Long before the age of lawfare embodied by trials like those of Hunter Biden and Donald Trump, politicians were supposed to at least pretend to address the concerns of the voters.
He’s So Senile He Can’t Pretend He’s Senile
•
Special Counsel Robert Hur decided not to charge President Biden with mishandling classified documents because he’s too senile to be deemed to have free will and intent for prosecution. Yet Biden immediately called a press conference, at which he claimed to be of sound mind and body—and then conflated the presidents of Mexico and Egypt.
Civics 2023
•
Clinton was impeached over lying about oral sex, Trump was impeached twice, Biden will likely be impeached soon and Trump faces 78 felony counts on various rounds of charges. Lawfare as political combat has become normalized to the point that, in the future, elections will matter less than the courts to politicians.
Grate Debate
•
The Republican frontrunner for president could go to prison during the 2024 campaign. If the G.O.P.-led House Oversight Committee is right that Joe Biden took millions in bribes, so could the Democratic frontrunner. The debates could get…interesting.
All Hail the Prisoner-in-Chief
•
It is more likely than not that Donald Trump will be on trial, facing prison time, during the 2024 election campaign. It is also more likely than not that he will be the Republican nominee for President of United States. So it’s entirely possible that he will become president behind bars. And the Constitution doesn’t seem to have a problem with that.
Just a Big Joke
•
Audio has allegedly captured a conversation in which Donald Trump appeared to discuss classified military documents that he knows he wasn’t supposed to have. Trump’s spokesperson claimed that he was “speaking rhetorically and also quite humorously.”
Pick One Box
•
Facing multiple criminal indictments, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump might be in prison by election day 2024. Joe Biden, the Democratic incumbent and party frontrunner, is currently older than 96% of all Americans, a number that will only become bleaker by next year. It’s hard to argue that American democracy is alive and well. Which box will you choose?
20 Years to Life—in the White House
•
Donald Trump’s poll numbers increased after Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg indicted him for business fraud. Now it looks like he’ll be arrested again, this time for mishandling classified documents. Republicans will circle the wagons around him again, of course.
MSM
•
Political centrists, including those who run the mainstream corporate media, position themselves as reasonable and more rational than proponents of ideas to their left or to the right. But the militant moderates are fanatics in their own right, closed to any possibility that they might be mistaken and willing to ruthlessly crush opposing views.
The Civil War Over Vaccines
•
Whether or not to get vaccinated against the coronavirus has become the most controversial and divisive political issue in the country today. It literally separates families from one another in a way that no other issue has in recent memory.
