    Seems that much of America will have to literally catch on fire (as in Australia) before citizens finally protest Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, as Australians are doing with Murdoch’s NewsCorp.

    1. Anyone who isn't terrified by the declaring that abuse of power, that urging a foreign power to interfere with our elections, that obstructing evidence is not impeachable, and that no evidence is needed, has never studied the emergence of dictatorships.....

    In Germany it was an academic dad, a political scientist, and his physicist son who challenged electronic voting and won. Germany does democracy now better than we do.

    So you want to keep 2 million jobs pushing paper & frustrating people getting healthcare bills paid? Let's ban earthmoving gear at construction sites. Just shovels - or demitasse spoons. All solutions create new problems. Let's free up wasted human labor to do useful work.

    It’s amazing how quickly Republican Senators who claimed that the case against Trump was “weak” or “thin” or mocked the idea that there was a “mountain of evidence” against him have now switched to arguing that “yes, he did it, but let’s acquit him anyway!”

    I don’t think it has quite sunk in that the Republican Senate is directly setting a precedent that presidents can now use hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars as leverage to obtain personal or political benefits without consequence. Why wouldn’t Trump just do it again now?

    Historic preservation gone too far? "We need more housing more than we need a non-working gas station," wrote one community member regarding the effort to award landmark status to a defunct gas station.

    3. Put 1 & 2 together & you get my prediction: starting pretty soon, conservatives are going to start accusing Dems of cheating & election fraud. They might find some half- or quasi-truth to hang it on, but that's not necessary. The bubble can just invent stuff these days.

    4. They are going to start these accusations early & aggressively, which offers two advantages. First, when Dems start pointing out *actual* examples of cheating & election fraud, cons will say they're just doing it in response, trying to wriggle out of something.

    5. And more importantly, putting accusations in the air early means that when their own cheating & fraud are pointed out, the media will cover it as a "both sides are accusing each other of cheating, isn't partisanship terrible" story.

    6. Remember, their case doesn't need to be plausible, any more than Trump's Ukraine defense was plausible. They won't mind looking silly or being "fact-checked" by the MSM. They just need to keep both-sides chaff in the air long enough for them to get away with it.

    7. They don't care if, months or years later, people look back and conclude, "oh, yeah, they were cheating." I mean, it's pretty obvious by now that they stole the 2000 presidential election, but what do they care? They got the power when it mattered.

    8. And if they do win in 2020, they can spend the next 4 years dismantling whatever checks remain on their cheating, so that there will be no more embarrassing revelations. This is likely the last election in which institutions have any power to restrain them.

    10. Anyway, there you have it: watch for a growing wave of stories from the RW swamp that Dems are cheating. It will rise to a crescendo as the election approaches. Dems will be caught flat-footed, the media will fall for it, & it'll probably work. Sigh. </fin>
