I’m not a reporter but I did have a blogroll once, so here’s some follow-ups for the former president that seem important: which parts of Project 2025 do you disagree with? Would you appoint anyone to your admin that is supporting it? How do you feel about the “bloodless if the left allows” comment?

I responded to a text request for $ by noting that of course I'll vote for Biden if he's the nominee but that I think it would be best for the country were he to step aside and let Harris run the vigorous race that the moment demands. So that ought to resolve things. You're welcome.

Oh, come on. Do the effing reporting. Links in thread below to well known info. that contradicts the claim that Wash.Post credulously repeats here. Additionally, Trump has a record as President that itself reflects key aspects of Project 2025, especially Schedule F.

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

Just look at the actions of his own administration (particularly schedule F), and at who would serve in a Trump II admin. There is no distance between Trump and Project 2025.

Agreed. I do think it would be best for Biden to step aside so that Harris can run the vigorous campaign that the moment demands while Biden focuses on the presidency. BUT, I fully agree that most of the media are missing the real story: the would-be dictator and his many powerful enablers.

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.

As a constitutional scholar, I am well aware of the serious headwinds and challenges facing the US on the nation's birthday. It will be bad, whatever happens in the Fall elections. But I also know enough US history that resistance is not futile and we have many historical models of it.

This is what the SCOTUS immunity ruling, Trump’s authoritarian promises, threats to the electoral system, the multi-pronged attack on universities, and the attack on reproductive rights have in common.

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.

5/5 If Biden decides to withdraw, he should just say something like, "Being president is a full-time job. Campaigning for the presidency is a full-time job. I'm too old to work two jobs, so I'm going to focus on the one I was elected to do. Vote Harris in November!"

This is a perfect demonstration of the utter lawlessness of the Roberts opinion (both the reasoning of the opinion itself and the conduct that it rewards and encourages).

I suspect he’ll argue that some of the testimony came from his time in the WH and thus couldn’t be used given the truly unhinged Roberts opinion. (The evidence component was the one part on which even Amy Coney Barrett could not get on board, hence her concurrence).

Jackson Reffitt's puzzlement about how Trump can be immune.
So many judges who presided over Jan6 cases, including some Trump appointees, have talked about accountability for those who duped Jan6ers into throwing their lives away.

I joke a lot about my capacity for despair, but there's enough Catholic discipline in my youth to remember that it is in fact a sin, one that absorbs all the best in you more comprehensively than a tar pit. I left the church ages ago, but I held onto that cable: despair is not a long-term good.

“The law is ours now.” I think that’s a huge part of the message, and explains how Trump and MAGA still claim with a straight face to support law and order. I also see a parallel to MAGA and Trump talk re free speech and civility. The message is: OUR right to say whatever we want is … 1/
