I’d be sending Seal Team Six around to visit Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh as well.

Can’t believe nobody else has mentioned him yet

The national Democratic Party is the farthest left it’s been since before Watergate, and Biden has presided over the most progressive presidency since the Great Society. That’s due largely to the work of dedicated progressives and activists in the Democratic Party. A West run will tilt the election towards Trump and fracture the left for ten years or more. These were lessons that were all learned 23 years ago.

Looks like Indiana AG Todd Rokita is in some trouble of his own regarding comments made concerning this case. Womp, as the kids say, womp.

Some grade A irony here:

The third count alleges that Rokita violated confidentiality requirements in Indiana law by making public statements about an investigation into Bernard prior to filing a complaint with the Medical Licensing Board, which he did in November.

LOL

Rumors that her husband, Jason Boebert, exposed his penis when asked for identification are unfounded.

Trump never expected to win in 2016 and had no understanding of how the government worked, on any level. He still likely has no understanding how much of the government works, but he now understands how to warp it to protect and serve himself, and you bet against him doing so from day one at your peril.

Not that CNN has ever had the best political reporting, but this article is hot garbage. Almost entirely focusing on the tone and kayfabe of Trump’s rhetoric without really touching upon the ways in which he has openly plotted to warp our system into something quite unrecognizable.

That said, this middle section really stands alone:

Trump’s authoritarianism may make the 2024 election a profound choice

may

The former president’s increasing demagoguery also puts the spotlight on key unknowns of the 2024 election:

– Does the GOP risk nominating a candidate whose untamed behavior will alienate voters in many suburban swing districts who turned against him in the 2020 election, especially given the possibility that he could be a convicted felon by the time voters make their choice?

– And if Trump wins the nomination, will his liabilities and the prospect of four more years of chaos and recriminations mitigate concerns about Biden’s physical and mental competence and concerns about the economy, as revealed in a CNN poll last week that captured a broadly negative view of his presidency?

There are plenty of polls that already address this issue. They show that the answers to both of these look to be a resounding yes. This isn’t one of those questions that can never be answered, like the square root of a million or something.

The numbers of people who affirmatively believe that Biden was involved in Hunter’s business dealings is dispiriting, though. That, mixed with the constant media drumbeat over Biden’s age, is most likely what’s keeping things so close at this point.

He’d most likely have been the guy making out during Schindler’s List.

If your list of enemies includes the ADL, then there’s a more-than-reasonable chance that you’re an anti-semite.

Likewise if your loudest defenders are, themselves, loud and proud anti-semites.

i am disagreeing with your second paragraph as it was the ghoul in the senate who placed 3 fascists on the supreme court.

I bow to no one in my disdain for Mitch McConnell, but all other things being equal, if Hillary Clinton had won in 2016 Roe would still be good law.

I’m a total browser slut.

At work, I use Firefox as my main browser. I had been using Edge to access the Chromium rendering engine, but I’ve recently switched over to Arc.

At home, I recently exchanged Safari for Orion and Edge for Arc, with Firefox for when I work from home.

I used to have Opera installed for times when a VPN came in handy.

All on Mac

These are all examples of the laws working as designed. The anti-abortion movement cares about precisely one thing: complete control over women’s bodies. An environment where doctors universally refuse to provide care to their patients for fear of incarceration isn’t a quirk of interpretation of an individual statute, it’s these laws working as intended.

And the man who placed the crucial three votes on the Supreme Court that brought us to this state is a toss-up to be returned as president in the next election. People need to wake the fuck up.

Do you really see a large number of gun-control-centered liberals talking about getting guns out of the “inner city” or away from “urban youth,” though? Because what I’ve observed is most of the people who are concerned about gun control are trying to get guns out of the hands of largely young white men who shoot up schools, churches, grocery stores etc. I can’t recall the last time I heard someone who identified as left of center complain about “violence in Chicago” — that beat is exclusively on the right.

MAGA has traditionally stood for “Make America Great Again,” but I suspect after this year it might change to either:

Make Attorneys Get Attorneys

or

My Ass Got Arrested

Don’t stick your fork in the light socket!

Seems like the Venn diagram of those two groups approaches a circle, if the OP is any indication.

“Gravy seals” belongs right next to “Y’All Qaeda” as one of those perfectly pitched nicknames that both encapsulates and decimates the right-wing freak show.

Don’t threaten us with a good time.

Pretty sure this is never going to cross Biden’s desk.
