destroying the supreme court by using congress’ constitutional power to change the number of justices nationalreview.com/2020/10/court-…
this, to me, represents open fear that conservatives are about to lose 40 years of work. and they should. it’s the only reasonable response to a party that inflicted donald trump on the country and the world.
my case for expanding the entire federal judiciary is just that you don’t get to keep your ill-gotten gains.
you sold your soul to get some judges and the scheme resulted in a world historical disaster that might cost you control of the federal government? too bad! shouldn’t have done it.

finally wrote out something i have been saying for awhile: trump is bad at politics! nytimes.com/2020/10/07/opi…
ignore the pandemic for a moment. trump was an underdog at the start of the year despite presiding over a robust economic expansion! that alone is evidence he’s dogshit at electoral politics!
from a purely cynical perspective, covid was a tremendous opportunity for trump. work with democrats to pass a big bipartisan stimulus and relief package, work with health authorities to contain the virus, coast to reelection after three years of controversy and unpopularity.

people trump is 8 to 10 points behind in this race. the people who have tuned in to learn something want to hear how he’ll tackle the pandemic and the downturn. and all he’s done is yell and rant about fox news shit. he’s not doing a single thing he needs to recover lost ground!
let me make this clearer: Trump’s task isn’t to dominate Biden and rev up his base — they are already revved up as much as they could possibly be. Trump’s task is to convince skeptical voters he has a handle on the challenges facing the country. and that’s not happening.
again, i know i am a blue check lib in a college town, but this debate is 70 percent trump ranting and raving, 30 percent biden and wallace attempting to have a conversation, and trying to deal with the disruption on the other side. it’s not a good look!

i played hundreds of hours of sim city 3000 on our home computer
also a lot of magic the gathering with friends
i think this was around the time they built a library that was a short (but in retrospect very dangerous) bike ride away from my neighborhood, so i also spent a ton of time just reading books in the library

trump administration looking for ever more ways to keep Africans and Asians out of the country
like, seriously, what plausible, non-racist rationale is there for effectively banning Nigerian and Filipino students?
and notice the rule is “born in.” are you a British-Nigerian whose parents came to the UK when you were a small child? well, uncle sam says you can’t come here to get an education!

the official position of the president and presumably the white house is you effectively do not have a right to vote if you may vote against the president
urging the courts to throw out millions of lawfully cast ballots is denying the right to vote and that is how we should cover it
yes. trump is openly threatening to plunge the country into chaos and violence if the courts do not throw out as many ballots as they can find and install him as president

“cops can legally execute you in the street or in your home for any reason whatsoever” and “cops overwhelmingly support the would-be authoritarian president who seeks to hold power against the wishes of the public” are two bad tastes that taste even worse together!
the man she was sleeping next to shot his weapon after a no-knock raid in which cops burst down the door without announcing themselves.
i see the “please tread on me, i beg you” crowd has arrived
