Ok, so the most fundamental underlying concept of punting is gonna sound kind of stupid, but it’s this - your foot is going to go where the ball is. Unfortunately, since a football is an oblate spheroid, the ball has to be in a very specific relationship to your body to hit it properly.

sometime last week someone on here wrote something to the effect of "US politics makes more sense if you assume that every other Dem operative has generalized anxiety disorder and every other GOP operative has a coke problem" and I have not been able to stop thinking about that

Guy literally had secrets in his bathroom, selling them to foreign nationals. Calls people to steal votes. Sends a mob to keep himself in office. This country pissing all over its history to bend over backwards for this guy? This is the guy we bring down the whole experiment for?

the totally abandonment of internal consistency the past year has laid the groundwork at SCOTUS for "you can't appoint a special prosecutor," but "you can take a bribe or deploy Seal Team 6" which is pretty grim under the circumstances
