Rep Doggett (D) Texas is on MSNBC right now calling for Biden to withdraw. Jesus Fucking Christ, we’re sinking the boat ourselves.
There's a joke about Democrats. We form circular firing squads.
If Republicans were Batman they'd ally with the people who killed his parents if it meant getting what they want.
EL oh el. Nothing backfires on Trump. His nickname is Teflon don for a reason. If anything his approval ratings will increase.
The modern far-right really got it’s first big taste of legitimacy with the Tea Party
Thanks a bunch Koch brother (still quite happy at least one of them is dead.)
That is entirely an astroturfed "caucus" along with the freedumb caucus... Bought and paid for by the ownership class. Ever wonder why those assholes never go away no matter how horrible they are? They're the Koch's henchmen...
It’s also vague enough that charges can get bounced around lower courts indefinitely.
Yup! It will be the 5th circuit almost certainly. It's the Republican rubber stamp circuit...
But Biden himself came out and spoke about the ruling (paraphrasing) "we need presidents to use their power with caution and respect the (self imposed) limitations of it. I'll continue to do just that. The next guy might not do so and that's concerning."
Just a big ol' shrug from Biden... "I won't do it, but he sure as hell will."
Thanks Mr.Virtue... where is all that virtue when it comes to Palestinians?
True, but they are also the ones who decide what they can and cannot do without recourse from anyone else (because we need 2/3 of Congress to impeach which is a non-starter.) so they can rule one way and then rule another for whatever reason they want.
Our "justices" (/vomit...) don't have to have any qualifications, we just pay lip service to norms so we (read: the federalist society) choose vaguely "acceptable" people to be justices, but you or I could be one too which really means that they have almost nothing to do with the actual law. We're a fucking joke.
They're talking about a supermajority where Republicans can't stop them. Every other time we've been stopped by Republicans or Democrats working as Republicans (Manchin and Sinema) 2020-2022 we had a razor thin margin that Manchin and Sinema shat all over.
“Nothin’ we can do! There’s not a single law on the books that makes conspiring to overthrow the federal government illegal.”
Funny thing is as soon as you or I plan that and they smell any hint of socialism/leftism in our language suddenly they'll have 35287253381 laws that they'll throw all of at us for a combined prison sentence that's longer than the eventual heat death of the universe.
But without neoliberalism, who will protect us from
the Far-Left Authoritarian Tankies?being able to live happily on a single income!!
Young enough for Trump to try to hit on it!
...ok that was gross. :P
The supreme court are the only ones responsible for their own ethics. We just recently tried to force this.
We're literally a fucking joke of a country. Supreme court "justices" don't even need any experience whatsoever. You or I could be a justice.
Nobody in this administration actually wanted to prosecute Trump
"Tonight on Hannity: Biden LITERALLY kicked down the door at the DOJ and held a gun to their heads FORCING them to attack poor poor sad innocent Donald Saint Trump for made up crimes!"
Reality doesn't matter anymore
Biden already said as much with his response to the ruling.
Paraphrasing: "We must respect the (self imposed) limits to the presidency and I will do so. We can't exactly trust the next guy to do so and that's dangerous." (Proceeds to wag finger as if that will do fuck-all)
We have a party entirely dedicated to the ownership class with literally 0 internal conflict, and we have a party almost entirely dedicated to the ownership class with some internal conflict (the squad.)
What we don't have is a party that gives one solitary fuck about the labor class and actively fights those that get too close to real power. The squad is a useful token to point to and say "see we aren't all corpo fascists! We allowed them to exist!" (Because there's only like 5 of them so they have no power whatsoever)
That's not totally true, it's just who the ownership class wants. They're the only real people anyway, we're all just labor.
Old people primary voting: See if you can stop me choosing the next old man from your house! Ha!
He can't because it was tossed to the lower court to be put on ice until the election decides how they should rule.
All to support
an absolute moron.the ownership class.
This isn't about Trump, it's about the ownership class retaining permanent control of government via the Repugnant party.
Ahhh the new magic words to make me not buy a game: "AAA"
