The overreaching federal government

 The Tenth Amendment Center had this quote in a recent newsletter: Richard Henry Lee, in a letter to Samuel Adams on Oct. 5, 1787, might have the best view of the long-term problems we're facing: “I suppose my dear Sir, that the good people of the U. States in their late generous contest, contended for free government in the fullest, clearest, and strongest sense. That they had no idea of being brought under despotic rule under the notion of "Strong government," or in form of  elective despotism: Chains being still Chains, whether made of gold or iron .” Well put .

Trump’s Reign Appears To Be Over

 Well, there’s more depraved machinations by the Trump machine and the rest of the Republicans to subvert the will of the people. It’s not bad enough that there was a sizable quantity of ghost registrations by Republican voters, but the Republicans are continuing their false claims of vote fraud. I guess vote fraud only occurs when you vote for someone that’s not Republican.  As if the Federal government can tell the states how to run their elections. Just another case of unConstitutional overreach. The founders are undoubtedly spinning in their graves. I’m expecting the Supreme Court to throw another election, like they did it 2000. It’s time to elect the members of the Supreme Court before they throw another unConstitutional election. The Supreme Court is made up of corrupt, unAmerican, greedy, bought and paid for lawyers with no morals except to pay off their handlers.

CapitalOne provides misleading information on their website

 Well, this time, I have new info about dishonest corporations. I went on the CapitalOne website to make a payment on my credit card. As you can see, the date of the transaction is 11/8 and the webpage clearly states my payment is not due until tomorrow, 11/9 at 8 pm ET. Look further down the page and see that they’ve charged me a late fee. And in a really small typeface, they give the due date as 11/7. I called CapitalOne and they insisted that the due date was 11/7. They finally relented and credited me back the $27 late fee after a 17 minute phone call. And they refused to take responsibility for the bogus information on their website, that’s what got me pissed off. CapitalOne is like most large corporations, unethical.

Revisionist “libertarians”

 From a twitter feed: Fake libertarians are for the most part really subversives that believe the Republicans can do no wrong.  It’s time to defund the government which seeks to disenfranchise the voters in this banana republic.  Update: I see that Google decreased the resolution of the picture to the point it was unreadable, so here are the relevant posts: Tweet See new Tweets Conversation Gunsgalore @Gunsgalore2 #MoscowMitch is the one packing the court. Or do you deny that? The only work the Senate does is packing the courts with crooked, extremist, politically connected lawyers. Impeach Kavanaugh. Quote Tweet Raquelley Rinelly @Rachelleyelly · 7h Stoping changing the definitions of packing the courts. Filling vacancies is NOT packing the courts. Adding seats IS packing the courts. And From the internet: Supreme Court nominations used to need 60 votes for confirmation if any senator objected, but Mr McConnell changed Senate rules in 2017 to allow the confirmation of...
