LAPD Chief McDonnell is refusing to comply with the court order.
Should he be fired?

This isn't as black & white of a Republican v. Democrat issue as you might think. I grew up in Nebraska, where people worship collegiate sports. The "Go Big Red" cult isn't defined by partisan lines. Haranguing about any purported "threat" to college sports plays well there across party lines.

The Democratic Party's approval rating is in the toilet, and the main reason is voters see Dem leaders and prominent members acting like things are basically okay instead of fighting like there's an emergency. Slot "my friend Lindsey Graham, so funny, how great to work with him" comments into that.

Yeah, if only Amy Coney Barrett were president, instead of on the Supreme Court. We could replace her with Virginia "Ginni" Thomas. Kind of a shame we couldn't elect Margaret Thatcher as president.

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

People who chastise non-voters seem to have a belief that non-voters would have voted for Harris (or at least someone other than Trump). Since these folks didn't seem to think that Harris-Trump offered a real choice, why would they have chosen Harris over Trump? They saw them as the same thing.

I am not sure we should pick on non voters. They somehow tacitly seem to know that they are too stupid to vote, so they don't. Bless them.
