That is not Clarence Thomas' defining feature. What does define Clarence, something he shares with run-of-the-mill Republicans, is that he is crooked. Clarence's unique spin on crookedness is that he takes bribes in exchange for favorable Supreme Court decisions. He has the temerity to deny what he is obviously doing. Clarence should be Trump's Vice-President, since they are two of a kind.

I didn't say it was.

One defining feature of a woman should be that she knows what a woman is.

At least one of the Democrat women on the Supreme Court cannot answer that question for you if you asked her. I think they should all be asked that question.

Since Trump had so much sex with strangers, I can see why Republicans are weird about instantly knowing the sex of another person. Republicans have sex with far too many people and they are afraid of mistakenly having it with the wrong sex. Vote for Trump and Clarence in 2024 because of the mistakes they make. (Clarence almost did not become a Supreme Court justice because of mistakes he made in his sex life. Trump has to pay millions for the sex mistakes he made.)

Another "straw-man"? Another reason not to vote for Republicans: 48% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine is unsafe. The conservative politicians and conservative media that created this situation should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

And to what end? It isn't even a partisan issue. It's not as if Joe Biden would get a surge in the polls if Republicans got themselves vaccinated, after all. It's just a completely craven attempt to spread a dangerous conspiracy theory in service of undermining support for government services of any kind.

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/23/gop-voters-vaccines-poll-0011
7125

Republicans want nothing and nobody to interfere with a conservative movement that can only exist amid a huge web of lies. Vaccinations are unsafe. Trump won the election. Climate change is a hoax. Joe Biden is a crook. Voter fraud in Democratic cities is endemic. January 6 was a peaceful demonstration. COVID originated with a Chinese lab leak. The FBI has been weaponized against Republicans. Social media is a liberal cesspool.

The reason that disinformation fighters spend a lot of time on Republican lies is that Republicans lie a lot. It's that simple.

With a disruptive government shutdown just days away, Washington is in the grip of an ultraconservative minority that sees the federal government as a threat to the republic, a dangerous monolith to be broken apart with little regard for the consequences. They have styled themselves as a wrecking crew aimed at the nation’s institutions on a variety of fronts.

They are eager to impeach the president and even oust their own Speaker of the House of Representatives if he doesn’t accede to their every demand. They have refused to allow their own party to debate a Pentagon spending bill or approve routine military promotions — a striking posture given that unflinching support for the armed forces has long been a bedrock of Republican orthodoxy.

Defying the G.O.P.’s longstanding reputation as the party of law and order, they have pledged to handcuff the F.B.I. and throttle the Justice Department. Members of the party of Ronald Reagan refused to meet with a wartime ally, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, this week when he visited the Capitol and want to eliminate assistance to his country, a democratic nation under siege from an autocratic aggressor.

And they are unbowed by guardrails that in past decades forced consensus even in the most extreme of conflicts; this is the same bloc that balked at raising the debt ceiling in the spring to avert a federal debt default.

“There is a group of Republican members who seem to feel there is no limit at all as to how you can wreck the system,” said Ross K. Baker, a professor of political science at Rutgers University. “There are no boundaries, no forbidden zones. They go where relatively junior members have feared to tread in the past.”

Is America uniquely vulnerable to tyranny?

By Zack Beauchamp, Sep 24, 2023

In The Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew are forced to navigate a strait bounded by two equally dangerous obstacles: Scylla, a six-headed sea serpent, and Charybdis, an underwater horror that sucks down ships through a massive whirlpool. Judging Charybdis to be a greater danger to the crew as a whole, Odysseus orders his crew to try and pass through on Scylla’s side. They make it, but six sailors are eaten in the crossing.

In their new book Tyranny of the Minority, Harvard political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt — the authors of How Democracies Die — argue America’s founders faced an analogous problem: navigating between two types of dictatorship that threatened to devour the new country.

The founders, per Levitsky and Ziblatt, were myopically focused on one of them: the fear of a majority-backed demagogue seizing power. As a result, they made it exceptionally difficult to pass new laws and amend the constitution. But the founders, the pair argues, lost sight of a potentially more dangerous monster on the other side of the strait: a determined minority abusing this system to impose its will on the democratic majority.

“By steering the republic so sharply away from the Scylla of majority tyranny, America’s founders left it vulnerable to the Charybdis of minority rule,” they write.

This is not a hypothetical fear. According to Levitsky and Ziblatt, today’s America is currently being sucked down the anti-democratic whirlpool.

