With all the other zone-flooding shit at the moment, it's easy to miss that nobody in Hollywood wants to release this supposedly excellent film about Trump because they assume, if he gets elected, he'll use the federal government to persecute them for a negative portrayal.

No, of course not. All Im saying is that pointing out to reactionaries that their policies are unpopular won't faze them a bit, because they don't care about popularity, only power.

Gorsuch is sitting in Merrick Garland’s seat. Barrett’s confirmation was rushed through two weeks before an election. Kavanaugh is a credibly accused rapist with magically disappearing debts. Alito signals he’s not impartial. Thomas takes bribes. This Supreme Court is illegitimate.

I'm not reassured. The ongoing reactionary project has *never* given a damn that they do not represent the will of the majority. They believe they are our "betters" and the only obligation of the rest of us is to shut up and do as we are told.

Yes, especially King George. My Leonard Leo-approved originalist reading of the Constitution is that American Revolutionists wanted kings to crush upstart colonialist uprisings like their own. 🙄

That avoids a messy open convention and doesn't alienate black women. But is Harris a better match up against Trump than Newsom, Whitmer or Shapiro? I don't think so.

This is what it's been about all along. Step 1: Buy the judges. Step 2: Rile up the base with lies about immigration and abortion so they won’t care about tax cuts. 3. Then move all regulatory authority from civil servants with expertise and independent judgement to corrupt and incompetent judges.

The Democratic Party’s reaction to their candidate having a bad debate substantially outpaces the Republican Party’s reaction to their candidate being convicted of multiple felonies, held liable for rape, and owing judgments in the hundreds of millions for defamation and fraud.

It's more likely that the right wing majority will carve out a small area of immunity, which will require the case to be remanded just for hearings and briefing on that issue, thereby *guaranteeing* that the merits of the case against Trump cannot be tried before the election.

It's only bribery if you do it in front of a notary, shake hands with the special bribery handshake, and recite the words "this bribe of current market value $5000 or more is for a corrupt action you otherwise would not perform" and the official responds "thank you for your bribe for my corrupt act"

Okay, he's good as a demagogue, I'll give you that. But he would never have the competence to implement his various evil plans if there weren't a bevy of billionaires, a compromised SCOTUS, Christian Nationalists, and fascists, all using him as the empty vessel to get what they want.

That's giving Trump too much credit. As a malignant narcissist who is incapable of giving the tiniest damn about any person or thing other than himself, his only "policy" is whatever he thinks, in the moment, benefits him personally.

He refused only because he's gay, and trans is too close for comfort. As with most right-wingers, bias against all groups is encouraged, except for bias against the group they belong to.

We shouldn't hesitate to call Trump a malignant narcissist, since he more than meets the DSM definition, and it alerts the unsuspecting that the "boldness" and "aggressiveness" they so admire are symptoms of a world view that truly doesn't give a damn about any person or thing other than themselves.
