Don’t pick a fight with this guy. He knows Mo Rocca personally.

That’s how I feel about the Project 2025 nonsense. It’s entirely possible, if not probable, that Trump has no fucking idea what Project 2025 is. He’ll do it regardless if his people put it in front of him.

We’re at the point where this guy is using ellipses during his big video threads to avoid quoting Biden’s mistakes directly. I know it’s coming from a reasonable place of fearing Trump will get elected, but I don’t think this is sustainable.

Porn is also acceptable to push into the black market. The big players in liquor and gambling are already at the table. Porn isn’t and isn’t nearly as lucrative.

As drugs become legal, you need another commonly used vice to make illegal so you can target the users your political coalition demands. I would be shocked if law enforcement wasn’t explicitly behind the push to criminalize menthol cigarettes.

There is no depth to which Jonathan Turley will not sink. He’ll say that Trump will never do the outrageous things Trump threatens to do, and that there are laws in place to prevent it, then when Trump does them he will say the laws don’t apply and that Trump was forced to do the things by woke.

to put a sharper point on this, the President’s power to pass an executive order regulating emissions is severely hampered. his power to use the DOJ or the military to regulate emissions is nearly unlimited

Sorry to all my lawyer friends who spent a bunch of time learning how law works in the US. I had friends who were Flash developers and things turned out alright for them after they pivoted to C# or whatever. Hopefully there's an equivalent for our national legal system

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

I didn’t realize this was a pronouncement of the Editorial Board of the Opinion Section of the Times. You’re right. This is now dogma.

Also, “hide the sausage” or whatever is some middle-school-ass shit. If you don’t want to have sex with a beautiful, famous woman with huge boobs, that’s on you. You’re the bad guy.

This is an astounding misunderstanding of Trump. He is an opportunistic celebrity. He believes in nothing. There are absolutely ‘true believers’ cultivated now in HIS party that would take the steps he was unwilling to take.

I don’t want to switch Avatars, Simply Ed, I want to switch candidates before the convention. I don’t particularly like any of these people but I am willing to take the warning of existential catastrophe to our Democracy seriously enough that winning this Presidential Election is essential. Are you?

Well obviously Kamala? Was that not evident? The VP assumes the Presidency and runs as a pseudo-incumbent. The bombs are already falling. All of these politicians are woefully insufficient for the moment. We are in deep deep trouble. I would much rather Kamala than Weekend at Bernie’s Joe Biden.

I don’t know man. I didn’t create this counterfactual! Who’s above Trump that can even replace him? No idea! I would bet my life on the fact that if Obama called on Joe to resign and make way, it would happen. Within days.

I understand what the column posits. It’s ludicrous. He isn’t POTUS and also a private candidate to become POTUS. He’s the fucking President. In your brain, is the concern a bad debate performance and not cognition generally? It’s definitely the latter for me.

Biden would probably have to resign at this point to make a succession credible. Either Kamala or someone she blesses as President.

Do….do you think a different Republican nominee would not want to gut all federal regulation? Is your position that the Times should be demanding a better advocate for mass detention and executions? Is Democracy on the line? Is this the most important election in history? What do you want man?
