The Teamsters president is conflating Democratic refusal to support a blanket national right to strike with continued Republican support for union busting efforts that take away worker's rights and fund unions under the guise of an illusory "right to work," and does not actually guarantee a job or anything or the sort.

It's a tortured, strange, apples to oranges comparison so he can "both sides" the issue even though only one side is an existential threat to worker's rights and the concept of unions. It's a helluva position to take as the president of a union.

So, it turns out that the guy whose inherited fortune was earned in Apartheid- era South Africa has some pretty crazy views on race.

Who knew?

If he had more votes in the primary, then that could have been true despite the superdelegates. As it would be true for any other candidate.

But he/they didn't, and here we are moping over something that didn't happen years ago while the USSC lays the final stones in the foundation for an actual dictatorship.

Bold strategy. Let's see how that works out.

So Biden could order the army to attack the USSC? He just has to declare it officially like Michael Scott?

I joke, but it's a dark, dark day for this country and the rule of law.

The court was already packed with activist judges appointed under suspicious or hypocritical circumstances who then lied to Congress during their confirmations about their deference to precedent on a host of issues only to the engage in a massive power grab from Congress. Subsequent action to rebalance the court is not court packing.

Wake me up if you've heard this one before: A president/PM/etc. who would face massive consequences for his criminality if he were not president holds an entire country politically hostage by giving special extra rights to religious fundamentalists.

Why face consequences for behavior someone else noticed?

For anyone confused about the MAGA-ese: Failure to make payments under Bankruptcy and repo man coming for what's due = federal government repressing muh rights

It's embarrassing how, if you say the magic words, the MAGA brain shuts down and just becomes compliant with anything.
