I hate the new kicking regime in the NFL. Just put the ball on the 20 and make the offense work for it. Except for declared onside kicks. The teams are all starting between the 30 and 40 yard line now it’s just pathetic.

No to fair trials. Suspend habeas. Lock them up. They attacked the United States
I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.
End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.
And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

Perfect example of political media operating under the post-truth standard that (1) distorts the facts until the parties look approximately equal, and (2) holds “do MAGA voters care?” as a higher standard than “is it true?” or “is it important for the public to know about this?”
Wild to watch playbook run cover for this particular Trump scandal

Don’t go to the wrong house people. You make a mistake, you get shot dead, and there’s no legal remedy.
A cleaning woman showed up at the wrong house with her husband. Someone inside shot through the door, striking 32-year-old María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez in the head, killing her.

The way to get new constitutional amendments
1. Get a Dem president
2. Have him say 'I'm pardoning all the terrorists and serial killers in 90 days unless you remove my pardon power.
3. 'All of Congress? New EO You are put on the no fly list. Of course you can pass an amendment no more EO's.'

It is now time for minority leader Jeffries to swear in the new member from Arizona, Grijalva. There is no law against this. Would it work? Probably not. But it would force the house to act to prevent it. It would force THEM to react to US for once.

Thomas: If China held a US citizen hostage, could the president say the most effective way to get the hostage back is impose a tariff.
Katyal: No, bc revenue raising.
Also, what kind of nutty hypothesis would that be true?

Mark my words. As soon as the Supreme Court gives Trump the tariff powers? He will begin restructuring domestic tax policy to punish his enemies. Dems as usual completely unprepared.

I’ve been saying this for a while. You have 0 Democrats talking about bathrooms. Then you have a number of Democrats yelling “Stop talking about bathrooms!”

What if Ezra Klein doing analysis of why the Democrats aren't more popular is actually a key reason why the Democrats aren't more popular? I encourage him to stop writing for a while so we can test this hypothesis.
Donald Trump moderated the Republican Party on…trade?
