IT'S NOT A WEBSITE! I NEED AMERICAN MONEY!

How do I get blocked by Dan Bongogo, Seb Gorka, and Bill James over here as well?

I gleefully helped bird-dog & bully Steve King off the bad site.

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

if you’re waiting for everyone around you to wake up, you’ll wait forever. this is how the people grinding our bones to make their bread WANT you to be. paralyzed, alienated & purposeless

I'm rich!

Having a party wide public freak out damages party unity, damaged whatever candidate is at the top of the ticket, is time not spent talking about the convicted felon rapist coup plotter wannabe dictator who’s defeat should be the only thing we’re talking about 24-7.

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

Leftist chucklefucks on the hell site are already spreading the selectively edited Biden clip from his speech today. We're got an exhausting month ahead of us.

as a politics knower I think the democrats should simply do the thing that makes it easiest to win, but also aligns with both all my prior posts and all my most panicked recent posts. this is very simple and obvious.

Hooooooly crap

Roberts rules for Trump. Absolute immunity for “official acts.” Vacated and remanded. Party line case. Both Sotomayor and Jackson dissent. Fuck this. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23p...

i feel like my main contribution to this conversation has basically been to ask people to actually take this seriously as a thing that could happen and give it a real cost/benefit analysis

bouie is literally the only person on the NYT board who is behaving and responding to the debate like a professional that has followed and covered a presidential election. i mean that seriously, i'm not being snarky.

if you actually get *paid* to write about politics for a living, screaming that the nominee has to drop out after one bad debate *in june* (and one in which the challenger did not do well, either), you are unqualified for your job and your salary

Fun fact, actually doing 1-4 could very well energize and activate enough people to make 5 meaningfully viable instead of the longest shot out of the bunch

Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.

there is no world in which biden drops out and the nominee isn’t kamala harris. and i think it is very interesting that the loudest calls for biden to drop out do not acknowledge this fact.

The campaign needs him doing this every day for the next few weeks.

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.

CLOSE YOUR MOUTH AND LOOK AT THE DAMN CAMERA

Put the brain freezes, Trump lies, and Biden meandering aside. This alone just looks terrible

At least the September debate will be cancelled now

This is painful

There's an interesting problem in digital preservation, which is that preservation only exists actively. Only the things you actively move to new formats, survives. Community is probably the same way: it has to be actively maintained in order to outlive whatever spot it's currently in.
