Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

Watching left wingers continue to gripe that Bernie Sanders was "rat fucked" by a bunch of candidates with no shot at winning dropping out and endorsing biden is just bewildering "our guy could've won as if he didn't need a majority of the votes! The screwed him by making him need a majority!"

It's "I, for one, welcome our new ant overlords" in the wild

the fourth estate is fucking kneeling in advance and that is, i think, worth a lot more discourse than whether the only non-fascist in the race is an old man, which he is.

here’s the fucking enraging thing about this: this is not what the newspapers and the magazines of the world are telling you. it’s not even a partisan thing to call this out. objectively, a second trump term means we all live in a different country than any of us have ever lived in. but, biden old.

there is no fucking “after” if trump wins again. there is america as we know it now, and there is post-america. that’s the choice. you aren’t voting for president, you are voting for the country you have always known, or one you’ve never known.

it's not like this stuff ever stopped existing, but the past 8 years have absolutely made people think they have permission to just put it out there.

Forget that: Qualified immunity, baby "A member of the executive branch has a right to presume that the President's orders - given after the President has presumably gotten the benefit of able counsel - are lawful."

There is also every reason to think that this court will expand Trump v. U.S in his second term to extend immunity to those doing his bidding. I.e., “Our holding in Trump v. U.S. demands that government officials be able to enact the will of the executive without fear of criminal proceedings.”

the first, second and third most important news stories this week are about the SCOTUS decision, and every columnist spending their time talking about biden old is telling you what they value. we don’t have to indulge them, though, stop your subs, stop clicking, stop talking about them.

'We'll kill you if you try to stop us' is terrorism.

Immunity doesn't mean that the courts will actually treat the action as valid. Just that Biden wouldn't be prosecuted. A court can turn around and say no, the student debt remains owing It can't unshoot a protester

If this is what's waiting for us on the other side of January, why SHOULDN'T Biden use immunity to cancel student debt?

Florida prosecutors knew Epstein raped teenage girls 2 years before cutting deal, transcript showswww.kare11.com Florida prosecutors heard graphic testimony about how Epstein sexually assaulted teenage girls two years before they cut a plea deal, according to transcripts.

Saw a post recently about how yesterday's decisions woke someone up to how important voting is, as the only way to get the right type of judges onto SCOTUS, & consciously restrained myself from posting a deeply unhelpful "IT TOOK YOU UNTIL NOW TO GET THIS" that bubbled up from my soul. Please clap.

being open about this stance is, with all sincerity, a very good thing.

You’re right. I am not going to denounce my employer for taking a line I disagree with because I would be fired. I think it is more valuable to not be fired and express my disagreement without denouncing my employer. This is a moral compromise I have made and can live with.

Over the weekend, one of the major party presidential candidates promoted the idea of trying a former congresswoman for treason with televised military tribunals, and I’ll bet you haven’t seen a news article—much less a catastrophizing op-ed—about it.
