I voted uncommitted for a lot of reasons, and this is one of them. Getting Biden out and having a brokered convention certainly expresses my democratic will.

The only remedy the current court’s ruling really allows is impeachment. It essentially means that (absent a later ruling specifying exactly what counts as a President’s “official acts,”) the President can do literally anything he wants and never suffer any consequences. Don’t agree that what he was doing was an official act? Impeach him or stfu. He’s not going to jail for breaking any law, ever.
What the vice president’s duty is is not subjective. It’s prescribed in the constitution and clear as day. Donald Trump’s specious interpretation of his role is irrelevant.
In ordinary situations, you’re presumed innocent until proven guilty. When you’re the president, according to SCOTUS, it’s presumed that the law doesn’t even apply to you because of immunity. And proving that it applies to you requires proving that what you did was or was not a nebulously defined “official act.”
This ruling will make it virtually impossible to convict a former president of anything.
If he’s such an existential threat (and he is), why the fuck are they not forcing the geriatric incompetent running on their ticket to drop out? They’re sleepwalking into fascism and it’s terrifying.
I’m against Biden but I’ll vote for him if I have to. He should absolutely drop out of the race. He’s going to RBG us.
No man it was legitimately bad. Biden did horrible. I’m terrified that we’re gonna see a significant slip in the polls after that disaster.
Good point. I don’t want to date trans people, but I wouldn’t want to use an app that purposely excluded them. I’d rather occasionally have to go “oh sorry thanks for telling me” than restrict my dating pool to bigots.
It’s not a bipartisan issue. Democrats do not have the same slavish adoration for their leaders that Republicans do.
Damnit, saw his name in the headline and had a brief moment of hope that he had Scaliaed himself out of this world. 😑
Have you been on a dating app? The experience is extremely gender specific. Men spend their time sending out as many likes as are available, and women spend their time sorting through likes they get. This is the experience for either gender unless you’re at the very high or low end of the desireability spectrum.
How’s the weather in Tel Aviv right now?
Do you ever look at conservative stuff for fun? I watch a video of Jordan Peterson or something linked to from lefty reddit and boom, algorithm ruined.
June is a great time to go back. I always dream of being a snow bird and just living in Seattle when the weather is great (June through Sept), then going somewhere warm and deserty for the winter.
Having lived there, Houston to College Station to Waco is 100% ugly. Really all of East Texas. I admit the hill country is pretty decent.
I moved to Seattle, though. Most Texans don’t know what they’re missing.
If you look up what the Dulles brothers actually did, you’d know that naming it after a comparatively petty criminal like Trump would actually be an upgrade.
They haven’t. The buyer only pay sales tax, and the seller pays no tax at all. Except maybe crazy situations where it’s a collectible antique that’s worth way more now than when you bought it.
Seriously. They still don’t have a way to increase the font size on the default app last I checked. How is such a basic feature STILL lacking?
Yeah and the yelling and cajoling is generally part of the process. It’s often a raucous affair.
Ditching Biden is the only way to unite two important groups of Democrats: those with some grasp of reality, who recognize that Biden is far too old to run again, and those who still have their head in the sand about the issue, but will rally around anyone who isn’t Trump.
If we stick with Biden the election is lost. This will not be the last time Biden has a poor showing in public, revealing just how hard it is for him to speak and think at his advanced age. Every time it happens, more voters pay attention, and his poll numbers will sink more.
