But anyone except Bernie will have the Bernie-or-bust crowd working against them as well. Regardless of whether or not he even runs. It's a mess.

Bernie also has the stigma of two failed runs and the stink of the "Bernie bros" on him. The right-wing media machine will turn the full brunt of its power against anyone who runs, as they have already been doing against Biden. At this point the only thing that matters is how well a candidate...

Bastille Day is still a national holiday in France, so they must believe it was worth it in the end. EDIT: Actually that's a good question; how do modern-day French people view the Revolution?

And yet he's going to run for reelection anyway just to block any actual progressives from getting the job, bet my life on it.

So, you're saying we should stage our own January 6?

Yeah, but it's not like Biden has been in hypersleep that whole time. Or is asleep right now. Just because he can remember a time when people who called themselves Republicans could be decent human beings shouldn't make him incapable of observing the outright villainy they're committing now...

And what, ultimately, was the point of any of it? Wasn't it already possible to get these games on all the current-generation platforms?

Hell with it, let's just burn the capital to the ground and install her as dictator.

I kind of miss when the big semiannual sales offered actual crazy deals on things worth getting, but I also remember buying a lot of games I ended up not liking or never getting around to playing just because TotalBiscuit made them sound fun, or because they had a native Linux port, or whatever...

Also worth noting, for as much as I've gone on about strict constructionists, looking at the actual text of the rulings, none of these decisions have actually been based on that, and aren't even trying to pretend they are. And that's exactly what happens when the process of choosing justices...

Unfortunately the first step was to get more true leftists onto the ballot instead of the blue dogs that are no doubt running in a lot of places, and the midterm primaries are all over. Actually the zeroth step was to make universal mail-in ballots a permanent institution, so that people who...

Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy.

The actual word of it is an incomprehensible mess of ambiguity and obsolete language. At the bare minimum it needs to be reworded to say exactly what we want it to mean. I don't claim to understand how the National Guard works, but I doubt a blanket repeal of the 2nd amendment would cause it to...

It just goes to show what a recent phenomenon "strict constructionists" really are. For generations, the US government has been run by people who mutually agreed to ignore any part of the Constitution they found inconvenient, because it's easier than trying to change it to reflect our modern...

Hmm. I wonder if there's such a thing as a Buddhist school. In western countries, I mean.

I was gonna say "which is why it's vitally important that he lose the ability to even run" but let's face it, anyone else who'd run instead of him would just be a more competent version of him and probably get more votes than he would have. In fact, every Republican who runs for president from...

Another question for y'all that I've been pondering: Now that we know what he did do when faced with an election loss, what do you think he would have done had he lost in 2016? The conventional wisdom at the time was that he was surprised by his win, and was actually planning to retire from...

On a slightly less savory note, it appalled me to hear multiple sitting members of Congress—the ones who are fighting against Trump, mind you—describe the US Constitution as "divinely inspired". Ugh. I'm pretty sure that counts as blasphemy, or at the very least heresy.

I actually listened to today's session of the hearing in full, and a good chunk of it focused on the election officials who had been targeted by Trump's mob during the recounts. They brought on an election official who had been name-dropped by Trump in one of his speeches. She and her mother had...

It's frankly amazing that they haven't already.
