The Constitution actually has a really tried and tested mechanism for dealing with presidents dropping dead on the job. Or even before they've really started it. You know what it's having a hard time with? Would-be autocrats no one seems to be willing to rein in

I mean, Trump is an insane felon rapist and a lot of people still voted for him. There’s no rule that says we have to honorably give a shit about if our candidate comes off as slightly addled, especially when we’ve got a perfectly good VP who can take over as soon as he makes it past the post.

I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

This is marvelous. Class action alleges Walmart systematically puts one price on the shelf, and charges a little more at the cash register. Walmart claims consumers can see the prices actually charged, so no harm. CA7 rejects.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

Harris a) likely can’t actually run at this point in most states and b) loses literally all the war chest and infrastructure that is currently the Dems dominant advantage. So… there literally is maybe one person who might be able to be a stronger candidate but it’s someone they don’t want.

Additionally the problem they are screaming about doesn’t match the solutions they are demanding. Can’t serve four more years? Okay that’s why we have a VP. Afraid he is a weak candidate? See point above but also name who is stronger and who we can get in there- keeping in mind that anyone but…

I lived in London at the end of The Troubles; I think that the IRA committing to a peace process with Sinn Féin as their political arm was a great victory all round. That the Tories betrayed the people of Northern Ireland with Brexit should be our great shame, and I am not surprised by this result.

This is particularly important to understand because Trumpist authoritarianism is the descendent of Jim Crow far more than say Hitler or Pinochet or Orban, and it's going to look a lot more like 1930s Mississippi than 1930s Berlin.
