We ultimately rejected Taney’s decisions. We can do the same to Roberts.

The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Got a lot of Brit friends over here on Bluesky, so to all of you, I wish you an awesome and patriotic 4th of July! Send those Tories packing tomorrow and take your country back. Looking forward to returning to a kingdom that has returned to sanity.

Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

I agree he's not a great speaker, and worse than he was. But have folks considered there are two sides to communication? Maybe all the people who haven't taken in what amazing accomplishments there have been despite the odds have not been listening very well?

So whatever you think of the alternatives (other than "Generic Democrat" or "Ignoring Harris" and its impact), using LBJ as a model is less than convincing. The party lost and we ended up with the Watergate guy. Old enough to remember it. Not great.

Think about the baselines here. Taney inherited a vile political system and dedicated his career to perpetuating it. Roberts inherited a system that, although flawed on any number of dimensions, sought to uphold a modest version of democratic equality. He's dedicated his career to dismantling it.

So if Biden were as unethical and anti-democratic as the previous guy, what might he do with the new powers conferred by the Supreme Court?

Mr. Lennington may be correct, but not sure he understands that the Declarers owned slaves, didn't let Catholics open schools, and didn't even tolerate all Protestant denominations. So if the anti-DEI stuff is in line with the Declaration of Independence....
