NYT ran a story quoting "die hard" Democratic voters who want Biden to drop out, and I'm just wondering how long until we find out one of them was an elected Republican official

They do a pretty good exploration of it in the book, how it started as parody, then it became them, and then they had the moment of self realization and everyone just went away for awhile

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Pretty much every move I’ve ever made in comics since age 25 has been inspired by the 70-year-olds I saw in comic con Artist Alleys, cranking out sketches of characters they created but don’t own, to pay their doctor bills and nursing home fees.

An aspiring dictator & convicted felon w history of treason may win the presidency. Profoundly corrupt SCOTUS justices undermined the constitution and gave him immunity from prosecution for past & future crimes. This is all political journalists should be writing about 24/7. We’re at the precipice.

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

It's as if our press just can't process a threat as grave as Trump. They no longer have the skills or backing from their top editors to grapple with such a grand-scale horror as the death of our democracy. So they've shrunk the issues down to a size they feel comfortable with: Shaming an old man.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).

A thing I like about Sesame Street is that adults are positively and proactively involved in the lives even of kids they're not related to. This is cool and should be normal--being good to kids and helping them grow up should be a whole society's responsibility.

imagine turning our journalistic resources investigating how the Supreme Court decided it could rewrite the Constitution. Or, if you wanted to do the inside baseball thing, who supports court reform or impeachment for the justices. Like what third tier Dem wants to put 50 justices on the bench

I keep coming back to "all this for literally Donald Trump," but it fits. There's not some more competent aspiring autocrat who'd somehow "earn" or "win" this. This is how it has always gone: feckless/evil elites attaching themselves to the sociopath they believe will get them where they want to go.

Ought to pound this every hour, every day right alongside Dobbs. Biden's age is nothing compared to the lawless Supreme Court trying to make criminals of pregnant women while offering a rapist free rein. Any Democratic commentator who thinks otherwise needs to hit the showers.

Mike Johnson’s rebuttal to Biden was basically “presidents won’t do criminal stuff because they might not get reelected” you can do a lot with four years of criminality. Like imprison your rivals. Something SOMEONE has already mentioned. Kind of takes care of the reelection issue.
