No. This court has already ignored both intent and the black letter of the law. *gestures in the direction of student loan relief*

Again, you literally argued that Trump was better than Clinton. Fuck all the way off until you find a sign that says "No fucking off beyond this point." Then continue to fuck off forever.

Sorry, but you don't get to be that catastrophically wrong, then spend *years* defending defending it--even as everything you were warned about at the time comes to pass--and pretend that you have valuable insight. We told you in 2016 that Trump would be a disaster. You shrugged.

Personally, if I'd written "A Liberal Case for Trump" in 2016, I would absolutely be shutting the fuck up right now. *Especially* if that column explicitly handwaves SCOTUS picks.

Yeah, it's more that we know that those rules don't actually apply to Democrats. SCOTUS will make sure of it.

Don't forget to thank Walker Bragman and every one of those other people that shouted "you can't blackmail me with SCOTUS" back in 2016.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

Hear, hear: “In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump. Trump, 78, has been on the political stage for eight years marked by chaos, corruption, and incivility. Why go back to that?”

You're right, there is no cavalry. But instead of choosing to fight, you're already giving up. Throwing in the towel after the first round is embarrassing, and our side should stop doing it.

All I've been hearing today is "Biden had a rough night, so it's time to give up and move to another country."

I would take them more seriously if they didn't constantly dip into antisemitism and insist that every man who is cut is a mangled monstrosity that can never feel pleasure.

So, what, everybody panic and try to replace Biden on the ticket? Let the fact that literally everything Trump said was a lie slide?

I just wish people on our side wouldn't shit themselves at the first sign of adversity. Biden had a rough night. The other guy ranted like a lunatic.

@linkara.bsky.social What do you think the Marvel U would be like if instead of creating Mar-vel, the company had bought the rights to Captain Marvel & other Fawcett characters? Maybe Fawcett even sells at a loss to screw over DC? What are significant ripple effects?
