Yet another threat. If the north had just sat back and "allowed" slavery to be, there would have been no Civil War. Alas, some goods are just worth fighting for. This threat will not be allowed to pass unanswered.

Okay, no. I'm sorry. I know he has a tough seat, but Golden's op-ed needs to be called out.

Democracy might be fine IF you fit a certain demographic. The rest of us? Yeah, it's not going to be great if Trump wins.

Isn't this one of those powers that can be neutered by SCOTUS decree? If so, someone start a clock to see how long it stays in effect.

If there's going to be a dictator for life in the WH, it needs to be someone who will arrange it so there can never be a republican.

Nobody loves that Joe Biden is 81. It would be great if he was 35. But you know what I really dislike? Authoritarianism. So I humbly beseech people to get a goddamn grip.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

There are MUCH more important implications for the overturning of the Chevron doctrine. But in my aviation world it's gonna be nuts. You have any idea how many hair brained homebuilt aircraft/spacecraft the FAA is keeping grounded? Cuz you're about to find out.

Don't fall for the trap. If Democrats listen to the New York Times and try to replace Biden, the New York Times will have a new narrative: Democrats in chaos. And they will then have 347 stories a week about whoever is the candidate, all focused on how inexperienced and unprepared that person is.

Given the circumstances, dilution of power seems the only reasonable course of action. We cannot allow the usurpers to win.

Keep flooding the zone! Biden sounds fine here. Just has a cold. That whole "don't judge people in their worst moments" is true and we've seen him do just fine earlier this year at the SOTU.

“Oh, and while we’re at it, I’m angry that Trump used “Palestinian” as a racist insult against Biden, and Biden had nothing to say about it. I’m not surprised, since Biden cares just as little for Palestinian lives as Trump, but I’m still angry.”

“I am particularly outraged at being told to excuse genocide on behalf of someone who can barely string a sentence together at the most consequential possible moment.”

Just out of curiosity, how many deaths, on both sides, would it take to make the enterprise not worth doing? How many guns need to be confiscated to have made it worthwhile? And, for the Grand Prize, how will you know you got them all and that you got the right ones?

Correct. The evidence is crystal clear here but partisan hacks act like it points the other way. You might as well assert the Founders were deeply influenced by Shakespeare or Galileo.
