Hope for a New Beginning from a Very Bad End

We’re losing almost everything but we can still survive

by Mike Meyer

This is not going to end well. That has been understood for a long time now, at least since the end of 2016. But the need for closure of the US political disaster has reached a crescendo of longing. That need will be unrequited.

No action can be taken to end this because the end cannot be imagined. What would that end even look like? The Executive branch would suddenly disappear? The smaller national political party that is functioning as organized crime syndicate will suddenly repent? The larger national political party would suddenly begin focusing on something other than political positioning for minimum loss?

There really should be no argument to the statement that the damage done, to date, domestically and internationally is so extensive that a totally unified government may not be able to repair it before the climate crisis overwhelms us. The most practical question is where such a government would come from if it were to somehow appear?

The next question is what in the hell it would do? With half of the federal structure and a significant number of states in control of a criminal organization dedicated to exploitation, greed and the elimination of representative government as if these were legitimate political positions, there is very little positive that can be done.

The best that could be hoped for is to halt the most obvious criminal acts and remove incompetents and criminals from the federal positions to which they have been appointed. As to what can be done to fix the packing of federal courts and the Supreme Court, there is no real discussion at all.

The only action that I have seen suggested is to expand the Supreme Court, perhaps doubling the justices, to allow new, unbiased appointments to balance the court. Can that be done on an Executive Order? A Congressional vote? The reality would be that complete control, at least a supermajority in both houses of Congress would be needed. The commitment of one party to criminal sabotage of the constitution suggests that, unless they are completely removed and replaced, anything other than a token change would fail.
