It's depressing and infuriating how long we've had to pretend that Bibi is some sort of Great Man of History, rather than an obvious criminal whose every move is determined entirely by his short-term interests, with zero regard for anyone else on Earth.

Bibi is pretty clearly now actively working to prevent a hostage/ceasefire deal. The man is a deranged lunatic who belongs in jail. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-jul...

I saw this was trending and had to google it "The post alleges that Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for this year's presidential election, "forced" young girls to "perform lesbian sex acts."

It also appears this mendacious fool was lying about not voting. Which was publicly available information the fact checkers at the Times apparently failed to look for. bsky.app/profile/bubb...

It’s just popping into my head again because of Chomsky discourse but the public still doesn’t talk enough about how Trump obviously knew who Jeff Epstein was, knew he deserved to rot in prison and still gave Alex Acosta (who gave him his sweetheart plea deal) a position in his cabinet

What’s left of democracy is on the ballot.

This is what qualified as a “scandal” 8 years ago.

Remember when it was a terrible crime for Bill Clinton to have a brief conversation with Loretta Lynch on an airplane tarmac?

Ukraine’s very good at something our DHS is too nonplussed to care about.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

It's hard to even imagine the limits of the power that SCOTUS has just handed the president. If you can keep 34 senators and the military on your side, you can do anything.

The really bitter irony here is that SCOTUS is making the president a king while a Democrat is president. They aren't worried about it because they know Democrats won't accept Biden actually acting the way they are saying he can.

Once again, the problem is not any theory of constitutional interpretation, because they don't use any consistently. It is that the Republicans on SCOTUS pick and choose and rationalize whatever reasoning is necessary to rule in favor of Republicans.

Legal pundits over time Dec 1, 2023: SCOTUS will reject Trump's appeal on an expedited basis Dec 22, 2023: They are letting the DC Circuit handle it to not even dignify it. Feb 28, 2024: The are taking the case on appeal but will completely reject the claim. June: SCOTUS says Trump is your God/King

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

I don’t think Biden read this.

I also found this lil exchange during discovery

Exclusive: NRA Official Sought Sandy Hook Hoaxer To Question Parkland Shooting, Emails Showwww.huffpost.com NRA official Mark Richardson emailed a day after the Parkland shooting to say the shooter "was not alone."

This is a party void of principles, waiting for marching orders, & allergic to independent thought. “Republicans in April said by a 41-point margin that a conviction would be disqualifying; they now say by a 35-point margin that it’s not disqualifying.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Just a reminder, when brought to court—Carroll, Stormy—Trump’s been found guilty. Plenty more to go:

All the assault allegations against Donald Trump, recappedwww.pbs.org Their charges range from an unwanted touch from behind to aggressive, sudden kissing to fingers groping up their skirt and into their underwear. Donald Trump and his campaign insist all of the stories...

This would make an awesome twist to Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.

Libraries are one of the most radical social institutions we have, because they’re based on the idea that *everyone* has the right to information, for free. It’s also what makes them crucial to democracy. I will never stop yelling about this!

Poor people use libraries. Rich people shut them down because they don't *want* poor people to read.

My new conspiracy theory… Just learned that April 25, the date the news broke about Kristi Noem’s pup, used to be an ancient festival called Robigalia where they sacrificed dogs. Coincidence?

For the good of the country, Donald Trump should drop out the 2024 presidential race.

Donald Trump Should Drop Out | Washington Monthlywashingtonmonthly.com We’ve had months of calls for Joe Biden to drop out because of middling poll numbers. The grounds for a Trump withdrawal are far firmer.
