Without even clicking the link, I’ll guess the reason — all the talk of racism makes white kids feel guilty. Again, if your kids are reading histories of slavery or segregation and identifying with the racists in the story, that suggests you’ve got your own problems to work through. Leave us out.

Biden: pro-NATO, anti-Putin Trump: anti-NATO, pro-Putin It's the starkest and most consequential US foreign policy election in decades, perhaps ever, with America's role as lynchpin of the post-WWII and post-Cold War order effectively on the ballot. And it's barely a factor in the race.

NYT Editor: OpenAI, I need a headline that is simultaneously corporatist, pandering to the sensibilities of the journalist class, and unconvincingly pretending to objectivity by credulously repeating the propaganda of the worst people in America. OpenAI: [becomes Skynet, starts nuclear war]

NY Times: You thought this election might be about an unprecedented convicted criminal running to overthrow Constitutional democracy? You think you decide the narrative? Oh no. That’s our turf. And we say the most important thing in the election—nay, the world—is Joe Biden’s age.

by choosing anyone other than harris to replace biden should he decide to step aside, the party would be revealing they very cynically chose her as veep for optics without believing she could actually be president.

The decision in Trump v. United States means that the future of democracy in this country will be decided in November. The only thing that is left to restrain the president is his impulse control and sense of morality. If the orange one is elected… Thanks, SCOTUS!

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

So to recap, SCOTUS says: * We justices are the executive branch now * The majestic equality of the laws prohibits both rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges * Obstructing the certification of the president after an election is, at least in isolation, very cool and very legal
