They’re not overly concerned about the courts legitimacy. Liberals are for institutional reasons but it’s an argument we’re having with ourselves.

They’re calling it robust constitutionalism

In hindsight, there was one day, maybe only a few hours, when Pelosi, Pence and Miley could have ended this quickly.

Wray could've made sure Trump was locked up in early 2021 if he had wanted to. Not replacing him was a huge error by Biden and, as it turns out, for Wray too.

incredibly, bleakly funny that trump is going after christopher wray, who spent his entire tenure at the fbi with his head down desperately trying to avoid trump's attention and did nothing to protect the bureau from trump's attacks www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Authority ≠ legitimacy.

M.Sfinbar @sfinbar.bsky.social · 8h

Shadow docket stays show the court itself doesn’t believe it is legitimate, just that it has authority.

You can believe the court is illegitimate and also believe their rulings are legally binding. Otherwise you’re committing to something dark.

Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec.bsky.social · 10h

When you say "the Supreme Court is no longer legitimate" it doesn't mean "I think they've seriously compromised their moral authority and credibility". It means "I don't believe their rulings are legally binding".

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

So Hamas got 70k people killed and 70-80% of the hour isn’t destroyed to prove a point. Criminally stupid leadership.

Whatever helpful is, it’s not what Hamas did.

The optimal outcome for the republic is for democrats to fight like hell to extend the ACA tax credits and Trump to ignore them.

Memes serve as a tool of dark participation and are used purposefully “to disrupt, undermine, attack, resist or reappropriate discursive positions pertaining to public affairs narratives in the news” (Peters & Allan, 2021, pp. 2–3)

In the lead up to the civil war they had everything. Bad faith, denial, cope, slavery, murder, boundary stepping. All of it, and worse than today I’d wager.

9/11 didn’t lead to Saudia Arabia being destroyed so yeah different outcome. 9/11 guys weren’t as stupid as Hamas

M.Sfinbar @sfinbar.bsky.social · 23h

You better believe that there are a ton of pictures of Trump partying with drunk very young girls/women. These guys were pedos, on top of the world, and disposable cameras were a thing.

DURBIN: Why did you publicly claim to have the Epstein client list waiting for your review and then produce nothing relevant to that claim?

BONDI: There was no client list

Well they’ve done a fine job of it.

Yes, there was never a chance. But Hamas thought they would, because Hamas is stupid. So stupid that Gaza has now been destroyed.
