Public servant. Union member. I work as a judicial aide for Travis County in Austin, Texas. Opinions are my own, obviously. Beard-free since 1963.

That's how weak he was. He gave up after four terms. He was dying to avoid a fifth term.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, President Biden is leading in fundraising. Biden is leading in campaign infrastructure/ground game. The polls are within the margin of error. All you have to do is vote & get like minded, supporters of democracy, to do the same. That's it. Just vote.

The new owner of the Dallas Mavericks is a Las Vegas casino magnate. Something’s seriously wrong with this picture.

If a single billionaire can legally dump $100 million into an election, when the legal maximum an individual can donate is $3300 — that’s not democracy or a free and fair election, that’s an oligarchy and an auction. The corruption is killing our country.

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.

Regardless of yesterday’s ruling, an AG like Paxton will most definitely make Biden, Cheney, and probably Hillary his highest priorities anyway. I don’t see how anyone can doubt that.

The January 6th charges, as well as the classified documents charges were “official acts.”Regardless of who wins in November, he’s getting off scot-free. Somehow, some way, his NY conviction will be erased. Regardless of the November results.

Quit being a dick and go concern troll somewhere else. I’m not half as smart as any of those entities, but at least I’m not wallowing in abject cynicism. At least I have integrity.

Speaking of centrists, 9% of Democrats nationwide voted for Trump instead of Hillary n 2016. Those cretins have a lot to answer for.

I think “the border crisis” and a bleak future for conservatives demographically speaking, loomed large in this decision. It’s primarily about maintaining white supremacy.

We rightly understand the terrifying implications of yesterday's ruling, but I think maintaining white supremacy is what's at the heart of it. Giving POTUS broad powers to keep America as white as possible for as long as possible.

I think Citizen's United ended that. Or perhaps Bush v. Gore. Nixon forced from office via Watergate all seems quite quaint now.

They're gonna be REAL surprised—or maybe they won't? Who knows?—when Trump disbands SCOTUS as his first "official act" in January of 2025. "Thanks for everything, suckers! Say hello to Chief Justice Jeannine Pirro."

For the past few decades those of us who are left of center have been told to be patient—everything will eventually be okay because demographics are on the Democrats' side. Ah, such quaint times, huh? Welcome to a fascist, apartheid nation. Good times.

Most of us understand the terrifying implications of yesterday's SCOTUS ruling. But the more I think about it, what's at the heart of the majority's ruling is for the president to have broad powers to take whatever means deemed necessary to keep America as white as possible for as long as possible.

Well, he can't. But if he does, and five justices say it's okay, then yes, he can.

I’d actually feel a little better if I heard a few days from now that Biden threw a bottle of ketchup at the wall this afternoon.

How are her priorities different than other well-to-do white Democrats? She’s certainly no class warrior. She’s not in favor of letting every criminal out on the street. What’s to be afraid of?

We don’t know what effect the July 11th sentencing will have, either. If that is in any significant way beneficial to Trump, then I give up, because it would mean certain doom.
