Will Trump Be Indicted? Tried? Imprisoned? Erased From History?
DownWithTyranny, DownWithTyranny! - 3 minutes ago
Today someone on Twitter seemed to be advocating-- for history's sake-- that Trump be hanged. As you can see, my Twitter followers would *overwhelmingly* like to see him face Justice. I feel the same way-- and then some. If you agree he's been not just the worst president in history but also the most corrupt, the most venal and the one who has caused the most pain and suffering to the American people, then prison is the *least* he should be made to endure. Biden has already pledged not to pardon him. He may be reluctant to strat his presidency off with a lie but his natural incli...

What Do Trump and Trudeau Have in Common? The Escalator.
Peter Erickson, The National Interest - 1 hour ago
*Peter Erickson* *Politics, North America* The escalator has become such a powerful and pervasive symbol in both politics and speech perhaps precisely because it is a machine. In June 2015 Donald Trump rode an escalator into the lobby of Trump Tower in New York City to announce his candidacy for president – an escalator ride that quickly became famous. Politico called it “the escalator ride that changed America,” and The Guardian spoke of “the surreal day Trump kicked off his bid for president” with a “golden escalator ride.” The escalator has long been a symbol of social mobili...

Why Trusting People Vote More
Cary Wu, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Cary Wu* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Generalized trust — an expectation of good will and benign intent of others — is also a powerful predictor of voter turnout. Forecasting election results is hard. Predicting who will turn out to vote next week in the United States is not. The rich are more likely to vote than the poor. The better educated are more likely to vote than the less educated. White people are more likely to vote than racialized Americans. As a scholar who has studied trust and how it matters for years, I can say that generalized trust — an expectation of ...

"Strategic Bias:" Why Women and Candidates of Color Struggle
Regina Bateson, The National Interest - 2 hours ago
*Regina Bateson* *Politics, Americas* [image: Reuters] “I’m not racist, but my neighbor is racist … so I don’t think you’d be a strong a candidate.” When Americans vote this fall, the candidates on their ballots will not reflect the diversity of the United States. Despite recent gains, women and people of color still do not run for office as frequently as white men. In part, this is because they face skepticism about their electability. When former Rep. Katie Hill launched her campaign for Congress in 2017, for example, Democrats told her a woman couldn’t win in her California d...
Cigarette Smoke Can Reprogram Cells in Your Lungs (and Cause Fatal Disease)

Gabriel Wainer, The National Interest - 4 hours ago
*Gabriel Wainer* *Coronavirus, World* The second wave might have been triggered by lockdown fatigue and feelings of invincibility of the young population. But coping mechanisms like denial and rationalism, combined with conflicting public health messages, can lead to population disobedience and trigger a large number of cases. The second wave of COVID-19 has arrived.

*David W. Wise* *Security, * The U.S. Navy is unquestionably the most powerful in the world today in the aggregate. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *At present, the Navy is straining to build two attack submarines a year, while it could afford to build 10 at the cost of just one carrier and its air wing and, arguably, to much greater strategic effect. In addition, unlike most of the surface ship acquisition programs, attack submarine programs have had a generally good record for coming in on schedule and budget. “History,” it has been written, “does not repeat itself, but it ...

The intense rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union pushed the two countries to compete, not only on Earth but throughout the solar system.

Jeremy Corbyn's Ridiculous Suspension
Phil, All That Is Solid ... - 5 hours ago
Talk about throwing paraffin on the fire. Jeremy Corbyn's suspension was wrong, unjustifiable and he should be reinstated immediately. And with seven general secretaries saying the same, kicking this into the long grass is going to be difficult. Without following due process, a point the party was criticised for in the EHRC report and with David Evans, the new general secretary, unable to explain his position to Friday's NEC meeting, there might be more trouble on the horizon. The statement put out by the party noting the removal of the whip says the suspension was because of comme...
