Today, we ran the third installment of a 3-part series by Moscow Never Sleeps, on how to fix the Supreme Court—without packing the court (or winning the Senate). The series provides ample historical context & also a blueprint for what the Dems should—what we MUST—do.

[THREAD]
1/ Part one concerns Clarence Thomas (and his wife, Virginia Lamp). Did you know that SCOTUS justices can formally retire/take senior status? I didn’t either.

Read this:

2/ Part two involves Brett Kavanaugh. @lincolnsbible & I have our own deep dive on this coming, for which I looked again at his murky finances, and HOLY CRAP are they suspect. We don’t need to impeach him. We just have to convince him to resign.

3/ Part three is chasing Amy. We are stuck with her, alas. But Moscow shares his thoughts on how that came about, and how we need to start fighting fire with fire.

These are at my Substack, PREVAIL. Lots and lots of Trump/Russia and other stuff in the archive. Please consider joining the mailing list or subscribing. Thanks!

Trump is broke broke broke. What a phony. What a loser.
The debts coming due in the next few years, which he personally guaranteed, would ruin him...although he's already ruined.
This looks mobby to me: "That equation is a key element of the alchemy of Mr. Trump’s finances: using the proceeds of his celebrity to purchase and prop up risky businesses, then wielding their losses to avoid taxes."

As promised, here's my piece in @damemagazine, in which I discuss lessons I learned from the 2000 election. Chief among them: don't listen to Michael Moore.

"Yes, New York went to Gore despite my protest vote. But my individual enthusiasm for Nader helped build a movement, and that movement convinced voters in other states that 'voting your conscience' was a swell idea. And by 'other states,' I mean Florida."
For anyone thinking of voting third party, or protest-voting, or sitting this one out because Bernie got robbed or whatever, here are some inconvenient, if not awful, truths:

In case you don’t have time to read all the books, here’s a quick summation.

[THREAD]
1/ Peter Strzok: Putin has so much control over Donald John Trump that it’s a blinking red national security risk.
2/ Bob Woodward: Trump knew exactly in early February what the virus was & how it spread, but chose to sit on his small hands & let it spread because he thought it would help his re-election chances by killing voters in NY, NJ, and CA.

Let’s talk about why Joe Biden should pick Kamala Harris to be the next vice president of these United States.

[THREAD] Image
1/ The actuarial chances that the VP will ascend to the White House in the next four years are much higher than usual. Historically, the VP has to be someone who could take over as Chief Executive if the unthinkable happened.
2/ In 2020, thanks to the coronavirus, and Trump's bungling of the response, there is a not-insignificant chance that the VP might have to take over AS THE CANDIDATE…maybe even BEFORE Election Day.
