The "Shadow Docket" is where the Supreme Court is taking away our rights...and media does not seem to care. The American media is a wallowing beast more like a hippo than like hippocrates, an open-minded seeker of truth.

The media just wallows toward advertising revenue and has zero care about the responsibility they once had for the public.

Bang on! It has become more 'entertainment' than media...but we can ask Alex Jones how well that is working out for him... LOL

Perfect Barry. We could ask him, but I think he’s had to sell his phone. 🤓

'More entertainment than media' -- which is one of the several reasons why I've commented in a previous reply post that Morning in America Joe is quickly and obviously becoming a news-tainment program. Formerly, I would look forward in the morning to tuning in to Joe predominantly to hear the 'MSNBC contributors' provide a varied commentary on the news. Now, the segments with their comments are truncated almost as soon as they open their mouths. And, lest I forget to say, the endless insertion of sports highlights whenever the bros get a chance. I don't notice any of the women around the table chiming in....

Very true Jacquelyn. The treatment of politics as a sport, as red versus blue, does a great disservice to America and democracy.

I like both comments here. I wonder whether the old Red vs Blue structure is breaking down a bit these days, with more people listing themselves as "Independent"...just the way the Founding Fathers wanted it.

I think so, however, I would argue they are doing so for the wrong reasons. The Democratic party has a very good platform, however the party apparatus is badly broken and remains so. The GOP/MAGA party are incompetent, corrupt, and the condensed version of their platform is to make the wealthy wealthier while dividing and conquering everyone else.

The compilation of pictures tells the entire story! The narcissism, egomania and the evil show through!

Thank you Anthony. I try to make the information as accessible as possible. The pictures really tell a story I try to narrate.

George you really nailed it with this post.

We have a 14th amendment to purge traitors from congress if the dems aren't too timid to use it. I'm not holding my breath. I may spend a lot of time in Baja.

Ya have to love our politics. Four months away and we have no idea who will be president.

In that sense it’s far better than Putin and Russia. Four months away and RT already provides the election results.

This is the beauty, and necessity, of a two-party system.
