I HATE this Supreme Court!!! the justices are fomenting a false public narrative that noncitizens are a threat to U.S. elections. This is the latest signal that the justices are in cahoots with former President Donald Trump and may be prepared to meddle in the election—unless it is decided by margins too large to tamper with.

Iall too easy to imag a Judge Kacsmaryk, or Judge Aileen Cannon, causing chaos w/decision that slows down certification process after Election Day and before the Electoral College meets in mid-December. This, in turn, could open the doors to all sorts of potential chicanery regarding elector slates in GOP-led state legislatures and multiple questions that the U.S. Supreme Court would need to decide https://www.salon.com/2024/08/05/plans-to-win-this-in-court-if-they-have-to--and-it-might-work/

When Obama ran, Democrats dreamed of high-minded unity. Now they’re thrilled to see a fighter who they think can take on golem who has poisoned atmosphere in this country for nearly a decade. There’s great pleasure in seeing a candidate laughing in the face of a bully: It’s why you’re hearing Democrats talk about Trump and Vance as “weird” rather than threatening. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/03/opinion/kamala-harris-vp-pick.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

Trump had a plan Then he opened his mouth. - Trump’s comments Wed on Harris’ racial background drew some of biggest gasps from audience, provided Democrats w/ammunition. During appearance, Trump said Harris “happen[ed] to turn Black. … She was Indian all the way &all of sudden she made turn &became a Black woman.”
White House immed seized on the remarks, with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre calling them “repulsive” and “insulting.”  https://apple.news/A_uodijTkQ9CM86CKaUfoRw

Levitsky’s co-author, Daniel Ziblatt, also a professor of government at Harvard, put a finer point on the significance of Trump’s comment. “I can’t think of a major candidate for office in any democracy on Earth since at least World War II who speaks in such overtly authoritarian ways,” said Ziblatt. “Not Victor Orban in Hungary, not Recep Erdogan in Turkey. Nowhere.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/27/trump-faces-backlash-four-years-you-dont-have-vote-again-remark/

All they had to say was: “President Biden served his country for five decades and at this moment we thank him for that service. Tomorrow our campaign begins against his replacement. Bring her on.”

Trump told > 30 lies during debate to go w/ > 30,000 mistruths told during his 4 years as pres. He dodged CNN moderators’ questions, took no responsib for his actions, blamed others, mainly Biden, for everything wrong in world. Trump’s response to Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection he fueled was farcical. He said a “relatively small # people” went to Capitol &many “ushered in by police.” https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/editorials/first-presidential-debate-joe-biden-donald-trump-withdraw-20240629.html

issue w/Trump is not use of exec orders per se. Instead, is his demonstrated contempt for democr accountability — he does not accept right of an electorate to remove him from office — his desire to use instruments of state to inflict punishmt/suffering on his polit enemies and his efforts to transform office of pres/ exec branch into instruments his rule. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/25/opinion/biden-burgum-trump-dictatorship.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

A second term would mean even more of the chaos, corruption, disorder and incompetence that defined his first four years in office.

Trump “utterly failed” at the “most important thing for presidents to do in order to succeed: collecting information. Trump didn’t read. He didn’t pay attention during briefings. He didn’t care about policy. He didn’t even bother, as far as anyone can tell, to learn the basic rules of the constitutional system.” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/opinion/trump-second-term.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

Trump’s Post-verdict Vocal Rampage - “He is a Manchurian candidate,” Trump said of his rival—an explosive, unfounded accusation that, had anyone else said it, would elicit bafflement and condemnation.

Virginia’s presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee, Abigail Spanberger, said on MSNBC that she would sign legislation guaranteeing the right to contraception. This comes after Republican Gov.
