Every American watching the debate Thursday had to realize, at this point, America is a late-stage empire.
In a devastating blow to the Department of Justice’s criminal prosecution of January 6 protesters, the U.S. Supreme Court today overturned the DOJ’s use of 18 USC 1512(c)(2), the most prevalent felony in J6 cases.
The statute, commonly referred to as “obstruction of an official proceeding,” has been applied in roughly 350 J6 cases; it also represents two of four counts in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s J6-related criminal indictment of Donald Trump in Washington. In a 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the “c2” subsection is tethered to the “c1” subsection that addresses tampering with a record, document, or “object.” The decision means hundreds of Americans have been wrongfully prosecuted by Attorney General Merrick Garland as he insists his department is dedicated to upholding the “rule of law” and pursuing justice “without fear or favor.”
This episode of the View did not age well:
This comes on the heels of President Biden’s terrible, disturbing debate performance.
NEW: CNN’s Erin Burnett says Biden knew “every one of these questions is coming” leading many to suggest that Biden was fed debate questions beforehand.
CNN, you have some explaining to do. You fed Biden the questions??
“He practices with the mics. He knows every one of these questions is coming, and yet he couldn’t fill the time.”
Burnett: “He goes through six days of preparation, a camp day, more than that. And they know the rules.”
CNN: “Right now, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party. It started minutes into the debate, and it continues right now. It involves party strategists and involves elected officials.
It involves fundraisers, and they’re having conversations about the President’s performance, which they think was abysmal, which they think will hurt other people down the party on the ticket.
They’re having conversations about what they should do about it. Some of those conversations include: Should we go to the White House and ask the president to step aside? Should prominent Democrats go public with that call?”
So the speed with which the Democrats threw Biden under the bus tells you everything you need to know in terms of strategy & planning.
And….
Suddenly the right is no longer “lying” about Biden’s cognitive decline – as if the people with him every day did not already know what the media/pundits are now finally saying. More importantly, who is directing this charade? And what is the end goal? This entire administration defrauded the American people about the condition of the President and in a properly functioning society, this would be a scandal.

The experts told us Joe was fine. The experts told us to take the vax. The experts told us the laptop was fake. The experts told us the border is secure. The experts told us inflation is transitory. The experts told us 2020 was the MOST legitimate and secure election in history. Remember.
President Biden is in Dire Straights. A second debate would only confirm his mental disabilities to everyone except CNN.
Doubt he agrees to another.
Much jostling going on behind the scene with influential Democratic people.
Running against a felon and losing, go figure….
Rather entertaining for us moderates…
Good to see this essential Contemporary American History column back!
Missed it on Sunday – when there was no CCM in my mail box, I thought maybe the world had ended or something and nobody bothered to tell me about it.
