Bad presidential debate, French elections first round, Supreme Court putting ex-presidents at least somewhat above the law. It's been quite a week. But neither fight has reached its big inflection point yet. France is July 7. US is November 5. Both could still go either way.

Yes. Yes it's wrong. I know these are dark times, but there's no cause for Billy Joel.

It would take a dozen verses to get through the first Trump administration. I can’t even imagine a second – or maybe the fire just stops burnin’.

UK elections on the 4th. The Tories aren't exactly openly fascist (not yet, anyway), but kicking them to the curb would likely be a good thing

the problem here is the idea that winning the election will fix SCOTUS. It may not unless Dems grow a pair, and SCOTUS is now arguably more of a threat to the United States than Trump.
