Quite plausible that this is 1.) the hardest he has ever worked in his life and 2) the most difficult exam he has ever taken.

Just looking at that.

Positive we’re gonna learn this is some Neo Nazi chatroom thing.

Supreme Court taking a Home-Depot-selling-holiday-decor approach to election eves. The next election eve starts the day after the previous election.

Elections are every two years. We’re literally at the farthest point it’s possible to be from an election.

It’s not ideal but in the end this is how civilization will be saved. By an awful person who’s finally had enough because they have personal experience of the thing being insulted.

Everybody’s uncle predicted socialism in 2020.

He got the color right.

Old enough to remember when Cuomo said he was the only one who could placate Trump’s wrath.

“No no no, Gary. My rabid, dehumanizing hatred is for *Muslims*, see? Their rabid, dehumanizing hatred is toward Jews. It’s totally different!”

Bet it’s still enforced for Democrats though.

You mean Qatari lobbyist Pam Bondi? She’s the one who stopped enforcement of the law that would require disclosure from herself?

They may try similarly to 2020: hapless court cases, muddying the water, maybe even another mob. I don’t think it will be more persuasive than last time. I don’t think Trump will be on the ballot again either.

But I also worry that fear of accountability is their strongest argument not to cede power, and that fear is getting worse the more crimes they commit.

The short version is I think the progress of his cognitive decline will make it impossible to continue to hold power in 1-2 years, and there’s no one else who can control MAGA like him. And I think we win Congress back next year

I’m not one of those who think they’re not planning to relinquish power, but this would be prime evidence if you’re so inclined. It’s Dictator’s Handbook stuff: the Party becomes linked by complicity in crime, so they can’t turn on the leader who’s their only protection from accountability.

Authorization from whom? The law is meaningless if he (or his DOJ) can simply authorize it, like it was a multimillion-dollar settlement to himself.
