John Young, discussing the recent Supreme Supremacist Court ruling in Moore v. Harper, argues that MAGA Republicans and their sponsors (might one call them “groomers”?), such as the Federalist Society, want to roll back the clock by packing the Court with their dupes, symps, and fellow-travelers.
Here’s a bit of his article:
And so, in a right-wing laboratory, rows of judge-robots were programmed:
“I will destroy democracy.”
“I will destroy democracy.”
“I will destroy democracy.”
MAGA true believers will say this is not the intention of their chosen jurists. They mean only to return the workings of our democracy back to the way they were in the — uh, oh, what the heck — 18th century.
Before the invention of flush toilets. When slaves, not electricity, powered the economy. When only property owners, White ones, ran the place.

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:
Poor dumb Republicans. They planned to have what they thought would be a blockbuster hearing showing how Democrats manipulated Twitter to disadvantage Republicans, but instead they highlighted the fact that Trump pressured Twitter to take down unflattering posts about himself. So much for their dream of a ‘liberal-biased big tech’ expose. Mangy Fetlocks has known a few idiots in his many years, but James Comer, Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, Marjorie Tater Greens, and friends display record-breaking ineptitude and stupidity.

At Psychology Today Blogs, Debbie Peterson suggests that George Santos is, in many ways, the personification of this New Gilded Age. A snippet:
The Pandora Papers Investigations (citation at the link–ed.) identified high-level officials, oligarchs, and billionaires from around the world who were shielded with the help of attorneys, commercial real estate brokers, title companies, banks, and company formation agents who were able to act anonymously and, in turn, obscure the identity of their clients. Corrupt overseas corporate investors operate through virtually unidentifiable shell companies and trusts, unrecorded real estate and company formation transactions, and offshore accounts. The service providers who facilitate corruption also escape regulation, supervision, and accountability.
