17 Presidents were Senators, 15 were VPs. Harris has been both. Standard POTUS qualification stuff. There's been only one President who never held a high-ranking government post before: Donald Trump, and it showed through his incompetence and mismanagement.

Jesus Christ… But know that this is what they’re truly afraid of: Biden wins, but somewhere in his second term he has to step down and we get the first female president who also happens to be a black and Indian woman.

Subtle. Very subtle.

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Related to the second sentence: after watching pundits and political journalists at the NYT misunderstand and misrepresent infectious disease biology for the last four years, I'm not really eager to read their opinions about geriatric medicine.

when you start asking questions about the fucking boogeyman the fucking boogeyman loses his power. candyman isn’t real. NYT columnists absolutely do not predict the future of elections, and they are legitimately very bad at it.

yeah I’m always gonna vote because there’s still local and state elections to show up for and literally 105 years ago women couldn’t. also I realized very early on it wasn’t the person running you’re voting for, it’s their backers. feels like I’m teaching civics every 4 years.

1. The guy who wrote the "don't vote" essay says we're obligated as Americans to root for the Michigan Wolverines www.nytimes.com/2022/12/08/o... 2. he lives in 3 Rivers, MI & says your vote doesn't matter "even in municipal races." I found EIGHT elections in the past 10y decided by 1 vote there

In case after case, the Supreme Court has whispered, “We’ll hold off to see whether Donald Trump finds his way back into office,” even as the justices acted — repeatedly — to make that possible, if not more likely. From @chrisgeidner.bsky.social —>

The spinelessness of John Robertswww.lawdork.com Chief Justice John Roberts doesn't want to lead. He is, though, carefully setting up a path to allow the right-wing court to respond to whatever comes its way in 2025.

“I voted blue but things still suck” is a reason to do more than just vote, not a reason to vote for something demonstrably worse (or sit out the chance to keep Demonstrably Worse out of office)

More of this, please. Stuff like this and Colin Cowherd going off about Trump are worth more than almost any number of 30 second ads the party can buy.

“Taraji P. Henson made Project 2025 the talk of the BET Awards. The host of this year's BET Awards warned viewers on multiple occasions about the far-right plan to dismantle and remake the government in Trump's image.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

This guy with full immunity for “official acts,” plus the unlimited ability to pardon any official who would implement such orders = “limited government” Republican style.
