The Supreme Court Is Poised to Revive a Key Feature of Nixon-Era Corruption
The justices will hear arguments on Tuesday in NRSC v. FEC, a case cooked up by the GOP itself.
Next week the Supreme Court will hear another engineered case with fake plaintiffs, which presents another opportunity for the GOP justices to blow a hole through what remains of our campaign finance lawsโthis time, by turning political parties into a conduit for bribes. slate.com/news-and-pol...

In practice, what it means right now is that red states like Indiana and Florida will get a free pass to gerrymander racial minorities into oblivion, even if their maps are blatantly illegal and openly racist. That gives a huge advantage to Republicans because in many states, their one neat trick for gaining a partisan advantage is diluting representation for racial minorities to create more safe GOP districts. And so they can now go full steam ahead, changing the rules, rigging the maps, hampering democracy, without worrying about any pesky litigation that will cause for them. That is the sign of a party thatโs desperate to cling on to power because it is losing popular support.
We need to talk about the massive loophole that the Supreme Court just carved into election law over the shadow docketโgiving states a free pass to enact patently unconstitutional voting rules within nearly *one year* of an election. A stunning new limit on judicial review. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Only reason I can think of is that it's an attempt to manipulate Trump into keeping ICE away from facilities where the soccer matches are going to be held.

Per reporting he's supposedly an "anarchist" but he's also a Trump supporter.
It's far more likely he's yet another garden variety nihilistic, black-pilled young adult male Trump supporter emerging from the bowels of 4Chan & COD-type gaming spaces who doesn't understand anarchist principles.

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.
In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.
What a confession.

It would be a massive story to report out what drug these men are all on.
Its extremely clear that karp, musk, theil, andreesen are all jacked up sweaty freaks tweaking their brains out on live tv.
Ask yourself why the times wouldn't investigate this when you see karp sitting on their stage

The political half of our conservative elite thinks you can kill fishermen at random in case they have cocaine, while the tech half of our conservative elite appears to consume it as regularly as water.
