No. Please. Don't put Vance out on the trail to do most of your campaigning while you stay cooped up in your country club. The libs would be so owned

Trump is 100% now imagining getting shot at every time he gets in front of a crowd, for the rest of his life.

Just a reminder: Trump inherited the lowest homicide rate of any president in 50 years. He was the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher homicide rate than when he entered. And the rate has dropped every year since he left. www.foxnews.com/video/635815...

It's very funny when people are like "Dems are screwed if a bunch of blue collar union guys break away and start voting for Republicans" like this was something that might happen in the future instead of something that happened in 1972 and has been consistently true for 50 years

The specific language I'd recommend is "Republicans are cutting taxes for billionaires and taking away your refund to pay for it"

Said it before, I’ll say it again, tell people Republicans want to take away their tax refunds.

Remember when @ryanlcooper.com had a complete MELTDOWN after being told that “mild” COVID can damage the immune system? Well yet another study shows how wrong he was. It’s sad to see how he and others in media have fallen into conspiracies & denialism www.news-medical.net/news/2024071...

COVID-19 leads to long-term changes in the immune system, study showswww.news-medical.net In a study recently published in the renowned journal "Allergy", a MedUni Vienna research team shows that COVID-19 leads to considerable long-term changes in the immune system, even in mild cases.

I hope every interview he does he gets asked if he should be hanged like Mike Pence. Too bad our political media is an abject failure and this will rarely happen if it even happens at all.

Every white liberal and white moderate who hyped up Hillbilly Elegy should feel shit.

Trump picks Sen. J.D. Vance, a former critic, to be his running matewww.washingtonpost.com Vance is a rising star in the party who has closely aligned himself with Trump in recent years, after criticizing him forcefully in 2016.

"millions of kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump" One literally can not be a kind-hearted compassionate person and support Trump. His entire platform is full of hate. Everything he says is full of hate. It's not even subtle.

The Founders anticipated all of this, and that is why they buried throughout the constitution various secret hints and rules that would, centuries later, make it illegal to notice or get mad when a powerful and extremely dumb guy repeatedly commits obvious oafish political crimes.

I wrote about the Heritage Foundation-backed “war game” that led them to conclude that the 2024 election can’t be considered free and fair. The simulation was a bootleg version of a 2020 project and the report reads like an insane Model UN crisis committee (and I should know)

Opinion | Why a Heritage-backed 'war game' of the 2024 election can't be taken seriouslywww.msnbc.com A war game conducted by a project affiliated with the conservative think tank was apparently enough to deem the election illegitimate.

The courts are inherently political, but not sure we have seen the combination of a) strong partisan alignment between President and many judges that a second Trump admin would bring during a period where b) the courts have expanded judicial & presidential power for c) radical right wing goals.

Trump appointee comes up with new legal rationale to declare investigation of his misdeeds as unconstitutional, dismisses case. If special counsels now have to be confirmed by the Senate, they will become less likely to be appointed and slower in their operation. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/u...

I’ve never really felt a part of SFF for a variety of reasons, but the silence on Neil Gaiman is a good illustration of why. A community that blows a gasket if anyone messes with their precious award ceremonies, but when it comes to shit that really matters? Crickets.
