Biden not doing so well in polls. The Dems messaging sucks, their undying support of Israel is absolutely hurting them. Also, the average voter is just a selfish ignorant fool that has horrible memory. "The economy was good under Trump!" Ignoring how he had most of pre covid, and the economy was "good" thanks to Obama.

They probably see Biden as weak, and too steeped in political norms to ever do such a thing. So it's not even a worry for them to seriously consider. Though on the off chance that is a possibility for them, they are also going to find a way to just have this pertain to what Trump did, not all out immunity, to save themselves from being targets of a position of power that is now completely unaccountable and has the power to kill opponents with no oversight.

This supreme court is the second most destructive in the history of the country only behind the one that plunged it into a civil war.

I do find it funny how Greg Abbot is saying that anti semitism is not allowed in Texas and that all the protestors should be arrested for it, which the decrying of anti semitism is clearly a crock of shit given how back in Dec of 2023 they first rejected a ban on associating with Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/12/02/texas-gop-antisemitism-resolution/ Also, now they want to police speech when they decried people rallying at universities years ago to counter the likes of Richard Spencer and other far right provocateurs that had ties to neo nazis and anti semites. Hell, Colleges and Universities that gave such people a platform said they had to because freedom of speech and they are about an exchange of ideas. Frankly, having militarized police shut things down is making this more of an issue than the actual protests would have if allowed to just continue on.

The US is still funding it and supplying them with arms, which is bad enough. Some of the universities, like Columbia, have endowment investment in companies that are doing business with Israel, like Amazon and Google (they have a $1.2bn cloud-computing contract with the state’s government), and Microsoft who has services used by Israel’s ministry of defense and Israeli civil administration. Then you have have some of their investments with Lockheed Martin.

Universities totally have never responded heavy handed to anti war protests before. Totally can't back fire.

According to his substack, "We are victims of a totalitarian con, and our own government (along with many of their allies) is about to hit us with an apocalyptic fascist world coup." There is an entire manifesto under it.

Finally caught up, episode 9 was intense. No clue how they are gonna wrap everything up in one episode. Guessing we wont see the big battle.

Looks like I am 2 episodes behind. So far though I am enjoying the hell out of it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/16/supreme-court-jan-6-obstruction-case-trump-rioters/ This court continues to be horrendous on so many levels. I fully expect them to give Trump immunity and word it in such a way it only applies to him.
