Crazy to me that anyone is having a conversation about whether Biden should step aside and not which of the Roberts Gang of Six should be under federal investigation tomorrow.

If anyone wants to use this as an opportunity to opine on the need for Biden to step aside, I'm going to block you ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Seriously, all these chucklefucks out there clutching their pearls over the debate would be doing a lot more to defeat Trump if, instead of harassing their party’s nominee to step down, they spent their energy demanding investigations of and resignations from those 6 SCOTUS traitors.

Oh. I assume those folks calling on Biden to step aside have been all over getting Trump to step aside, then. No? Shocker.

I mean, Alito and Thomas, right?

¿Porque no los dos?

Why not both, and probably should just impeach all 6 crooked bastards on the court. Or Biden could use his new powers to fire them all and make them regret this whole presidents should be kings ruling. Which would be funny as hell.

And who is going to track alito and thomas on their luxury bribe vacations.

Yep and a lose is just gonna add to or keep the corruption in court going

Agreed, but isn't the fact that Biden (and his admin) isn't out there banging this very drum an indictment of him (and maybe his capacities)?

ah, sorry, i'll prepare for my block, not trying to stir shit up

I think his reaction has been appropriate so far tbh, and appropriately concerned. Off the top of my head, he gave (I think?) his first unscheduled primetime speech the same day, and I believe his only one attacking the court so far, and one of his campaign directors said they were "scared as shit.'

But compare to the discourse around whether Biden would hammer Trump over his felony conviction; everyone, including the discourse here, was in despair after a weekend where he didn't say anything, but he's been pretty consistent about calling him a felon etc. since.

So, if in two weeks it seems like he's just letting this fade, I'll be more concerned.

For sure, I do think the admin's response to this one was more aggressive than is typical from them. To me, it seems inadequate to the moment. But I'm dumb, so I'm willing to trust they're keeping their powder dry for a reason. But i dunno, that speech expressed a helplessness that wasn't fun to me

i’m hoping the speech is a hustle, like, “oh look at all this money i have and i’ve never played billiards…” frankly i’d rather they speak softly and carry a big stick rather than come out with a tough guy speech right away

Yeah it's very possible he'll blow it, maybe he's just not up to the task, but he's got four months before the election and they've effectively given him carte blanche to do some very popular, effective things at the right moments.

for all we know they are. I see the social media ads and there are no pulled punches. The problem to me, is that the normal shine boxes that are used for shouting are all controlled by the Biden is Old narratives. What I want to see is Garland to get off his ass and indict people.

That's not important right now. The 2020 primaries is what's important right now. Perspective!
