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?
I’m sorry a Republican voter shot at the Republican leader at a Republican rally, and especially that he killed a Republican rally-goer and injured two more. I wish it didn’t happen, and hope nothing like it ever happens again.
I just don’t see how non-Republicans could be the ones to solve it.
Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.
There’s something really perfect about a multimillionaire country music singer who got divorced after fucking around on his wife singing to a multimillionaire from New York who fucked around on his wife about how both of them are humble small town folks who have the morality lacking in big cities
True to form, the bard of small town, "real American" vigilantism Jason Aldean will be headlining the closing concert at the RNC next week. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/jason-a...
It's too bad the 2nd Amendment dudes who swore they'd be the undauntable defenders of our democracy against attack by a brutal monarch turned out to be too busy denouncing rainbow plushies at Target.
Sorry to all my lawyer friends who spent a bunch of time learning how law works in the US. I had friends who were Flash developers and things turned out alright for them after they pivoted to C# or whatever. Hopefully there's an equivalent for our national legal system
look i'll be clear, I will be voting, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same, against donald trump and the end of democracy in this country in november. I do not care if that means i'm voting for a man who is literally dead.
Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office.
There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.
A country where a minority of voters can elect a president with king-like authority and impunity and federal agencies that lack the power to do any of the things they are meant to do if big rich companies say they don't like it. Culmination shit for the right wing project.
@kevinmkruse.bsky.social would you know of any reviews of Richard Beeman’s “The Varieties of Political Experiences in Eighteenth-Century America”? It seems to sit at a crossroads that appeals to both the attorney and the former history grad student in me.
If I’m Biden’s strategist, I would just bait Trump into talking a little shit about Kendrick and Anthony Edwards, then sit back and let those two do the talking from there…
The thing about taking statutory interpretation away from the agencies is that Congress actually has power over those agencies, but does not have power over the Court. It’s power grab in the guise of helping; it’s “helping” in a paternalistic, condescending, unchecked manner.
I mean, after Trump reinstates Schedule F, the executive agencies really *won't* have any special expertise to draw on, so the Roberts court is just planning ahead.
Remember, this is America, the world's greatest democracy. If you're mad at John Roberts, don't protest at his house, focus on defeating him the next time he's up for reelection.
A fundamentally undemocratic court that has been controlled by Republican nominees for 55 consecutive years just seized control of the whole damn government.
Yet another reason Democrats should center the Supreme Court in their campaigns. (More on this soon!)
Here’s the Loper Bright decision expressly overruling Chevron and radically reordering American government, probably for the worse. Chief Justice Roberts wrote it, and the vote went on party lines. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...
