If this had happened to Biden, Trump would be cracking jokes about it within 48 hours, and if the shooter had survived, he'd quickly ratchet his way up to "jokes" about pardoning the guy within a week.

An incomplete thread of the many times Donald Trump has called for violence, made excuses for violence, celebrated violence, or dismissed violence committed against others:

The Supreme Court’s ruling putting presidents above the law must be understood not simply as a grant of immunity for past crimes, but an enthusiastic endorsement of those he will commit if given the chance. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Supreme Court Gives Its Blessing to Trump’s Criminalitywww.theatlantic.com And gives him permission for a despotic second term.

Yes we’ll rally round the flag, boys, we’ll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of freedom, We will rally from the hillside, we’ll gather from the plain, Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
there's nothing wrong with having feelings of despair and futility, but i think it's most responsible to avoid airing all that out in public to the greatest extent possible right now. we need to cultivate a vengeance-driven, enraged espirit de corps right now, because we need people to fight

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

they should've been in handcuffs by the end of Biden's inaguration speech. Failing to act immediately might be the decision that dooms the Republic.

Appreciate the response! I’ve always been interested in the way FDR had to juggle a bold vision for the US with the reality of the Democratic Party in the southern part of the country

Seth, do you have thoughts about the ‘44 DNC? I’ve heard it portrayed that the rank and file loved Wallace but it was the Democratic Party elite that pushed Truman on to the ticket over rank and file objections. I’m trying to be conscious of confirmation bias

In April 1944, the Vice President of the United States wrote an article in the New York Times about the threat of Fascism in the United States. He ended by predicting that right wing anti-Communist saber rattlers in the US will inject a fascistic brand of politics into our political culture.

Cool when do we punish Reagan for doing this too

Judges found Björn Höcke, a leader of the Alternative for Germany party, guilty of knowingly using a Nazi slogan in May. On Monday, he will go on trial in the same court for using the same slogan, again. To his critics, the right-wing ideologue is a threat to German democracy.
The Man Softening the Ground for an Extremist Germanywww.nytimes.com Björn Höcke has done more than take the far right into the mainstream. He is tilting the mainstream toward the far right.

Many young men are unable to get a date on account of being insane. Their solution to this is to become much more insane. The logic is bad, but they’ve made themselves too insane on purpose to understand this

German big business (and a lot of foreign business too) LOVED Hitler when he smashed the KPD, SPD, and organized labor, and then gave them huge war contracts. but then, whoops, turns out,
the awkward thing is that functional capitalism is more or less inseparable from representative democracy. capitalism requires markets, legally binding contracts, and a functional judicial system to work best. this is a real reason why capitalism is different from colonialism and mercantilism, etc

Martha-Ann Alito is like
Mrs. Alito says she's "from Germany." She was born there while her dad was serving on an Air Force base. They moved back when she was a toddler. Her parents were from Oklahoma & Kentucky. So for her to say "I'm from Germany" suggests a real deep reason to identify with something about that country
