  • So Trump is trying out the defense that he has absolute immunity against any legal actions against him, both criminal and civil, and is trying to push that up to the Supreme Court. He is God.

      • This can't be considered hyperbole anymore with Trump. I mean he had no intention of leaving office regardless of the election result last time, and he's running for dictator this time.

            • Good NYT podcast about perception on the economy 2-3 days ago. Two main points:

              1) They said that inflation drove up prices but it has now stopped but we are stuck with higher prices on things and it will take a while for everyone to adjust to new reality.

              2) 40% of young people get 100% of their news from social media - tik tok being one of the main sources. And it is popular for young people to post rants about not being able to afford anything, anger at boomers for having had it easier, etc. The problem is, most of those rants are based on lies, faulty stats/numbers, and a general ignorance of basic finance and economic theory. But it goes viral anyway.

              This poll result would tend to back up some of that:

              "There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

                Maybe not run an uninspiring corpse as the democratic candidate.

                  Maybe 5%. But where would that 5% come from? Trump voters? I doubt there are many Trump voters who would consider Cheney. I am a Biden voter (last cycle, if nothing else changes, this cycle too) and I would consider voting for Cheney, except for the fact that doing so would take a vote away from Biden, not Trump. The third party issue is a big one that really seems likely to hurt Democrats more than Republicans.

                    RFK Jr. is definitely pulling Trump votes, though. Skimming the crazy vote is like shooting fish in a barrel. I hope he stays the course.

                      True, but he's also pulling some of the crazy Biden voters too.

                      • Biden lacks self awareness.

                        Speaking to reporters off camera at a campaign fundraising event near Boston, Mr Biden said: "If Trump wasn't running, I'm not sure I'd be running. But we cannot let him win."
                        Pretty sure your age is making the matchup a lot closer than it should be.

                          Crazy Biden voters? I'm not familiar with that demographic. I'm pretty sure Biden smashed voting records in 2020 because so many people were tired of crazy.

                            Friendly reminder that Biden is not the only candidate who pre-dates Jackie Robinson's breaking the color barrier, the independence of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines, or the Israeli state.

                                The crazies are the ones currently protesting on college campuses against Israel. Also RFJ jr is the king of the anti-vaxxers. There are a bunch of those on the left too, just not as many as on the right.
