How many times have you been divorced?

Absolutely incapable of beating those allegations. It’s sad, really.

Evidence is mounting in support of the Rex is illiterate theory.

Yup, same guy. Pride of the Houston Rockets right there.

Another obvious point: there is nobody else. All of the people involved with planning Project 2025 are the only people who have been vetted for positions in the next Trump administration and there are no more normal Republicans to take those jobs. His administration would still be staffed with all of the same people pursuing all of the same policies.

What I get from that is Royce really likes getting peed on.

I've got to admit, I did not see "I'm not persuadable because I'm functionally illiterate" coming.

Imagine being too scared to engage with the facts that you "TLDR!" two sentences with two supporting links. Couldn't be me.

Two sentences is long, huh?

I really don't know why you engage with these guys, man. What they think is very clear: Palestinians aren't people, they deserve the most vile treatment imaginable, and those who inflict that treatment on them are morally good for doing so. You're not going to convince them otherwise.

Too many repeats, not enough fresh material.

Hard to imagine a more cursed mashup.

The only existential threat to Israel is its own right wing. We're maybe a couple of months away from Ben Gvir openly advocating concentration camps for disloyal Jews.

Congress is accountable to the people. The Supreme Court is not. ETA: I see this has been covered already. As to the idea that term limits would make Congress more accountable, it's actually the opposite:

I don't know how effective it will be because there's always a ridiculous gap between votes on specific policies and votes on the politicians who support and oppose those policies, but she has an easy argument to make that their vote to protect abortion won't matter if Trump wins.

It’s actually because of Harris, she wanted to use weird as an attack against Trump in 2020. But Walz knew that and was smart to run with it immediately.

It's exactly the same sport: SCOTUS calvinball. The Dems need to make sure this SCOTUS understands that the American people won't let them get away with it again.

They didn't have incumbency in 2000 either. Edit: And my point isn't to just tell people it's all doomed. It's to get them fucking talking about the risk with people they know. Because ultimately what will make Trump judges back down is the fear of what will happen to them if they don't, and making sure they feel that fear requires that shitloads of people start talking about this and it gets covered in the media.

Those already exist for members of Congress, but sure we can probably tighten them up. The only problem is that this SCOTUS will say they're unconstitutional, so I guess Dems will also need to do something to fix that.

He's trying to satirize Democratic claims about Project 2025. He just sucks ass at it and it comes across as extra-stupid from a guy who posts "Civil War!" every other month.

Those of you who don't think there's any serious danger posed by the GOP's plans to contest the election because they failed last time don't actually remember what happened last time. Last time, Trump simply assumed that because Republican officials were involved in administering elections in swing states, they would rig the election for him. They had no legal strategy to speak of and had to scramble with Rudy and Sidney Powell and Lin Wood to try to come up with some shit they could throw at the wall after-the-fact. That is not what will happen this time. This time, they're much better prepared and have quite literally replaced all of those people who didn't rig the election for Trump last time with people they trust to do so this time. That doesn't mean they can definitely rig it (see Js1's post noting the differences between 2020 and 2024), but the legal arguments they will make will have a much greater appearance of legitimacy and may give Trump judges enough pretext to fuck with the election and try to prevent the timely certification of the correct electors and throw it to the House. It's very much within the realm of possibility that they could fabricate enough smoke for this SCOTUS to issue an order enjoining the governors of say, Arizona and Pennsylvania from submitting electors. Just because SCOTUS refused to accept the harebrained insanity that was filed late and often in the wrong fucking courts by Trump's dipshit crew last time doesn't mean they won't try to steal the election when they think they have a more acceptable pretext for doing so. And their recent behavior makes it clear that they're more desperate to install a permanent Republican dictator now than they were in 2020, so if anything their bar for what is an acceptable pretext is likely lower this year than it was in 2020. Dems need to not just sit around and wait for this to happen. They need to go on the offensive, both in terms of a public PR campaign making clear what the GOP intends to do and in terms of FBI investigations. Because an election official refusing to certify an election without a valid basis for doing so is almost certainly a federal crime and it needs to be made very fucking clear that anyone who does not faithfully carry out their duties will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. And Democratic elected officials at the state and federal level need to speak out in a unified voice that SCOTUS doesn't have the last or only say on this.

Does anyone have any faith that Merrick Garland is on top of this shit?

Man, I can pretty much guarantee you a twitter bluecheck account isn't far left. That's just some guy looking to stir shit up for attention.

Beto generated his own grassroots energy with his campaign. Allred could do the same, but he'd rather just do nothing and apparently also support crypto? What a stupid asshole.

It can and should be said in many different ways with the focus on different aspects of Trump's character and Project 2025, but the gist of Democratic messaging should be that every Republican is a weird little creep because they're all socially maladjusted and irresponsible, and they want to push women out of public life and back into the home because the men are incapable of taking care of themselves or their families and need to be able to force women to do that for them.
