This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the United States Supreme Court voted unanimously to let Donald Trump appear on the Colorado ballot in 2024; Democrats and Republicans alike weep and rejoice in equal measure. Kevin McCarthy may have been the shortest-termed speaker in modern history, but MAGA Mike Johnson may go down as the least capable person to ever hold the job as he kicks the can down the road and forces the federal government to live paycheck to paycheck. Next, Real President Joe Biden and Pretend President Donald Trump both visited the Texas Border this week, but only one of them wants to do anything to solve the problem.
With the Colorado legislature well underway, one powerful legislator is picking fights with the media about objectively accurate reporting — where have we seen this before? And our 8th favorite member of congress from Colorado is having a tougher and tougher time these days. May we politely suggest suspending your campaign and spending more time with your family? Finally, the fallout from the overturning of Roe v. Wade continues as Republicans recognize the effects of their own policies; maybe they should stop trying to interfere in private medical decisions altogether so this kind of stuff isn’t a problem anymore? And the most corrupt, contemptible, and batshit crazy chair of the Colorado GOP in modern memory — if not all of history — is using Nikki Haley’s money to go after Phil Anschutz, Jeff Crank, and Nikki Haley, all while trying to bolster his own campaign for Congress. Is there any line this guy won’t cross to promote himself?

The Heritage Foundation representing the Putin Wing of the Republican Party (i.e. almost all of it these days), apparently informed by Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto, has written its own blueprint for remaking the Executive Branch into a cult of personality. The bureaucracy would be an instrument of the Dear Leader, and Congress and the Judiciary mere rubberstamps.
Sieg heils, Baby!
"it portrays the president as the personal embodiment of popular will"
And they are drafting this plan for the guy who lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020, and even if he gets a majority in electoral college, will probably lose the popular vote in 2024 as well.
Well, two months before its leader became chancellor in January 1933, the Nazis pulled only 33% of the popular vote for the German parliament. And they certainly were not shy about claiming that their leader was the personal embodiment of popular will.
