  1. Ohio's is August 7th. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/democrats-plans-formally-nominate-biden-early-august-ahead-convention-rcna162320
  2. The [Dem candidate's name here] campaign should buy whole ad blocks and simply run 2-3 minutes of Trump's greatest rambling hits. That, plus ads highlighting 5-7 of Project 2025's most unpopular planks will give [Dem candidate's name here] a several point boost. And don't be afraid to just say what P2025 is really getting at: ending Social Security, ending Medicare, ENDING public education, criminalizing birth control and IVF, state overlordship of every womb, and ethnic cleansing. Take the fucking gloves off. I've become disinterested in the Biden will he/won't he melodrama. This election has to be a referrendum on Trump and quelling fascism. Make it about that, and we could put South Austin's mom in the WH. Tie every downballot Pub to Trump in the process, and maybe the Dems with stones can fix the damn system.
  3. Yes, or they could use the spending clause to coerce state compliance, like when Louisiana had highway money withheld until the increased the drinking age to 21. And no, the conservatives on the Court will not find ANY level of withheld spending to be unconstitutionally coercive in this instance. I'm sure we'd get a very pointed and well-written dissent, so we've got that going for us.
  4. You don't need to use the Force to have a strong influence on the weak-minded.
  5. Might? You really have a shred of remaining faith that this isn't a coup that has nothing to do with reason, precedent, logic, decency or any consideration other than it's time to put a handful of billionaires in complete control through a puppet king?
  6. He might've broken records for the number of concurrences, in part.
  7. You should learn the editor’s concept “kill your darlings.” When your writing doesn’t really convey the thought in your head (here apparently the exact opposite, you say) you really should let it go.
  8. Don’t get pissy ‘cause you suck at expressing yourself.
  9. Doubling down on the boot licking, I see. There’s zero chance that the flexibility here is anything other than the flexibility to pay workers less.
  10. Your take is idiotic. The “flexibility” in those proposals are just tools for fucking over workers. The whining about how hard it is and the cool shit companies would do if the hard shit didn’t exist is pure nonsense. You’re going to bat for fascists and it’s just sad to see.
  11. You didn't see posts #254, 255 and 258 on this page?
  12. The Holocaust needed to happen to teach people a lesson is certainly a position.
  13. Not a weird conundrum considering that's very much on brand for the GQP. Also, feature, not bug, librul tears etc.
  14. Donald Trump raped a 13 year old. That needs to be everywhere. It needs to be the first autocomplete in Google, on billboards in every city, in tv ads on every channel, in ads on every social, mentioned by every surrogate at the top of their tv appearance “Thank you for having me, remember Donald Trump raped a 13 year old, now it is very interesting you would say that about excise taxes …” Yes, to independents, this one matters. Donald Trump raped a 13 year old. Also, just go for fucking broke on Project 2025, “Donald Trump wants to end Social Security and Medicare. He wants your taxes to go up. He wants your meds to cost more. He wants to ignore the 3rd Amendment and put troops in your house. and bring back Prima Nocta.” Make them play defense you dumb fuck pussies. Stop whinging and make them afraid of that con man. Make it so the Dem nominee, whether it’s Biden, Harris or Carrot Top, is better for them financially.
  15. Donald Trump is just the man to lead us through the debate over whether we call it the Semiquincentennial, the Bisesquincentennial, the Sestercentennial or the Quarter Millennial. There's nothing he does better than labels and precisely pronouncing complicated words.
  16. That's a glass half-empty (and understandable) take on this tweet. The half-full take is Kamala may be president. Take a moment from doomscrolling and allow yourself to believe, even just to calm the nerves.
  17. Hell, with her you can run Operation Let Trump Speak, just about hide her in Nixon's bowling alley and you've got a shot. Just make sure the public only hears "what can be, unburdened by what has been" a few times. And maybe get Sorkin to write her a half dozen new catch phrases. If she becomes the nominee, what are the odds Drumpf throws out the n-word, maybe just once to test the waters?
  18. There’s only one splash nominee out there, though. Urban Meyer or bust.
  19. Why would that hurt the GQP this time, asks Merrick Garland.
