Good idea. Should I move the other posts to this thread?

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Reading Justice Jackson's dissent, I think what she really wanted was to allow the process to play out so that the African-American voters who challenged the original map could have that case fully resolved.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
I see that the case is being appealed to SCOTUS. Mark Joseph Stern expects they'll restore the legislature's map for this year's election in accordance with the "Purcell principle" (which says maps shouldn't be changed too close to an election) but there's a good chance that next year the...

Yeah, I think so too. But it still had to sting.

Re: Chaos in Congress
I wonder if the Democrats would have been so quick to save Johnson's Speakership if they knew he was going to be doing this.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
This is a real Truth Social post from Trump, but I don't know whether this is actually a debate Biden has agreed to. I doubt it, and it will probably be the excuse for the other debates to get cancelled.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
I was just coming to post about that. That came together fast! Has there ever been a presidential debate for the general election before either candidate was the official candidate of their party? This shows that both of them think that they can gain significant traction in debating the other one, a...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
From all accounts that I have seen, Cohen has continued to be measured and calm throughout the cross-examination so far. However, Blanche suggested at the end of the day that he had at least another full day of cross, so we'll see if he starts to get rattled. So far the cross seems to be very rambli...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Some may recall that before Trump was indicted in this case, his lawyers presented a rebuttal witness, attorney Robert Costello, who tried to get Cohen to hire him when the DoJ started investigating him. Cohen testified at some length about his interactions with Costello today, and there is some spe...

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
It was shortened, but I wouldn't say drastically.
ETA: by word count it is 2/3 as long as the original.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Self-aggrandizing too. That one of his books briefly made the New York Time best-seller list is a fact he never gets tired of mentioning. (But despite all that, I noticed during the Mueller investigation that he and Marcy Wheeler via different paths often ended up at the same place.) I've largely s...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
While I also share that opinion, I find so much that Seth Abramson says to be sensationalized nonsense that I have largely given up on seeking out the occasional wheat amongst the sea of chaff.
