The motto of the Post is literally “Democracy dies in Darkness”, and it was adopted immediately after Trump was elected. It is deliberately positioned as pro-Democrat and anti Trump. I didn’t have a high esteem of Bezos, but I am still disappointed.

Anybody who cares about Green policy should vote against Trump.

I can articulate it for them. It’s racism and sexism. There was that so hard?

I wonder about the cost of insurance. I would imagine it’s a significant part of the tuition.

Remember that Iran is currently providing drones to Russia, so it’s not as if they are fully separate threats. I would say both are at the moment big concerns, so I can see where the answer is coming from. At the same time, the primary reason for our current struggles with Iran is that Trump sabotaged the Iran nuclear deal. On the other hand, the struggles with Russia are primarily related to Putin.

How could he possibly have been surprised by the response? They are with 9 judges. Three vehemently disagreed with the ruling and even Barret partially disagreed. It’s not like he was looking for some compromise ruling that all judges signed onto. Pathetic reporting.

There are the Trump cases that are objectively easy to prosecute (especially the stolen document case), since the law is clear and no good lawyer wants to represent Trump. Here the DOJ has clearly been dragging his feet for reasons that are unrelated to the legal system.

Then there are these antitrust cases that are objectively EXTREMELY complex, and where the legal arguments have to be very carefully constructed to withstand a challenge from the best lawyers money can buy. Complain about the former, not the latter

Lol , Trump just told Israel to start using nukes. I am sure things will be much better with him in power.

The youth is already paying for the elderly. It’s called Medicare. The real question is whether the young people who are healthy pay for those that are less lucky.

Also what’s the political calculus for Kemp? Maga hates him, because he has issues with Trump, on account of not stealing the election. Here he gets to signal his bipartisanship by saying he worked with Biden to raise the wage of teachers. Shouldn’t that be the savvier move in a purple state?

Tariffs tend to make all sides poorer. We benefit from cheap imports, because those imports serve as inputs to our companies. Additionally, tariffs on our side tend to be matched by tariffs on the other sides which will hurt exports. There’s no realistic scenario where a broad tariff benefits the local economy.

That’s without joking exactly what they do. Now if that one millennial voter is a different one in each cohort of participants you get huge swings in the survey that are not very predictive of election outcomes, and that error is poorly represented in the margin of error.
