Trump
Well, for many outsiders, there are aspects of the American justice system that are curious; this issue about prosecutors and sheriffs running for election, and you are probably right; it affects professional judgement. So I suspect you are equally scornful about how the DA, who was running for office, was particularly keen to "get " Alec Baldwin, merely because he was a celebrity, and it would look good in her campaign. https://www.businessinsider.com/ex-special-prosecutor-alec-baldwin-rust-case-campaign-report-2023-3 (not the original piece, which appeared in the New York Times, which is paywalled) Justice, as you intimate, should be blind. It is not blind where you institutionalise a process that politicises the entire judicial process, and force judges, DAs, sheriffs to declare themselves for one of the two main parties (and hardly or never it seems for any other party or as an independant). Hence ou now have this mess of the Supreme Court being completely political, when it should be apaolitical, as the ultimate arbiter. Judges should not be in the pocket of any President. The United States is the only country in the world where voters elect prosecutors. But it wasn't always that way. The American prosecutor did not start as an elected official. After the Revolutionary War, most states gave their governors, judges, or legislators the power to appoint prosecutors. Starting with Mississippi in 1832, however, states adopted new constitutions, statutes, or amendments that made prosecutors elected officials. By 1861, nearly three-quarters of the states in the Union elected their prosecutors. "Packing the Court" is not new; Roosevelt tried it in 1937. If this particular President wants to be remembered in history, depoliticisation of the entire judicial process would be a brave step. Reform starts at the top, so he needs to impose term limits on those judges, and possibly follow a model instituted by Idaho in 1967 which successfully removed judges from politics. I could forsee genuine bipartisan support from that (and opposition from both parties). It needs a change in the Constitution, so it woul be a considerable challenge, but lasting. -

George Clooney Criticizes Media for Failing to Cover Biden’s Declining Abilities
The whole thing was a disaster. Anybody with a brain knew Biden was an elderly man without the capacity to be a President. Not to say he was infirm, but we all know when to hang up the shingle and just play with the grandkids Harris; hmm always had my doubts about her, never could quite trust her after the dodgy deal she made with San Onofre settlement. I voted for Biden the first time on the assumption he was going to be a one time President and hand it over to a new generation. He blew that and denied any real transition. A proper primary would in my opinion have given the country a real choice for President But now time to lick our wounds and plan for the future I'm pretty sure Newsom is planning for the next round, which I would applaud -
