Occasional politics, the New York *sigh* Jets, behavioral psych, fantasy sports, and other general nonsense. Coming up from air after years on The Other Place. Making Commanders fans feel better about themselves since 2014

Taraji P. Henson “used her incredible platform to issue a warning and to repeat it again and again throughout the night: that a Donald Trump GOP win in November will undermine our fundamental rights.” www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Trump’s new Big Lie that he doesn’t know about Project 2025 might take him downwww.inquirer.com Republicans are in a state of panic now that voters are paying attention to Project 2025, their plan for dictatorship. They should be.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

Imagine being the kind of LibDem jackass who'd hang out with Jo Rowling and then have to sit there, petrified, while she, three bottles deep, starts burbling at you about crossdressing.

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.

Fans blast camera angle for USMNT-Uruguay Copa América matchdlvr.it The USMNT’s match against Uruguay in the Copa América Group C Finale barely got underway Monday night when livid fans began complaining about the FS1 broadcast. Fans blasted the extremely high camera placement at Kansas City’s GEHA Field at Arrowhead…

No joke: Bluesky needs to heavily recruit sports and fantasy sports media/journalists and general sports social media influences. Fuck. Even pay them. Sports is THE ONLY reason I keep my Twitter account active.

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

Truly infuriating that we all have to pretend like any of this is normal. Like, yes, Biden is better than Trump on every possible axis of measurement, in the same way a scarecrow, or a small child wearing a blue ribbon, or a person who literally thinks they are a tree would be better on every axis

…and made more painful a practical economic depression, and oh btw the civil courts have dubbed him a rapist and a blundering con-man masquerading as a supposed tycoon, and it’s the DEMOCRATS who are in absolute disarray right now with four months to go

I’m torn on this question and think you’re making a compelling serious argument. But I will say the one bit of evidence we *do* have that a non Biden D would not be saddled with the unpopularity is that D’s are polling like 5-7 points ahead of Biden in basically every statewide race.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

I mean, after Trump reinstates Schedule F, the executive agencies really *won't* have any special expertise to draw on, so the Roberts court is just planning ahead.

I wonder where Barack Obama figures in all this. It would probably need to be him who says enough is enough.

Am obviously just one of many many reporters getting their phones blown up by elite Dems in positions of influence, power, money freaking the fuck out tonight. All I’ll say before pivoting to writing copy is this is Not the usual bed wetting, Biden should step aside fan fic. Tonight was different

Extremely good for Biden if the debate is generating mainstream headlines like this, relative to what I'd have expected the coverage to be like!

President Biden and former president Donald Trump traded barbs over Trump’s felony conviction in his New York hush money trial during Thursday's debate. Biden addressed Trump’s case directly by saying Trump had sex with a porn star while his wife was pregnant. wapo.st/4eICoud

Trump said the wildest, most insane, psychotic bilious shit imaginable and he *did* sound more coherent than Biden. That’s how disastrous it was for Biden.

Exactly how I feel.

The CNN peops are saying what I feel, We are fucked. The debate was a disaster. Even though Trump was insane, Joe was barely competent. I continue to think that a transcript would show Joe as solid and Trump as a lunatic but, it was very bad.

Trump has figured out that he doesn’t even have to pretend to answer the questions

Jake Tapper could not be doing a worse job

The only hope is that he drops out and Buttigieg or Newsome or someone takes an open convention.

Biden has to drop out. He's cooked.
