As to the first half: yes, that's the point of this post. As to the second half: his moral and political failure on Gaza is obvious and overwhelming and at the foreground of any discussion, but obviously cannot fit in every 300 character post made about Biden or the election. Rest assured I know.

Remember, if you're angry at the supreme court setting themselves up as dictators, don't protest at their homes, focus on organizing to defeat them the next time they're up for reelection.

You think you just fell out a coconut tree? Men make their own history, but they don't make it as they please; they don't make it under self-selected circumstances but under circumstances existing already. You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.

I'm sure we'll all debate this soberly and reasonably as concerned adults with good faith intentions, equally worried about the stakes of the election and merely disagreeing about the best path to denying Trump a return to office.

Not a peep from the president or the secretary of state as its largest recipient of military assistance in postwar history does exactly what we condemn Russia for doing.

"will the House confirm a new VP for President Harris" is a live question, but worth remembering that the GOP House's margins are exceptionally small and they've been terrible at discipline the past couple of years. Not that it's not a hurdle, it's just I think not an insurmountable one.

"But unfortunately Trump is propped up by a cult of personality whose members will not abandon him no matter what he does, and if Biden is unfit to debate and campaign, then he is also not fit to govern."

I don't know whether Biden should step down at this point or not, but I'm not convinced that because 1968 went poorly for Democrats the same would be true this time. Biden's age is not an ideological issue splitting the party in the same way that Vietnam was

The Supreme Court just gave the greenlight for state, county and municipal criminalization of homelessness. The increased negative framing and punitive social norms toward poverty and homelessness are going to lead to more assaults and murders of unhoused people.

“The President of the United States would be liable to be impeached, tried, and, upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes or misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law.” couldn’t be clearer!

the more justices added to the court the less impactful any one of them is and if the Supreme Court ends up 100-members strong with every president adding a half-dozen, that's fine

under the opinion in trump v. united states there was no need for john yoo to come up with an elaborate justification for torture. george w. bush could have ordered an interrogator to crush the testicles of a child, no questions asked.

And even though bribery is one of the few enumerated “high crimes and misdemeanors” eligible for impeachment, apparently you could no longer prosecute him for it even if removed from office??
