They did right up until it became politically unpalatable, Dec 7th 1941.
But it’s imp to know that without Pearl Harbor there was a growing American fascist movement that might have ended up in power if Japan hadn’t attacked us.
And they called themselves America First

Can’t stress this enough! And obviously neither the SEC or the DOJ (at least at the highest levels) is going to seriously investigate and prosecute insider trading.
Just an obvious point that anyone with the inside word on when these these total reversals are going to be announced is in a position to make almost limitless amounts of money. Don't forget that given the kind of people who make up this administration.

The RNC chair says it again -- the only function of the RNC is voter suppression and election subversion. It is time to take him literally and seriously.

Giving in because one is afraid won't protect us — it will bring about the authoritarian regime we fear. We need to support those who are still willing to stand up for what is right and to tell the truth. Time for me to subscribe to Democracy Docket. I urge you to do the same.
Since the election, other media figures and outlets have followed suit — each in their own way, each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly. As ratings and circulation rates suffer the financial risks do as well. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

📌Thousands of us stood in the cold here in Wisconsin and across the country protesting Musk's attack on our privacy, and it barely got a mention.
📌Dems are fighting, but the media has once again fallen at Trump's fat, little feet.

Yes - it did, but the framers naively assumed that Congress would not willingly give up its own power. And not just a few but the ENTIRE majority and some of the Dems too. This is complicity and failure of duty at unbelievable levels. These people will bear the shame of history.
