Trump went on social media and published a literal list of enemies he's going to imprison after he wins.

I gotta say, if you'd ask me to predict whether I would be more disappointed by a fourth BEVERLY HILLS COP movie or a third Ti West porn-and-horror movie, I would not have given the correct answer.

@jasondashbailey.bsky.social I finally caught up with the original Going In Style per your recommendation and am pleased I did! Although I almost screamed at the TV when George Burns is telling his pals they'll still get social security checks if they go to prison.

7/1/2024 will go down as one of the worst days in American history, and this is how the NYT website was covering it yesterday, under seven (7)(VII) articles about Biden's age.

I never thought about it, it was just kinda there: Twitter, as a fairly dependable source of breaking real-time news. Was thinking how Bluesky is not there yet, wishing it was, and realizing all over again that this is *exactly* why Elon broke the motherfucker. We could use it, but ain't have it.

prefacing this by saying my philosophy of quit whining & nut up still applies, but if the biden team can’t hold down the fort with the gormless little weasel brigade of rando dem advisors & backbenchers & media toadies then it’s better to cut bait & kick it to harris because they just love this shit

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

in some senses, Trump is actually exactly the kind of person these conservatives have been waiting for but didn’t quite anticipate, in that his willingness to be so brazenly corrupt allows them to make the kinds of drastic changes to laws and norms they’ve sought for decades

It's a bit problematic how Biden has (a) narrow, limited power to have his agency draw up a student loan forgiveness process consistent with the statutes passed by Congress; but (b) complete immunity to tell everyone at Dept of Edu, "mark those loans as $0 or I'll put you in a pine box."

The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever. Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.

I think what we are starting to see all over the world is a situation where the centrists are being forced to decide if they identify more as progressives or conservatives, but they seem largely in denial about it. There is no happy middle ground between fascism and freedom for them to cling to

The infuriating thing about NYT's focus on Biden's age is that, again, TRUMP IS ONLY FOUR YEARS YOUNGER. The opponent is not some strapping young buck! He's a sundowning elderly man as well! And I know two wrongs don't make a right but TWO WRONGS ALSO DON'T MAKE "LET'S ONLY TALK ABOUT ONE WRONG"

If we're doomed to a second, gloves-off Trump administration, the least Biden can do is use today's SCOTUS ruling to make the full heel turn with the six months he has left. Go nuts with executive overreach, why not, you'll lose the election either way!

White America could not accept a multiracial pluralistic democracy and then a Black dude got elected president to send them over the edge. And now because the “nice” white folks coddled their bigoted kin, we’re all suffering.

Just your occasional rage-inducing reminder that at least one of these last three judges is, by any definition of the word, illegitimate. The first vacancy was created while Obama was still in office; the third was created while Trump was FAR closer to an election that Obama was. Never forget!

The really bitter irony here is that SCOTUS is making the president a king while a Democrat is president. They aren't worried about it because they know Democrats won't accept Biden actually acting the way they are saying he can.
