  1. It's kinda too late at that point. You really think once he starts offing people who piss him off the justices are going to be willing to stand up against him? As to SCOTUS not ruling on hypotheticals, c'mon man. They literally rule on made-up facts when they find it convenient. It didn't matter to them one bit that the underlying factual allegations in 303 Creative were lies.
  2. This really should be the giant flashing neon light cluing you in that you're in the wrong here.
  3. You notice he doesn't remotely explain how they're wrong?
  4. You and Twice have terminal cases of lawyer brain. Treatment is available if y'all admit you need help.
  5. You said the Court got the immunity decision right. They in effect ruled that the President could assassinate his rivals. That was literally argued in oral arguments and the dissenting justices made clear in their dissent that's how they interpreted the majority's reasoning. See above. It's not remotely hyperbole.
  6. You think the Court got it right when it ruled, without any Constitutional text, history, or structure in support of their ruling, that implicit in the Constitution is presidential immunity for assassinating his political rivals?
  7. Hey look, the libertarian is bragging about how popular a lawless Trump dictatorship is.
  8. The thing John Roberts cares about most of all is maintaining the appearance of the Court's legitimacy in the eyes of the public. He will not issue an order that Trump will disregard, because the moment that happens the Court loses all public legitimacy as a co-equal branch of government. This isn't complicated.
  9. Low key one of the most destructive myths American culture developed was the idea that fascists made the trains run on time.
  10. Anastasis Libertarians everywhere approve.
  11. Ana is pro-arson and has been pretty clear about that for a long time.
  12. Ana has been acting especially Johnny Sacky lately.
  13. To the Tesla owners, I get why you don't necessarily want to rush to sell your cars right this second and it's not some moral failing. But just for your own benefit, I do think y'all should consider how likely he is to get even worse and even more embarrassing, and how likely your position is going to shift from "not yet" to "fuck I gotta sell this tomorrow" within the next like 6 months. There's no way it takes more than 12 months, certainly not 10 fucking years. Much sooner than later every one of you will have changed your minds because it's just that embarrassing. So why not just go ahead and do it now?
  14. Neg the troll and move on you idoits.
  15. States under Dem control are preferable in that they're not totalitarian dystopias, but they're not exactly well run. E.g., California and New York Dems are actively sabotaging their own political power because they're such fucking NIMBYs they don't want anyone new moving into their neighborhoods.
  16. These morons quite literally see LLMs as essentially magic.
  17. Abandoned in the Middle of Clinical Trials, Because of a Court Order The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care. Fucking gibbets for every fucking person who voted for him and every other asshole who maybe didn't but sat back and cheered about how cool it was to see everything burn, and that'll be more mercy than they deserve.
  18. I think you should post who these false reporters are.
  19. Within a couple of months, these complaints will seem quaint. These assholes are so reckless I wouldn't be surprised if they start crashing (more) planes any moment now.
  20. How bout you go first, given how necessary you seem to think it is?
  21. Ana is running around digging holes in his home's foundation to own us. Shit, now he's threatening to set his house on fire! Don't do that man, it'd really own us!
  22. As a practical matter, short of calling for an armed uprising there isn't much the Democratic party can do other than throw sand in the gears of government and pound the table to try and draw attention to all the worst shit Trump/Elon are doing. Hell, the MSM is still barely covering Elon's coup. So yeah, they need to come up with something that resonates just to get the media to actually cover this shit.
  23. We could use a lot more of this fucking attitude.
  24. Speaking purely as an electoral issue, Biden and Harris fucked up on Israel/Palestine after October 7. They did nothing to keep voters who felt that was a key issue on side. Now, there's a lot of dipshit gen Z "leftists" who post on social media about how it's because Dems love genocide, which is stupid as hell. That's not Fantana, though. Dems fucked this up for the same reason they fuck everything up: they've got no actual understanding of voters so love to commission a hundred focus groups and look at a thousand polls before figuring out their political stance on anything. They're indecisive pussies who love paralysis by analysis. And they drastically misunderstood Bibi and the modern Israeli state. So Biden spent an entire year letting Bibi publicly embarrass him repeatedly while the State Department kept scrambling to pretend that it wasn't as bad as the entire world could see it obviously was. I don't even necessarily think Biden stopping weapon sales once it became clear Israel didn't give a fuck how many civilians and children it killed would've swung the election; it could've turned off just as many voters who barely voted D (if not more) than they turned away with their cowardice. But what they did was consistent with the image much of the public has of Democrats as feckless pussies who won't fight for anything. And that's an image they've earned through incredibly hard and consistent efforts at being nearly the biggest pussies they could be for several decades. I can and do blame the voters. I can and do blame the Democrats who fucked it up too. There's no shortage of blame to go around. But if we're lucky enough to still have fair elections in 2 years, we'll both need to persuade a lot of voters to stop treating voting like they're fucking consumers who only need to vote for a candidate if they really really like them, and get Democratic officials and candidates to realize that they've got to deal with the voters who actually exist and not mythological voters they dream up in their heads who might as well be aliens for all they resemble actual people.
