deranged conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene has a prime spot for night 2 of the RNC

checking in on night 2 of the RNC

remember when Trump was going to run on "Keep America Great" in 2020, but the country was in such piss poor shape that he had to pivot back to MAGA? Voters probably should.

James Carville has been on a cruise for a full week but that isn't stopping MSNBC from booking him for TV hits

"Hearts break, right?"

Aaron Rupar (@aaron.rupar) on Threadswww.threads.net ERIC TRUMP: I don't know why we can't have legal immigration TUR: What about kids who were brought here and who have only seen this as their home? TRUMP: Hearts break, right? I'm a much more compassionate person than you could ever possibly imagine. But what about our citizens?

It’s the first election after a coup attempt and the coup plotters are using democratic means to try to retake power. We probably don’t talk about that with enough clarity.

"Since Trump stuffed the judiciary with FedSoc true believers, those courts are nothing but Calvinball. There are no longer fixed rules. Precedent doesn’t matter. What's important is ensuring that a hard-right evangelical worldview becomes law & Trump is protected at all costs" - @snipy.bsky.social

Special counsels are unconstitutional if they make Trump sadwww.publicnotice.co Or so says Aileen Cannon.

holy hell

Bob Menendez should resign because freshly convinced felons are unsuitable for public office

MIKE ALLEN: If Trump loses, it'll be why? DON JR: I'd say cheating

it happened in a flash but the Trumps have completely taken over Fox News once again. Husband and wife tonight on Jesse's show!

Worth emphasizing that the very theme of night 2 of the RNC is a lie. Crime is down since Biden took office and we are no longer quarantining at home amid mass death. America is far safer now than it was in January 2021.

Aileen Cannon is a leading practitioner of vibes-based jurisprudence. There's little to no legal support for her ruling undercutting Jack Smith, but who's gonna stop her?

Remember in 2016 when there was a lot of pressure for Trump to divest from his private business because it's unethical for a president to make money off the presidency especially while in office, but then he just refused to do it and now people don't even really care anymore?

that was quick

New in PN: Special counsels are unconstitutional if they make Trump sad (or so says Aileen Cannon)

Special counsels are unconstitutional if they make Trump sadwww.publicnotice.co So says Aileen Cannon, who makes a mockery of the rule of law.

HOLT: The question is are you seeing what they saw in the debate, which was moments frankly where you appeared to be confused BIDEN: Lester, look, why don't you guys ever talk about the 28 lies he told? Where are you on this? Why didn't the press ever talk about that?

TRUMP: I'm going to be a dictator on day one DEMOCRATS: Trump wants to be a dictator! REPUBLICANS: Hysterical Dems are endangering Trump by saying he wants to be a dictator

2016: Trump pivots to unity 2017: Trump pivots to unity 2018: Trump pivots to unity 2019: Trump pivots to unity 2020: Trump pivots to unity 2021: Trump pivots to unity 2022: Trump pivots to unity 2023: Trump pivots to unity 2024: Trump pivots to unity (Trump will never pivot to unity)

Here's the thing: Trump *is* an authoritarian who wants to destroy democracy. This isn’t a smear, it’s a fact. That Trump got shot doesn’t change the necessity of him being defeated at the ballot box, nor does it absolve him of his past misdeeds.

Multiple things are true about Trump's shootingwww.publicnotice.co Political violence is wrong. And Trump is the candidate of political violence.

CNN really spent the entire morning taking seriously the idea that Trump is going to pivot to "unity" and tone down his rhetoric

this was a remarkably bleak moment on CNN

Aaron Rupar (@aaron.rupar) on Threadswww.threads.net CNN let GOP Rep. Mike Kelly use one of their shows to make a free promo for voting for Trump with zero pushback

New in PN: Multiple things are true about Trump's shooting We must unequivocally condemn Trump's shooting while acknowledging the truths that he's a grave threat to democracy and nobody has done more to stoke the climate of political violence than him.
