I would guess that the reason there is a credible allegation in VF of RFK groping the babysitter, by the way, is that someone in the Kennedy family went “hey anybody have a phone number for any of the babysitters Bobby groped”

article dropped which included both 1) a picture of him eating a roast dog carcass and 2) a credible allegation of him groping the babysitter

I’ve seen a bunch of bsky screenshots in the wild but I don’t think I could even identify a mastodon screenshot

Bluesky is where people come when they’re sick of Twitter’s bullshit, but can’t figure out Mastodon.

also looking forward to (probably) either Vance or Burgum facing national vetting

if you think one of the main fronts in this election is Biden vs Third Party, today was a good day, because today was a very very bad day for RFK

this year is going to take a lifetime

I still think we're going to win this election and it's not ultimately going to be that close

didn't read the NYT piece yet but did any NYT reporters see Biden repeatedly falling asleep in public or was that only Trump

yelling at Bibi has been a core job requirement since Clinton. If he can't do it we need to figure out an accommodation but it's not a strike against him that he can.

Read the Times story about Biden. They say he seems more visibly exhausted and physically frail than years ago, confuses names more. No real accusation of mental problems. Includes an anecdote of Biden yelling at Netanyahu. Sources speculate his schedule is too demanding relative to his age.

maybe newspaper endorsements do matter!

To the extent we're able to tell (and we probably can't) it sure looks like the *debate* shift in the polls was very modest but the post-debate Dem and media freak-out shift in the polls may be somewhat larger. Still small enough that all of it could easily dissipate quickly. Or not! At any rate...

this is true every four years, is the thing

They're stealing the country out from under us and they've almost won unless someone stops them. Grim.

well that's later than I would prefer

NEW: Judge Merchan postpones Trump's sentencing till September (via Frank G. Runyeon, Law360)

RFK oppo must be dropping because this is not the nasty negative story about him I thought was going to dominate his corner of this discourse today

Unpopular opinion. That picture of RFK Jr that is going around with the barbecued animal carcass is weird but we already have plenty of data to already know that he's a fucking terrible person. Some of my ancestors eat this, it doesn't make them bad people.

seems like important context

This is unchanged from their last poll, for the record.

mood around Biden feels like sports media re: the NE Patriots three weeks into 2018. Pats were coming off a Super Bowl loss where they couldn't stop a backup QB. they lost w2 to a mid Jags team and w3 to hapless Detroit. ESPN and talk radio were cooking them. Pats won the SB that year.

ok so that's going to happen after the RNC now

Breaking News: Manhattan prosecutors agreed to delay Donald Trump’s criminal sentencing to weigh whether the Supreme Court's decision on presidential immunity should void his felony conviction for covering up hush money paid to a porn star.

Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencingwww.nytimes.com Donald J. Trump’s lawyers want to argue that a Supreme Court decision giving presidents immunity for official acts should void his felony conviction for covering up hush money paid to a porn star.

yeah it looks pretty awful at this point

Amongst a growing list of things that I think is failed in our current Constitutional order is the pardon power. It’s too powerful. And while in theory it could do some good; I think it’s too dangerous to be allowed to exist (One Ring to Rule them All). I think it should be ended.

it would actually be pretty useful at this point to litigate self pardons

I genuinely believe that Biden should pick a few things and act as John Roberts has permitted he can. Then he can resign on January 19, and have Kamala pardon him, to test the absolute nature of pardons Roberts authorized. If Trump wins, Biden's going to jail anyway.

I think there is basically consensus now among elected Dems that court reform is necessary, if there wasn't before.

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

this is the legacy of the Roberts court now and I hope it eats away at him every time he thinks about it.

and even if the immunity does not extend to others, the pardon power does and its use and motives are shielded by immunity

right. the president could order troops to suppress protesters using live fire and the supreme court would extend that absolute immunity

look man maybe the second part of what you said Quentin Fulks said in 2) is elsewhere but it's sure as shit not in the screenshot you shared, which makes me think you made it up

anyway, is everyone good and mad now? fucking stay that way for the next five months, there will be more aggressions and indignities and insults to come. staying mad as hell about it is how we won in 2020 and it's how we'll win in 2024.

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

I'll need to stew on this for a bit but what is the argument against Joe Biden ordering DOJ to indict Clarence Thomas

We have four months left to save democracy. Is Joe Biden old? Fuck you.

maybe I'm missing something but I think even if a President is impeached and convicted by the Senate they're still criminally immune under this ruling?
