It’s all 100% masks off at this point, lads.

Judge Cannon went and did it. She has dismissed the stolen documents case against Trump on Clarence Thomas’s (nonsense) appointments clause rationale.

They have no intent of the outcome of the coming election to be anything but Trump regardless of what the voting result is.

Democrats and media figures who respond to just about anything happening with variations on “this helps Trump” are cynical, defeatist, and wrong. It’s not true, and plays into the extremist strategy of asserting inevitability. Republicans do it because they want it to work. Why would anyone else?

Trump rally shooting upends congressional Democrats' crisis over Biden's candidacywww.axios.com Rep. Dean Phillips said it would be "unpatriotic and unprincipled" to focus on anything besides the shooting.

This person should resign alright

A senior House Democrat says efforts to replace Biden at the top of the ticket have stopped because, “We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency."

Look obviously the Biden team shouldn’t intimate that it’s alright for people to shoot at Trump, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea to come out in force and say “this is what happens when you a dedicate your political career to normalizing political violence. This is the world Trump wanted.”

I thought I read once where in Britain they started requiring some pill people would use for suicide be individually bubble wrapped and the number of pills per package were limited to a number that made suicide difficult, and deaths from it dropped by a 1/3rd, or some such.

Heard this too. Just utter bullshit. Trump: “Any election I don’t win is rigged. Immigrants poison the blood of our country. We will root out the vermin.” Democrats: “He’s saying dangerous things.” CNN: “Both sides are responsible for the political climate in this country.”

Scott Jennings on CNN right now saying this is on Dems for saying Trump will end democracy on the US. And Bash and Blitzer are like, yes, we have to tamp down the rhetoric on both sides. Absolute marks. Jesus Christ.

If Democrats allow the party of "2nd amendment solutions" to control this narrative, they are truly incompetent.

This is to head fake Biden into dropping mentioning Project 2025 and that Trump is a facsist

Philip Bump

. . . you are about to see the republicans adopt this and demand that biden quit talking about their fascist plan

/3 Plus there’s the militarization and mobilization of “private” forces — the go-ahead signal to the “stand down and stand by” Trump supporters who are going to be given the wink and the nod to forcibly detain, and kill “in self defense”, non-whites they think must be illegal.

/2 It’s also the vast militarization it’s going to require. We’re going to be an occupied nation. Detention of citizens and lawful residents is inevitable and in fact clearly intended. Large-scale violence against immigrants, suspected immigrants, and bystanders is inevitable and clearly intended.

No one important was punished for Jan 6 so the incident has been backfilled as normal and fine. They wouldn't describe it this way if Trump had been put in cuffs on Jan 20th bsky.app/profile/zach...

This is mostly a decent article but calling insurrectionists "thousands of protesters" is certainly a choice

Unbowed by Jan. 6 Charges, Republicans Pursue Plans to Contest a Trump Defeatwww.nytimes.com Mr. Trump’s allies are preparing to try to short-circuit the election system, if he does not win.

The theory is that by wrecking the 2024 election, they can throw the choice of President to house delegations where the Republican is certain to prevail. This is insurrection, a coup and needs to actually be dealt with as such. If your plan is to sue them and win, you've already lost.

The Republican Party and its conservative allies are engaged in a "wide-ranging and methodical effort" to lay "the groundwork to contest an election that they argue, falsely, is already being rigged against former President Donald J. Trump." www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/u...
