Saying you're a constitutional originalist is kind of lazy

You know how four years ago people were saying Donald Trump was a poor man's version of what a rich man would be like? I think originalism is a dumb person's idea of what a smart person would think. It's the Rubik's Cube of judicial philosophy. It's just a trick you learn and people who aren't knowledgeable about how the whole system works are impressed by the fancy finger work and the way the pretty colors all line up.

Some say Trumps impending balloon payments to Russian mobsters is a security threat.But don't worry



Trump told us years ago he's the king of debt! I'm sure he can handle this

A nice summary of the Trump family tax fraud

President Trump, Tax Fraud? runs about 33 minutes, but gives you a lot of insight into how they use their wealth to avoid pay taxes

Please don't say karma

Karma kills a quarter of a million Americans by mid-December

Trump gets his infection detected early, then gets world class medical care paid for by tax dollars he never contributed to. Not a bit of hydroxychloroquine.

And Americans are all going "Good job, karma!!"

*sigh*

Turns out, he was Basil Fawlty all along.

Trump, Biden skip handshakes, social distance at podiums for debate in shadow of coronavirus pandemic




President Trump and Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden will not shake hands at their first debate next week in Ohio due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, campaign sources told Politico.

The move is one of several adjustments the campaigns are ironing out to comply with social distances guidelines. An elbow-bump was considered but both campaigns decided that it would awkward.

Trump stating that there are higher covid death rates in "blue states" just stuns me

I always kinda suspected he doesn't mind people dying in Democratic states, but I never thought he'd come right out and state it.

Bob Woodward sat on this audiotape for 7 months

New Yorkers were planning Mass burials a month after this tape was made because they were running out of refrigerated trucks to handle the volume of bodies piling up.... and Bob Woodward thought he needed to sit on this another 6 months to help his book sales.

Trump is an amoral piece of shit who'd kill his own supporters if it would get him re-elected. He bragged about that 4 years ago. We knew that about him.

But I would have expected Bob Woodward to do something a little bit sooner because it would have saved lives.
