Regardless of what the SCOTUS says or fails to say, Trump is not merely unqualified for the Presidency but disqualified for it. He's an insurrectionist who attacked the country and its institutions.
I can't make that stick legally because our institutions are broken, but I still know that it's true, and I don't have to pretend it isn't.

I’ve been thinking about the asymmetrical information ecosystem, and how R's don’t just dominate — Democrats don’t even compete.
