You are right, Vee, #Reagan did pull out most of the stops and changed the US political system for decades, until this very day:

Axios is right-leaning, but their journalists are warning of the dangers from #TFG's annihilistic, antidemocratic, & cruel platform:
"You have to love how Axios’s plain language summary of Trump’s platform is “He’ll set up concentration camps and jail his political enemies” - literally fascism and tyranny - but somehow this all gets sidelined in our day-to-day discourse."
-W Stancil
Excerpt from Axios article:

This week, #Hungarian president #Orban took over the rotating presidency of the Council of the #EuropeanUnion for 6 months.
His motto, guess what:
"Make Europe Great Again," or "MEGA".
I think it's time to talk about #FascistInternationalism, instead of #ProletarianInternationalism:
"Fascists of all countries, unite!"
Hungary's Orban takes over Council of the European Union presidency for six months
Starting July 1, Hungary will assume the rotating presidency of the Council, during a period of transition for both the Parliament in Strasbourg and the Commission.Jean-Baptiste Chastand (Le Monde)
"Biden can't just unilaterally do whatever he pleases for the left"
well now he can. get in there, champ. let's see what you're made of.
#JoeBiden can achieve a legacy even greater than #LBJ by also withdrawing from his re-election bid and then leading a *unified* #DemocraticParty to VICTORY in #November.
Recall that our *first* criminal #POTUS (#Nixon ) defeated #EugeneMcCarthy in the #1968election after #LyndonJohnson divided the #Democrats in order to pass the #CivilRightsActs *and* expand the quagmire in #Vietnam. #Histodons #USpol

FDR once said: Only thing we have to fear is fear itself
You still have a fighting chance.
Will it be easy? No.
Is there a guarantee democracy will prevail? No.
But there is hope.
Hope is each and every person, not giving in.
Hope is each and every person discussing.
Hope is each and every person spreading truth.
Hope is each and every person organizing demos.
Look around. You are not alone.

What balance of power? by Lisa Needham https://open.substack.com/pub/aaronrupar/p/scotus-loper-bright-chevron-jarkesy-explained #SCOTUS #SCOTUSIsCorrupt #SCOTUSIsCompromised #illiberal #illiberalDemocracy #USpol #USpolitics #LoperBright #ChevronDeference #Jarkesy
I am asking people to vote for Biden because it reduces my chances of being murdered in a pogrom. Antisemitism is getting worse and I appear more visibly trans every day.
I do not think this is an unreasonable request.
Man what's wild to me is that so much of this is being framed as giving power to the PRESIDENT and it's not
The supreme court is taking control of the other branches.
Removing chevron deference means that the courts will decide our regulations, not congress
This absolute immunity for the president decision means the courts can decide what is/isn't an official act.

Clarence Thomas Torn Over Case Where Both Sides Offer Compelling Scuba Trips
WASHINGTON—Admitting that he had never been more conflicted about a ruling in his life, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was reportedly torn Monday over a case in which both sides offered compelling scuba trips.ji39f8deollek3 (The Onion)
Joe Biden now has the ability to save the Republic. He can order Seal Team 6 to go shoot a bunch of Republicans and it is completely, unquestionably, legal. Not a crime. Trump, the 6 Republican Justices, and a bunch of other people. Note that I am not advocating any crime be committed here, just a use of Presidential power to save the USA from a clear and present threat. Biden could appoint Justices to repeal the decision, making him the only user ever.
Presidents now have presumptive immunity from prosecution for “official acts.” So what happens now with the Federal Trump DC trial? It goes back to the trial judge who will have to make a first determination on whether Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results are official or unofficial acts.
via @emptywheel:
"The goal here is 👉not just to prevent Trump from winning the election. The goal is to prevent Trump from attaining the Presidency again, via whatever means he plans to pursue.👈 And for that reason, it is highly unwise to add points of potential failure he can exploit where, thus far, there are none...
Aside from his Israeli policy, Biden is, most Democratic voters..will concede, a remarkably successful President. Via whatever means, he has managed to do that job well"
"This is what happens when you gather a handful of nutters like Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, etc. and a bunch of angry, uneducated white people who believe the world 'owes them' and that they've been ignored in the past."

A thought I should've had a couple of days ago, but only had today:
If you believe that the New York Times has been doing everything in its power to put Donald Trump back into office without saying so - a proposition which seems entirely reasonable to me - then...
...why would you take their editorial call for Biden to step down at face value?
Why would you take that in good faith?
Why would anyone take it as anything other than yet another attempt by the New York Times to put Donald J. Trump back into the White House?

It might be a shitty bottom-of-the-pile tabloid, but the Daily Star's front page headlines are frequently a joy to behold. #DailyStar
Anyway that's (probably) my one and only venture into the world of #USpol for the day. I'll be trying to ignore all that madness and aiming for a pleasant weekend.
Hope yours will be lovely too.
If you're down about last night's debate, listen to Joe in his North Carolina's rally today!
He's on fire.

The Supreme Court did not issue an opinion about Trump's immunity today. That means that the court has held this issue, preventing the trial from going forward, for literally as long as they possibly could.
Trump on the effects of inflation: "They can't live. They're not living any more."
WHAT?
Watching post-debate commentary reminds me why I stopped watching political shows.
Even listening to people I used to tolerate raises my blood pressure.
So, good night.
