the thing you really can't over-emphasize about reactionary centrists is how *dumb* they are www.persuasion.community/p/a-guide-fo...

Just to be clear, Trump has literally said on national television that he would help Israel “finish the job”. If you decide to “punish” Joe Biden by not voting for him, you are literally accelerating the genocide you think will somehow magically end by not voting Biden. Pretty fucked up.

"RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNALS" is, to me, a deranged and instantly disqualifying thing for a presidential candidate to say, but on the other hand joe biden looks and sounds very old
In the exact same nine day period that Biden and his White House and campaign have been flailing, Trump has offered voters a window into his own mental state and vision for term 2 It’s not great! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I’m sure as Trump and company are leveling Gaza to make room for Kushner’s beachfront resort plan, Palestinians will be absolutely thrilled to know that Joe Biden ate shit and some younger Democrats are promising if they ever somehow get back in power it’ll be maybe possibly better. Brilliant.

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

if only Federalist 69 were just, in its entirely, Hamilton saying super clearly “sure, this constitution has one executive leader, but I can’t stress enough that it’s different from a king because a President is accountable, including to criminal law” avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century...

The Constitution says that in cases of impeachment, "the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law." It does not except the president. But what impeachable offenses aren't covered by the new doctrine of immunity?

Biden needs to instruct his justice department to go after the Federalist Society and find the points of coordination that connect trumps legal team, Cannon and SCOTUS.

What Biden’s speech SHOULD have said: “Nobody is above the law. Except me. As POTUS I pledge to protect this American democracy from any and all threats, no matter what or who that threat may be…” 1/2

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton gave a speech in Wisconsin about the importance of the Supreme Court. She warned that 2016 was "make or break" for the court—and the country. National media—focused on her emails and Trump's antics—barely covered the speech. www.thenation.com/article/arch...
Hillary Clinton Just Delivered the Strongest Speech of Her Campaign—and the Media Barely Noticedwww.thenation.com Nothing sums up the high-drama, low-substance nature of 2016 race coverage more than the underplaying of a serious speech about the Supreme Court.

When Trump is rounding up people with impunity and the imprimatur of the nation’s highest court at least folks will be able to take comfort in the fact the slightly older guy is no longer president.
