It strikes me that my current work task—drafting a reply brief that is effectively just yelling "MODS!!" into the void—is uniquely well-suited for the current moment.

Khive is a bit of a double-edged sword and not necessarily a net positive in this scenario. They have the potential to polarize multiple different necessary constituencies against the candidate.

Naive of us to think that our media betters won't quickly discover Kamala's own emails but when you're being waterboarded you do what you must to make it stop even if that just means next having your fingernails removed.

Most political reporters thrive on palace intrigue. Washington, to them, is a cliquey prep school, and they're the gossip mongers who are always in the know. Some might self-aggrandizingly couch that as "holding power to account," but that's not really their motivation. They'll thrive under Trump.

So that means you believe the ignorant, checked-out, gullible 100k in the tipping point states are going to break for Biden after a few more months' saturation coverage of how demented he is? Not optimistic.

Equally true if you replace "politics" with "Christianity" and "the Founders" with "Jesus." And the same people!

What's surprising to me is that there's not a more prominent/well-funded/popular movement in certain states/regions for exit of some sort. (Not necessarily succession, federalism would seem to give us many alternatives short of that.) If I were still in Cal, I would 100% be part of that movement.

/8 At any rate, congratulations to the Federalist Society for an achievement beyond the reach of the British, outside the grasp of bloody civil war, impossible to Nazis and Soviets and terrorists: defeating the American idea.

Tweeting surely isn't core. So would this evidence (assuming it’s official at all) only be presumptively inadmissable? What does that argument look like?

I can't even follow the logic. Straight male lefties don't talk about their male friends' kinks and therefore don't know how some wish they could enter female-only spaces to pick up women (which explains trans women)? I don't think that's it because it makes so little sense and yet ...

I was shocked when Trump won in 2016. I was shocked watching the planes fly into the WTC. But this somehow feels different. Worse.

The critique imo is justified in some ways but not others. There are indeed limits on what Democrats can lawfully do with their power. But in many instances, they really do appear (at best) not even to try or (at worst) to advance non-Democratic ends.

This. The critique is that Democrats don't do everything in their power to advance Democratic goals (including but not limited to the preservation of democracy) while they are in power. Instead, we get constant demand for our votes (and campaign contributions).

It wasn't "going away" even had the debate performance been flawless. But the narrative is now going to dominate coverage both in the right-wing gutter press and "objective" MSM. I sadly don't think Joe can win anymore. The coverage will make emails look like a single-day one-off on page 12.

It also occurred to me: couldn't you have the best of both worlds by simply having Harris take a more prominent role in the campaign as a president-in-waiting? "I'm going to keep doing this job as long as I capably can, but Kamala is ready to take over at a moment's notice, and she'll be terrific."

Can you speak more to the defense? Which firm represents Apple? Do you know the name(s) of its insurers? Are these personal attacks offered to impair your credibility? To suggest an alternative theory of causation? Something else? I hope you take them to the cleaners!

I was a former CX debater. Returned to my HS to judge a round many years later. Told the contestants in advance: DO NOT SPREAD. They were incapable of it. I ended up chosing a winner by coin toss, but I should have punched the little shits.

The narrative that the MSM has constructed, which will continue to blanket the airwaves, that Biden is a walking corpse who cannot handle the presidency, is going to destroy his candidacy, just like emails did for Hillary, irrespective of its accuracy or anything Biden might do to counter it.

Joe Biden has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. Submit an op-ed to the NYT telling them to go fuck themselves and dare them to run it. And if they don't, give it to WaPO along with an interview.
