A national crisis on this level must involve the whole of government, as it must involve the whole people. Although we did not have it in view in 1861, America broke the back of slavery as a government-sanctioned institution for the entire world’s vision of civilized life, by throwing the institution off in blood and thunder, with prejudice. What we do now about the honesty of elections, of government, and of government’s accountability to protect our rights and not trample them, will have a similar echo throughout the earth. The simple, homely concept of executable, accountable law, the lodestone of our judges, endowed to us by our British forebears, must act as a governor on our deliberations.

Long articles are usually not worth the read. The authors never make a direct point and use just as many adjectives and adverbs and inner monologue thoughts as they can without ever making a point or adding new material the conversation.
Who is the Kraken? We the people!
With millions of tentacles, reaching coast-to-coast and border-to-border.
With millions of eyes and ears to see and hear the unAmericans among us.
And with a great, gnawing hunger for real justice and legal retribution.
Have it your way.
Well said.
This guy loves adding senseless, flowery words.
Not worth the click. He doesn’t know what he believes.
Long articles are often a sign of laziness. Being direct and concise is hard.
These long winded articles are passed around like the waste of time videos where the people proclaim, “Ya gotta watch this! It is the most important video ever!!!
Those videos are 10 to 60 minutes of random incoherent thoughts of an idiot who adds nothing to the conversation.
These things say a lot about the poster who is often a blog pimp out to pimp their own blatherings.
Instead of bitching about the length I read the article and found it interesting.
Yeah. I admit that my attention span isn’t what it used to be. But I would like articles to open with, “The key supporting effort that will win Trump a second term is the legal case heading to the Supreme Court next week which involves the 14th Amendment (or whatever)” and then they can blather on and say “To understand why, we need to go back to Kansas in 1923, to a small town where a young school teacher first had an interesting idea …”
I can handle a lot of obscure digression, but I like to have a sense of where it is all going. If the article starts out vague and just gets flowery, I lose interest fast.
So WHEN is it?
So far, I hear a ton of talk, but see no action.
There is a time for talk, and a time for action. Things need to happen THIS WEEK.
Frankly, I don’t see it happening.
We’ve been screwed, and that is that.
I don’t like it, but unless someone does something now, it is done.
Or not.
In other pathways, we could see "President Biden", followed six months later by "President Harris". Followed one year later by "President Pelosi". Followed two years later by "President Clinton".
Who ever knew that service as President was such a health hazard?
People used to know how to make a statement then explain it. Now, everyone is so starved for personal attention they want to explain their answers before ever giving the answer.
That was (once upon a time) a key lesson in good writing —
1) Tell people what you are going to tell them.
2) Tell them the details.
3) Tell them what it was that you just told them.
Almost no one seems to do that now.
If you drew a decision tree that graphed their conversation, it would look like a bush. They simply cannot get to the point and wander all around barfing out every thought that goes through their head. No self discipline.
Watching these new media types operate in a revenue-generating way is a reminder that old media is also revenue-generating, but more subtle.
Where is John Brown?
Agree he can’t just put two and two together and speculate that part of Trump’s speech pretty much told the Supreme court to clean this mess up or he will and he won’t be so nice and gentle about it.
I will give most videos 15 to 20 seconds to grab my attention. Same for written articles
"Elements of Style"
You and I are on the save wavelength. We've had a month of "BOMBSHELLS!", "GAME CHANGERS!", and "EVIDENCE!" -- but no court victories. Now, we don't have a legal avenue to the Supreme Court (and fast).
Our side is simply talking to itself.
