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.

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.

 

Donald Trump's lawyers are seeking to vacate his New York hush money conviction based on Monday's Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.

 

I guess you could say I swapped Bob a loo mop and got Pam's broom.
