      I am shocked you and Mark haven't covered more in depth on the influence of the IDU and Stephen Harper and the connection to Roman on the Trump indictments. The IDU is having their people try and subvert democracy in multiple countries including helping Trump in the US. This should be massive news that gets shouted from the rooftops!!!

      Funny how at exactly @09:11 Lawyer Mark Elias was stumbling over his words that he wanted to say as you know he was speaking the truth so hard they couldn't come out fast enough. Yes, this election, if Trump wins and the Senate and House isn't 60% Democrat America's Democracy will be torpedoed by Authoritarianism. They will force so many new anti Democratic rules through there will never be a fair and true Democratic election ever again. It will be just like Russia's elections where Putin wins by 95% or like a North Korea or Chinese life time family appointment as the countries leader.
      Seriously, do Republican's even have a conscience? They are actin like ruthless bloodlust megalomaniacs with delusions of godhood. Supporting a Russian like country for themselves? For what? Money? Using prostitutes to manipulate people of power to make decisions because they accept that's how business is done or will be blackmailed to keep the sex acts under wraps. That's how and why Jeffery Epstein came into being. Not just perversion but as a tool of leverage to benefit the rich and make slaves of everyone else. Cheap labor and low taxes if any. That's what manipulating the courts is really all about. The rich have always wanted this make no mistake about it.
      The Rich are cold and calculating, malevolent crude and goal oriented. Authoritarians have had unprecedented success doing this throughout time. "That's the way it's been for the past million years, unfortunately or fortunately." That's the conversation Trump had at some time in his past when they convinced him to run for president. That's why he said that in the hearing a few months ago. He was remembering. Stars can grab them by the yoohoo for the past million years? There are no records about stars for a million years but authoritarians can go right back to the apes. Keep in mind there are bigger fish to fry. That is, if you can convince Americans Trump is just the spearhead of this endeavor. Probably originated in Russia when he had his beauty pageants there. Probably where the conversation was 1st discussed. Trump kept away from running for President before. He simply needed to be assured he would keep his ass out of prison for all his crimes. He needed a way and someone explained it to him.
      Sure wasn't his lawyers with all their hair brained legal delays. Of course that is one of the tools for success but they didn't cover all the bases. Judge Merchan is pushing this case forward no matter what. Judge Chutkin must be quaking in her robe afraid to do a an interlocutory appeal. However, she did rule against former President Donald Trump’s immunity claim. Now the case is stopped waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on the decision. She could have refused to allow Trump to appeal or allow for an interlocutory appeal like Judge Merchan did. He's not holding the case waiting right? Judge Cannon clearly is beholden to Trump being appointed green like she was. Nobody doubts that but nothing is done about it. That is stupid considering the stakes. HELLO JACK SMITH... WHERE ARE YOU?
      The Colorado Judge McAfee isn't pushing the Fani Willis case allowed for the case to be stopped dead before the election. He has an election on May 21st to continue to be a judge claiming he is bipartisan. Is that playing a role allowing Trump too much judicial preference? Fani Willis was dating someone she hired? Nothing proven but McAfee is letting that go on and on stepping on her claiming the system is prejudice against nonwhites as she spoke at her church. It's true but McAfee doesn't like it having anything to do with him probably. She didn't say it was anything to do with him but there's that election he needs to win.
      Colorado is a slim majority Democratic State and why they tried to over turn the election there. That and it is a key State. Seems stupid to me. Everything is so obviously malicious but the courts allow for Trump and the GOP to hold up justice with obvious delays. VOTE BLUE OR BECOME A SLAVE 80% OF YOU AMERICANS. THAT'S JUST OBVIOUS.

      Elections do have consequences. Trump is within 5 points in the deepest Blue State of NY. And Biden is in Florida believing he has a chance to win there. Biden is stupid. Trump can win all 50 States in November because as you say, elections have consequences, and Joe Biden is the worst President in American history as we all know. 38% approval is all the man can get up to.

    No one ever talks about Oregon but in this state our legislature actually passed campaign finance reform this session. They passed several bipartisan bills because they know voters run this state. If they don't do their job, the voters will put similar legislation on the ballot through the initiate process. We have a very democratic form of government that is transparent and works because the voters are very involved in the process of government. We have a lot to lose if Trump gets in there. He hates the blue states and wants to punish them. I don't want to see democracy go backwards here or nationally. Let's get this monster where he belongs, IN JAIL.

    I am Canadian and after refusing to visit the US because of overturn of Roe and other political issues I will only be travelling to states in the US that are protecting voting rights and aren’t stripping freedoms from women and LGBTQ Americans. I will only support the economy in areas that legitimately support ALL PEOPLE. Not just white straight cis gender Christian Americans.

      As a Canadian I totally agree, and have been discussing this with friends and family, most of whom stopped visiting when Trump was elected. We will not be spending our money in any states that are not protecting voting rights and women's reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights. Americans might be surprised how many Canadians feel this way.
      Thank you for your excellent points.

      Not spending money in a State run by a fascist, book-banning troll, who thinks he can treat women like The Handmaid’s Tale. Has anyone checked - I bet DeSatan is keeping the Tourism numbers a secret, cuz I can guarantee you they are down. He is near the end of his term and he will walk away, and leave the Dumpster Fire that is Florida behind him

    One of the greatest weakness of the American republican system, is that you have politicians appointing Judges. Any comment on saying that any part of the Judiciary has a political leaning is an anathema to true democracy. Most modern democracies have a totally independent Judiciary, that have no need to beholding to elected officials. If you want an unbiased system where the courts uphold the constitution and rule of law without fear or favour then you must allow the Judiciary themselves to appoint people based on individual proficiency and past performance.

      I think it requires more than two. I think we should repeal the 12th amendment, which would not only end the electoral college but also severely curtail the power of the RNC and DNC, and allow a true multi-party democracy to develop.
      The 12th amendment is frankly THE REASON we are in the situation we’re in with Trump.
