Here’s my take: 2028 or 2032 GOP nominee will be an anti-Trump person who wins the primary exactly the way Trump did in 2016 (16 other candidates rushing to be Trump’s heir), and then he’ll lose the election by double digits, maybe with a Trumpist third party pulling electoral votes.

Sometimes the law is about small word choices and etymology and historical usage and sometimes it’s about saying “come on, gimme a fuckin break, man.”

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Just blocked Jonathan Cohn. It’s not that I have any defense for democrats voting in stupid ways right now, it’s that dedicating so much time to it in the face of holy shit everything else is an indefensible choice IMO.

Seems like this is relevant context for the legitimacy of calling up the guard to LA. They’re claiming an emergency but they’ve been planning on using the military for this shit from the jump.

The Iran deal was close to a diplomatic miracle; Trump tearing it up, setting it on fire, and spitting on the ashes was one of the worst things he did (and there’ve been a lot).

Yes, it sure does seem that responding to a court finding that he exceeded his legal authority here with “I control the military so you can fuck off” is properly classified as a military coup even if they don’t yet fire a shot.

This is one of the things about the “they won’t hold elections” thing: the terms of the representatives and senators end regardless of whether there’s somebody waiting to take their place. There’s no “let the old guy just stay in office indefinitely” switch.

In America liberal means left and the more liberal you are the more left you are. Anybody who disagrees with this is a rounding error on a rounding error on the population. Sorry for being so real.

May have broken my toe at taekwondo class, except it wasn’t from kicking anything; it was from stubbing it a little bit to get back to the end of the line to kick stuff.
