Nah. If Biden does something truly evil he loses the election. It has to be something that makes a point in a way the majority of the voting population understands.

/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.

There must be some sort of malicious compliance that Biden can do that isn't evil. Maybe ordering federal employees to camp out on the lawns of Scotus justices?

This is so stupid. It's the "swift boat", "but her emails", "hunters laptop" of the 2024 election.

Let's play a game and imagine the worst cast scenario if the worst hyperbole is correct about Biden and Trump. Worst case Biden: Harris become president via 25A Worst case Trump: project 2025 and dictator not just on day 1

Trump gets indicted on over 80 felonies and convicted of 34 thusfar. The right doubles down. Biden has a poor debate performance. The left "panics". That's why this election is close.

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.

To me, it feels like betrayal from progressives. I am a centrist, a disillusioned ex Republican who decided to support whomever won Democrat primaries despite my policy differences with them. Even progressives! I thought we had a coalition. But as soon as it gets tough, they abandon the fight.

Once again, I think there should be like 75 or more Justices, and they just pick a random panel of 9 for every case, with the possibility of a larger "en banc" panel when things go awry. SCOTUS could grant more cert petitions that way too.

I made a diagram trying to show how the Trump crimes roll up. The red statute is what he got convicted 34 times for. All the blue stuff is stuff he had to intend but didn't have to actually do The jury had to be unanimous that at least one of the three unlawful means were present, but not which one.
