I mean there’s no harm in using a cultural moment as a starting point to see if two people are compatible?

I think the language in the article and perhaps from the influencers is a bit rigid.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting that if a man has valid reasons for disliking the movie they are automatically exist. The idea is that the film is causing a knee jerk reaction in men who are otherwise prone to hiding their misogyny.

I didn’t get a lot of the inside jokes about the product. And the barbies and Ken’s did not unite to kill Will Ferrell.

Who caught the Malkmus reference in Barbie?

neptune ,

Spoiler alert. At the end of the movie, the Barbies hatch a plan…

They distract the Ken’s by coyly listening to their monologues on film, golf, computers and music. The Ken with a record player mentions Malkmus by name as Barbie fawns over his knowledge. Very funny.

Can’t wait to see what specific statutes, evidence and witnesses they have to cite. Pretty crazy anyone supported this psycho after Jan 6

I think part of the issue is actually reproducing the synthesis. Yes, maybe eventually they will share their sample.

There was a short period of time where Tucker Carlson was on populism and nearly socialism. It has a bit of currency with the Trump crazies. A bit.

I mean it’s pretty clear to me. The constitution says that Congress writes all laws, and nothing about the courts is noted in powers congress does not have.

Then about the Supreme Court, it says that justices shall serve during “good behavior”. Who could possibly define what that means legally besides congress?

Seems pretty clear that Congress could pass many different types of laws on SCOTUS that would be constitutional. Whether that is adding more justices, setting term limits, or creating and ethics standard.

Alito is a moron. The SC is to decide things between states and other high level topics. It’s not an untouchable organization.

Alito nor Murphy make specific references.

Murphy is correct that Congress has written laws over the decades about how SCOTUS is run, I guess without you making any sort of citation I wonder where your expertise is coming from?

What does good behavior mean if it’s so known and clear?

Have changes to the court via Congress in the past been illegal power grabs?

Besides commenting on who you think I am, you hardly added to the discussion.

While this strategy obviously understands game theory and (sort of) how he got nominated in 2016, it’s clearly not really addressing the root issue.

Yes, Trump will have more trouble if he is only facing one or two competitors. I think we can all agree on that.

But as others in this thread have already noted, 30% of Republicans LOVE him and don’t care about electability, propriety or democracy. The other 70% doesn’t really agree on what they want. Maybe they or tepid or cold on Trump, but many of them won’t vote for a black man, a woman, a Mormon RINO, or will find some fault with any other compromise candidate.

The only way some Romney pick beats Trump is if the 70% of Republicans wake up and get vocal about how Trump is ruining the party and the country, and they just need to put their tax/gun/racism/sexism/abortion fetish aside and pick some horrible Bush-type compromise candidate.

But that’s never going to happen. Having a couple idiots drop out of the race just leaves the vote 55% trump, 24% DeSantis and 21% Mitt’s pick.

I’m not so sure. 30% voted for him. But some portion of that is independents and Republicans who might prefer many options that are not a Democrat.

neptune ,

What’s the difference? It’s a democracy. There’s some level of circularity between the people who vote for a candidate and the candidate themselves.

Need to make sure a qualified contractor does the work, that the sidewalk is roped off, and that other construction on the same road isn’t happening. Pretty typical stuff.