The Republican Party, they argue, has become an anti-democratic institution, its traditional leadership cowed by Trump and a racially reactionary base. As such, it is increasingly willing to twist legal tools designed to check oppressive majorities into tools for imposing its policy preferences on an unwilling majority. The best way out of this dilemma, in their view, is radical legal constitutional reform that brings the American system more in line with other advanced democracies.

Tyranny of the Minority is an exceptionally persuasive book. I think it is almost inarguably correct about both the nature of the modern Republican Party and the ways in which it exploits America’s rickety Constitution to subvert its democracy. I come to some similar conclusions in my own forthcoming book on democracy, The Reactionary Spirit (which, full disclosure, has benefited significantly from Levitsky’s feedback in drafting).

Trump edges out Biden 51-42 in head-to-head matchup: POLL

That's the third highest poll for this election cycle that Trump has ever had, and the highest poll for Trump in 2023.

Yahoo's poll now shows a Tie, when its last poll from August 31st showed Biden with a 6 point lead. Many other polls, from lefty sites, have given a 2 to 4 point swing toward Trump since their last polls.

Also...

Trump up 1.1 points on the polling aggregate now: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2024/president/us/general-ele

In 1803’s Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court gave itself expansive power to strike down legislation that was not explicitly granted in the Constitution. More recently, the filibuster emerged as a de facto 60-vote requirement for passing legislation in the Senate — a practice similar to the supermajority vote that the founders explicitly rejected early on.

Levitsky and Ziblatt show that almost every other peer democracy went in the opposite direction.

The United States is “the only presidential democracy in the world in which the president is elected via an Electoral College,” “one of the few remaining democracies that retains a bicameral legislature with a powerful upper chamber,” and “the only democracy in the world with lifetime tenure for Supreme Court justices.” Moreover, they note, “the U.S. Constitution is the hardest in the world to change” — making it extremely difficult for reformers to do anything about America’s minority-empowering institutions.

These institutions allow the Republican Party to rule despite being a distinctly minority faction — one that holds extreme positions on issues like taxes and abortion, and has lost the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential elections.

So long as the party retains appeal among a hard core of racially resentful supporters, efficiently distributed around the country to take advantage of the Senate and Electoral College’s biases, it can remain nationally competitive. The right’s control over the Supreme Court will likely last decades, thanks to lifetime tenure, allowing it to remake American policy and institutions with impunity. The GOP’s disproportionate national power enables its cadres at the state and local level to pursue explicitly undemocratic policies for holding power, like extreme gerrymandering, without fear of federal intervention.

Hence the titular “tyranny of the minority”: The Republican Party, having broken with its core commitment to democracy, has now embraced a peculiarly American strategy for taking and wielding power undemocratically.

“America’s countermajoritarian institutions can manufacture authoritarian minorities into governing majorities,” they write. “Far from checking authoritarian power, our institutions have begun to augment it.”

The best way to safeguard America’s institutions is to make them more like our peers abroad: abolish the Electoral College, eliminate lifetime tenure for Supreme Court justices, end the filibuster, switch to proportional representation in Congress, ban partisan gerrymandering, and make the Constitution easier to amend.

Cassidy Hutchinson says that while her life and her heroes have changed, she's still a Republican. But when asked whom she'll back in the 2024 election, she replied, "For starters, I would like to make clear, I would not back the former President of the United States. He is dangerous for the country. He is willing, and has showed time and time again willingness, to proliferate lies to vulnerable American people so he could stay in power. To me that is the most un-American thing that you can do."

Trump calls for Death Penalty for General Mark Milley

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Mark Milley, who led perhaps the most embarrassing moment in American history with his grossly incompetent implementation of the withdrawal from Afghanistan, costing many lives, leaving behind hundreds of American citizens, and handing over BILLIONS of dollars of the finest military equipment ever made, will be leaving the military next week. This will be a time for all citizens of the USA to celebrate! This guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH! A war between China and the United States could have been the result of this treasonous act.

Why should NBC, or any other of the corrupt & dishonest media companies, be entitled to use the very valuable Airwaves of the USA, FREE?

Sounds great. But since I'm still waiting for the Clintons to be locked up in prison where they belong, I think this is probably just another empty campaign promise.

As much as I'd love to hold that against him, it's not like there's ever been a politician that was elected to any level of office that doesn't make a fuck ton of those impossible to carry out promises while campaigning.

Trump is up 1.6 points in the aggregate today.

On August 24th, the day of Trump's latest sham arrest, it was Biden 45 / Trump 43 on the polling aggregate. Today it is Trump 45.7 / Biden 44.1.

