Jason Murray up now, representing the people trying to get Trump off the ballot. We should learn more about where the justices are leaning from this part, I think, just because he won't be as scattered as Mitchell was.

Thomas arguing that states don't disqualify candidates, he's saying that only the federal government can exclude national candidates.

@GottaLaff
I just don't see her point - I don't see how one state enforcing its election law & the US Constitution would determine the outcome of a national election for all 50 states & thus the entire country. We don't have nationally-run Federal elections, do we? Aren't all governmental elections held in each state, whether local, state-wide or presidential, run by each state individually?

Druggie Elon:

#WSJ reports the "volume" of Musk's drug use - incl LSD, cocaine, ecstasy & ketamine - for which us lesser mortals would've been toast, created among his friends & board directors of his companies an "expectation" they use drugs alongside him to maintain the social status of being close to him.

Nah. Proly so he'd have something to hold over them in case they might consider reporting him to authorities.

How about a candidate found liable for sexual assault, fraud, defamation?

Via Kyle Griffin:

Just 23% of Americans say they would be willing to vote for a presidential candidate convicted of a felony crime by a jury, according to a new Gallup poll. 70% say they're not willing.

Yep. I'm with you. Doesn't seem antibiotics are the answer here.

I'm sure you've looked up every which way til Sunday to get rid of this stuff, so I won't burden you w/the little bit about 15 minutes on Google taught me, but it really, really looks challenging.

One quickie, tho: didn't find any mention of food grade bentonite in my Google search. I've used this myself for decades & found it helped clear up the runs etc right away.

Y'all know, tho, that sauerkraut & sauerkraut juice, like bentonite, are alternative/traditional (some would say herbal) remedies for gastrointestinal bacterial issues. Just sayin'! 😉

@GottaLaff @jinglepostman

Not trying to talk you into anything. Just want to correct a misperception. Bentonite is not a supplement, it's a long-standing traditional remedy for parasites & GI bacterial infections.

"20 Days in Mariupol"

A soul-wrenching documentation of Russian genocidal destruction recorded by uncommonly heroic AP photojournalists.

This should be played in both Houses of Congress & every member especially forced to watch the whole film.

Inside the Heritage Foundation’s Plans for ‘Institutionalizing Trumpism’

US inmate Kenneth Smith faces first N2 execution

w/1 of the highest per capita execution rates in the US has 165 currently on death row.

It's botched 2018 executions led to an internal review that largely placed blame on prisoners themselves.

N2 execution of Kenneth Smith scheduled to start at 6pm.

All executions are horrible, but this moreso than many not only b/c it's the 2nd attempt to kill this man or b/c the method is untried, but also b/c the jury ruled for life, not death, and the judge overrode that decision to impose death.

Do not expect to see this reprinted in any western News paper EVER

Jerusalem Post is a conservative Israeli publication, having this published by them means the situation is really alarmingly bad.

It's truly sad that we have such level of celf censorship in the west when it comes to Israel.
