ANYWAY, my new book, Bad Law: 10 Popular Laws Ruining America, is available now.
I talked about it today on The View and it seems to have pissed off the white wing so, as usual, I'm doing something right.

"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?"
No.
"What if he..."
Still no.
"How about..."
STFU, No.
"Then why are we talking about it!?"
Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will.
I explain in @thenation

The "pro-weed" gun case is a trap for lefties. Yes, it's hypocritcal to take away guns from people who use weed, but not people who abuse alcohol. But the way to deal with that is to DECRIMINALIZE WEED, not expand gun rights.

Tomorrow night, I will be talking about SOLUTIONS to our current Supreme Court problems.
Most people aren’t gonna like my solutions… but I have ‘em. :)

In some personal news, I just subscribed to thisweekinvideogames.com/
I'm mentioning it because I think it's important to support journalism. You can sign up from free, but I had some cancelled @washingtonpost money lying around. :)
Here's my full breakdown of yesterday's voting rights case, where the Supreme Court will likely say that overrepresntation of whites in Congress is constitutionally mandated.

Taking a swipe at the white gamer bros who support the Republican party is an interesting choice.
But, while we're here, Medicaid is intened for people who CAN'T AFFORD PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE. What you do, or don't do, SHOULDN'T MATTER when it comes to getting health care.
In my newsletter, I call bulls*** on Ubisoft’s decision to cancel a game because killing Klansmen is now frowned upon in this establishment. Uhh, also the plot to bomb the Supreme Court and the vindictive stupidity of the James indictment.
But mainly freaking Ubisoft

Turns out, the MAGA Supreme Court is the one interested in converting your kids through the use of quack doctors with medically unsound practices based on no scientific evidence. "Every accusation is a confession" with them.

It's the first Monday in October which means the Supreme Court is back in session. Here's my preview of all the cruelty and evil they will visit upon us this term.

I don't think my values of "regarding people as people and treating them as such" were beyond the grasp of people living 250 years ago. Indeed, there WERE people who know that the white people here were wrong in real time. We call those people "Black people."

See, Rusty, if you read things instead of merely watching things, you'd know that IN THIS VERY ARTICLE YOU ARE COMMENTING ON... I actually *agree* with Thomas' position here. :)
Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed. But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation

🤣🤣 David "Let me finish", Elie "why?" That was gold!!!! TY! I needed that laugh this morning!!!
I think I did some good work here overall, but my guess is that most people are going to want to fast forward to the 34:30 mark to hear me and "David" from North Carolina.

TLDR: An entirely baseless lawsuit. Much like the entirely baseless decision to release a memo about her emails a week before an election.
