literally trump's entire campaign team in 2016 was bragging on the internet in late October 2016 that the Comey/FBI bullshit is now making it possible for us to win the election they were bragging about this! It's literally the only thing they spoke about for those final days!

Yup. Lots of people pointing out obviously this would be weaponized against LGBTQ folks. But also it just fundamentally bristles with a hostility towards privacy and freedom that runs through the entire project.

And, their definition of "porn" includes acknowledging the existence of trans people.

Orange Man Bad explains far more than many comparative politics PhDs care to admit

"viewing Trump as something like a fascist leader foresaw the violence of January 6th as a live possibility, while its critics mocked the notion as mere hysteria. Whatever its shortcomings, “Trump as fascist” remains the best guide to what Trump will try to do next"

I've been thinking about this post from the Claremont Institute, a Trumpist think tank, ever since the SCOTUS immunity ruling. Wonder what "unpleasant things" the Trumpists have in mind. open.substack.com/pub/joelmmat...

Trump will not stop pushing if you give him a slap on the wrist; he will push as far as he can possibly go. We've already seen this in action when the House failed to impeach him over the Mueller report and he immediately embarked on extorting Ukraine

I really cannot emphasize how catastrophically bad the Court's ruling was. I do my best not to exaggerate about these kinds of things but I am still kind of in shock

The last time people went to go protest a Supreme Court decision there was an immediate, bipartsan effort to use tax player dollars to put snipers on Samuel Alito's roof while our favorite pundits went "Brett Kavanaugh has a family :( :(. His daughter must be so scared :( :("

A bit that has really stayed with me was when Gabe Delahaye used to describe celebrities saying dumb shit as (say) Evangeline Lilly "breaking their legendary silence" on some issue or other.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

North Carolina, please remember that the only reason NC State House Republicans have their single vote supermajority is because Tricia Cotham lied to her constituents and flipped parties the first chance she got. If you're in her district, vote for her challenger, Nicole Sidman.

The North Carolina House overrode the Governor’s veto of the bill to criminalize masks. There is an exemption but it may be too vague to protect mask-wearers from arrest and illness. Now the bill will go the Senate where Republicans also have a “supermajority.” ncnewsline.com/briefs/repub...

Republican-led NC House overrides three gubernatorial vetoes • NC Newslinencnewsline.com Republicans in the North Carolina House made short work of three of Governor Roy Cooper's vetoes on Wednesday afternoon.

Again, the problem is: What’s the audience for a televised debate? Politically engaged people who are interested in policy details & fact checks made up their minds long, long ago. Debates are for folks who don’t follow politics and tune in at the end for a vibe check.

Trump's debate performance was awful because he lied constantly. Biden's debate performance was awful because he seemed tired and stumbled a lot. A problem Biden has is that a large portion of the public and media has showed they care more about presentation than facts.

Finally says yes IF IT'S FAIR AND LEGAL and then immediately pivots to talking about how 2020 wasn't.

Trump has been repeatedly asked if he'll accept the results of the election and has refused to answer.

Trump is essentially admitting that he has had communications with Putin about continuing to hold Wall Street Journal Reporter Evan Gershkovich until after the election. Just like Reagan did with the Iran hostages in 1980.
