Donnie got dumpstered at the appellate record in the National Archives case, 3-0. https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1469057109778173954 14 days to appeal to the supreme court (likely), but that side of the delaydelaydelay tactic isn't working out so well. My personal thought is that it doesn't much matter, as even if clear, convincing evidence comes out that Donnie straight ordered the insurrectionists to go in (and it was close enough), no minds will really be changed. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Dec 9, 2021 |

At least make them fight for it, and if you think you're not qualified for the job, so what, neither is the right-wing shithead running. He's just using it to spread bullshit and look toward moving up in the next election. Sorry friend, Until or unless Democrats get voting rights reform passed, Biden signs it, and the supreme court doesn't toss it Georgia is a lost cause at this point unless you wanna run for a mayor/position in basically a 99% democrat area such as City of Atlanta. Republicans have basically made it law in this state that the only fair elections in this state are overseen exclusively by republicans and the only rules that are fair are what ever they say it is, and if a Democrat wins, well obviously there's malfeasance so we have to run it back.

bird food bathtub posted:This, gerrymandering, putting loyalists in key positions. Jan 6th was a practice run. They saw what stopped them and now they're fixing that. There won't be another election in this country again, and the supreme court will say it's legal. There are still elections in Russia. Ours will become about that valid but they will still happen because it will "prove" that we're still a democracy.

Get a bunch of your friends to flood the meeting and go become the county chair, gently caress that guy double E: 90% chance everyone else that goes to the meetings hates him too but he's still hanging on because nobody else wants the job.

I am aware that the Pearl Harbor attack did not occur in a vacuum, however her point was that it directly catapulted the US into the war and thus leading to over 400,000 further American dead because of it. And if we do not do something about the current status quo that is American Politics and how corrupted they are by the MIC and certain Media outlets, it could catapult the US into something worse.

Yeah, except her point is stupid because she is a major player in everything she says is a threat. She is the threat she is "afraid" of. She is directly responsible for the very thing she is lambasting. She didn't make a point, she made a hype reel for idiots.

About as good as you're ever going to get from a Gorsuch opinion, but clearly dumb legal weasel word bullshit to avoid (edit: outright) tossing a dumbfuck abortion bounty program: https://twitter.com/SCOTUSblog/status/1469323202237280268?t=nEapBfVZbFOGJrsa3IdjTg&s=19 https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/1469324139915841539?t=0orBZErKJYZRptEtMBWrBw&s=19 https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1469323885887766538?t=KNM9f6MFqprPyTUtONPgGg&s=19 Edit: so the general analysis is that SB8 is now hosed because there are now state officials that the abortion clinics can sue, instead of playing whack-a-mole against private lawsuits. That theoretically makes the law tossable by a district court federal judge, which SB8 was trying to avoid. Edit2: but it could survive because a lot of the legal routes were shut off by this decision! It's pretty bullshit. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Dec 10, 2021 |

The general analysis of basically everything is that every wacky-rear end attempt to use the legal system to make Donnie into a dictator made it into the White House before January 6th. It's unclear how much of that was actually *made* in the White House - like all that Meadows poo poo could've been FWD: FWD: RE: RE: that anyone with a functional legal degree in the administration immediately knocked down. They couldn't make any of that bullshit stick (somehow), so they looked to get people to falsely confess to election rigging, to then use those confessions as justification to execute those playbooks as shown on powerpoint slides like those. When none of that worked, the happy accident (maybe more) of the insurrectionists came in, plus strategic use of sitting on their hands at the military level, led to now. And so, now they're doing their best to replace the low-level legal/election people with toadies so that 2024 can be different, Donnie or not.

Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This is a technical weasel opinion that starts the process of the regular court system striking down TX's law because it's dumb as poo poo legally. By the time that has happened the decision in Dobbs will be out and TX can just ban abortion directly.
