I’ve been joking this needs to happen as it crams a lot of anime per square inch. How many other magical girl/isekai/super robot shows are there?

So, is the SCOTUS Looking to Destroy the Country….
Jman replied to 1pooh4u's topic in Current Events
Oh yeah, it's vague as all hell. On purpose so they don't accidentally give Biden the power to pack the courts and order a drone strike on Mar-A-Lago. If Trump loses again, I fully expect it to be clarified in such a matter that it has to be things related to official actions, not campaigns, not personal meetings, not rallies, etc. But they need that vagueness to protect him for now. -

The court ruled that the president does not have SWEEPING immunity, but has immunity related to things done within official tasks of the presidency. i.e.: If the president does something related to duties done in regards to fulfilling the position of the office, he is immune. If it's stuff not related to his job he happened to do while being president (campaigns, rally speeches, deals done outside of the context of the presidency), he is not immune. AKA partisan padding the clock. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-immunity-supreme-court-decision-07-01-24/index.html Essentially this shifts the nature of the defense to "Did Trump act within the duties of the President of the United States, or was he doing this on his own regardless of the duties of the office?" Clearly the latter, but the stalling tactic is stalling. -

Hypothetically, if you got someone and Joe endorsed Jim wholeheartedly, you could probably make an appeal to both the “Joe is too old” and “Fuck Trump” crowds, as well as pointing out the party wants what’s best for the country, not personal glory like Trump. But it is a very delicate tightrope. -

Pretty much this despite my idealistic picture of what they could do. There’s always this hope, this vain hope that the inevitability won’t happen, that something will save us, and it never happens. So here we are. Also Joe is doing a rally in Raleigh right now so he’s not stepping back. -

Honestly I think getting someone younger would immediately energize the base, but there’s only so much time to do so. Not to mention if they did dump Joe, and Joe endorsed the new guy, you could see a lot of the “double haters” embrace him if the policies are sound. Biden’s issue has never been policy so much as optics. -

It’s more a damning indictment of Congress that no one trusts them to set up the regulations because of how broken it is. If we had a functioning representative government and not Grenee and Bobbi the HJ Clown this would be a matter of jurisdiction. -

Unfortunately, we all know Trump will likely get a sycophant. This reinforces my opinion that if the GOP didn't go with Trump, they would be set to win in a landslide. Unfortunately the brains of the GOP are burnt more than a Trump steak and they remain an existential threat to a lot of Democrats and Independents due to their lineup of conspiracy peddlers. -

CNN is apparently burying everyone. Age limits. You can get a lot of support for a campaign on age and term limits. -

Term age limits. For Congress, the Courts, and the Presidency. 65 max age limit. After that, retire, teach, etc. -

Well yeah. I’m annoyed with both of them, but everyone is pointing out Biden seems to be doing better on the back end. Still a shit show by any normal standard because Obama broke the brains of half the country. -

It was the courts that did it, not the legislature. He should have pushed to enshrine federal protections. That would have sounded better. But I’m not his age. -

I hate both of them. The problem is one is still a convicted felon. -

Paramount are shitheads, but it’s because their owner is too idealistic. She should have taken the money from Sony, let Sony strip mine the whole goddamn thing, shutter Paramount Plus, and monetize the material. Instead she said no because she still thinks it’s the 50s. -
