Hmm. Every sentence of Dershowitz's argument is a lie. Every one.

Dersh's argument.

It's neither sound nor even formally valid.

Premise: All politicians believe their own electoral victories are in the public interest. 

Premise (or aside?): Mostly, they are right. 

Conclusion: So if the quid pro quo is help getting elected, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that justifies removal from office.

Is that a brag, talking to Democrats?

Amy Klobuchar just now told Joe and Mika on MSNBC the names of several Republican office holders who have changed parties in order to caucus for her - at the Democratic caucuses - in Iowa.

She's bragging about this.

Does that really work?

Hurrah, hurrah; I'm the Democrat Republicans prefer for the Democratic nominee against Trump.

Screw them.

They don't get to force real Democrats to vote for the Republicans' favorite Democrat to stop Trump.

We get to force them to vote for the Democrats' favorite Democrat to stop Trump.

Is anybody in the "unitary executive" not in on the coverup?

John Kerry overheard discussing possible 2020 bid amid concern of 'Sanders taking down the Democratic Party'

These stooges of worried plute party donors pretend it's about Sanders not being able to win.

Horseshit.

It's about the agenda and the bully pulpit Sanders would use to bash the shit out of the plutes.

Class war with the little guy's side winning, in other words.

These are the same sort of shits who hated FDR, and whose hatred he said he welcomed.

He says he keeps all his promises, and even keeps promises he hasn't made!

Looks like he's getting ready to break a couple of big ones.

He really is just a front man for the most radical right wing moves to undo every progressive achievement since McKinley.

Column: Trump opens door to Social Security cuts

With his penchant for saying the quiet parts out loud and assuming no one is paying attention, President Trump on Wednesday opened the door to cutting Social Security and Medicare later this year.

Thing is, like any Republican, when he denies doing or intending to do something awful he's lying.

Think of Ocare and preexisting conditions.

And when he says he is doing or going to do something awful he's telling the truth.

His deplorable white trash voters will just stay in denial, no matter what.

Fucking idjits.

"It's clearly working"

A noble (!) use of racist disinformation about the coronavirus outbreak.

Coronavirus misinformation surges, fueled by clout chasers

The first- and second-most-popular coronavirus posts on Instagram since the start of the outbreak, according to Crowdtangle, a social media metric platform, came from the account of Karmagawa, a U.S. nonprofit owned by an internet marketer that donates proceeds from the sale of branded merchandise to various charitable causes.

Both posts feature a carousel of videos, some of which show people eating animals like bats and mice and put the blame for the outbreak on the eating habits of Asian people — claims that have been debunked. 

Experts have warned about the spread of xenophobic and racially insensitive stereotypes tied to the coronavirus.

. . . .

Jennifer Mancini, a public relations representative for the nonprofit, said that while the videos are perhaps technically misinformation, they generally support the current research and are in the service of a greater philanthropic mission: to save animals and build schools.

“A lot of his stuff is for shock value, but look at the results,” Mancini said. 

“He’s had so many shares. He’s gained so many followers, and donations have started coming in, so it’s clearly working. People are watching, right?”

Mancini said money donated to the nonprofit would go to buy supplies and medicine for people and families affected by the virus.

Watching Bernie clips on You Tube

AOC in Iowa, campaigning for Bernie, is urging an agenda of the working class and working class power.

Socialism is the opium of lots of people, but anybody who has the balls to campaign for working people (Bernie, AOC, etc.) rather than "the middle class" has my attention.

The agenda is what it is, a modest dose of social democracy that is of immense value to tens of millions of ordinary Americans that will cost the plutes of America much more than they ever thought they would have to pay for social peace.

They are the authoritarian, almost fascist plutes.

And they pretend to be terrified by the socialism of AOC, Bernie, and an entire wing of the Democratic Party when they are merely enraged by it.

The threat is not AOC, Bernie, or their "socialism".

The threat is the billionaires who might rather sink the republic than see such advances for the working people of America, with its consequences for everybody above them in the social scale.
