One of the most perverse parts of the post-debate discourse is that Trump became increasingly incoherent over the course of the debate, but nobody seems to care because nobody expects Trump to know what he's talking about to begin with.

The phrase "malefactors of great wealth" is very fine I think. We should bring it back into common usage seeing as how this perfectly describes the billionaire scumbags who are trying to destroy society to keep a number on a spreadsheet going up.

My favorite line about war applies here: "The aggressor is always peace-loving... he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." No man, if you're trying a revolution against the Constitution of the United States, pro-Constitution Americans aren't going to simply get out of your way. Hard no.

I agree. At some point momentum simply takes over and it’s nearly impossible to reverse. It feels like that’s where we are.

The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I realize the whole “let them enforce it” notion is thrown about to basically say “well make me then” but is not the Executive branch empowered to choose to enforce/not enforce questionable legalities if for no other reason than to place a check on the Judiciary?

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

Agree. Let the media try to explain why it’s not a valid argument.

Here it comes. The next part of the ongoing and accelerating coup. if the democrats try to replace Biden the republicans will not allow that person to appear on the ballots. We are in a coup this is not politics.

1/ I'm agnostic as to whether Biden should withdraw from the race. It's a genuinely tough question IMO. But I have clarity on one thing: He should absolutely not step down as president. If Harris becomes President, the Vice Presidency is empty. Under the 25th Amendment ...

There’s a solid argument for him not stepping down now, no replacement VP nominee would get a majority of votes, making Mike Johnson VP, and the temptation for political violence to elevate him to the presidency might be extremely high in certain circles

If Biden and the Dems are serious about anything they've said in the last 48 hours they need to let everyone know the plan for: 1) The GOP House refusing to cooperate in ratifying an election he wins(yes they will) 2) SCOTUS refusing to let his admin function 3) the undoing of rule of law

Umm. Why do they need to tell us that as though it were in question? Biden is president until the inauguration, full stop. That they feel the need to say this is unnerving.
