PSA:

It is by writing over the top headlines like the one below that you reveal yourself to be morons!

Listen, I do not tolerate this behavior on the right. I don't tolerate it on the left, either.

I've watched the video below. I've learned NOTHING NEW. Specifically, it contains no evidence of:

* Trump being stunned.

* Trump being furious.

* Trump panicking.

* Or that what happened in the Senate is a "bombshell."

I'd love it if he were stunned, furious, or panicking, but at most I'm thinking he is merely annoyed.

Occupy Democrats won the distinction of being banned from recommendation over their stupid hyperbole.

If you want to learn stuff, your time is better spent watching LegalEagle.

I am not a member of the DC Bar (or any BAR for that matter) but I'll give credit where credit is due.

I am super appreciative of #LegalEagle and his videos, but this is arguably his most important and it isn't very algorithm pleasing so I fear it will fall behind.

But there are #dcbar elections coming up and I'd anyone in the DC Bar sees this, it is crucial you elect #DianeSeltzer as the President to aid in these perilous times, she is far more accredited, and less dangerous than her opponent, none other than the brother of Pam Bondi. He will sell the legal system to #Felon47. Video with more details is attached

"NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government" says a YouTube commenter on the latest #LegalEagle video.

How is that not already a #TheOnion headline?

Answer: Because it was a headline in #TheShovel back in 2020, for an article that was mysteriously removed in March of this year.

The Shovel · NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government — The Shovel“This is the one we’ve been talking about! Damn it!”

I love the "Law and Chaos" podcast. I don't always have time for it, and it's a lot of the similar kind of waffling that many people don't like about e.g. "This Week in Virology".

But that's why I like it. It's just friends hanging out and offering their deep expertise about current events, and you get to be the fly on the wall. When I do have the time, I'm always happy that it's there for me.

Maybe the best thing about it is that Liz Dye is a nerdy lawyer and Andrew Torrez is an even nerdier lawyer. She will go in-depth on some recent event, and then he will go even deeper, provide some obscure background, make a joke about a case from 1983, until she audibly rolls her eyes and goes "... ok", and moves on. 😁

Thank you to #LegalEagle for pointing me their way.

A must watch for any-non US people who care about our elections. It's not that the majority of us are idiots, it's that the scales are weighed in favor of the idiots because some rich dipshits wanted to count their slaves as extra votes over a century ago. Voter fraud indeed. (And it's worth noting: Most local and state elections are determined by popular vote, not this.) youtube.com/watch?v=SsIris92D7 #election2024 #uspol #uspolitics #electionday #LegalEagle

What are the 3 buckets of lawsuits that the GOP are bringing to the 2024 election?

(If you've never seen Liz Dye of the Law and Chaos Podcast speak on actual legal political matters, you're in for a treat.)

youtube.com/watch?v=6bTpbDL5dc ← It's kind of breathtaking that they released this video. This is very much the sort of endorsement that would never happen under normal circumstances.

> Others will explain the policy differences between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump, but that's not the point of this video. I have very strong policy preferences, and while they do come out from time to time because law is the result of politics, this video's endorsement is not based on those policy preferences. And when I talk about a policy matter, I'm talking about the laws that a president might sign or the actions they might take, things that they can legitimately do under our system of governance.
> And those preferences are partisan, and that's fine. Reasonable minds can differ about those policies, but this is not about policy. This is about the law itself.
> This is an endorsement based on the law from a group of lawyers based on their experience and knowledge of the law, and it's about the preservation of our democracy.
> So not to bury the lede, LegalEagle cannot endorse Donald Trump for president. For the good of our country, the right vote is for vice President Kamala Harris.
> Donald Trump represents an affront to the law.
> Kamala Harris will uphold the law.
> This election is a choice between a criminal or a prosecutor, and I'd like to explain why this distinction is the only one that matters in this election. Because Donald Trump represents a credible threat to the rule of law, free speech and free elections, and without the rule of law, free speech and free elections, the rest simply doesn't matter.
> At that point, your policy preferences are irrelevant.

I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here, but...

Legal Eagle endorses Kamala Harris.

As he makes clear in his video, your policies differences with her don't matter if what it means is putting someone in power that *will* destroy democracy.

Yeah, I decided to watch the latest episode of LegalEagle. It is about Project 2025.

The policy changes proposed in this project as so cartoonishly evil that there is only one entity that came to my mind: the Enclave from Fallout.

Don't get me wrong. The entire project is frightening. If someone were to put it into action, innumerable innocents would suffer.

I say it is cartoonishly evil because those policies are so stupid that it will inevitably backfire in their faces, as they actually did for the Enclave in Fallout.

Again, this is not to minimize the suffering of those who are directly targeted by this project.

The Enclave in Fallout was cartoonishly evil, but since this was a game, it was an entertaining thought exercise. It was fun, as long as nobody wanted to implement anything resembling the Enclave.

Now people want to implement, in real life, something akin to the Enclave: Project 2025. It is cartoonishly evil, but it is also scary, because if ever implemented, multitudes will suffer.

(If you wonder why not the Nazis. That's because I see the Nazis as ruthlessly evil, not cartoonishly evil. I also have more lived experience with the Enclave. I did not live during WWII, but I've played the Fallout games.)
