2024 US Presidential Election
|
"What a little moonlight can do." ~ Billie Holiday
Here’s a thought: it’s plain that the Supremes aren’t likely to kick Trump out of the election entirely. But what if they were to kick it back to the states to decide? That’s a real possibility, since the Court has been unwilling to involve itself in the electoral process any more than they absolutely have to.
The MAGA faithful who (by some accounts) make up roughly a third of the Republican rank and file, aren’t really interested in politics - they’re just interested in Trump. If Trump is off the ballot in blue or blue-leaning states, it seems to me that a lot of the MAGAts would simply not show up to vote, as they aren’t particularly concerned about down-ballot races in a presidential election year. This would strongly weaken any Republican advantage in the red-leaning districts of blue states, and could result in a significant Democratic majority in both houses. I can dream, can’t I? Boru

Yes. And the news people can shut the lower 2/3 of their heads about it causing a "civil war". We've already seen how easily a nest of magats can be stirred up to commit major crimes. Low level shit like punching out neighbors would be child's play.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

There seems slim chance of that with Thomas on the court, especially rubbing elbows with Gorsuch and Alito. And I'm not sure I'd disagree. It is a constitutional issue. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg?rlkey=x1nmxbwrp...pouidnfvtl]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/a6a72vica8gsyddmkhtxp/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg?rlkey=x1nmxbwrpk9dzrupouidnfvtl)  ![[Image: Sing.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/KYgVspPZ/Sing.jpg)
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
 
NGL, any time I see something from the Faily Fail, I assume it's utter bullshit.
America 2025 if Trump wins

Trump is now questioning Nikki Haley’s eligibility to be president on the basis that Haley - a woman born in the US to naturalized American citizens - may not be a natural born citizen herself.
In political science jargon, this is known as ‘scared shitless’. Boru
