The impact is that it gives other lawsuits against Trump precedence. They can cite this and the other case saying he engaged in insurrection. That is a state Supreme Court is of monumental importance.

Clarence Thomas is itching to act

It’s gonna be because Hunter Biden has been convicted of a felony (which may or may not be true) JB is disqualified.

He hasn’t engaged in insurrection. So, at the least, they can’t use the same argument.

That’s why Trump is taking up the mantle

you’re claiming that evangelicals, the majority chunk of Trump supporters, are marginalized, unheard and unseen?

No. I’m claiming that the majority of Trump’s support is as tentative my support for Biden, which seems him as the preferable alternative at most. Alienating people you have common ground with is evidently a losing strategy, and yet republican and democratic politicians and normal people alike seem hell bent on ensuring talking about stuff is always out of reach

Whatever.

Feel superior to Trump supporters. Know you’re right and they’re definitely wrong. Be morally superior to them because you have a connection to reality they definitely and obviously don’t have. Your logic over their intuition; your facts over their emotions, your reality over their delusion.

When they vote for a fascist dictator that throws American democracy back to a state of nature because they feel marginalized and unheard and seek…well, they are…thanks to your bullshit stereotypes.

Only the most morally degrading cowardice for liberals and conservatives alike.

I have no fucking clue why you have so many upvotes. This is provably false.

To the extent that a person’s conservative friend or family is a Trump supporter, then maybe you have a point. But Trump’s political support is as varied as Biden’s. That is, I don’t particularly like Biden, but I’ll vote for him again. Similarly, conservatives that reluctantly support Trump, of which there are many, shouldn’t be disparaged as lacking empathy in the same way gung-ho Trump supporters are.

Send them with a white flag

Then it’s subtle…

That would defeat the purpose of being sarcastic…

The direct evidence that implicates his campaign team and hopefully puts his ass in jail.

A politically motivated attack on the greatest president America has ever seen, better than Lincoln even, to uphold the principles of democracy!

You keep hope alive, dude…

Fine, Let’s centralize where ads are shown then. Rather than plastering them across the internet and ruining, just have ads.com. It can even have location-specific ads.

The 59-year-old Republican also said the various criminal cases being brought against Trump undermine the country’s democratic traditions.

This is how you know Republicans don’t understand what democracy is, complete or otherwise. I mean, neither do Democrats, frankly, but…Republicans are by far the most ignorant demographic of voters.

You’re turning this into a binary choice that does not exist.

Well, maybe it’s not a binary choice, but it is certainly a choice that does exist.

It’s about how unpopular Biden is with voters.

Well…yes…with the implication that Biden’s unpopularity is a boon for his political opposition. Maybe not Trump per se, but certainly Biden v Republicans.

then you should be down with considering who is the best candidate to defeat him, and nothing you have said is all that convincing that it is in fact Biden.

I thought you said it wasn’t about this…

Anyway…by sheer political inertia, Biden has an institutional advantage against any Republican contender. Like…before we argue about anything, Biden’s chances of winning are better simply by default. You have the burden of proving that he’s so weak as a candidate that even that advantage is gone. No one ever makes that argument, they just assert it as true. But I’m not convinced it is.

Domestically, the economy objectively sucks for the vast majority of Americans

The weird thing is that this isn’t Biden’s fault…well…not entirely his fault. A podcast I listen to every now and then said that this is the era of business, and I’m inclined to agree. American Free Enterprise is all about value extraction, and they’ve been so successful that Trump sells pieces of his suit at $5000 a piece to fools and it’s totally okay. Business values have effectively superseded political values, and there’s a lot of people responsible for that.

I don’t disagree with anything else you said.

You become president then. You have my vote.

This isn’t about Biden Vs Trump.

It’s a poll about Biden’s stance with voters as president. It absolutely is about Biden versus Trump.

I think you know that Biden isn’t that…because otherwise you’d be ranting about how great he is rather than trying to change the subject

Word?

Thanks to Biden’s, and definitely not Trump’s or any other Republican’s, American Rescue Plan, Biden increased the Earned-Income Tax Credit for those without children from $543 to $1,502, a $3,000 tax credit per child for children 6 and over, and a $3,600 per child for children under six. As a consequence, he’s done more for childhood poverty than any president within the last 50 years.

Let’s turn to the Inflation Reduction Act. At 100% more than anything Republicans would ever do as far as green industrial policy, Biden made $240 billion available for clean energy manufacturing. Solar and electric vehicles incentives are also a part of this legislation. Also unlike Republicans, such massive spending is supposed to reduce the deficit by $288 billion over 10 years. Talk about fiscal conservatism. Just to be clear, 100% of Republicans voted against this legislation.

Economically, Biden has done more for Americans as Americans collectively rather than individually with investment in public infrastructure and through industrial policy that most modern presidents, especially every Republican since Reagan. More than likely, the benefits of such legislation won’t be felt for years; such is the nature of industrial policy.

Also, just for the record, he’s the only sitting president to have ever joined the any picket line, let alone the one of autoworkers.

The National Labor Relations Board under his administration just recently ordered Starbucks to open stores it illegally shut over union activity, and to remunerate them for loss of pay since those stores have been closed. Do you know how incredible that is?!

And, finally, Lina Khan, Biden-nominated director of the Federal Trade Commission is trying to upend the enduring anti-trust paradigm that fails to recognize how Big Tech like Google and Amazon are in fact engaged in anti-competitive strategies. Everybody knows Amazon is a monopoly. But legally, it’s harder to prove, and Khan has taken up the challenge, to the benefit of all Americans.

He also nominated, and the Senate confirmed, the judicial powerhouse that is Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, who goes toe-to-toe with the misanthropic conservative justices. She’s now the one on the bench bringing the real heat to Alito and Thomas and their stupid-ass originalism doctrine. This was a strong strategic accomplishment.

Like god damn…does anyone think Trump or Nikki Haley would do any of this?

Let me be clear, though: I’m not saying we should trade Palestinian lives for strong domestic policies and well-chosen, strategic nominations. I’m saying that the alternative includes the destruction of Palestine and much worse across the board. And at least [Biden has the wherewithall to let Israel know it’s being an international asshole rather than anything any of the Republican candidates said during their fourth debate.

I’m not being alarmist about Trump. The alarm has been sounded. We’re all just deaf to it now. But we don’t need ears to see that Trump is bad in every way Biden is and significantly worse in others.
