Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

Remember: Texas is not a red state. Texas is a massively voter-suppressed state, with a lot of people working very hard and very thanklessly to fix that.

I *almost* bought Starfield. There's many reasons to follow Phil but saving $50 on a bad game to then spend on BBotE is a delightful unintended outcome.

âFaced w/the choice of another four years of Biden/Harris or the gravy train of Trump, the press has openly picked Trump. Even before the debate, the media studiously minimized Trumpâs criminal convictions, fascist rantings, verbal diarrhea & his use of language literally out of Hitlerâs playbook.â

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

Abusing the legal system is now a key tenet of conservative thought and action. They have unlimited money and wasting legal fees is the only downside of filing frivolous lawsuits (many of which will succeed anyway if they get in front of the right FedSoc judge)

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.
