My opinion is that everyone over the age of 30 is "too old" to "have a job," so yea, Biden should step down

Also the majority of Trump presidency was "pre-pandemic" while the entirety of Biden presidency has been either "pandemic" or "post-pandemic" depending on how you use those terms

Mississippi is the poorest state in the US.

Even though the state gets federal welfare funds, it is difficult to get welfare.

The money was all getting stolen, and they got away with it.

Now the journalists who exposed the story are facing a lawsuit and jail.

Reminder, Donald Trump has never gotten more votes than his opponent in a general election. He lost his first election by 3 million votes and the second by 7 million. The fact that he's a huge fucking loser hasn't stopped him from taking power, but let's not forget he's a huge fucking loser.

Still thinking about this. Judge Chutkan and the DC Cir. have one of the few opportunities anyone is going to get to pare back yesterday’s decision. They have to respond in a way that forces SCOTUS to either back down or completely humiliate themselves. What they CANNOT do …

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

Absolutely wild that the court accuses the dissent of "fearmongering" with "extreme hypotheticals" when the actual basis for the indictment is a coup attempt that led to an attack on the capitol

If the lower court understood the present moment, this would be its response: "The court is surprised this needs to be said, but anything related to a coup attempt is not an official act. That includes all of the conduct in the indictment. Trial begins September 1st."
