it's disorienting to realize that no one under 25 was of voting age in 2016.

wait, that article isn't even about the latest epstein/trump revelations. so isn't OP's point still valid? where's the articles from this past week about the recent epstein news and how easy is it to find without directly searching for it?

I take your point, but I don't see that article linked anywhere on NBC's front page or US News section

The Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority didn't happen overnight. This is the inside story of how Leonard Leo built a machine that reshaped the American judiciary and legal system.

one very clarifying thing to realize is that AI (really LLMs) do not give you an answer to your questions. they can only give you words in the shape of an answer.

my main issue with this take is that the FedSoc 100% already has the legal cases mapped out to escalate to SCOTUS.

if your mystery candidate could crush Trump, then surely they'd be able to win a primary against Clinton or Biden as well?

/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.

I think an under-explored angle to this ruling is that SCOTUS seems disturbingly confident that Trump will in fact be the next president.

let's also mention that they aren't even the real end boss, they're doing this on behalf of others. the FedSoc being the most obvious one to point to.

this is why diversity matters! a well -rounded organization must have people of different backgrounds and lived experiences. race and gender often can be a shortcut to achieving that, but sometimes it's as simple as "did you go to public school?".

yeah no arguments there, but i hate when voters act like they have no agency or self-preservation instinct. 2016 should have proved once and for all whether "lesser of two evils" is an important voting strategy.

I have said since 2016 that Trump's big political breakthrough was being the first person to capture "stupid assholes" as a single voting bloc. and this wasn't some devious plan, it's just because he's one of them.

yeah it's very weird to realize that anyone 25 and under was not of voting age in 2016. then there's another age range where they simply have no meaningful memory of the before-trump times. no context for how bad things have really gotten and can still get.
