Besides the pronounced superiority of macroeconomic performance under Democratic presidents, the fruits of economic growth are also distributed substantially more equally under Democratic presidents.

Jeg leste saken og la merke til den veldig gode opptakten der journalisten skriver at ontologiske spørsmål («hva finnes? Hva er virkelig?» osv) er noe filosofer har grublet på i tusener av år. Og så intervjuer han fysikere, matematikere og alt annet enn filosofer.
Det som er slående med simulasjonshypotesen er at den ikke har noen betydning. Det er helt irrelevant for livet vi lever om det er simulert eller ekte. Vi kommer til å leve livene våre som vi gjør uavhengig av om de er simulert eller ikke.
men for å dreie det i retning Trump: hans kumpan Musk synes å være overbevist om at virkeligheten er simulert. Eller, egentlig tror han det er et dataspill, for han skjønner ikke forskjellen, og at han sjøl er hovedpersonen.
I gamle dager, da folk jobbet som smeder og gjetere, for gudene over himmelen og lagde lyn med hammer. Nå sitter de fleste på kontor foran datamaskinen, og dermed blir guden en programmerer, og vi lever i en simulering.

Trump didn’t visit Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day in 2018, when he was president. But he visited it today in a shameful political attempt to deflect all the revived reports of his life-long disdain for military service and those patriots...

Det var et sjokk for et stort antall amerikanere da Obama ble president, og dette ble utnyttet politisk av Koch brødrene og USAs store oljeselskap, for å overta ledelsen av GOP. De betalte for grunnleggelsen av Tea Party Movement, som fikk i oppgave å motarbeide Obama-administrasjonen på lokal- og regionalplanet ved å mobilisere til opprør: To Take Our Country Back.
Bevegelsen fikk store midler for å også kvitte seg med moderate folkevalgte Republikanere, ved å stille motkandidater i nominasjonsvalg, fra hundefanger og opp til valg av føderale senatorer og representanter. Anbefaler denne boken - forfatteren kom tidlig inn i arbeidet som Koch-brødrene lå bak og rapporterer fra innsiden.

Det er pur rasisme som ligger bak og det var pur rasisme som gjorde det mulig for Trump å slippe unna med sitt krav om å få se bevis på at Obama var født på Hawaii. Om rasisme ikke var skutt inn i veggene i USA, typ White Supremacy, ville han blitt jagd av scenen av opinionen. I stedet ble han leder av GOP, ved å være hardbarka, uforskammet rasist, som sa hva andre ikke hadde vågd å si.

I’d be willing to bet a week’s pay that right about now, Special Counsel Smith is wishing there was a “duh” emoji he could use in the new legal filings he has been caused to make by two courts run by judges with the skills of failing first year law students. I’m speaking of the superseding...
substack.com
The superseding indictment strips nine pages from the original indictment of Trump relating to acts Trump took when he attempted to use the Department of Justice in his nefarious scheme to overturn the 2020 election results, including the part involving the odious Jeffrey Clark, the environmental lawyer who saw himself so terribly underused at the DOJ that he sought to be appointed by Trump to the top job, Attorney General of the United States, and apparently held that position for a few hours before a squad of lawyers, including Trump’s own White House Counsel and Deputy Counsel and at least two of the top DOJ officials went into the Oval Office and told Trump they would resign along with perhaps another hundred DOJ lawyers if Trump appointed his pet poodle Clark as Attorney General.
Trump wanted Clark running the DOJ for him because Clark had already attempted to interfere on his behalf in the Georgia election results by drafting a letter stuffed with lies that the DOJ had found “irregularities” it had never found in the Georgia election, and for that reason, the DOJ was recommending that the Georgia legislature empanel a committee to investigate the nonexistent irregularities.
Rosen had refused permission to send it, so Clark went around Rosen’s back and met secretly, he thought, with Trump to propose that he replace Rosen so Clark could, as the new acting attorney general, go ahead and send the letter to Georgia.
Just to give you some flavor of what went on in the Oval Office that night, only three days before the assault on the Capitol, Trump at one point turned to Rosen and said, “Well, one thing we know is you, Rosen, you aren't going to do anything. You don't even agree with the claims of election fraud, and this other guy at least might do something," referring to Jeffrey Clark, who was already in the Oval Office meeting with Trump when Rosen and Donoghue arrived.
When Trump asked rhetorically, “What do I have to lose?” Donoghue jumped in and told him, “Mr. President, you have a great deal to lose. I said, ‘Mr. President, you’re talking about putting a man in that seat who has never tried a criminal case, who’s never conducted a criminal investigation. He’s telling you that he’s going to take charge of the department — 115,000 employees, including the entire FBI — and turn the place on a dime and conduct nationwide criminal investigations that will produce results in a matter of days. It’s impossible. It’s absurd. It’s not going to happen and it’s going to fail.’”
Trump asked Donoghue what he would do if he appointed Clark as attorney general. Donoghue said, “I would resign immediately. I’m not working one minute for this guy.” Donoghue went on to tell Trump, “Within 24-48-72 hours, you could have hundreds and hundreds of resignations of the leadership of your entire Justice Department because of your actions

