Yeah interest and inflation both crap on this, I’d think. There are many other ways to shit stir about the majority of the boomers but this one is weak

This is a really fascinating scenario. As far as I know, we’ve never had an election re-do. I wonder what in heck could trigger one

It may be unpopular around here, but the pardon power of the presidency needs to go.

Especially the power that pardons people for all crimes

It undermines the rule of law and sets a precedent that the president is above the law

It isn’t a check on the judiciary, it’s a way to negate the idea that nobody is above the law.

Case in point: Ford pardoning Nixon Case in point: Biden pardoning his family for any crimes in a time period

Dude even the rest of the south hates South Carolina. First to secede.

I think you’re right that this got cranked to 11 during their lives, but the leaded gasoline might have something to do with this too. Through that lens, much boomer behaviour can be described. Particularly considering that boomer stereotypes are transnational

Marco Rubio has a contemptible level of cowardice.

This is a non sequitur/ad hominem, but here is the debate where Chris Christie, a fellow cunt, handed Rubio his arse.

Also remember that Chris Christie prepped Trump for his own debates.

These people should absolutely be imprisoned.

This should take the form of a continuous, publicly accessible investigation that only continues rather than is summarised when they retake the House.

But it isn’t and won’t be.

It will be a well put, tightly and succinctly presented, work of art of an argument for an additional impeachment and unrealised conviction in the Senate. Just like the Jan 6 Committee.

They should instead be throwing themselves into the gears of govt., but they will take the long term, conventionally optimal strategy of letting the Republicans make their mistakes.

America is so, so frustrating in the face of obvious corruption and incipient fascism.

No, he will follow the pattern of buying calls on gold beforehand, then detonating a nuke in Ft. Knox so the gold supply is irradiated, making the value of his gold skyrocket.

This was in a movie once. I think it was called “The President That Couldn’t Slow Down”

The document says:

1. Popular policies wouldn’t allow us to maintain a fundraising edge
2. We lost enthusiasm because of our vigorous defence of Israel
3. Biden should have dropped out earlier, and there were people aware of the risk of a bad performance in the debate
4. Harris didn’t do enough to differentiate herself from Biden and the opposition in (yet another) anti-establishment election

What does he think he’s doing by constantly complaining about this?

Justices consider their words carefully before speaking. What could possibly be the reason beyond letting off steam… repetitively and publicly?

Is it to tamp down public criticism of the court? If so, who cares? It won’t work, and they have lifetime appointments.

Is it out of guilt because the assertion is obviously factually untrue?

Maybe some of these guys just watch way too much Fox News and conservative media. They’ve been airing grievances just like these outlets. LOOKING AT YOU ALITO

A senator, and minority leader, is more than a dude who complains and votes whenever they can, and occasionally calls the president an unhinged asshole on social media.

Homie could walk from skyscraper to skyscraper in NYC calling out CEOs individually and gather an insane crowd behind him doing so.

Make a spectacle, get attention, start trouble. There is a genocide and a war on. Paint “impeach” on your chest and start running around the Lincoln memorial, lol. He can do shit, obviously, because he has a huge pulpit.

But he won’t. And he doesn’t deserve this defence simply because he doesn’t have the votes.

Bro ushered in the primary defeat of Bernie sanders by Joe Biden

This is key to why dictatorships decline and fall. Dictators cast out naysayers and refuse to listen to evidence that contradicts them. So they are eventually surrounded by incompetents or manipulators.

But being surprised at increased oil prices after bombing Iran like a week ago?

Are his advisors that deep in their media and social echo chambers? Is this just a line fed to the press?

News: shitty ass decision gets made by a federal court

Me: 5th circuit?

Govt: yup

Exactly. Many were historians and Christians.

They already had the previous example of the sale of indulgences within the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. Even American colonial revolutionaries were offered pardons by King George III to stop fighting.

Commenter below cites the fact that the expectation was that the congress would step in if popular sentiment was outraged by this sort of thing, but this state of affairs was foreseeable.

They ended up with a powerful executive even though they believed previous kings had too much power. e.g. “His Excellency” George Washington refused the title of King.

Also of note is that there were relatively few voters and they were privileged and generally well educated and informed members of the public. White men with land.

Deep in the outback, there are more stars than you can imagine. The soil is so red.

Driving along the highway, seeing a single pair of headlights on the horizon for twenty minutes, combined with the dust and bug reflections in your headlights, and the sheer remoteness of it all, does things with your mind.

Why? Because she can count? Because she can be stern to her caucus and get them to STFU?

She took impeachment off the table for Bush.

Hey, I spent some of 2009 and also 2013-2014 in Kenya working alongside USAID folks

Not calling you a liar but could you please educate me? My experience was that the goal was the opposite.

Now, wading through shitty opportunistic local capitalistic scumbags was an issue, but a separate one.
