Two or three fingers?

Yep. I said it then and it’s only become more true that Jan 6th was Trump’s Beer Hall Putsch and we’re set to repeat history.

Thanks for providing the link

I agree that Politico is a rag, but this sounds made up.

How many of them changed their minds when they were told that DJT is, in fact, over the age of 75?

What do you think Biden will be able to on court reform without a supermajority in the House and Senate?

The court reform announcement is entirely an aspirational effort. “Just think what we could do if you get out and vote.”

I think that, like it or not, the legal landscape today is what we have to contend with this election cycle.

This would be awesome. Give Harris a two hour uninterrupted prime time spot to let the former prosecutor make a case against electing a convicted felon and follow it with 2 hours of the oldest candidate in US history rambling. 😆

The show follows the book series faithfully through the first six books. The loose ends tie into the story arch of the last three books. But I think they ended the show at a really good place because the last arch takes a turn toward the “fantastic” which is still good but feels very different from the rest.

Honestly, the whole first season can be a bit of a slog. It doesn’t really pick up until the storylines converge which is like episode 8.

But, it absolutely pays off with the rest of the series.

Play up her former DA status. This year the election is between Law and Lawlessness.

Harris: “I would be happy to prosecute the case against the felon in the next debate, let’s just see if he shows up for his court date or if he’s too busy taking bribes from his rich tech bro friends.”

Yep, the Democratic problem is not persuading cultists on the other side, it’s energizing the base.

Catch you later

Now? Biden has been losing in swing state polls since January. The debate was supposed to move the needle in his direction. That’s why all this talk about “oh his debate performance didn’t affect his polling” is so infuriating.

Correct. It didn’t move the needle. He’s still losing. He needs to go.

This will energize his base and he will win the election. It will also mean Republican domination of the House and Senate. The next two years will be a clusterfuck as normal and barriers are demolished and regular people begin to realize they’ve elected fascism. The midterms will begin to look like a blue wave, but then they will point back to moments like this to declare the Democratic party “illegitimate” and remove them from ballot access, if midterm elections happen at all.

This is the end of any semblance of democracy in the US for at least a generation.

So many folks in here immediately jumping to “well Trump does the same thing but worse!” as soon as any question about whether Biden can win is raised, like asking if the candidate will actually appeal to the broadest swath of America is the first step on the slippery slope to becoming authoritarian. When did “Vote Blue no matter who” turn into “Biden is our only hope”? The people questioning Bidens ability to win aren’t thinking about switching their vote off the blue ticket, they’re looking at the data that suggests even with the Democratic base voting blue, it won’t be enough to defeat Trump and are trying to think about how to expand and energize support for Democratic ticket.

The fact is Biden has been even with Trump in national polls for months and has been losing in swing states. Trump’s base isn’t budging and based on the fact that Biden’s abysmal debate performance didn’t move the needle it’s obvious that the Democratic base isn’t budging either. So the only movement that is going to happen in this race are swing voters and enthusiasm.

If Biden is going to run, great, I’d love to see him fucking do it! Because if his campaign is gonna be up this once a week, tightly controlled appearance bullshit, he is absolutely going to lose and will moreover drag the house and Senate down with him. If he can’t turn things around, it’s time to let someone else do it.

It’s true that we’ve never seen a party win that changed candidates this late in the election cycle, but it is equally true that an incumbent president that has an approval rating as low as Biden’s has ever won reelection. If the Democratic party is going to win in November, one of those precedents is going to be broken; people are just trying to figure out which one will be easier to break.

Snake! Careful now, I just saw it moving in and out of that bush, almost like a…

Irked is the emotion represented by the fact that the order that the pairs are displayed in switches as you move across each row.

Exactly this.

“Sorry Mr. President, the policies you enacted during the triple hurricane saved thousands of lives, but the drug test you took beforehand were positive for mood stabilizers so we’ve invalidated your policies and everyone who was saved by them has been taken out back and shot.”

This isn’t the fucking Olympics. But then debates are a terrible way to judge a president to begin with.

This headline makes no sense. Healthcare products and services are part of the GDP. Doesn’t including the comparison here simply mean that the forecast GDP was wrong?

So the bill meant to “increase transparency” has an amendment added to specifically allow money to be less transparent.
