"It’s truly an extraordinary moment in our nation’s legal and political history: two prosecutions resulting in two guilty verdicts by separate juries, one against an ex-president, and another against a sitting president’s son."
@georgetakei Many people seem to think that being a convicted felon should disqualify you from presidency, and I just wonder how you can't look around and see the risk of such a policy, were it to be created.
It's so obvious that all you would need is a corrupt judge, a corrupt DA, and a random jury in Texas to get a conviction. And if the timing of that is in the summer or the fall of an election year, that changes everything. It's such an easy way for the Republicans to grab power in the future. You know they would try it, and you know they might succeed. Why would you even consider giving them that weapon?
@georgetakei Huh. I thought they were struggling because of corporate shenanigans specifically designed to get wealth out of one company and into other investors' before it declared bankruptcy. They didn't mention that, did they.
@georgetakei I believe the author of the article needs to do more research. They were far too generous to MIL. The idea that maybe it's not cool to tell girls to be more lady-like or boys to be more man-like, that's not something that just showed up in the last two or three decades.
@georgetakei The one point totally missing from that article is what Biden can do. I think it provided a reasonable approach to what Democrats were trying to increase voter turnout can do, but at the same time we should never forget that the president himself can take action, and whatever he does, people are watching him.
@georgetakei My cats are more like roommates. We all respect each other, most of the time, and do whatever we want. The 3AM zoomies are excessive, but there's nothing to be done about it.
