Well, the good thing is, SCOTUS is gonna be in recess until October. Wisconsin courts might be okay, I don't know.

I think their legal challenges are BS. As far as Biden goes, his chances got a lot narrower. If he can get out there and do unscripted appearances day after day and look sharp and engaged *every time* then he can say the debate was just a bad day. But if he has one more bad day, that don't fly.

Those legal challenges are extremely dubious, but it does seem like they prefer to keep Biden at the top of the ticket.

For what it's worth, apparently the Heritage Foundation has plans to run legal challenges in key states if Democrats don't put Biden on the ballot.

If Biden wins but Republicans keep control of the House, wouldn't the same logic hold true into the next term?

That was a telling episode. I was told that anti-trans issues were not about hate. They were about "legitimate issues" — women's sports; bathroom shenanigans; children seeing inappropriate content. And then they lost their shit over Dylan Mulvaney, who had nothing to do with any of those things.

It did hurt their profits, and their stock price. And it laid down a marker that the chuds have followed up on and corporations have paid attention to. Let me direct your attention to Tractor Supply Co.

Counterargument: It makes lots of sense to say he's got enough gas left in the tank to finish this term, but maybe not enough for four more years.

McLuhan was right. The medium is the message. A medium with a tight character limit is simply not well-suited to nuanced, thoughtful takes. It's for hot takes, jokes, cat pictures, and links to thought pieces elsewhere.

Yes, when you get knocked down, you get back up. But what about when the other guy never landed a shot and you just fall on your face anyway? Maybe it's time to step out of the ring?

I have to laugh at the Republican claims that Biden's DOJ is authoritarian because they're prosecuting people for trying to overthrow an election. I'm like, motherfucker, in a real authoritarian regime, people who failed a coup would be hanging from lampposts.

I don't remember ever asking how a candidate had earned my vote. I don't know where that notion came from. Something is being decided. You can weigh in or not. You aren't bestowing a gift.

If we used ranked choice voting, we could skip primaries (which only exist to consolidate the party's votes on one candidate).

I am no expert on Thai food, but I've eaten, like, a normal amount of pad thai and tom yum, and chicken satay, and I don't recall any cheese of any sort appearing on any Thai restaurant menu. I always assumed cheese was regarded as gross and weird by Asian cultures.
