No link in my fingers, but apparently Micheal Moore has posted a rather scathing commentary.

This one?

Now, We Crush Trump: 100 Days to a Better World

As I Write This, Election Day is 100 Days Away. Does Trump Even Know What Happened This Past Week? Welcome to the New American Majority, Mr. Trump. Here’s How Your Next 100 Days Are Going to Look…

Something on Fakebook that I never go to ..... just a partial quote that starts out:


"“It took just 5 days.

Nothing like it had ever happened before in American history.

And yet, by this past Thursday, a mere five days after President Biden’s 1:46 pm Sunday afternoon announcement of him ending his re-election campaign and handing the candidacy over to his Vice President, Kamala Harris, the Wall Street Journal (no friend to women, People of Color, young voters, the poor or the working class), WSJ — this grand oracle of Capitalism, conservative ideology and the force that is Rupert Murdoch — ran this stunning historic headline, truly one for the ages ..... "

I'd expect this to happen. It polls quite favorably and doesn't scare people off like MfA.

None of this shit matters until Americans deliver the House and Senate to Democrats with comfortable majorities. Why even talk about them at all? Say you are against them and you deflate the base. Say you are for them and you scare swing voters.

The talk of killing the filibuster to pass certain things has been revived.

Also, you don't have to simply avoid a major topic like healthcare, just pick a good position on it. The public option is a good one.

With the energy the Dems have now, our odds of keeping the Senate and taking the house are very good.

^^ I want 60 solid seats to be able to convict and remove Clarence and Sammy.

You need 67 votes. Conviction requires 2/3 of the votes.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

OK, 67.

 

[nickqt]

OK, 67.

Be lucky if its 50. And unless something shifts, it's just going to get worse over time how the Senate currently works.

Term limits would only require 60. Kick them out that way.

And I want to date a supermodel. Why think about things that are impossible?

Term limits would only require 60. Kick them out that way.

Can't technically be "term limits" as most think of it, without Constitutional Amendment requiring a lot more than just that, but 50 that don't mind removing filibuster can pack the court.

But, technically, that same 50 (with the support of the House and Presidency, of course) could, without formally installing "term limits", could force justices after, say, 18* years (*which just by random coincidence gets rid of Thomas, Alito, and Roberts), to go onto a mandatory senior status where they only are randomly selected to participate in cases under rare circumstances, say if there is a recusal. So that they are still technically continuing to "serve" as required per the constitution, without continuing to cause harm.

As simplest change, would only require a one-word change to an already existing law to place them onto senior status at age 65 with 15 years of service. Just change the word may to shall on 28 USC 371: "Any justice or judge of the United States appointed to hold office during good behavior may retain the office but retire from regular active service after attaining the age and meeting the service requirements"

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

I'm opposed to Senior Status. I've seen what it turns into from working in the Courts.

They can retain a full staff, chambers and courtroom even though they don't hear more than a couple of cases a year. In our court, one of the Seniors didn't hear any cases at all other than one special one he was more for less assigned to. I don't remember the details, but he milked that case for a decade or more.

 

[MrSquished]

The Democrats have already said they would eliminate the filibuster to codify Roe into law. I can't say they definitely would do it for a public option but I definitely think once it's on the table and used, and if the Dems get the mandate at the voting booths this fall, I wouldn't be surprised if they did it for a few other big ticket items.

Harris has grown over the last four years, it's great to see her in action these days. That zoom call last night was so inspiring. All this energy would never have happened with Biden, most Dems were just voting out of fear, and the risk of low turnout was high. Not anymore.

 

[Fenixgoon]

the roar of the crowd when she said "say it to my face" was awesome. i cannot wait to see more Kamala. Let's goooooooooooo!

 

[Amused]

Holy shit! The energy is astounding!

She packed an entire arena!

 

[compcons]

Is it safe to assume that the lone white guy in the background was a not-so-subtle dig at the use of the obviously staged "black voter for Trump" at all of his rallies?

 

[zinfamous]

She is very good.

yeah, Don the 38-times-indicted-Con can't draw anything near that kind of energy at any of his limp-dick rallies these days.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Vibes still shifting in Harris’ favor.
