Yep.  And more specifically, Kamala Harris needs to schedule a stop in North Carolina as soon as she can, and tell the attendees and viewing audience that Andy Mother-Fucking Harris has proposed stripping North Carolinians of their right to vote and determine the allocation of the state's electoral votes regardless of the will of the people.  

You mean the undemocratically-installed presidential candidate?  Hurr durr.

My annual Washpo subscription was up in mid November. I had previously decided to keep it until today’s news. Just cancelled it.

Yeah, I renewed recently. I am giving them a call and telling them I am cancelling.  Fuck that.

I am about to do the same with the NY Times. They are still endorsing presidents, but they are going to stop for state and local elections.  That is just fucking stupid.

FWIW, doesn't seem like you say this kind of shit if you think you're about to win.

Joe Biden should have anyone even considering it killed.

Elon Musk - Twitter, Tesla, SpaceX $250B

Jeff Bezos- Washington Post, Amazon, AWS $211B

Mark Zuckerberg- Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp $200B

Sergey Brin - Google  (Alphabet) YouTube $131B

Micheal Bloomberg - Bloomberg News $106B

Bill Gates - Microsoft, $106B

Rupert Murdoch - FoxNews, WSJ $22B


 

These seven combined are worth over a trillion dollars and collectively control most of the public information space.  You cannot have a functioning Democracy with this shit.  It’s too much concentration of power, they can rewrite history if they want and no government is going to stop them. 

 

This is why I laugh when people say the “liberal media.”

 

Shut the fuck up Ethan, all media is owned by radical republicans. Which one is liberal again?

Corporate media with a vested interest in things staying a certain way. It's why I hope CNN and others start going under. They've stoked this era of politics at every turn. They reacted to Fox News by becoming something almost worse.

Well, WaPo agreed to cancel my subscription, effective 11.5 months from now, those fuckers.

Just order a new credit card so the old card number dies

Fucking cancel your Amazon subscriptions too. 


That's problematic. The last season of "The Boys" has yet to be released.

He should.  And it's cool if he does, because thanks to the SCOTUS,  PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY!!!

Never has the world needed a plane to crash like it needs Trump's to crash today.  He is poison.  He is walking, breathing poison.

How much $ would it take to run an ad on Fox News featuring a few things like this as a message from Trump telling MAGA to "Boycott the Rigged election!"

I liked “the Depravity of Justice.” As in, Justice itself is depraved. Which may actually be how he views real justice.

Which is interesting, because in general, more Democrats vote R in presidential elections. But that was only slightly true in 2016, Biden got more R voters than Trumo got Democrats 2020, and with any luck that will hold in this election as well.

According to the supreme court he would be immune from prosecution if he did. @TwiceHorn is that correct? Serious question.

Dear baby Jesus, please let Kamala win North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, so I won't have to hear a fucking word from my more outspoken family members from [checks notes] North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona during Thanksgiving week.

lol. You think that will shut them up? I think you’ll hear nothing but RIGGED ELECTION and conspiracy shit through to 2025

Thinking back the mom was very touchy with me too. I was too dumb to pick up on the signs though. If I had my current mindset I would've been knocking the bottom out of that on the reg.

tldr: conservative wimmenz are freaks

 

Yet another example of youth being wasted on the young.

I don't know about murdered but Biden should absolutely order that anyone who tries something be arrested and imprisoned. He's old, he's on the way out, and SCOTUS says he has immunity for official actions. Protection of federal elections is absolutely an official action. Throw them in prison immediately and let SCOTUS sort it out.

Remember when Dotard was promising to release all the evidence he had compiled that showed the 2020 election had been stolen? He never did. Guess he must have forgotten.

Just had a text convo with my anti-dotard buddy who is floating the idea of a dotard landslide.  Now I'm on the fucking Ledge.  Like WAY out there.  @Brisketexan what do we have to drink?

battleground state tracking polls have been off by 3-4 points, and they tend to herd in the same direction. In 2008 and 2012, they underestimated Obama. In 2016 and 2020, they underestimated Trump. In 2022, they underestimated Democratic house and Senate candidates.  

The current polls (the good ones) are working very hard not to underestimate Trump this time.  So: these are the possibilities:
1) The polls are right and it's a jump ball, coming down to legal manuevers in close states, like 2000.
2) They underestimate Trump, because polling is just very hard.  He wins 300+ EVs and it's over early, like 2016.
3) They underestimate Harris, because polling is just very hard.  She wins 300+ EVs and it's over early, like 2012

Too little, too late. 

Won't be too hard to find "editors" who will kneel before the MAGA Fuhrer for a huge paycheck and proximity to fascist power in action and all the "news" that will generate. Pre-WW2 Nazi Germany is the historical model Team MAGA and Team Billionaire are following.

This.  The playbook being run by MAGA, and by the legacy media kneeling at their feet, isn't just "similar."  

It's....

Hah!  Listening to the Bulwark podcast with Stephens as a guest as we speak, mainly to see if Miller will call him out for being such a gigantic pussy.

According to the supreme court he would be immune from prosecution if he did. @TwiceHorn is that correct? Serious question. 

To be absolutely immune, the action would have to be tied to a "core constitutional responsibility."  For example, Smith took the DOJ evidence out of the case, because a President dealing with his AG (or acting) or deputies, is a core responsibility.  Likely meaning a power/duty expressly listed in Article II or elsewhere.

On the other end, what is not immune are things done in a personal capacity or outside of the outer perimeter of presidential responsibility.

In the middle are things that are presumptively immune, where the presumption is rebutted by a showing that prosecution for that type of presidential action wouldn't have a "chilling effect" on the legitimate exercise of presidential responsibility in the future.

So, you'd have to be able to characterize it as a core constitutional responsibility.
