A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW THE U.S. SENATE HAS BEEN FUNCTIONING OVER THE LAST 4+ YEARS.

I applaud NANCY PELOSI FOR STANDING UP FOR OUR CONSTITUTION, BY PERFORMING A DUTY THAT IS PART OF HER OATH OF OFFICE, AND IGNORING THE DICTATORIAL POLICIES THAT HAVE TAKEN OVER MUCH OF THE WAY OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONDUCTS BUSINESS. THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SUCH METHODS OF GOVERNING IS THE FAULT OF BOTH PARTIES. IT TAKES ONE TO ATTEMPT TO INITIATE SUCH PRACTICES/POLICIES, AND THE OTHER TO CAVE IN, AND DO NOTHING TO ALTER THE SITUATION. 

WITH THAT IN MIND, THE AMOUNT OF EVIDENCE THAT POINTS TO DONALD TRUMP POSSIBLY MISUSING THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY IS EXTENSIVE, AND TO IGNORE IT WOULD BE A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY, LET ALONE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. HOW BAD CAN IT GET?

CONSIDER THIS: With the initiation of AN INVESTIGATION THAT COULD LEAD TO IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, I HEARD DEMOCRATS URGING SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL TO PLACE DONALD TRUMP ON TRIAL BEFORE THE U.S. SENATE, FOR POSSIBLE REMOVAL FROM OFFICE, IF THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT ARE PASSED BY THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

THERE IS A CHOICE? WE HAVE ELECTED DEMOCRATS ASKING THE SENATE MAJORITY LEADER TO OBEY CONSTITUTIONAL LAW? 

That seems pretty silly doesn't it?

Why don't we ask MERRICK GARLAND?

DONALD TRUMP IS A RACIST. YOU'RE REALIZING THAT NOW?

The following was first published on 10/3/2016, about a month before the election. Naturally, it does not include any commentary on the BOGUS RESULTS THAT GAVE HIM THE WHITE HOUSE.

FEATURE ARTICLES. MESSAGE TO ALL PROGRESSIVES: DON'T YOU SEE IT, EVEN NOW? PART 2.

Progressives who continue to think that Donald Trumps Lack of:
-  Maturity.
-  Ability.
-  Integrity.
-  Emotional Stability.
etc...
and Highlighting These Traits on Talk Shows, are making a Crucial, and possibly Fatal Error, when it comes to defeating him at the polls. It is the same mistake that his Republican Party Foes made during the Republican Presidential Primary, and it results from Misunderstanding the Source of his Support, and the Degree to which they are willing to bring out the Vote for him, NO MATTER WHAT.

What does this Mean? It is not the "Revolution" that first the Tea Party, Then the Republican Party, And Finally Most Republican Party Presidential Candidates, Talked About. The Economic and Social Victories earned by the Obama Administration, (with the Incalculable Aid and Support of Progressive Politicians, Organizations, Activists, and Voters.) pretty much took the wind out of those claims.

No, Hard Core Trump Supporters go far beyond the Republican Party "Revolution." To them, Hate, Prejudice, Xenophobia, Racism,and Religious Zealotry are not Abstract Concepts to be studied, but Tangible and Useful Tactics to Influence Fanatics of every Stripe, and scare more Rational Potential Voters.

What is Rule #1- What Donald Trump has Done or Said, or will Do or Say, MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AS LONG AS HE TOES THE EXTREMIST LINE.

American Philosophical Association. Help us support philosophers in the New Year.

 

Dear DAVID,   There are only a few hours left in 2020, but you still have time to make a tax-deductible donation to the American Philosophical Association before ringing in the New Year.   If you are in a financial position to do so, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the new APA Meeting Assistance Fund. The fund was established to provide subvention grants to reduce the cost of APA meeting participation for those facing financial hardship, especially graduate students and contingent faculty.   We have reduced the registration rates by approximately 20 percent this year, but those who have lost income due to the coronavirus pandemic may still be unable to attend without additional assistance. By making a donation to the APA Meeting Assistance Fund, you will have a hand in helping a graduate student, contingent faculty member, or other scholar in need take part in an APA meeting in 2021.     Whether or not you are able to make a financial contribution today, please know that all of us at the APA deeply value your support and your contributions to our discipline and our community. We wish you and your loved ones a safe and healthy New Year.   With gratitude,   Amy E. Ferrer Executive Director
