The 538 model has the election at like 55% trump. So: toss up. Sabato’s Crystal Ball says the decisive states are currently toss ups. GROW A FUCKING SPINE.

Sorry but I don’t give a fuck about UK politics right now. None of that has anything to do with the US and it portends nothing for the fall. Who gives a shit.

Not at all convinced that’s what happened on that day. In any event, only a small portion of the military was even involved

Probably nothing since a fair amount will be loyal to him since they like him anyway. He’ll have legal protection via scotus and military protection via loyal factions. He’ll be free to open fire on protestors and clean out the military.

I'm still bullish on the US vs the UK long term, but as an aside, I'll gladly take "we pretend to give this guy total authority but if he tries to use it we'll chop HM Royal Head off again" over "the president is immune from all the crimes, as long as he's abusing his official power during them."

I like Elliot but I was surprised he contributed causality in the way he did to a 2 point swing- especially when both men are in the low 40s anyway- I’m not sure how much 2 points matters exactly when undecideds are still almost 20 percent

The double standard is so strange. We live in a polarized environment- does the NYT/CNN understand what Maga has explained away? The amount of cog dissonance theyve resolved? Do they think Dems can’t do that on this one (lesser) occasion?

Partisanship will kick in and people will determine (rightly in my opinion) that a guy who had one really bad night in June and several other mediocre ones is enough justification to vote against an authoritarian who wants to murder protestors and journalists

I guess I just disagree. I make a point to check their front page every few days for the last few months and I see nothing but reputational laundering. The Biden story has been talked about enough already- they’ve more than covered their asses 10x over at this point (if that really is their concern)

As pundits who say they’re concerned about the extraordinary threat of Trump are declaring the things they’re requiring of Biden to regain their confidence, I’d genuinely like to hear a couple of things to continue taking the arguments seriously.

I’m concerned that the media may never relent on this narrative- even if Biden has a complete opposite outcome and crushes the next debate, the fact that he had a bad one once may be inescapable.

On the other hand if the media is just set on pushing the Biden Old narrative, there may be no amount of town halls or speeches that could rectify it

The tenor of conversation on here in recent days is there are hardly any big name publication willing to articulate the threat posed by the SCOTUS ruling. If this is true it feels like we’ve already lost- there are scant other ways to communicate to the masses- this is why I’m hoping they’re wrong

/7 Justice Roberts smug and superior dismissal of the dissents’ concerns seems to come to us via time warp from some time that never knew Trump. The danger of lawlessness he poses are manifest — he and his followers brag of them. Only a liar or fool would dismiss them.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1
