This would make a wicked time lapse photo location, though you'd probably have to use a high precision GPS to align where you put the camera every day. 4 inches per day I think the lady said in the video... Amazed it all doesn't run straight to the sea in one fell swoop. #disasters #landslide #PalosVerdes

#SteveBannon has encouraged Trump’s uncompromising & bellicose style. He has helped shape the way #Trump views #policy & #politics — even how he speaks. He has counseled #Trump to treat his political opponents as #enemies & to pursue an unforgiving approach to issues that are especially potent w/his [#racist #sexist] supporters, like #immigration.

#SteveBannon was one of the first advisers to suggest in the autumn of 2020 that #Trump should just claim victory on the night of the #election regardless of what the vote tallies showed. He said on Tues that he believes the Trump campaign & its allies are prepared for a #legal battle after Election Day this time, to an extent that they were not the last time.

Interesting history of Rancho Palos Verdes. Most of the population growth there was AFTER the landslides of 1950, based on this history. And, people sued to build NEW HOMES ON THE LANDSLIDE

Tidbits: "..On April 1, 1950, the Palos Verdes Peninsula had about 6,500 residents, and by June 1967, the number of residents had grown to approx. 54,000..."

"...The extension of Crenshaw from Crest road to Palos Verdes Drive South was never completed due to the Portuguese Bend landslide in the mid 1950’s which was triggered by road grading for the extension of Crenshaw Blvd...."

5 of today’s justices personally & significantly #benefited from the consequences of the ruling, including by accepting jobs or appointments under #Bush’s admin [add #Neil Gorsuch to the above list]. Not only have none of these #conservative jurists expressed remorse about their actions or the decision, w/ #MooreVHarper they have in fact normalized the court’s meddling so that if the opportunity arises, they can do so again.

In Aug, #SCOTUS used its #ShadowDocket to allow #Arizona, a key swing state, to require proof of citizenship w/ voter registration forms at the request of the #RNC.

But perhaps least known—& yet, most important—was #MooreVHarper, a 2023 ruling in which the court set the stage for the next #BushVGore scenario by holding that the justices themselves would have THE LAST SAY when it comes to questions over state-level #election rules & disputes.

#SCOTUS has already been a player in this #election. Last term, the justices ensured that #Trump’s attempt to steal 2020’s election could not disqualify him from the presidency, issuing a decision assuring he would appear on every ballot. The court delayed Trump’s #criminal trial over his attempted #coup, then granted him broad #immunity from criminal prosecution, preventing damaging courtroom revelations from emerging before voting.

#Trump’s #coup failed not because he & his allies lacked #power, but because President Joe #Biden’s margin of victory was big enough that some allies—including his own AG & most #Senate #Republicans—refused to use that power to illegally keep Trump in office. This year, Trump does not hold as many levers of power. But a faction of his political coalition, the #GOP-appointed 6-3 majority on #SCOTUS, controls one of the most important.
