Many physicians I know are brilliant in a very concentrated field of knowledge, and painfully stupid in almost every other aspect of their lives.

He should.  And it's cool if he does, because thanks to the SCOTUS,  PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY!!!

I liked “the Depravity of Justice.” As in, Justice itself is depraved. Which may actually be how he views real justice.

Just had a text convo with my anti-dotard buddy who is floating the idea of a dotard landslide.  Now I'm on the fucking Ledge.  Like WAY out there.  @Brisketexan what do we have to drink?

[Hefeweizen 5310]

Skullduggery is just criminally underused.  I for one salute Turnip for adding it to his word salad.

Too little, too late. 

Won't be too hard to find "editors" who will kneel before the MAGA Fuhrer for a huge paycheck and proximity to fascist power in action and all the "news" that will generate. Pre-WW2 Nazi Germany is the historical model Team MAGA and Team Billionaire are following.

How? Here are some key reasons: Cowardly legacy media and cowardly billionaires who refuse to stand up to Trump and MAGA. And/or billionaires who agree with Trump/MAGA. That's how!

Which is interesting, because in general, more Democrats vote R in presidential elections. But that was only slightly true in 2016, Biden got more R voters than Trumo got Democrats 2020, and with any luck that will hold in this election as well.

According to the supreme court he would be immune from prosecution if he did. @TwiceHorn is that correct? Serious question.

So the newest talking point for the last few days for the radical republicans is turnip is going to win the popular vote.

Yeah, I renewed recently. I am giving them a call and telling them I am cancelling.  Fuck that.

I am about to do the same with the NY Times. They are still endorsing presidents, but they are going to stop for state and local elections.  That is just fucking stupid.

Also they continue to employ Bret Stephens.

I don't know about murdered but Biden should absolutely order that anyone who tries something be arrested and imprisoned. He's old, he's on the way out, and SCOTUS says he has immunity for official actions. Protection of federal elections is absolutely an official action. Throw them in prison immediately and let SCOTUS sort it out.

Remember when Dotard was promising to release all the evidence he had compiled that showed the 2020 election had been stolen? He never did. Guess he must have forgotten.

battleground state tracking polls have been off by 3-4 points, and they tend to herd in the same direction. In 2008 and 2012, they underestimated Obama. In 2016 and 2020, they underestimated Trump. In 2022, they underestimated Democratic house and Senate candidates.  

The current polls (the good ones) are working very hard not to underestimate Trump this time.  So: these are the possibilities:
1) The polls are right and it's a jump ball, coming down to legal manuevers in close states, like 2000.
2) They underestimate Trump, because polling is just very hard.  He wins 300+ EVs and it's over early, like 2016.
3) They underestimate Harris, because polling is just very hard.  She wins 300+ EVs and it's over early, like 2012

This.  The playbook being run by MAGA, and by the legacy media kneeling at their feet, isn't just "similar."

According to the supreme court he would be immune from prosecution if he did. @TwiceHorn is that correct? Serious question. 

To be absolutely immune, the action would have to be tied to a "core constitutional responsibility."  For example, Smith took the DOJ evidence out of the case, because a President dealing with his AG (or acting) or deputies, is a core responsibility.  Likely meaning a power/duty expressly listed in Article II or elsewhere.

On the other end, what is not immune are things done in a personal capacity or outside of the outer perimeter of presidential responsibility.

In the middle are things that are presumptively immune, where the presumption is rebutted by a showing that prosecution for that type of presidential action wouldn't have a "chilling effect" on the legitimate exercise of presidential responsibility in the future.

So, you'd have to be able to characterize it as a core constitutional responsibility.

Have friends already waiting in line for the Harris Rally, it is already a madhouse.   They really should have picked a bigger venue, but maybe none were available on such short notice.   Either way, I expect it to be rocking tonight.

NRG is a voting site, so logistically would have been hard to shut it down for a rally 

Rockets play at home tonight 

Maybe Crane said no for MMP? 

UH campus might have said no for logistics

I'm not sure TDECU could hold as many people as what is listed in their capacity. It's more of a theory.

I was told originally it was going to be at Minute Maid.   Crane has supported Democrats in the past, but maybe didn't want the attention, not sure.  UH was likely a nog go due to school being in session, thus zero parking.

TDECU holds double what Dynamo stadium does, but no available parking.

Wonder if the rockets game down the street made it logistically hard. Easier to do it on the other side of 59

A full arena plus tens of thousands turned away isn't the worst visual for Houston, TX, however.
