Trump has his own age problem — and it terrifies him

Find any video of Trump speaking from 10-20 years ago and compare it to today. The level of decline is as shocking as it is conspicuous. He used to be fluent and comprehensible. Today, he is incoherent, has the vocabulary of a child, and can barely speak in complete sentences. It’s scary that this guy is still a contender for the White House.

“Remember that Supreme Court case about the high school football coach in Washington who won his job back after he got fired for praying with football players? His name is Joe Kennedy, and this week he quit his hard-won job back after just one game.”

Nicely done, Ms. Willis. And I'm sorry you had to waste your time responding to Jim Jordan's stupidity.

Respond she did. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/09/fani-willis-jim-jordan-donald-trump-georgia-letter

Mark Cuban does the math on the #VivekRamaswamy "school choice" plan and exposes it for the steaming pile of trash it is.

This is worth reading.

"“The central question in the removal and in the prosecution itself — indeed the core of trying to understand the attempted coup — is whether there’s any possible legal justification for what was done,” Trump indictment guru Norm Eisen told me. “Judge Jones is the latest to make clear there was not, and that is very bad news indeed for Meadows, Trump and the other 17 co-defendants.”"

"“As a constitutional matter, executive power does not extend to overseeing states’ elections. ... Here, there is clear constitutional authority delegating the procedures of elections to the States.” He concluded that “the executive branch cannot claim power to involve itself in States’ election procedures when the Constitution clearly grants the States the power to manage elections under the Elections Clause.”"

The Ken Paxton #impeachment hearings are expected to wrap this week, but there's still a lot of ground to cover.

Once again disappointed in #EricAdams as he tries to claim that immigration "will destroy #NewYorkCity". Seriously?

We had *massive* immigration back when Ellis Island was processing floods of new people (including some of my immigrant ancestors!). It helped us turn NYC from a middling, up-and-coming town to "the Greatest City in the World". Adams needs STFU and take #immigration out of his goddamn mouth.

If Florida's supreme court upholds a recently passed ban on abortions after six-weeks, the nearest states with accessible abortions may end up being New York and Illinois. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/desantis-abortion-ban-florida-supreme-court-1234821270/ #politics #USPol #Florida #reproductiveRights #abortion

Democratic Party's Wall Street Donors Are Reportedly Pushing Biden to Fire Lina Khan
https://www.commondreams.org/news/lina-khan-wall-street
S/o to Khan for working on behalf of everyday Americans. #POTUS better keep her.

@CStamp @WmShakesp3are
As of this article from 2021, President Biden had been giving press conferences at about the same rate as #RonaldReagan did: https://www.statista.com/chart/24515/us-presidents-press-conferences/

Personally, I would like to see President Biden participating in more unscripted public events: it would be reassuring to see that he still has what it takes to lead.

One of the better take downs of #Alito. My only quibble is the use of the phrase "reigned in". Reigned in suggests regaining control of a horse.

Alito needs to be removed and prosecuted.

@transcaffeine What if it looks like a rabbit?…( be gentile, Clyde is a sensitive “little” lagomorph.) Disclaimer Clyde is not mine. Giant African Snails are illegal in the states due to the unfounded fear that anything this big that resembles a slug would most likely vote Republican… #Animals #Nature #USPol #Snails

@admin @copter_chief I see we’ve proceeded to the ad hominum portion of your non response. You don’t address the specifics because you can’t. “If you have facts to back up your case, you pound the facts. If you don’t, first you pound the table and if that fails, you pound the opposition…” #farL #USPol #RussianPropaganda

@humansriseup@ioc.exchange @kevinrns @Natanox And then I’m going to block you because the next tactic after spewing Russian propaganda is you trying to waste our energy & make us mad in stupid arguments, where you will constantly change what it is you’re arguing about. Don’t need it. Not gonna engage in it. #farL #BlockEarlyBlockOften #USPol

@humansriseup @kevinrns @Natanox it’s not the 2 party system. It’s people not voting Dems a full Congress for 4 years so they can actually get something done. Saying both parties are the same is a Russian talking point. Now I don’t know if you’re knowingly spreading propaganda or if you’ve just been duped but that’s what it is. It’s propaganda. Period the fucking end. & every time 1 of you pops up spewing this garbage I’m going to it point out #farL #USPol

So were some of mine. And I bet it’s true for you, too.

The only people who have trouble acknowledging the bigotry of their ancestors are the ones who want to repeat it.
