There are no WHITE Dem Stephen Millers.

This is the best thing you'll see today, and I say that as a person who wrote something awesome today and does not lack for confidence.

It was dead when Mitch McConnell refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing and Democrats just said "welp."

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

This will have to count as my Supreme Court term review.

I make that point that there's no point in reviewing what the Supreme Court has done because the rule of law is dead in this country anyway.

Nope. Don’t even have to be a lawyer, actually.

This is the kind of gap between rank and file voters and the party establishment that will likely cause some real havoc and disruption in the party's politics and primaries. In a different way, it's what gave rise to Trump in GOP.

I mean, obviously I'm looking to replace Clarence Thomas, but this would also work... as long as @joycewhitevance.bsky.social agreed to be my "deputy who actually does all the work." :)

I’ve been listening to the Terrible Lizards podcast while chauffeuring my children all day and now I really want to play No Man’s Sky.

… well, actually, I want to hire Paradox to remake Spore since I’m sure we have the technology to make it not suck now. But I don’t have $20 million to spare. :(

Anyway, I’m 1/2 on Home Improvement Summer. One really good experience, one incredibly shitty one.

The rubber match would have been β€œpainting the house” but, luckily perhaps, turns out I can’t afford that right now. :)

But, in addition to being wrong at nearly every point, the customer service has been Home Depot level atrocious.
One of those places where you feel like you need to be recording your conversations so you can prove they’re lying about what they said before.

I hate PC Richard’s so much right now.
I’m at the end of trying to get a new air conditioner installed. We are onto our *third* installation date, and they keep sending the wrong unit/the wrong parts for the right unit.

Now they’re cutting a hole into my wall to fit the wrong thing they’ve sent.

Regarding using the hypocrisy of Republican arguments against them Elie nails it,β€œThere is no β€œcheckmate.” There is no moment where the scales fall from their eyes. There is no point at beating the Republicans at their own game, because when they are beaten they just change the rules.”

Hulk Hogan Was a Racist, Liar, and Scab In the 1980s, the professional wrestler portrayed himself as an all-American heroβ€”but he was really a β€œjabroni” the entire time.

A Court Just Ruled That Cops Can’t Stop-and-Frisk Youβ€”if They Suspect a Gun The ruling makes clear, however, that cops can still stop and frisk a person for existing while Black.

There's a terrible 5th Circuit opinion I'd like you all to see. Lots of people say we should "use conservative arguments against them," but you have to understand, FedSoc judges do not care about their own hypocrisy. They just write their way through it.
