Oh, we could certainly sue all the channels for right-wing propaganda out of existence before the law was overturned :) ! Breitbart alone puts out a dozen articles a day that would be lawsuit-worthy under laws as loose as Trump would like them - they’d not make it a month, if people were finally able to do something…
Rewriting the constitution altogether is possible; passing an amendment hasn’t been possible since the 90s at the latest.
To be fair, those state legislatures have their own agenda that is quite distinct from Trump’s.
Even if the story is airtight in its facts, a lawsuit can take months to resolve, and necessitate that journalists waste time appearing in court to testify instead of working on new stories. Just having to defend yourself can be a real burden, even if you’re guaranteed to win. Not to mention that more minor outlets,…
He’s certainly not going to get a constitutional amendment on anything passed, and his track record for arguing anything legally shaky in the courts has proven to be dismal at best. There’s good reason to think that any efforts he makes in this direction will fail, just like everything else he’s tried.
How wonderful to see that Trump Dear Leader is planning to live down up to our dystopian fears wildest dreams! Can we get an impeachment name him President for Life now?
And even then, you have the opportunity costs incurred. If Obama hadn’t had to spend time trying to fix the government or repair our reputation, imagine what he could have done instead - especially as things like the Deep Water Horizon disaster, Iraq War, or housing bubble simply wouldn’t have happened.
Ironically, China will probably take that role. They’re downright desperate to deal with their pollution crisis, and are making heavy investments simply so that they can safely breathe the air again. Tackling global warming might not be their direct focus, but it’s a logical extension of their efforts - especially…
We won’t, really. We still hadn’t fully recovered from the Bush years by the end of Obama’s term - plenty of agencies were still dealing with unqualified appointments and the effects of bad policies lingering from Bush’s administration. It just wasn’t generally visible to the public, because they’re too minor to make…
Is that necessarily true, though? I’ve seen many cases where right-wing hate groups are crowing about how feminists are “outraged” by some non-event that literally nobody outside of their echo chamber has heard about. Since most of his fans don’t look at anything but the least reputable right-wing rags, it doesn’t…
Except he already has a base of pretty toxic supporters whom he routinely uses to target random people who catches his ire - with consequences ranging from a bad afternoon, to years of severe harassment.
Well, if we’re going to try something new, I’d recommend nitrogen asphyxiation - it’s painless, it’s clean, and it’s extremely simple. It’s the least cruel method of execution that I can think of.
Maybe he thinks that if he’s in the public eye often enough, he’s less likely to get Polonium’d? Not that that’s ever stopped Putin before, but...
And, you know, I’d feel obligated to vote for Chelsea Clinton, if only out of spite towards her detractors, but...
Arguments against the death penalty aside, I just don’t understand why we have to torture people to death.
I saw his ass yelling into a microphone the other night with his same old tired shit: “The Democratic Party needs a radical make-over” of some such shit.I saw his ass yelling into a microphone the other night with his same old tired shit: “The Democratic Party needs a radical make-over” of some such shit.
To say nothing of how on Chris Hayes yesterday, he reiterated the fact that he doesn’t consider himself a Democrat, despite campaigning with Tom Perez. Isn’t that a slap in the face to someone he’s supposedly helping.
It was what, a couple of tweets and a countdown for a couple of hours once MSNBC saw how much reaction there was to them? That’s really nothing, from a hype perspective, and they were up-front about the returns just being the 1040.
What a coincidence, it’s just my nature to demand his resignation.
