The Cook County, Illinois court’s opinion removing Trump from the Illinois ballot moves me precisely because it is a workmanlike, straightforward, judicial decision. Here’s the full text, with light annotations by me. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zagZ7azM2uN8JSEOQfjJYe_Sm1wCCNFV/view?usp=drivesdk 1/ #LawFedi
@RamenCatholic What’s wrong with a box of stuffing for dinner?
@AlliFlowers Like I said on another thread. He's waiting ... for a state funeral in case he dies between now and november.
In reality he doesn't want KY Gov (D) to appoint a more centrist GOP (he can't appoint a Dem).
@AlliFlowers
I have a bottle chilling in hope he chokes before then...POS

McConnell's weaponization of our SCOTUS by blocking Garland proved that he valued power over patriotism.
He should step down from the Senate. Period. And he should do it now. Why waste another 9 months? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mitch-mcconnell-step-down-senate-leader_n_65df6be6e4b0e4346d54b36a
“There is no merit to defendants’ contention that a full bond or deposit is unnecessary because they are willing to post a partial undertaking of less than a quarter of the judgment amount,” state lawyer Dennis Fan wrote. “Defendants all but concede that Mr. Trump has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment; defendants would need ‘to raise capital’ to do so.”
And there we have it. Trump doesn't have the scratch, and no one is willing to stake him the amount.😆

@jerry That’s silly. Men are suppose to halve their chronological age for their mental and emotional age. 😉 Fifty is definitely young enough to get that degree, pass the bar, and join a firm. @mentallyalex@beige.party
This is the #Michigan #primary data I’m looking at:
The #Biden / #Trump side by side comparison.
So far, with a smaller percentage of Democratic votes counted, Biden is beating Trump, even w/ the #uncommitted #ProtestVote.
Biden has 89,813 votes w/ 12.38% of the vote counted.
Trump has 89,708 votes w/ 12.61% of the vote counted.
Assume conservatively that in the general election Biden gets at least 50% of those uncommitted votes.
@jerry I dunno how old you are, but I went back at 61 for my Ph.D. It’s never too late. @mentallyalex@beige.party

@dukepaaron One of the few heavy metal groups I have in my collection.
Biden has absolute immunity, so why shouldn’t he simply waterboard Johnson until he caves in?
