  1. No. Yes, I will vote, but voting is not enough. We have to campaign. We have to help others vote. Voting alone is not going to give Biden the overwhelming majority we need to minimize post-election violence from MAGA’s most fanatical nutcases. Giving Biden a landslide will slam the lid on the GOP trashcan.

  2. There’s a shit ton of legit charities, some of which buy vehicles and drones for the Ukrainian military. NAFO is a good starting point, but it’s not the only one. They’re not tax deductible, but that shouldn’t stop you if you really want to help.

  3. One of the big surprises is that Orban got out of the way (after assurances that Hungary wouldn’t lose its EU earmarks). He said he was going to block it.

  4. He’s not going to ask for an en banc hearing, because the hold on the trial will lapse on the 12th, so he has to ask the Supreme Court to stay the trial and rule on the Appellate panel’s ruling. Are you with me so far? He cannot waste time, he has to file for the stay AND for certiorari immediately. To get the stay, he needs 5 justices to grant it. To get a hearing (aka certiorari aka cert), he needs 4 justices. There is a decent chance that the Supreme Court won’t grant him cert because the three judge appellate panel was so thorough. If the court does grant cert, there’s still a pretty good chance they won’t give him a stay and the trial in Judge Chutkin’s court will continue to move forward.

  5. I think the weakest part of that is that he’s being disqualified from primary ballots. Technically, he’s running to be the nominated candidate at this stage. If the GOP wants to nominate a candidate who is disqualified from office, that’s their right. Didn’t the Yippies try to nominate a pig at the 1968 Democratic convention?

  6. I think there will be a lot of pressure on Biden to expand the court, something he hasn’t wanted to do.

  7. The John Birch Society finally destroyed the GOP in 2016, and it’s just been the slow motion aftermath ever since.

  8. If they don’t grant cert, there’s nothing to send back or remand. The appellate panel’s decision stands.

  9. Somebody ask Tom if it’s true that Tom Clancy based the Jack Reacher character on him. 😂

  13. They’re immune to reality checks. Haven’t you noticed? The GOP needs to be exorcised out of politics.
