It boggles my mind that the Washington Post knew about the insurrectionist flag at the residence of a Supreme Court "Justice" at the time it was flown -- but didn't tell the public what it knew until years later, the NY Times did report it.

Journalistic malpractice is putting it mildly.

That assumes nothing would happen to prevent the "next guy" from being sworn in.

Only one thing is sure--he won't leave willingly, he's as much as said so, as alluded to in the article.

He'd have to be removed in a forceful manner but after another 4 years of him and his minions in control we can't be sure that our institutions, e.g., courts and military, would be able or willing to do that.

🤦🏻‍♀️“New policy to stop use of gender pronouns by public univ faculty & staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state w a long & violent history of conflict w tribes.

Two University of SD faculty members, Megan Red Shirt-Shaw & her husband, John Little, have long incl their gender pronouns & tribal affiliations in their work email signature blocks..both received written warnings”

athos77,

The nursing homes near me an absolute minimum of $7000 a month. The food is shite, you have to share a small room, and they're severely understaffed. All the profit goes to the owners and shareholders - and they make that profit by understaffing, under-caring, and under-providing. For-profit healthcare needs to die.

👍🏻 Via Kyle Griffin:

Rep. Jamie Raskin & Sen. Richard Blumenthal have intro’d legislation to enforce the Constitution's explicit language banning foreign by prohibiting the President, VP, Cabinet officials and Members of Congress from accepting payments from foreign governments without first obtaining the consent of Congress.

Officials would be prohibited from accepting foreign payments without Congressional approval during the entire time in office and for two years after leaving.

A #Tesla owner says his car’s ‘self-driving’ technology failed to detect a moving train ahead of a crash caught on camera

A video viewed millions of times on social media shows a Tesla almost crashing into a train. Documents from Tesla show the car was in Full Self-Driving mode at the time.

I'm glad he detected the problem and avoided a terrible crash.
But that said I think anyone who trusts self driving cars at this point in time is a little bit foolish..

Blame it on all of us failing to properly "identify all squares with a moving train" on the captchas.

My reason for moving: When Trump got in, I said to Mr. Laffy, "He'll now have the courts. We can't overcome a lot of that." This is what I was referring to:

: upholds 's congressional map, reversing a lower court decision that struck down the map for racial gerrymandering.

The Court also makes it harder to fight against future racial gerrymandering. https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-carolina-redistricting-challenge/

@GottaLaff we can't overcome a lot of that within conventional legal frameworks.

What scares me is they're going to force people to adopt unconventional extra legal or even illegal frameworks to combat it.

What scares me even more is how long it'll be before that starts to really manifest itself.

@GottaLaff Damn Damn damn...Obama and Holder warned us......they've been working to fight it...but (FU ) they have the courts now....(not only ) Prepare for another hanging chad debacle.

I remember a time when republicans railed against what they called, "activist judges". Of course, those were judges who ruled in favor of civil rights, racial and gender equality, voting rights, etc.

@GottaLaff And Biden's gotten a ton of justices appointed to lower Federal courts...but this corrupt theocratic majority is just reversing all of them. I can't even

Via Lawrence Tribe:

The Trumpers are now going for the jugular in attacking the great 1965 precedent on which nearly all federal rights of privacy and personal autonomy depend, Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, upholding the right to use when having sexual relations.

-Harris HQ:

Top supporter Marsha Blackburn says Griswold v. Connecticut is “constitutionally unsound”

(Griswold v. Connecticut is the 1965 Supreme Court ruling that legalized birth control)

@GottaLaff I notice that those trying to ban contraception tend to be either AMAB, or AFAB but past childbearing age.

Today I read one report that RFKJr has 17% of the vote nationally.

Then I saw this from Cook. So you'll forgive me if, despite knowing how meaningless polls are, I get nervous:

@GottaLaff Stein pulled enough votes from Hillary in swing states in 2016 to hand Trump the victory...funny how when they assumed the incumbent would "win" in 2020 there were no 3rd parties🤔

@SailorDisco @TCatInReality No, not on him alone. There's all kinds of things working against him that are out of his control. It is NOT his fault and his alone.

When you work for Trump - you are expendable.

It's why we're seeing all of these former Trump colleagues going around like "Why, why did he do this to me?" "Why, I was special to him!!"

Trump only cares about Trump.
