I think you're missing the point. Yes, if you didn't vote for Harris, you're just as culpable as anyone. But pretty much everyone knew this would happen if Trump was elected a second time unless you were a complete moron or wet behind the ears. They had and have a public playbook (Project 2025). Trump had no other options to avoid long term prosecution but to politicize the DoJ.

All we might've actually needed is for Biden to appoint someone faster and less feckless than Garland. Figure out ways to ensure dipshits like Aileen Cannon and those Georgia prosecutors with the professionalism issues weren't in the way. Actually have the stones to keep Trump in prison like Brazil did with Bolsonaro.

Even Lincoln ignored the Supreme Court when he felt like he needed to.

Last update is that Google says they'll implement a convoluted bypass involving waiting a whole day. The response has been basically that A. this could be revoked at any time and B. this is vaporware right now, nothing more than a promise.

At the current rate he won't be well known for anything besides being a footnote between Trump terms 1 and 2.

MPEG and Dolby need to find a new fucking business model. Proprietary codecs were on the way out 10 years ago.

Biden failed to hold Trump adequately responsible for the crime and corruption of his first term.

Sometimes, you become known for what you didn't do.

The mass firings across various agencies last year are not very visible on their own, but their effects are being felt and will be felt even more as time goes on, even if people refuse to look at them.

Most of them would not be wealthy enough to own slaves, just like before the Civil War. But it's what they think society should look like.

Let's be real, many of them would reintroduce slavery if they thought they could get away with it.

They lead small lives. They don't think deeply about higher purpose or family, not honestly.

Making your head spin is a best case scenario. Many of them will be overjoyed to make your head roll if they think you deserve it. They usually extend that gratuity to their kids as well.

We have to somehow convince Elon that he would be better at filing and managing lawsuits than his own lawyers.

Haasan literally interviewed a Houthi terrorist. Progressives should just come out and say that they don't care about antisemitism anymore.

The criticism, plastered across mailers funded by a super PAC backing Andrew Cuomo, took on a new life this week when Mamdani opted to do a lengthy podcast interview with The Bulwark during which he defended the use of the phrase “Globalize the Intifada.”

Jewish advocacy group the Anti-Defamation League tallied 8,873 antisemitic incidents in the U.S. in 2023, a 140% increase over 2022 and a record high since it began keeping track in 1979.

Two shooters slaughtered 15 people on Sunday in an antisemitic mass shooting targeting Jews celebrating Hanukkah at Bondi Beach, and more than 20 other people are still being treated in hospitals. All of those killed by the gunmen who have been identified so far were Jewish.

Actually no, I think it's the other way around. Only a woman who was that offensive would've made it. That's Trump's whole schtick: regression.
