Sovereign citizens are an outgrowth of the same thing. "If a legal document doesn't write my name with special punctuation, it doesn't count." When they're losing, they invent imaginary new rules and say the opposition is invalid for their failure to adhere to those new rules (which then vanish).

"Biden's use of an autopen means anything he authorized is null and void" is an expansion of a tactic long used by Republicans: something a Democratic president did is bad because they didn't do a crucial, special thing that was just now invented. Flag pin, suit color, fringe-less flag, whatever.

This works for Republicans in part because major media outlets pretend that these rules could be valid, so the public thinks "hey, there's a dispute, it's unclear." It's been hours, and the Times doesn't appear to have yet deemed it newsworthy that Trump says everything Biden did is null and void.

This is the story of another guy indicted in the Southern District of New York, who Trump just pardoned. One of Trump's personal lawyers and appointee was even part of the prosecution! donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...
But if Trump is opposed to drug trafficking from south of the border, why did he just pardon another leader in the region who was part of a massive drug trafficking ring? Juan Orlando Hernández, the former President of Honduras, was tried and convicted of exactly the accusations that Trump is using to drum up a pretext for war against Venezuela. Hernández was convicted of receiving millions from violent drug gangs for facilitating the flow of 400 tonnes of cocaine into America, while corrupting state institutions. A prosecutor reported that Hernández boasted to drug dealers that “together they were going to shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.”

To reiterate, we’re talking a D+19 shift in TENNESSEE, a state which Trump won by almost 30 points A YEAR AGO (last year Trump won CD-07 by 22 points and scandal-plagued Mark Green won CD-07 by 21.5 points)

Were this 17-point swing to occur uniformly in every Congressional district as now drawn, the result would be approximately 264 D seats, 171 R seats, a 51-seat shift. TX gerrymandering gains would be limited to 2 seats; NC/MO, backfire. Not to say this will happen, just to illustrate the impact.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

The cult loves to excuse Trump from the Epstein files by saying he threw Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago. And maybe he did, but it was after a long 15 year long friendship. That doesn’t negate a 15 years long relationship and their “fondness” for girls on the younger side. Marlene Robertson

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US. They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women. The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

Oh swell. . @cnn.com is partnering with Kalshi, the "world's largest global prediction market company." That means the cable "news" network is now in business with the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., a senior adviser to the company. Another reason not to watch. www.axios.com/newsletters/...
A tweet from Donald Trump Junior on Jan 13, 2025

On Election night at Mar-a-Lago, while biased outlets called the race a coin toss, my family and close friends used the prediction market @Kalshi to know we won hours before the fake news media.

I immediately knew I had to contribute to their mission. Today I am proud to announce that I am joining Kalshi as a strategic advisor.

The Kalshi team has worked hard, sued the Biden administration, and achieved the impossible feat of becoming the first legal prediction market in the US. I'm excited to be part of what they're building.

Now, time to trade on whether Biden is going to pardon Fauci and Cheney.
