for change

When the boomers are gone... perhaps the next gens, having no one else to blame any longer, will get offa their lazy asses, put down their phones, stop playing with themselves, and go out into the streets to protest doe change... you know, like the boomers did.

"If we review the 12th Amendment, we find that there is a requirement that the Vice President must be eligible to become President. This has led many to conclude that someone who has already been "termed out" as President could not serve as Vice President; however, this does not appear to be correct.

The 12th Amendment only requires that an individual who is ineligible to become President cannot be Vice President. It does not say that someone who is ineligible to be elected President could not be Vice President.

Accordingly, the 22nd Amendment leaves open a loophole that an individual could be elected to the Vice Presidency (or the Speakership of the House), then rise to the Presidency."

Yeah, I know she's said she didn't want it, but the kids are older now, so...

And Barack can be VP, he just can't be "elected" President again.

Unfortunately the VP has a low 40's popularity, and no one's heard of Jeffries.

Here's my Dream Scenario... Justice Thomas chokes on a gift package of chitlins, or discovers he has only 3 minutes to live, and Biden replaces him with Mamala, whom he replaces with Michelle.

Then he announces his retirement at the Convention, and Michelle becomes the candidate with Barrack or Jeffries as VP.

Trump supporters whining about almost anyone else's morals is laughable.

They align themselves with not only The Worst President in American History, according to Presidential Historians, but also one of the most immoral people to ever disgrace the Office.

Obligatory:

Of course it's happening here.... the House GOP is trying to kill aid to Ukraine, why?

Because they like having Vlad's troll farms and hackers on their side.

I've said that had I been a Republican, God forbid, I might have voted for Trump over the GOP Est which his supporters hate as much as Dems do.

But hopefully I wouldn't have after reading up on his history of cons and poor business decisions and complete lack of any recognition of any value in anyone or anything other than himself.

And certainly not after he became a traitor to his country by trying to overthrow an election with Fake Electors and a riot in the Capitol building.

Maher is right to say, as Beau of the 5th has said, that there is such a thing as being too woke.

But all this is dealing with the extremes on both sides who are promoted by the Media because they make the most noise.

Most people fall in between, and conservatives would be much better off in the Dem party or as moderate Indies than continuing to suck up to someone who is the epitome of evil... the root of which is the love and adoration of money, and giving up power to those who have it.

Yes, but you're an accomplished idiot.

Europe would notice... and go to war over it. And so would we if they did.

Whataboutism BLM! Whataboutism BLM!

whataboutism
/(h)w'd'boudiz'm/

the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue.

From a logical and argumentative point of view, whataboutism is considered a variant of the tu-quoque pattern (Latin 'you too', term for a counter-accusation), which is a subtype of the ad-hominem argument.[1][2][3][4]

The communication intent is often to distract from the content of a topic (red herring). The goal may also be to question the justification for criticism and the legitimacy, integrity, and fairness of the critic, which can take on the character of discrediting the criticism, which may or may not be justified. Common accusations include double standards, and hypocrisy, but it can also be used to relativize criticism of one's own viewpoints or behaviors. (A: "Long-term unemployment often means poverty in Germany." B: "And what about the starving in Africa and Asia?")

.[5] Related manipulation and propaganda techniques in the sense of rhetorical evasion of the topic are the change of topic and false balance (bothsidesism).[6]

Israel and Ukraine are both geopolitically important the West...

Supporting Israel and Ukraine promotes stability across the globe

- Putin wants to deNazify Ukraine

Nazis were still only 2 percent of the last vote in Ukraine... which is at least as much as it was here.

You've gone completely braindead on this point.... the people in Europe who heard you claim this would laugh you out of town; Russian governments have been blaming Nazis for everything from the common cold to wars ever since Stalingrad. Read an ---- book for F's sake!

AND Putin is the biggest threat to Europe since Hitler, and there is no debating that... just ask Europe.

Nice article, Gal.

I wasn't sure of the felony argument, but that spells it out nicely. Thanks!

Johnson is a Putin Enabler, as Chamberlain was to Hitler.

Republicans know that if Putin pulls the plug on Russian support for Trump in their troll farms and hack factories, they and he are done.

Free Speech is only for Corporate Personhoods, according to Republicans.

Anything they can do to silence it in public protests is a win for them.

And the antiChrist is already in the Court...

Drone video shows frenzy of sharks off the coast of Florida

"After leaving court on Monday, former President Donald Trump repeatedly suggested that Judge Juan Merchan would prevent him from attending his son's high school graduation in May.

"It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son," Trump said, before lamenting "that I can't go to my son's graduation."

Trump's son Eric Trump ratcheted up the rhetoric by tweeting, "Judge Merchan is truly heartless in not letting a father attend his son's graduation."

Facts First: The judge hasn't ruled yet on Trump's request to be excused from court so he can attend Barron Trump's high school graduation."

Can't believe Trump would lie like that, right?

The Plan apparently was that the stock would only have to hold up for 6 mos until Trump could sell his and even though most people would lose their investment, he would still make out nicely since this was borrowed money he wasn't going to have to pay back anyway.

Technically, he might be able to sell sooner; give himself a waiver, but that hasn't happened either. He may not have room for another Court date, lol.

prove the case (i need a new editor!)

It's the weakest case, as I understand it, because he hasn't also been charged with breaking election laws, which isn't necessary, apparently, but would help the prove case of illegally hiding the hush money as business transactions.

Election laws written by elected officials being notoriously purposely vague and hard to prove.

"At the end of January, the deal easily passed the House, 357-70. Endorsements poured in from all sides. But progress stalled out in the Senate, where the bill has languished ever since.

Led by Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo, the senior Republican on the Finance Committee, Republican senators have claimed to be negotiating in good faith.

However, the changes they've demanded would scuttle Democratic support for a bill already tilted toward corporate tax breaks or require finding entirely new sources of funding.

The day the deal passed the House, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, let the mask slip:

"Passing a tax bill that makes the president look good " mailing out checks before the election " means he could be re-elected," he told reporters, "and then we won't extend the 2017 tax cuts."

Give Republicans the choice between helping children and families or kowtowing to their corporate donors?

You know how that's going to turn out.

Trump's team asked whether he could attend SCOTUS arguments next week. The judge said see you "here next week"

Judge Juan Merchan told Donald Trump's team he will see them next week when asked about the possibility of changing the schedule so the former president could attend Supreme Court arguments April 25.

Trump attorney Todd Blanche noted the former president "very much" wants to attend the arguments over whether the former president may claim immunity in special counsel Jack Smith's election subversion case.

Prosecutor Josh Steinglass said there's no obligation that the defendant has to be present at the Supreme Court arguments, opposing the request.

"Your client is a criminal defendant," Merchan told Blanche. "He's required to be here" and not at the Supreme Court.

Merchan said he will see him "here next week."

I'm kinda glad my daughter stopped diving to bring these coral up to land-based nurseries to recover and be re-homed in the ocean.

With the water temps, not only is the coral affected, but the sharks are getting antsy.

That's not why she stopped; she took a University Professor position, but I'm glad of that.

"Ocean temperature is a crucial determinant of how sharks breathe, eat, reproduce, and where they are able to live. One primary way warmer oceans are changing shark physiology is through metabolism.

Warmer temperatures speed up sharks' metabolic rate, meaning they are burning more energy in their fight to survive. A faster metabolism translates to quicker digestion which leads to lowered nutrient absorption and a more rapid need for consumption.

This increased need for input is coupled by an increased difficulty to find prey, making a surfer's seal-like silhouette even more enticing."
