What the World Is Saying About Us Sometimes it helps to hear what our friends are saying about us to get a better perspective on our faults, as painful as that may be. So I want use today’s Morning Memo to highlight key excerpts from a devastatingly frank new report from the International Institute for…

In upside-down world, Justice Alito blames “the plaintiff States and the courts” for causing the late timing of USPS’ attempt to interfere in mail voting by suing to stop it.
Unmentioned by Alito: USPS issued the rule in violation of an injunction.

So, three justices on SCOTUS are prepared to say that the constitution that provides the basis for their authority and the interpretations they’re making is not only wrong but can be amended by their action alone.
It doesn’t sound like an argument can be made for their continuing service.

Is that because the “old frontier” is being pummeled?
The U.S. spent close to $22.3 billion on munitions and $33.4 billion on the war in general in that four-month period.
And this is only through July 30. It is also official government data.

Earlier this year when I was having my taxes done, I told my preparer that I was uneasy about this market and sold my stocks. He said, “I did the same thing.” This market is not for the weak of heart, or those of us who cannot lose anything. Buckle up.

Kavanaugh, Alito and Thomas need to be removed from the bench. All three are compromised and corrupted.

I believe ongoing payments will keep regimes like those in Argentina and Argentine and Argentina in the fold.
Well. he’s supposed to be a ‘transactional’ president, no?
[Note: has the legacy media utterly failed to present this regime in a way that makes it easy to apprehend the depth of their corruption and perversion of American governance, or what?]

TPM is doing some Pro Publica level reporting with Josh’s story on the FBI going after dissenters (shades of J. Edgar), Mathias’ expose on Rawson and many other fine pieces that have come out including Walker’s great series. This is what I am paying for and I am thrilled to see them getting these scoops.
Good work!

Chump II Sends Democracy Worldwide Into A Tailspin
There is no way ANY of the most consequential sabotage that Chump has allowed…on every front imaginable…isn’t on-purpose and serving to destroy the country. Equally implausible that Chump is doing this on his own volition. NOBODY could be this wrong, especially if they have a country they are beholden to and defending. Nobody who is loyal to the U.S. and looking out for it’s interests would be doing a single ONE of the things they’ve done. So how do we explain the THOUSAND ways they’ve attacked and harmed our nation? Chump, his family, his billionaire cabinet, the Oilygarchs, Musk, Project 2025, Fed Soc, Hegseth and Military, Intel…they are all doing everything they can to break us. Not just some things, not just a few mistakes, not a misguided loyalty…systematically breaking everything by doing exactly the wrong thing for America, every single time.
It’s time to stop acting like they are just crazy, or reactionary, or it’s a product of Chump’s madness. No matter how Nazi or racist or ethno-christian blah blah blah…nobody would do these things if they expected America to survive as anything other than a salvage claim. They see a future landscape they can inhabit, and we’re not in it.
There is a difference between trying to make the country something else you want it to be and being in charge of it (no matter how horrible your ideology); and destroying the country completely to the point it is unrecognizable and sold for parts.

In the span of 22 month since the 2024 election, it’s gone from “Are you gonna be okay?” to “Are you okay?” to “You’re not okay.”
…to “no, man, you are really a mess,” to “I cannot believe how completely deranged and destructive you are” to “OMFG!!!..”
