April 25, 2024 https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-25-2024 “I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S. Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as ‘an official act,’” lawyer Marc Elias, whose firm defends democratic ele...

You’re looking for logic in the wrong place. The place you will find it, just like on 14A-3, is in the practical and the political. This Court will not find that Trump’s version of immunity, or maybe even any version of immunity exists. But it will put its finding behind, temporally, the election. S...

“28. Kansas City Chiefs (from Buffalo Bills): Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas - Grade: C The excitement of handing Patrick Mahomes the new record holder for the 40-yard dash is understandable. Even Mahomes himself, who reached out to the speedster after the receiver burned a 4.21-second run, seemed excite...

Justice Sotomayor asked Trump's lawyer what would happen if a President ordered the assassination of a political rival. The answer - a President should be immu...

Sure, Jan: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53677049342_c8d5023a48_c.jpg So if our intelligence services determine a domestic rival to be a Russian asset and a threat to disclose top secret documents/information....can we go ahead and pull the trigger? Asking for a friend. It would seem that the...

The juxtaposition of the NY and DC proceedings today is really quite jarring. In NY, there is an ongoing criminal trial at which the following has been introduced: In 2018, Pecker received a letter from the federal election commission. He called Cohen “immediately” after receiving the letter. Pecker...

I'd be pissed if my kid ISN'T doing those things. The whole deal is leaning how to exercise freedoms AND learn how to balance those with responsbilities.

Seems as if the Court will, at best, limp-dick-punt all of this to some time beyond a time frame that supports a trial occurring prior to the election. The Democrats' job now is to graft this corrupt faux-feebleness onto the public anger over Dobbs and its progeny, and make it ABUNDANTLY clear to vo...

Don't ever fucking tell me these clowns are not aspiring authoritarians.

Inflation bad, grunt.

Immigrants bad, grunt.

America best, tug.

Seems like this goes here. https://x.com/clearing_fog/status/1783317706684711274?s=46&t=rVFZGOeA5P9Lq_-8Yt1KMA The [Federal Election Commission], in its entire documented history, has only recorded 252 legal reimbursement payments. 118 of those - almost half - came from Trump committees in the l...

So, Draft Dodgin Donnie assumes the name of unindicted co-conspirator 1. Again. At some point, the stacking-up state level charges (more likely to come) - which are not pardonable by Trump even if he wins (which he won't) - are going to result in one or more of the named co-conspirators singing.

One of the better MAGA magic tricks is turning the fact of voluminous (or “unprecedented”) charges into support for the notion that they’re baseless.

I'm meeting my daughter for lunch tomorrow and we had discussed going to the Columbia restaurant in St. Armand Circle (Sarasota), but we won't be going there now. Which is sad, because it's a really good restaurant. It’s worth noting — he says he still supports Ron DeSantis and is “proud of everyth...

To be fair, not going to class was a lot of the best parts about college.

Curry was during the year where NIL became legal. Tre White decommited in December - 2 seasons before he would have played at KU. Markese Jacobs decommited in August, a full season before he would have played at KU. And by 'fuck him if he doesn't want to play here' I just don't think it's the way y...

It's code for, we liked you a lot earlier this season but now our budget has expanded more than we expected and there are a lot of free agents we have the money for, and we aren't so sure we want to invest the time in you when we have a guy who is already developed and ready to play and all we have...
