"I love America. I don’t think I have ever loved this country more than I do now. Perhaps my affection has achieved greater clarity in recent years because I have been forced to reconcile all that we stand to lose after all that has been gained."

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Then again, it would blow Trump out of the headlines and he has certainly proven the old saw "There is no such thing as bad publicity."

Warming up to VP Harris. She hits the sweet spots for low turnout Dem's - young, black and female. Publicity should knock Trump off the front pages for a change and running now would be like old times for her - putting another felon away. And guess what - the "old man" issues are on the other foot!

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.

like the ethos of "respectable" DC is completely lawyer brained which approves of making convincing arguments you don't believe. that's not necessarily lying, precisely, but it isn't good faith discussion either!

Anyhow the best time to address the shit was yesterday, the 2nd best time is today. Demand everyone asking for your vote to support packing the court, stop giving your resources to the police, demand public housing, healthcare, childcare, education, transit, food support and a right to privacy.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

What if Biden used his official powers to have the IRS, FBI, and DOJ investigate the Supreme Court justices to find out every penny they’ve ever taken from anyone, ever? Enforcing corruption laws is under his authority. And you can’t question his motive at all.

Nobody loves that Joe Biden is 81. It would be great if he was 35. But you know what I really dislike? Authoritarianism. So I humbly beseech people to get a goddamn grip.

Correct. A prudent, law-abiding President who appoints qualified agency personnel to enact thoughtful regulations is going to see their agenda inevitably fail. A malicious, arbitrary President who runs around barking illegal commands at people will be rewarded.

One thing that annoys me about the Democratic consultant class is how they act like they're brass-knuckle streetfighters and yet don't have the stones to run nonstop ads about Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein. It's all true! It's documented! There are photos!

WE THE PEOPLE are the ones who will have to take down Trump.
Not the courts - they've been corrupted.
Not the media - they're desperate for access and cash.
Not the prosecutors - the courts are stopping them from doing their jobs.
Us, together, this November.

It would seem that "high crimes and misdemeanors" are all covered if they are official acts. What does that leave for impeachment? Liquor store stick-ups? Wife beating?

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

Just a casual reminder that Germans who “didn’t bother to vote” in 1932 didn’t get a chance again until 1946, after Hitler’s death. — There’s a lesson there.

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

He betrayed our national security, compromised our elections, and incited an armed insurrection to overthrow our democracy. He will do so again. Truth matters little to him. What’s right matters even less. And decency not at all. He’s a traitor. Do not normalize Donald Trump.

Don't fall for the trap. If Democrats listen to the New York Times and try to replace Biden, the New York Times will have a new narrative: Democrats in chaos. And they will then have 347 stories a week about whoever is the candidate, all focused on how inexperienced and unprepared that person is.

Did you know? When SCOTUS said in 1937 that the Social Security Act was unconstitutional, President Roosevelt didn’t ask people to vote harder in the next election, he told the Supreme Court he’d add more justices until they backed off, which they did. — We can still do that.

Unfortunately, Trump's preempting of the drug issue kept the Biden team from insisting that Trump submit to one. He did after all beg off of one with his probation office - highly unusual to get away without one. And Trump's WH awash with drugs -- www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
