Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:This election has been frustratingly light on actual policy proposals from any candidates. However, Biden is reportedly finally going to introduce some of his 2024 campaign platform at the State of Union address. Proposing new FTC regulations as the cornerstone of the State of the Union when SCOTUS is on the verge of annihilating Chevron Deference may have some flaws as a political strategy.

““Remember, every communist regime throughout history has tried to stamp out the churches, just like every fascist regime has tried to co-opt them and control them,” Trump told hundreds of cheering attendees at the National Religious Broadcasters International Christian Media Convention in Nashville.” I could choke on the irony.

I feel like the cnn international edition homepage used to be markedly better and less tabloid-y than the US one, but it seems about the same now in that regard

The legislative stuff is definitely just to position himself somewhere and have a bill to pass if he gets re-elected. There is very little chance those pass. The FTC stuff was always happening, but I guess the strategy is to hype it up a lot more because this specific time they are going after grocery chains.

The dog thing is such a weird aspect of his presidency, like is it an intentional distraction, huge needlessly forced error, weird plot by the secret service? It's just such a dumb thing I can't help but think there is more to it, when there probably isn't.

It'd tickle my cold little heart if it ends up that Commander was biting all the Trumpist SS agents trying to hurt his owner, and it'd actually make for a comedic family movie. Assassination plot foiled by loyal watchdog as bumbling owner never realizes what's happening and wacky-haired villain throws temper tantrum as his goons keep failing.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Many of the reports say the incidents happened when Biden wasn't around, so probably not that. Considering a cop's first instinct upon seeing a barking dog is to empty the clip into it, if anything we should be commending these SS agents upon their restraint in not giving into their base instincts.

Florida's legislature passed a law that is going to immediately trigger a legal case they will probably lose, but will be interesting to see. They are attempting to ban all forms of social media for people 16 and under that feature auto-scrolls, feeds, or "addictive features" designed to cause excessive or addictive use. They believe they will get around any potential first amendment issues because it only applies to minors and only targets specific harmful features rather than speech itself. quote:Florida lawmakers pass ban on social media for kids under 16 despite constitutional concerns https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-n..._source=twitter

The FBI source who was just recently indicted for lying about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden to the FBI, and whose testimony was what the GOP based most of the impeachment proceedings on, and later admitted he was passing on information from Russian intelligence sources without proof has just been rearrested after it appears that his attorneys were trying to facilitate an attempt to have him flee to an unspecified foreign country (assumed to be Russia) before he could be prosecuted. https://twitter.com/JoyceWhiteVance/status/1761092262186963257

It's just such a dumb thing I can't help but think there is more to it, when there probably isn't.  The dog thing is entirely inconsequential and not part of anyone's political schemes except for bored reporters and right-wingers desperate to find something, anything to criticize about Biden that doesn't sound completely insane.