It should also be noted that since polling for the 2024 Presidential election began late last year, Joe Biden* has NEVER ONCE had an average as high as 45.7 in the aggregate.

Even the betting odds, which have lagged far behind the polls have made a huge shift toward Trump.

On August 24th, the day of Trump's latest sham arrest, the betting odds were Biden 35 / Trump 27.3, or a 7.7 point difference. Today they are Biden 31.5 / Trump 30.1, or a 1.4 point difference.

The early months of the GOP primary have shown that there is no moving on from Donald Trump, no chance of salvaging the warped political party in his thrall.

Now, it feels like we’re once again teetering on the edge of something incredibly dangerous, in ways that seem almost certain to hasten democratic collapse, with little choice but to go through the motions.

Oh... ditch the melodrama (and the Adderall) and fuckin' relax, idiots.

I was going to say that it's actually good news for morons like you because you'll have something to write about again that your idiot readership cared about, but chances are everybody working at your outfits under the editors will all be replaced by AI soon.

Get fucked, dummies. You've got 13 months left.

Maybe you'd better follow my long-time advice and do something about getting your party to start closing all those covid-era cheating mechanisms that they installed in swing states before they're used against you now that the Republicans and Trump have said they're going to use them.

Tick Tock, bitches.

Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Monday completely — and hilariously — destroyed one of Republicans’ main arguments to prove that Joe Biden is corrupt.

Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry into Biden, after months of insisting that the president is guilty of criminal wrongdoing. The GOP has yet to produce any actual evidence of their claims. But one of their main talking points is that Poroshenko fired former Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin after Biden pressured him to do so.

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade played Poroshenko a clip of Shokin saying Biden wanted him fired because he had been investigating the oil company Burisma Holdings while Hunter Biden served on the board.

“First of all, this is a completely crazy person,” Poroshenko replied without hesitation, referring to Shokin. “This is something wrong with him. Second, there is not one single word of truth.”

“Please do not use such a person like Shokin to undermine the trust we feel” from both U.S. parties, he continued.

Poroshenko added that Shokin was fired because “he played very dirty games.”

Shokin was fired in 2016 for corruption. Three years later, Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani started a conspiracy theory that the Biden family accepted a $10 million bribe to remove Shokin to stop a probe into Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma. This claim has been repeatedly debunked by the owner of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, as well as Giuliani’s associate Lev Parnas. And now, the former Ukrainian president himself.

When Trump implies that Milley deserves to be put to death, some of his disciples will take it as an order. The number of those who take action does not have to be large for the result to be horrific.

Trump's rhetoric is dangerous, not just because it is the exact sort that incites violence against public officials, but also because it shows just how numb the country has grown toward threats more typical of broken, authoritarian regimes.

To view each of Trump's calls to violence in isolation -- 'he attacked Milley,' or 'he attacked NBC,' or 'he attacked the jury, the prosecutor, the judge' -- is to miss his overall plan to introduce violence as a natural extension of disagreement.

The increasing attacks by Trump are vile and ought to be condemned by all but they won't be. It's become a contagious disease, and Trump is patient zero.

Trump breaks with McCarthy, pushing Republicans to shut down the government

The former president endorses the tactics of far-right GOP members, telling them to force a shutdown unless Democrats give them “EVERYTHING” in negotiations.

“The Republicans lost big on Debt Ceiling, got NOTHING, and now are worried that they will be BLAMED for the Budget Shutdown. Wrong!!! Whoever is President will be blamed,” Trump wrote, adding: “UNLESS YOU GET EVERYTHING, SHUT IT DOWN! Close the Border, stop the Weaponization of ‘Justice,’ and End Election Interference.”

I wonder who is stupid enough to blame Democrats when Trump demands Republicans shut down the government? “The Republicans are worried that they will be BLAMED for the Budget Shutdown. Wrong!!! Whoever is President will be blamed.”

I think the real reason Trump runs for office is that he doesn't have enough activities to keep him busy. When he was President, he loved being the center of every Newscast, every day of the week. It was, other than the campaigning ahead of the election, the biggest continuous thrill of his life. Trump is all about pleasure and the sensations he is feeling in his fat gut and loins.

The Sick, Racist Message Behind Why Trump Chose That Particular Gun Store

Donald Trump tried to purchase a gun at the Palmetto State Armory in South Carolina. That matters more than you think.

During a campaign trip to South Carolina, Donald Trump took some time to visit the gun store that sold weapons to the racist Jacksonville, Florida, mass shooter.

Trump visited Palmetto State Armory on Monday, where he admired a handgun engraved and decorated in his honor. He repeatedly said he wanted to buy a gun there—which would be a violation of federal law given his many indictments.

