipelines.
