Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes
The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

Thinking about the time I was in a Sarajevo hostel this summer and I somehow mentioned I was Jewish to this Turkish guy there and he politely asked me for financial advice and to increase his credit score. Probably the most wholesome form of antisemitism I’ve ever experienced

this is completely inarguable to anyone who actually *looks* at the data we have
if anything, he left the race far too late and singularly more at fault than anyone else for trump’s win

Two main conclusions from this Fuentes-Carlson interview:
1) MAGA has tried to keep Fuentes out of mainstream circles for years—and knows it failed. The movement’s shift to increasingly radical rhetoric, especially in TPUSA circles, was in part them trying to compete for the youth’s attention. 1/n

Tucker Carlson's latest guest? White nationalist leader Nick Fuentes.
Carlson and Fuentes have been at loggerheads for years. Earlier this year, Carlson said Fuentes had an "angry gay kid thing going on."
I don't think this kind of episode would've happened prior to Charlie Kirk's death.

It’s especially aggravating because it acts as if the reaction to these policies would be the exact same if they were propagated by a president who could actually speak and talk and think
This nearly total retconning, by Dems themselves, of what the Democratic Party was actually doing between 2017 and 2024 is becoming really pervasive (esp in policy world) and I honestly don't have a good explanation for why the party is treating the babies (ARP, BIL, IRA) as if they're the bathwater
what the hell are you talking about man, biden's entire presidency was about the middle class. it was the entire political theory behind deliverism and the economy

This is a good example of what I mean when I talk about how discourse about Israel/Palestine in the US (and especially in Liberal Zionist circles) treats the Occupation itself and Israeli state policy as entirely incidental to the entire situation. It's very weird.
This is correct but to make this argument, Mamdani and his allies would have to abandon the BDS movement and its anti-normalization litmus test. They have not and will not, and so open themselves up to these critiques.

The NYPD is ripe for top-to-bottom reform. Does Zohran Mamdani have it in him?

I do kinda think the notion that Biden was drawing dead in the counterfactual where the party doesn’t knife him has been agreed to by acclaim more than it has been argued

It also acts as if the Democratic Party is a stronger institution than it actually is
the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Then they’ll just break the law. Who’s going to stop them? Who has the guns?
The Twelfth Amendment: "No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
It's not ambiguous. It's not hard to parse.
It's not ambiguous. It's not hard to parse.
That theory is wildly wrong (a VP candidate has to be eligible to become president) but why are you tossing him suggestions for how he can violate the Constitution?
Who asked this? Is this what we can expect from the new and improved White House press corps?
