Race to unseat New York progressive ‘most expensive House primary ever’ (www.theguardian.com)

The primary for New York’s 16th congressional district, which takes place on Tuesday, has drawn record-breaking spending, with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) and a crypto-currency Super Pac behind the lion’s share of the funding....

Mildly surprised theyve agreed to a debate at all.

Biden says the next president may get to name two Supreme Court justices (www.npr.org)

LOS ANGELES – President Biden on Saturday night said he expects the winner of this year’s presidential election will likely have the chance to fill two vacancies on the Supreme Court – a decision he warned would be “one of the scariest parts” if his Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump, is successful in...

Weve got to implement term limits on justices now that people are starting to figure out lifetime appointments are easily gamed with younger justices.

Yeah thats never happened before.

you are the political climate. If you folks would put half the effort you put into trying to convince people everything is hopeless into fighting for reform like the people of the past who successfully achieved reform

I guess lets give up and have a trump appointed supreme court for decades.

Term limits for supreme court justices is one of those issues to drive people to the polls, its a pretty popular idea. Heaven forbid democratic candidates actually try to win with popular ideas. They cant allow any reasons to support them other than not being republican.

I aint no hypocrite, william barr is supposed to be in prison for contempt of congress for ignoring a subpoena. If Garland was subpoena’d, he’s subject to the same standards.

Executive privilege is not written in law. But congress’s authority to subpoena, and hold violators in contempt, is.

Fuck that, judiciary should not legislate, especially unelected.

I dont think the constitution mentions anything about common law

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

What, your whole point is that its in the constitution right?

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Alright show me where in the constitution it is

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

your whole point is that its in the constitution right?

Yes. It is.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Oh ive learned plenty. That the constitution has nothing in it to support common law.

Shocked pikachus all around.

A reminder that this is just discretionary spending going to the highways, but the bulk of the infrastructure bill is even more highway funding. But the climate effects are offset with even more SUV sales. Let me know if yall figure out any new ways to make things even worse.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, there are

This just isnt the winning metric Bidens campaign hopes it is.

@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I got downvoted for saying id support Biden if he cured cancer. You folks are deranged.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Trump being shit doesnt mean no one else can also be shit.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah yeah, more Biden more military spending. Just what the left leaning voters want.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

All the stuff with Biden praising the military and pointing out Trumps dismissal of current military. Bidens very pro military and increases defense spending

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Good paying jobs is such a bullshit answer. Its what the coal industry keeps saying. Make different jobs that dont involve bombing brown people in other countries

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Biden is telling us hes going to, like he did this term, push for more military spending, he’s all about military and wants more of it. And the president has a huge impact on the defense budget, being the one to request the amount, especially as a democrat president that will get democrat reps voting in favor of his higher requested budgets.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I think you need to if you think he was exclusively talking about WWII veterans

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Damn i missed Putin getting bombed by US military?

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Its just gonna be shocked pikachu faces all around when he increases spending again.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

being similar to Trump is not gonna win any approval from me.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

And yet less money than Biden has

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Im out here bringing up policy specifics and metrics and substantiating why i dont approve. You come in with nothing but a broad dismissal.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I just see the connection between campaigning on supporting the military, and later increasing the defense budget.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I tell you what, im on board with bombing Putin and empowering Ukraine’s military. We can give them enough funds and enough weapons to surpass all of Russia, id rather Zelenksy have them than us. And we can drastically cut our own defense spending, and still have a larger budget than Russia and our newly funded Ukraine combined.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

sure

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

boy quite a few people have come in to engage. This is just…bonkers now, of course what politicians are planning for the future matters today. Like, Trump’s not president now, so why worry about what he might do later?

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Nah, ive brought up Biden is likely to increase defense spending and stayed pretty firmly there. Your list of comparisons all have one stark difference to what I am saying, they are all impossibly unlikely. I dont think you’ll be surprised in the future when Biden, again, raises defense spending. Just like we wont be surprised when next year is more record temperatures. Theyre both still very relevant to the present which is causing those futures.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

I offer the same solution you do. Vote for my preferred candidate.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Theyre not protecting shit, US military has exclusively invaded other countries the entirety of your life.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

You sure are confused, ive been calling out Trumps bullshit since Obamas first presidential campaign.

blazera,
@blazera@lemmy.world avatar

Do you have any idea how many MAGA flags fly over confederate flags? Its basically an inseparable pair here.

Better keep electing those two parties to fix it.
