I hoped for more from the interview tonight. "Democrats’ tendency to panic is also blamed. But the problem is real. The country is talking about Biden’s mental capacity instead of the singular menace of Trump returning to power. And if this keeps up, that is exactly what will happen."

Really? So a bit like voting then? It seems like the same defeatism, to be honest.

We’re not going to let Trump deny he’s going to implement Project 2025. It’s written by people from his administration, and all about what he would do in office.

We must bang on the details, not the Project 2025 name, which is too easy to deny. Let's set the narrative and keep him on defense. "The same people who picked Trump's SCOTUS nominees are now telling him to dismantle the DoJ". Then move to "unitary executive theory" etc and keep 'em dancing.

The fear and lack of empathy that creates gated communities, HOAs aka attempts to shut out reality, has expanded to city level. And SCOTUS just gave those cities authority to criminalize houseless existence. Meanwhile systemic inequality shits ever greater numbers on to the streets.

This report of the same story comes from the folks who uncovered the websites and became a target of the guy behind the scheme: John Mark Dougan, a treasonous fuck if ever there's been one. This is well worth the read.

Yeah, Lincoln Project, this is not cool. I stopped using "Gym Jordan" after a sexual abuse survivor explained how such remarks are unwelcome. But making an advert including a shower scene to suggest rape, is on an entirely different level.

Chilling stuff to hear from the ideological leader of a radicalized minority. They will not succeed in their "revolution", whether "bloodless" or not. At least they're saying out loud. No-one can say they did not know.

Hah! Sometimes there's a silver lining.
Trump's sentencing for the election fraud case that happens to involve a porn star, will now be in September, mere weeks before the election.

If he did it to further the interests of the United States then fair enough I suppose. And since we're not allowed to question his motives, we must presume he did it for us, His Majesty's loyal subjects.

Ironic much? (Gifted article)
I'm rather sick of this founding father "genius" thing. The system they created just made the King they never wanted.
And don't get me started on the wording of the 2nd amendment or the structure of the Senate.

Signed checks to Cohen while in office and those acts may now be considered official (because using a pen to sign things is an essential Presidential act, and we cannot question his motives)

Trump uses his Constitutional authority to command the killing of someone in the name of national security. His motives cannot be questioned. The guy happens to be on 5th Ave.

Unfortunately, multiple counts were for signing checks, while in the Oval Office. Is signing checks an official act? The courts will now need to decide.

No! Explains the other guy's point, that the RW attempt to immunize capitalism from criticism by blaming it on the elite, like Gates and Clinton. How on earth you concluded from my comment what you did, is a mystery to me.

[Trump to VP in prescence of supporters]: "Mike, I command my supporters to murder you" [Supporters murder Mike Pence] SCOTUS: "The consultation with VP was an official act and cannot be used as evidence. And the supporters are mere executors of said official act and thus are also immune"

Now I've read key portions of the ruling I see they've gone *way* overboard, banning even the discussion of official acts or their motivations, from being used in cases where he's not immune. That is fucking nuts and seems designed to undermine Trump's prosecution here.

I agree. Especially as they didn't decide on those merits. Rather they've gone for another broad ruling that is more policy making than interpretation of the law. Still, the fact they did not dismiss Trump's indictment means it could have been worse.

What are you all thinking about the immunity decision? I seem out of sync with most commentators. Had it been no immunity whatsoever, there would be court cases accusing Biden of genocide. Or had it been total immunity, Trump would be off the hook. So I don't think it's SCOTUS worst decision.

You might want to question who is fuelling those rumors. That energy is coming almost exclusively from Republicans and those who have never wanted Biden. That Axios article is absolute junk. Imagine citing an 'abruptly' shutting door, to imply some nefarious purpose. Ridiculous!

The debate is a speed bump already in the rear view mirror. Seems to me the only folks still clambering for Biden to step aside are those who never wanted him in the first place and Republicans.
