Legislating? Not when Republicans have a hold on the house, or the Senate.

You overestimate the risk of this specific event. I do think the DNC and all Americans need a wakeup call before November and this may or may not be it, but the debate is forgettable in 1 week whereas the consequences of these Supreme Court decisions or going to be with us for years to come.
Democrats have other opportunities to energize their base, it’s up to them to use these opportunities, and avoid letting Trump dominate every election conversation.
The majority opinion notes that the Supreme Court should be the one that makes these technical judgements on behalf of these agencies, despite that opinion itself containing a technical mistake…
Yeah, from a Canadian looking south, there’s no two ways about it. Not Biden’s best night, he brought a solid platform but the debate did not go in the way he wanted it to be.
Trump brought nothing of substance to the debate, lying his ass off as usual and pandering to his base. Also expressing Putin’s dreams and stuff. Yet, Biden’s presentation tonight could hardly beat a pet rock at a debate…
I’d fantasize about Bernie Sanders, AOC or anyone spry and progressive take the Democratic presidential candidate role for 2024, C$50 to charity if they do, but most are expected to know that even if Biden’s not perfect it’s his team that actually got things done unlike Trump whose entire presidency was about himself.
Edit 2: I’m hoping the poor performance is overshadowed by the real consequences of electing Trump beginning to show themselves with Friday morning’s SCOTUS decisions.
I dunno if I’d consider Secratary of Transportation as a low stakes role, he’s been out and about getting IIJA funds out across the country and there to present new rail, highway, air and marine infrastructure improvements.
Plus, if an unspeakable fate were to befall thirteen specific individuals, simultaneously rendering them unable to perform their duties, you’d have a President Buttigieg.
From Barrett’s dissent:
In so doing, the Court grants emergency relief in a fact-intensive and highly technical case without fully engaging with both the relevant law and the voluminous record.
Basically what the current US supreme court majority does to sway many cases in whatever way they feel like: ignore the way the court is supposed to work, ignore or diminish contrary evidence and push their own views.
The supreme court justices get “gratuities” from decisions conservative magnates want. They are just applying that corrupt standard to every American population.
Someone reupload yuzu, stat!
What better place to use this meme:
Apple’s may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.
Why were your beans cold this morning? EU’s DMA.
Why did you get delayed to your event? EU’s DMA.
Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU’s DMA, of course.
Has anybody seen anyone who could be an anti-Christ around here?
Secret child-man? Or conspicuous man-child?
This type of commentor probably doesn’t pick up a piece of trash from their bedroom floor because it doesn’t completely clean the whole room in one go.
That’s right, a good campaign strategy I think would be to tout his accomplishments such as taking antitrust seriously, a major investment in public infrastructure and instituting a minimum corporate tax level, but under a veil of irony such as through a “Dark Brandon” character so that Democrat business interests don’t get upset.
What you don’t understand is that if YouTube manages to get enough people by the balls with their anti-adblocking efforts, the next step is to start jacking up the subscription price year after year to see how much people are willing to pay.
Youtube 2026: you are no longer allowed to skip ahead in videos in order to blend the video and ad “experience” together.
