Absolutely. They fully intend for the next hurricane floodwall to come and sweep away these people.

The GOP’s self-styled image as the party of “law and order” has purchase insofar as it contrasts with the Democrats who turned a blind eye to crimes committed by the right people...

And that's enough fiction for today.

RFCs are Requests For Comment, published technical documents describing proposed standards.

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. 😆

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.

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.

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

Yep. Lavender makes me feel physically sick.

He'll be convicted of at least some of the counts, but will immediately begin appealing the decision and won't face any consequences before the election.

Maybe the fact that he's now a "convicted felon" will sway some people, but my guess is that most will simply move their own internal goalposts "since it's still being decided on appeal"

Only if it's a club.
