If Republicans can ignore SCOTUS, so can Biden. Make abortion federally legal via executive order.

with much of the funding going toward repairing and building new bridges.

New bridges are woke. Stop new bridges from grooming our children!

This is not so much 'more cars' as it is 'less cars plunging into rivers during a bridge collapse.'

How do you add lanes when you repair a bridge?

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

One state is replacing a bridge and it was clearly planned before this $5 billion.

What better way to lose Haley's voters, many of whom say they will not vote for Trump in the general already?

They do this and she will be screaming about it until November.

She very well could if they do this to her. I would in her position just out of spite.

Maybe, but I think Trump wants Kari Lake.

Because those are the names of "ethnic people." Am I right?

Looking forward to the videos of the kids singing:

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,

That's from the third verse.

    That site keeps sending accounts to spam for them. The articles are often false or full of errors, probably AI-written.

    The Proud Boys Love a Winner: A second Trump term would validate the violent ideologies of far-right extremists—and allow them to escape legal jeopardy ( www.theatlantic.com )

    Until the very end of his presidency, Donald Trump’s cultivation of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and other violent far-right groups was usually implicit. He counted on their political support but stopped short of asking them to do anything....

    Nazis don't care if the "winner" doesn't win the popular vote or even win legitimately. Hitler had a minority vote when he seized power. Do you think any Nazis complained that he didn't win the popular vote?

    Abbott doubles down on border ‘invasion’ declaration after Supreme Court blow ( thehill.com )

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Wednesday accused the federal government of breaking the compact with the states following a Supreme Court ruling on Monday that cleared the way for the Border Patrol to remove razor wire installed by Texas along the U.S.-Mexico border....

    About 10 million Texans yearl travel over 50 miles, [source], does that mean Texas is invading most of the US annually?

    50 miles won't even get you out of Texas in most of Texas. The rest of what you said is fine though.

    All I have been hearing for months is how Biden is too old. So convincing people that Bernie isn't too old would be a hard sell.

    Yes, look at these terrible numbers.

    If I didn't know any better, I'd say he could win on that poll just based on the margin of error.

    But oh so terrible numbers.

    Key West has a huge queer population. 30% of the island's residents are queer. Telling them to enjoy the "find out" phase is basically saying, "enjoy the genocide."

    Initially, Oversight Chair James Comer just released a list of paraphrased highlights from Morris’s testimony. Comer claimed that Morris informally loaned Hunter the money and does not expect to be repaid until after the 2024 election—or possibly ever. But the transcript shows this couldn’t be further from the truth.

    This is exactly why they want Hunter in a closed-door session. They want to be able to lie about what he said. Hopefully this shows that won't be enough for them to be able to get away with it.

    I don't like Biden aiding Israel one bit, but Trump will be even worse for Palestinians than Biden. He already proved that when he moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem.

    Is this legislative trolling?

    This is bullshit posturing. He is a coward and he will back down. I don't buy this will lead to civil war for a minute. Especially not when they could get Trump in office legitimately.

    I think he's calling Texas law 'the supreme law of the land.'

    I don't think there is a 'least creepy' photo of him.

    The sex with the 17-year-old was, apparently, consensual- or at least no one is saying otherwise- meaning at least one member of the opposite sex actually found him attractive enough to let him put his penis inside her. And that just depresses me.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I suppose that's true. I was just trying to suggest that almost no one finds him attractive.

    I'm guessing it's easier in some states than others and I'm also guessing she chose an easy state.

    This is both a civil suit and a state case. Trump would have no pardon power here. Habba is just stupid.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I don't see how it would achieve anything in this case.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    If you can explain how Trump can pardon himself from a state civil trial, go for it. Because the much simpler explanation is that Habba is an idiot.

    They could try, but it's up to the judge's discretion and the judge doesn't sound like they'll play ball on that one.

    The Plan to Incapacitate the Federal Government: Without Chevron, the executive branch will struggle to do even the most basic work ( www.theatlantic.com )

    Last Wednesday, over the course of three and a half hours of arguments, the conservative and liberal justices on the U.S. Supreme Court jousted over whether to overrule a 40-year-old case called Chevron v. National Resources Defense Council....

    I almost think that this might be for the best if Trump gets in.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I think it would be very difficult for them to put Chevron back in place after getting rid of it.

    FlyingSquid ,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I don't know about that. Even rubber stamp courts have dockets they have to get through, so anything Trump wants to happen could take months and he doesn't like it when things take months.

    Trump leans into voter fraud playbook, preparing to cry foul if he loses expected Biden rematch ( apnews.com )

    After he won the New Hampshire Republican primary Tuesday night, former President Donald Trump complained about his main GOP rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, about immigration, inflation, and his likely opponent in November, President Joe Biden....

    Colbert, Meyers and Kimmel have been a big help there. I watch them on YouTube the next morning and all three have been hitting Trump hard.

    I got the joke and I've never read a Left Behind book, but I have read much, but not all of-

    https://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/2015/11/05/left-behind-index-the-whole-thing/

    And if you have read the books, you'd probably appreciate it more than I do, but it's the most in-depth takedown of a book, let alone a series of books, that I have ever read. Like paragraph by paragraph sometimes.

    No problem. I'm really tempted to start over again from the beginning, but it's such an epic website to go through.
