OK but if Warner is worried about Biden losing (or Trump winning), where’s he been? He’s been more vocal about the threat of Tik Tok than the threat of Trump. He’s willing to go to the extraordinary measure of pushing out the Dem candidate last minute, but court expansion was too drastic for him.

I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

So is this part we repeat history almost a century later and start regarding the NYTimes as less of a “trusted news source” and more “a vital part of the fascist propaganda machine”?

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Getting real tired of folks who act like saying you'd rather be shot in the foot than shot in the head means you're extolling the virtues and benefits of being shot in the foot, like, in general.

And like, not to be pointing out the obvious, but isn’t it _good_ if entitled billionaire oligarchs are unhappy with the candidate? What they want in a president is not what would be good for the huge majority of people.

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year.

There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes.

Like, if you're craven enough to get to a point where you could reasonably make a run at beating an incumbent president in a primary, you know how to smell blood in the water, and the stench would be incredible. Still, nobody did. Hell, nobody even floated it.

Sometimes selfcare on social media is blocking racists and fascists, but sometimes it’s just blocking some dude absolutely going to the mat insisting that random Americans refer to the new PM of England according to the obscure titular rules of the British aristocracy.

With regard to former Sec. of Defense Mark Esper’s chilling account that then-President Trump wanted troops confronting protestors in Lafayette Park to “shoot them in the legs”, I’d love to hear someone ask the follow up question whether Trump understood that people would fall & get hit in torso.
