It’s both depressing and darkly hilarious how Lawfare posting has gone from “we got him on an Article 33, Clause 8, Subsection Alpha infraction, baby cannon time!” to *slams whisky bottle down* “the law is fake and I challenge John Roberts to a fistfight at the Walmart parking lot.”

The gutting thing is when I speak to anybody under 25 or so, and they… don’t know this is unusual. The only America they’ve ever known is this openly corrupt, broken one.
I obviously had… low expectations for this year once the election was called but i honestly think the first moment I Knew how screwed we were — as a nation, our politics, or democratic health, our media — was the trump doj Eric Adams scandal just came & went, like it was another thing in the news

In conclusion, if Dems aren't talking about how Trump et al are stripping Secret Service protection from their politicial enemies—and aren't imposing political consequences on those who use violent threats to expand their power—then Dems aren't actually serious about stopping political violence.

when history reflects on how trump managed to so quickly and so thoroughly kneecap democracy, the role of the Roberts Court cannot be overstated. trump's an amoral monster, but his biggest successes were only possible thanks to conservative justices who would bless them
