She will try. But could one possible fallout be that it'd end up in a less friendly court?

I don't know if I fully agree with her, it seems a bit preposterous, but she was there in Germany and I was not. But I agree with that last sentence.

Is this is about the liberal minority, or are they smashing two clauses that are demonstrable lies together in that headline?

The best thing we have going for us at this moment are American brownshirts are brainrot car dealers and real estate agents and the Carlsons and Rufos and not a generation of men totally broken in the WWI trenches. On the other hand, all of these new guys have access to full-blown machine guns.

If she was running, she'd have a full schedule of public events and rallies that make her more accessible than at any other time. I think Biden is still dispositioned to finish his term and none of his advisors are going to advise him step down and leave them on the street.

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

"Don't worry, if the president imprisons his political enemies, you can still get a writ of habeas corpus." "But to prove that's why you've been imprisoned requires proof of..." "Presidential motive!" "And under Trump v US, presidential motive is..." "Inadmissible!"

It's from a March 1990 Playboy interview months after the Chinese government killed hundreds and possibly over a thousand pro-democracy students. A real sociopath that John Roberts wants to hand the gatling gun from PREDATOR to.

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

It's the American electoral cheat code. It's always been there, ready to be picked up. And it usually gets keyed in when white people are doing better than normal.

I am thinking of my favorite quotation I ever read about law, judges, and the like, and it is: "The law is whatever I write on a piece of paper." Nicely simplifies all the sophistry that goes into "settled law" and its pretensions and the like. Anyway this is the guy who said it.

Thinking back to how Trump was, "Mighty nice GSA there, be a real shame if anything happened to it" when the issue of his DC hotel came up. Seems quaint compared to the obvious looting that is on the horizon.

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

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.

Biden is too old. But he has surrounded himself with competent people and has had a conventional first term. Trump is authoritarian but inept. He has surrounded himself with people he hopes will make him more effective at authoritarianism. Neither is ideal. But these are not similar problems.

This debate is a prime example of how profoundly we are ill equipped to deal w/the rise of authoritarianism. Letting blatant lies fly. Doing nothing to follow up on lies & ignoring questions. Normal rules don't apply. We need to think--CLEARLY--about the best ways to clear the air & support truth.

Trump has not prepared in a meaningful way. Hopefully, but doubtful, Biden's team prepared some rakes for him to step on.

Did you ever hear about The Onion's creative workflow? Writers and Onion alums drop proposed headlines into a Google Doc anonymously and then it gets winnowed down by the group, stories written and then reviewed to see if they held up. Collaborative in a way I had never heard of before.

Assistant coach gets shitfaced before The Big Game and smashes into an SUV carrying a rambunctious 8yo and his single mother. He gives a pair of Big Game tickets to smooth things over only for a busy-body reporter to connect the accident to the pair and coach. Confession, redemption and love follow.
