The New York Times ratfucking operation in favor of Trump is so incredibly blatant that it’s beyond parody. If you saw ratfucking like this coming from a newspaper in a movie, you’d probably think it was a bit over the top.

These clowns on CNN are the worst. Just talking about the horse race of the campaign. Not talking about the horrifying impact of what the SC has done. They've already normalized the court's declaration of a monarchical presidency.

Today was ugly. Twice. First, that abysmal, corrupted scotus ruling. Second, got whined at by an 65 year old acquaintance who hated Hillary & voted 3rd party and skipped 2020 and was always annoyed at me prioritizing voting. But, they heard the ruling and decided, "It's personal now."

The Supremes ruled that a POTUS has immunity for actions directly related to his office, but not personal actions (without defining what those are) so Trump is trying to erase his felony convictions by claiming that paying porn stars hush money for sex is “official POTUS business,” as expected

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

In the 1944 election, FDR was not just unable to walk, but suffering from multiple other serious health problems as well. He still cleaned Dewey’s clock. Stay the course, friends. Joe Biden was knocked down, but he’s hardly out. And our Democracy is in the barrel.

I have not forgotten how Stacy Abrams and AOC were admired up until the second they didn't do exactly what online activists wanted them to do Some of the people talking up Gretchen Whitmer these days will turn against her if she does run for president

“By one calculation, deporting 1 million immigrants would lead to 88,000 additional employment losses by other Americans, suggesting that Trump’s program could cost up to 968,000 Americans their jobs on top of the 7.1 million jobs held by immigrants up for deportation.”

In theory, Louisiana Republicans already know their new law mandating Ten Commandments displays in classrooms is at odds with the First Amendment and Supreme Court precedent.
 
In practice, they expect to get away with it anyway. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Very very very grim stuff. For years we've been told that it's too easy for kids to get gender-affirming care. The actual scandal is that it's too hard.

One wonders what they will make of the Trump appointed federal prosecutor's successful prosecution of Hunter Biden now that a guilty verdict has been rendered? and how will they spin it when he is sentenced to prison?

Notice how MAGA conspiracy theories can never be proven false. When new info comes in that cuts against them -- such as Hunter being prosecuted by Biden's DOJ -- the theory is just enlarged. So now the officials who prosecuted Hunter are part of a cabal protecting the Bidens.

Love this Biden-Harris frame. "Most Americans would prefer living in a country where an unhinged felon who has also been found liable for sexual abuse cannot own a firearm." Keep hammering him.
