Thanks for providing the link

I agree that Politico is a rag, but this sounds made up.

How many of them changed their minds when they were told that DJT is, in fact, over the age of 75?

What do you think Biden will be able to on court reform without a supermajority in the House and Senate?

The court reform announcement is entirely an aspirational effort. “Just think what we could do if you get out and vote.”

I think that, like it or not, the legal landscape today is what we have to contend with this election cycle.

This would be awesome. Give Harris a two hour uninterrupted prime time spot to let the former prosecutor make a case against electing a convicted felon and follow it with 2 hours of the oldest candidate in US history rambling. 😆

Play up her former DA status. This year the election is between Law and Lawlessness.

Harris: “I would be happy to prosecute the case against the felon in the next debate, let’s just see if he shows up for his court date or if he’s too busy taking bribes from his rich tech bro friends.”

Yep, the Democratic problem is not persuading cultists on the other side, it’s energizing the base.

This will energize his base and he will win the election. It will also mean Republican domination of the House and Senate. The next two years will be a clusterfuck as normal and barriers are demolished and regular people begin to realize they’ve elected fascism. The midterms will begin to look like a blue wave, but then they will point back to moments like this to declare the Democratic party “illegitimate” and remove them from ballot access, if midterm elections happen at all.

This is the end of any semblance of democracy in the US for at least a generation.

Snake! Careful now, I just saw it moving in and out of that bush, almost like a…

Exactly this.

“Sorry Mr. President, the policies you enacted during the triple hurricane saved thousands of lives, but the drug test you took beforehand were positive for mood stabilizers so we’ve invalidated your policies and everyone who was saved by them has been taken out back and shot.”

This isn’t the fucking Olympics. But then debates are a terrible way to judge a president to begin with.

So the bill meant to “increase transparency” has an amendment added to specifically allow money to be less transparent.

Yep. Lavender makes me feel physically sick.

He’ll be convicted of at least some of the counts, but will immediately begin appealing the decision and won’t face any consequences before the election.

Maybe the fact that he’s now a “convicted felon” will sway some people, but my guess is that most will simply move their own internal goalposts “since it’s still being decided on appeal”

The idea of being able to access the trackball from the front or back really is intriguing.

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this woman and TurboTax.

No, charging other people so that you can take advantage of a loophole is called Tax Preparation

At this point we’ve reached a complete and utter death of euphemism around anything regarding Trump.

All attempts to “bring to light” any horrible thing Trump has factually committed will be met by his followers with, “Well that’s actually a good thing.” And any politician trying to ride his wake will have to go along with it.

How soon until we start hearing “Look, we have to view Hitler with some nuance” from the Senate podium.

Return of the Obra Dinn is short but a great puzzle game for keeping track of things.

This stopgap bill would absolutely have enough votes to pass in the House and the only reason McCarthy won’t bring it to a vote is because the hard liners would motion to vacate the speakership. So the US will be plunged into chaos all because one guy doesn’t want to lose his title. Cool democracy.

I agree. Guess I should have put a /s on the slogan. But it’s still taking a portion of something that is technically owned by one person or group for the betterment of the community.

Some people see that as theft and so would call it stealing even though there isn’t a law against it. My point is that this question is asked from a particular vantage point and what constitutes theft and the law may be different from one person to another.
