As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

Been in the market for a new coffee joint since my old one closed due to corporate capitalist greed. This one is playing Lou Reed on the sound system, apparently on purpose. High contender

The “fallen men” thing is a giveaway I think. It’s just lightly rinsed christian moralism

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

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

It makes perfect sense if you want to punish people for being poor because your version of christianity posits that poors are not sufficiently godly

Democracies historically teeter on the edge until authoritarianism takes over. The US democracy is nothing special and those forces are just as dangerous to us as they were to ancient ones. It takes vigilance and effort to retain democracy. Ignoring those forces is simply ignorance

It shocks but does not surprise me how powerful recency bias is among the dim. “Things are as they are now, so things will always remain that way!”

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

“Trump only shat himself a little bit and his drooling was only somewhat noticeable. Meanwhile, Biden mispronounced 2 of the 12 Ukrainian generals he mentioned during his extemporaneous overview of the war. So, point Trump I’d say” - some dude on the CNN post-debate chatfest

“What constitutes an official act is an important question and should be examined further. The facts here are difficult and ours was a very close call. But we may find differently on more-clearly defined presidential duties, such as protecting against election fraud.” Alito, J., Concurring
