If for any reason Joe Biden can't complete a 2nd term, we know who will take over. Her name is Kamala Harris and America already voted for her once. If Donald Trump can't complete a 2nd term, we have no idea who will take over because he TRIED TO HAVE HIS LAST VP MURDERED.

Listen, if Chief Justice Roberts and his friends feel like it's legal for President Biden to call up SeAL Team 6 to deal with Trump, I think Biden should take the Supreme Court up on the offer.

If SCOTUS doesn't make you angry enough to overlook Biden's faults I don't know what to tell you.

Breaking news: Federal prosecutors improperly charged hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants with obstruction, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday, upending many cases against rioters who disrupted the certification of the 2020 presidential election.

Hey for extra fun guess what was the only way for people who still work at the show to find old clips that are important to have in the course of producing said show!

Paramount Axes Comedy Central Site, 25+ Years of Daily Show Clips Gonelatenighter.com One of the richest repositories of late-night videos—including 25 years of clips from 'The Daily Show' and the entire run of 'The Colbert Report'—is no longer.

This whole “our business will fail if we pay our employees” thing so many companies do makes me wonder if maybe a lot of business plans aren’t viable.

This is exactly right and I think lost in all the talk of revenge. As Greg argues, Trump is threatening to weaponize DOJ to pursue bogus claims, not legitimate ones.

Media is being too credulous about Trump's threats to prosecute Dems "for revenge." This implies he's just threatening to do what is being done to him. That's deception: He's vowing evidence-free prosecutions, which is *not* what's happening to him. 1/ Link: newrepublic.com/article/1824...

Trump’s Bizarre Moments With Dr. Phil and Hannity Should Alarm Us Allnewrepublic.com Earth to media: The criminal prosecutions of Trump are legitimate. The “revenge” he’s promising would be wholly illegitimate. Time to make that a whole lot clearer.

Justice Roberts refused to testify in a hearing on Supreme Court ethics. Thomas secretly accepted gifts from a GOP megadonor and his wife was involved in Jan 6. Alito flew not one, but two insurrectionist flags. The list goes on. Is it any wonder Americans don't trust SCOTUS?

We gave an entire generation PTSD by letting their schools get shot up, repeatedly, and teaching them that they'd have to save themselves because no one else is coming for them. It's not a wonder they're rioting. They're so fucking sick of the violence.

Four years ago we were in a state of panic because of Trump's mishandling of Covid. Americans were hoarding toilet paper. The economy was collapsing. Hospitals were running out of ventilators and PPE. Yes, we are unequivocally better off than we were four years ago. https://t.co/S0lZQGMbr3
