You could say this about the era preceding nearly every authoritarian government. And Trump has explicitly vowed to remove people who won’t follow his orders and replace them with people who will. Heritage and Claremont are lining up candidates ready and eager to do what he asks.

as a politics knower I think the democrats should simply do the thing that makes it easiest to win, but also aligns with both all my prior posts and all my most panicked recent posts. this is very simple and obvious.

this is one of my least favorite tropes and it is especially ridiculous when the heroes have just shot their way through an army of mooks to get to the villain oh, you can kill 475 henchmen but the guy who is actually responsible for ordering them around is a step too far? do you hear yourself?

Trump’s re-election will mean four hideous years of the GOP playing constant Civil War Chicken at best - as this Heritage Foundation ghoul made clear - and actual civil war at worst. Avoiding that bloody nightmare is a pretty damn good reason to suck it up and vote for Biden.

For the same reason handlers of search & rescue dogs occasionally have volunteers put themselves in a position to be "found" alive in a grim disaster scene -- to keep up morale so that these dogs keep working -- I give you this screen shot from the BOP showing the current location of Steve Bannon.

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

reflecting on the immunity decision a bit, what the Court seems to be saying is that every element of the executive branch is at the President’s disposal, no matter what he wants to use it for. his motives don’t matter. the office is a weapon to be wielded however he sees fit.

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

You have the power relationship between the DNC and the President backwards. Which one is the head of the party? Quit trying to fixate on shadowy conspiracies in the DNC. The party leadership is Biden, Schumer, and Jeffries, and other high-ranking elected members. The DNC works for them.

Anyone who tries seriously to stand up one of these is going to immediately get demands for policy statements, staff vetting, transparency processes, SLAs, etc. You also interject yourself into the middle of every interpersonal dispute that any of your subscribers are even on the periphery of.

I suspect that what the community is expecting from labellers is just ultimately unsustainable. There is probably a model where they can be useful, but not as a drop-in replacement for broad, official service moderation.

I’m not clear on what the new rules are for tipping my Supreme Court justice. When I was a kid, the going rate was 10% of the net gained in a friendly decision, but I hear that it’s crept up to 20% or above. So, Miss Manners, what should I get for the Corrupt 6 when they do me a solid?

You might just need to realign the calipers. Usually needs a 5mm allen wrench and about 60 seconds of fiddling. My brakes would rub every time I had to remount the front wheel until I figured that part out.
