The Heritage Foundation “don’t make us kill you, Democrats” statement may mark one of those moments people will read about in 100 years (hopefully!) and think to themselves “why didn’t they freak out when they heard the extremists say that?” (Sadly, it’s just not how humans work most of the time)

I wonder what would happen if Biden showed up for his interview and just answered every question with some variation on “My memory isn’t what it uses to be, but I remember that court documents showing Donald Trump raped 12 year old children dropped last week.”

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

At this point just let me know who is running for president: if it’s Biden, I’ll vote for him, if it’s Kamala, then I’m coconut-pilled. Hell, a cabbage outlasted Liz Truss. I’ll vote for the cabbage. But please, I can’t handle people who discovered politics yesterday arguing over this any longer

when you vote for President you are voting for a coalition rather than a person. the right understands this very well, which is why evangelicals lined up behind Trump.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

The Heritage Foundation is taking its victory lap in advance. Pay attention if you don't want to live in Gilead. GOTV to get everyone off the bench because the January 6th crowd is coming for us. Go to IWILLVOTE-DOT-ORG to make sure you're still on the voter rolls because Team Blue needs us all.

very interesting. The president is now telling doctors to defy the law in order to provide emergency abortions. If the White House and Biden decide to actually play hardball, there’s a chance he might win the election. Big ifs here with massive implications but, we are living in historic times.

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.

Question: If Biden tells all federal agencies to ignore SCOTUS’ recent rulings and to enforce regulations to the maximum extent, is that an official act? What stops him from saying to the EPA “I don’t give a shit what SCOTUS said. Shut down that power plant (or whatever).”

The proper response to SCOTUS gutting Chevron is to say "we aren't doing that shit" and daring SCOTUS to enforce their own shitty opinions.
