Efforts to keep Trump off ballots have begun.

The lawsuit was filed by a conservative Republican candidate.

I made a new video -- this is a bit of a longer one, but it contains some important info on the GOP primary debate and how I think it pertains to the overall state of American politics. All the while, I play super smash bros melee -- for all interested

Please contact local election officials to have his name removed from the primary ballot, citing the 14th Amendment, Section 3. You can also make the same request of any officials running for state office who played a role in the insurrection.

Watched the whole thing (out of a possibly misplaced sense of duty). As you may have guessed none of these topics was broached.

As 2020 Election Nears, Ukraine Again a Key Debate Issue for Republicans

one that could embolden #politicians of any ideological stripe to disregard the #law.

Those fears, however, may be premature.

A new, broader survey of #Republican voters suggests that the #indictments have, in fact, dented #Trump’s advantage in the #primary. The study was designed by a group of university researchers who argue that #pollsters have been asking the wrong questions to assess how the indictments have affected #GOP voters.

#legal #criminal #justice

New research suggests that the #criminal #charges against #Trump are NOT actually helping him in the #GOP #primary race.

In the months since Trump’s #indictments started piling up, pollsters have noticed something remarkable: The dozens of criminal charges…seemed to boost his standing in the #Republican presidential primary.

I am not going to be attending this debate because I have to report to jail.

Philadelphia, 2016. Outside the Dunkin Donuts across the street from City Hall, very late one of those oppressively muggy nights. Attendees of the Democratic National Convention emerged from the subway station, hungry and tired.

Among a cluster of Hillary delegates-- you can tell from a block away, they're the ones dressed for a fancy cocktail party-- a man wearing a nice gray suit with a shiny pink tie and a convention lanyard sighed in tipsy happiness and said to me, "I don't know how anybody could have seen Obama's speech tonight and not feel inspired!"

Oh boy. Here we go. "Well, he's broken a lot of promises, and a lot of us just don't trust him anymore." I answered carefully.

"How could that be, what has Obama ever done wrong?"

"He supports the TPP, for one thing."

Laughing, he scoffed: "Who wants those jobs, anyway?" 

"I do." I held his eyes calmly. Unsmiling.

With absolutely no sign of awareness of the fact he'd just given a very casual finger to a huge swath of proud American labor, he rationally explained to me that the poor are only poor because they buy too many TVs. I told him slowly, "....That's class prejudice, right there. What you just said."

"Yes." he confirmed cheerfully, without hesitation.

I just stood there for several seconds staring at him with my mouth open. Stunned.

I remember telling him, "Obama dropped more bombs than the Bushes ever dreamed."

And that's when he lost his shit. He sputtered as if I'd slapped him, raised and pointed an accusing finger at me like this just turned into Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, and began screaming at me: "SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU!"

Bewildered, I tried to ask, "...Why? For what? What did I do?" Seriously, what the actual fuck. 

"SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU!!"

"Really?" What I would give to know what on earth was going through his head then, but his eyes had gone glassy. Furious, shaking, and red-faced, all he could do was repeat himself, completely unhinged. I shook my head at him, gave up, and turned away to remove myself from the situation. His shouts followed me across the street. 

"SHAME ON YOU! ....AND THAT'S COMING FROM A MAN IN A TIE!!" was his idea of a triumphant parting shot. 

That's the DNC in a nutshell, for me: smug, rotten aristocrats totally convinced that they're not morally bankrupt.

Welcome To The #GOP’s #Billionaire #Primary

The race to be the No. 1 Trump alternative will be shaped by the decisions of conservative megadonors.

the 2024 Republican primary, is set to be defined not by the passions of donors chipping in $20 in response to an email, but by millionaires and billionaires cutting checks worth tens of thousands of dollars, if not tens of millions, in response to a PowerPoint presentation and a sales pitch from a super PAC official.

Democrats are playing a dangerous game if they avoid debates. A significant number of Dem leaning voters are clearly not satisfied with Biden. With no debates, these voters will not feel heard, and even if a miniscule fraction of them in the end break ranks and vote third party, that could indeed swing the election into Trump's favor.

Democrats need to welcome more perspectives. Make a bigger tent. Allow left and right wings of their party to engage in an open and public exchange of ideas. And hopefully find a new unifying synthesis.

A debate within the minds of dem leaning voters will happen regardless.

The more RFK Jr and Marianne Williamson get suppressed by the party power brokers, the better Cornel West does and more likely Trump will ultimately win.

Silence in face of a #Republican #primary candidate #threats
If you are a Republican and still silent
You are in on the take over, in on the retribution, ready to dismantle democracy— moment of truth is here—
So what's it going to be? I'm waiting for you to speak out
Denounce the violent threats, help take back your party

I like how these right-wing media outlets are clutching their pearls in wonder at Trump's #primary campaign performance. They seem oblivious to the fact that, with one exception (Chris Christie), all of his so-called Republican opponents are spineless Trump #sycophants who are apparently running to tell the world about how great Trump is. With the exception of Christie, none of them will say a bad word about #Trump, or draw any meaningful difference between them and him.
