This sounds like someone trying to put as pessimistic a spin they can on him proving he's the same person he always was.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

I feel like a lot of the complaints are like: "I'm hungry. I want steak. Biden is offering me gruel TFG is offering me a bullet Neither option is what I want and both will leave me not hungry, so there's no difference"

Eh, I'm no lawyer, I just watch Legal Eagle. It seems this SCOTUS is shitting all over the concept of stare decisis (case law precedent) so there's no such thing as "legal air tight" right now.

I don't believe that would retroactively take effect like that. It's whatever the case law is at the time. Like, I can't do something that's legal, then 3 years later it's ruled illegal, and I'm now legally exposed for something I did that was legal at the time.

IMO fascism is at its core a bunch of weak loser dork punk ass bitches, so it follows that a fuckstick like this is their guy.

I understand the pull of doomerism but I'll also point out that "red-state" organizers and activists have been living under, and resisting/rebuking, many and various forms of oppression for a long time and should be considered leaders in this moment. Like I said back in 2017:
Red-State Progressives Hold the Blueprint for the Trump Resistancewww.rollingstone.com Liberals in conservative states know a thing or two about fighting back against single-party rule by bigots.

The polls tend to vacillate between 24% and 34%, depending on the specific question. So I call it 30% on the whole. I think that's why generally TFG's floor was 30%, and his ceiling was usually 30%. It's stubborn, and it's too big, but it's also a distinct minority that WILL LOSE if there's turnout.

And who will determine what constitutes an "official action"? A radical right wing SCOTUS...

Furthermore it's something where the enacting of it is ostensibly under his authority, rather than delegating to some other apparatus that could in turn be obstructed by the courts. I absolutely hate thinking about this...

Huh, I wonder if, under this ruling, Biden can imprison the conservative justices, force the remaining back into session, force them to re-hear the case, and issue a new judgement. Obviously a gross idea, but it seems like the least gross way to exploit the ruling, to just undo it.

I wonder, has anyone met a person who is both marginalized AND a libertarian? Like, not from a marginalized group, but currently marginalized, so this wouldn't apply to Caitlyn Jenner.

The fear that they would versus the fact that they have very different things

How many "it can't happen here"s have to happen before the zeitgeist realizes it can happen here?

To any "leftists" who think sitting out or 3rd party is a viable option. Think about 2016. Would you rather Hillary had won? Think about 2004. Would you rather Kerry had won? Think about 2000. Would you rather Gore had won? Are you really going to maintain there's no difference?

How generous of you to consider their "originalist" viewpoint as sincere rather than something that at the time conveniently lined up with their undisclosed priorities.

I'm going to guess the posts on the birdshit site that are celebrating this SCOTUS bullshit are going to taper off in a couple hours...

Who else will not only allow, but ENNOBLE them to be their worst selves? Anyone else would think there's value in a veneer of plausible deniability.

They’re the only ones who engaged in a serious campaign to attract an audience. But the wheels are coming off at the moment. Let’s hope that continues

Importing this @volts.wtf thread from the bad place. It opens with a link to a piece that used official data to establish that yes, crime rates are indeed very much down recently. But here’s the thing, Project 2025’s Trump 2.0 promises to destroy that world in which we can “know” things like this.