A lot of the media has focused on whether Trump actually purchased a gun and violated the law, but less attention has been paid to Trump’s decision to visit Palmetto State Armory, as opposed to any other gun store in South Carolina.

In late August, a white man opened fire in a Dollar General store in a predominantly Black Jacksonville neighborhood, killing three people, all of whom were Black. The shooter, who then killed himself, used a Glock handgun and an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, at least one of which was painted with a swastika. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters said the shooter “hated Black people” and acted alone.

At least one of the guns came from Palmetto State Armory, a store in Summerville, South Carolina. The Jacksonville sheriff’s office shared photos of the firearms used in the attack on its Facebook page. One of the guns is clearly engraved with the Palmetto State Armory logo. The shooter had also drawn swastikas on the gun.

A judge ruled Tuesday that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.

Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee the Trump Organization’s operations.

A Trump spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the ruling. Trump has long insisted he did nothing wrong.

The decision, days before the start of a non-jury trial in Attorney General Letitia James’ lawsuit, is the strongest repudiation yet of Trump’s carefully coiffed image as a wealthy and shrewd real estate mogul turned political powerhouse.

Beyond mere bragging about his riches, Trump, his company and key executives repeatedly lied about them on his annual financial statements, reaping rewards such as favorable loan terms and lower insurance premiums, Engoron found.

Those tactics crossed a line and violated the law, the judge said, rejecting Trump’s contention that a disclaimer on the financial statements absolved him of any wrongdoing.

“In defendants’ world: rent regulated apartments are worth the same as unregulated apartments; restricted land is worth the same as unrestricted land; restrictions can evaporate into thin air; a disclaimer by one party casting responsibility on another party exonerates the other party’s lies,” Engoron wrote in his 35-page ruling. “That is a fantasy world, not the real world.”

Trump went to a gun shop that sold weapons to a Nazi who murdered a crowd. Trump was making a deniable but not particularly surreptitious statement that he supports Nazis. I think that is an excellent reason to vote for Trump in the Republican primary since he makes it wonderfully clear that his secret heart is with his people even if he cannot outright declare he supports Nazis. He is truly the most talented politician of all Presidential candidates from the GOP.

Milley says the military doesn’t swear oath to a ‘wannabe dictator’ in apparent swipe at Trump

“We are unique among the world’s militaries,” Milley said. “We don’t take an oath to a country, we don’t take an oath to a tribe, we don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant or a dictator.”

“And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator,” he spat. “We take an oath to the Constitution and we take an oath to the idea that is America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.” But are you willing to kill the wannabe dictator? The wannabe dictator said that Milley should die for being a traitor. Milley should have made clear what he would do about the wannabe dictator. Alas, he did not.

“It is that document that all of us in uniform swear to protect and defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” Milley said, emphasizing the words “all” in “all enemies” and the “and” between “foreign and domestic.”

Arguments about the proper role of virtue in the public square or arguments over the proper balance between order and liberty, are helpless in the face of prophecies, like the declarations from Christian “apostles” that Donald Trump is God’s appointed leader, destined to save the nation from destruction. Sometimes there’s no need for a prophet to deliver the message. Instead, Christians will claim that the Holy Spirit spoke to them directly. As one longtime friend told me, “David, I was with you on opposing Trump until the Holy Spirit told me that God had appointed him to lead.”

Several weeks ago, I wrote about the “rage and joy” of MAGA America. Outsiders see the rage and hatred directed at them and miss that a key part of Trump’s appeal is the joy and fellowship that Trump supporters feel with each other. But there’s one last element that cements that bond with Trump: faith, including a burning sense of certainty that by supporting him, they are instruments of God’s divine plan.

For this reason, I’ve started answering questions about Christian nationalism by saying it’s not serious, but it’s very dangerous. It’s not a serious position to argue that this diverse, secularizing country will shed liberal democracy for Catholic or Protestant religious rule. But it’s exceedingly dangerous and destabilizing when millions of citizens believe that the fate of the church is bound up in the person they believe is the once and future president of the United States.

That’s why the Trump fever won’t break. That’s why even the most biblically based arguments against Trump fall on deaf ears. That’s why the very act of Christian opposition to Trump is often seen as a grave betrayal of Christ himself. In 2024, this nation will wrestle with Christian nationalism once again, but it won’t be the nationalism of ideas. It will be a nationalism rooted more in emotion and mysticism than theology. The fever may not break until the “prophecies” change, and that is a factor that is entirely out of our control.