Den amerikanske eks-presidenten Donald John Trump er selvsagt et forbilde, et ideale og en utrolig inspirerende foregangsskikkelse, hvis gjerninger, utsagn og råd bør tas til hjertet som lysende eksempel på det beste i oss mennesker.
I går repostet han noen bilder. I enhver annen nasjon ville dette, fra en kandidat for politisk verv i et demokratisk valg, vært øyeblikkelig diskvalifiserende.
Hva gjør dette betydningsfullt? Vi må huske at USAs Høyesterett har besluttet at det presidenten gjør eller beordrer har full immunitet.
En forfatningsrettprofessor skriver om hva det betyr. John Roberts er justitiarius i Høyesterett:
I taught Trump v. United States this morning, and I cannot emphasize enough the extent to which sane moderate institutionalist John Roberts’s opinion represents the purest gaslighting of an entire legal and political system.
Here are three things that, per the opinion, a president cannot under any circumstances be prosecuted for doing, either when he’s president, or after he’s no longer in office. Note that these aren’t parade of horribles arguable hypotheticals: THESE ARE ALL FULLY IMMUNIZED ACTS UNDER THE RULES CREATED — and “created” is very much the exact term — BY THE OPINION.
(1) Ordering the military to assassinate his political opponents. Commanding the military is explicitly a core constitutional function of the presidency, which means anything done by a president in that role immunizes him forever from criminal prosecution.
(2) Openly auctioning off presidential pardons to the highest bidders. Again, the pardon power is an exclusive core constitutional function of the presidency. Literally nothing Trump does when exercising it is subject to prosecution, during his presidency or at any time afterwards.
(3) Ordering the Attorney General to fabricate criminal charges against Kamala Harris, Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and anybody else he wants to imprison on false charges. Roberts holds explicitly that Trump is absolutely immune forevermore for anything he communicated or will communicate to Department of Justice officials.
This list could be extended pretty much endlessly.
That assassination attempt sure sobered Donald Trump up now didn’t it? Donald Trump shared more than a dozen posts on his social media network Wednesday that call for the trial or jailing of House lawmakers who investigated the attack on the U.S. Capitol, special counsel Jack Smith and others...

Problem solved
Tenk om Biden hadde vært like kraftig i klypa mot trump som mot palestinerne; problem solved

og det ville det ikke komme noe som helst godt ut av.

Vice President Kamala Harris didn’t see a big bounce in polling after the Democratic National Convention, but instead has continued her presidential campaign’s momentum with steady, sustained ...
www.dailykos.com
In June, Trump led Biden by 3 points among low-income voters. Harris now has a 23-point lead over Trump among that demographic.
Voters 18 to 34 years old moved from supporting Trump by 11 points to supporting Harris by 13 points, 49%-36%.
Hispanics, a group the Republican campaign has been cultivating, moved from supporting Trump by 2 points to supporting Harris by 16 points, 53%-37%.
Black voters, traditionally one of the most overwhelmingly Democratic groups, moved from supporting Biden by 47 points to supporting Harris by 64 points, 76%-12%.
"You just don’t see that sort of thing happen in elections normally,” one expert told CBS News
www.salon.com
According to Target Smart, data show that registration is up 175.8% among young Black women; 149.7% among young Latinas; 98.4% among Black women overall; 85.8% among Black Americans generally; and 83.7% among young women as a whole.
“It’s incredibly unusual to see changes in voter registration that are anywhere close to this. I mean, there might be 175% is almost tripling of registration rates among this specific group,” Bonier noted. “You just don’t see that sort of thing happen in elections normally.”

også?
kommer det noe godt utav at trump vinner valget, gjerne på uredelig vis?
Som sagt, demokratiets utfordring er at man tror at alle er snille, og vil spille etter demokratiets regler.
når demokratiet så oppdager at det ikke er tilfelle er det for sent. da sitter bøllen, facisten, tyrannen, den ubestridte leder der og gjør som han vil; demonterer demokratiet, putter inn sine følgere i de rette posisjoner og sitter til evig tid
og alt dette har faktisk trump sagt at han kommer til å gjøre
Så blant disse to alternativene, hva går du for? det blir antagelig ikke en runde 2
Så er Kamala intervjuet, og hun skal ha blitt utfordret på flere saker hvor hun har snudd, bl.a. skiferolje. Hvilket som det skal være, politikere skal kjøres litt hardt.
I tilfellet Trump derimot har slikt vært nærmest fraværende, han har fått lov til å lire av seg den ene løgnen etter den andre (162 stk i løpet 63 minutter), bablet i vei om crowd sizes, hemningsløst skryt uten rot i virkeligheten uten å ha blitt nevneverdig satt til veggs.

Livet er fullt av dilemmaer
Jeg vet hva jeg hadde gjort dersom jeg hadde hatt lederskap for et demokrati og demokratiet var i fare slik som feks i USA, der de anti demokratiske kreftene også i detalj har dokumentert hva de skal gjøre.
Noe å tenke særlig mye på? Jeg så de komme, jeg visste hva de ville, men gjorde intet…
Go plan
Den amerikanske presidenten sverger en ed som forplikter å ivareta forfatningen. Det er presidentens hovedansvar.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Ability tolkes juridisk som anvendelse av hele det føderale maktapparatet. Og ordene preserve, protect and defend levner liten tvil. Forfatningen beskriver hvordan demokratiet skal iverksettes i USA og dersom truslene mot dette blir tilstrekkelig store, er det selvsagt og en plikt for presidenten å verne om forfatningen.
Den ene presidentkandidaten i USA har sagt at han vil "terminate the Constitution". Det er et mysterium at mannen fortsatt er GOPs nominerte, siden dette burde diskvalifisert ham øyeblikkelig. Men GOPs ekstremister har bestemt seg for å gjennomføre et forfatningsstridig kupp i USA, der rettigheter skal fratas dem som ikke støtter kuppet.
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”
Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
www.pbs.org
Derfor er det maktpåliggende på den sittende presidenten å stanse dette kuppet, med den føderale statens virkemidler.
MEN - i dagens USA vil dette bety et blodbad vi ikke har sett maken til i et demokrati, siden den forrige amerikanske borgerkrigen.
