So hey, I know one candidate is old, but has the other guy done anything lately, like promising to imprison or kill his opponents, hold politicized military tribunals, exile people for their skin color, deny them healthcare or the right to marry? Anything like that? Sure would be nice to know!

This. Dems have to learn message discipline. If the political media want to make this election all about Biden's age they cannot let them. They must find ways to redirect back to Trump and SCOTUS extremism.

The point I’m making is either fitness matters or it doesn’t. If it matters then hammer Trump’s fitness. If it doesn’t, then why would you adopt a right wing talking point? Or is your argument that we just accept the double standard and work within it?

Amazing that the guy who tried to overturn the 2020 election in a violent insurrection, has been credibly accused of sexual assault, convicted of 24 fel0nies and promises to end US democracy as we know it is not being asked to demonstrate fitness of office.

New from me: The Supreme Court — in addition to granting Trump broad immunity — is slowly breaking the EPA, eroding its ability to write new climate rules, respond to public comments, and punish companies that pollute the air and drinking water.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

This is not my area of expertise, so I generally dont know the specifics of solutions here. What content of "judicial reform" would attend to this? Really seems like what actually has to happen is a way of structural curtailing SCOTUS's power, whatever that would look like.

Easy to lose sight of the significance here, but the sitting president just gave a speech condemning the Supreme Court for a ruling that expands presidential power. It’s also a president who stands to benefit from this ruling, given that his opponent is vowing to imprison him and his family.
