your complaint, they hear it, they acknowledge you're right, they fix it. It's a few days later. You wish it had been faster but it also comes with a permanent change. So it's not just a decision on this one tweet or company. It's a permanent change. I feel like that's about as good as you can do. Oh, by the way, I feel I'm remiss for not having done this sooner and there's no bad intention with…

So you're the Supreme Court and you've got to make a decision and one way will put Biden in the presidency and delegitimize your job. You're on the Supreme Court. Are you going to make a choice that would delegitimize the Supreme Court? Because that's what a Biden presidency promises to do. I mean really that's not even guessing. He's going to do a commission to study, what's he call it, reforming the court, which would include term limits maybe or packing the court, adding people. Those are two things that you can be pretty certain the sitting justices do not favor.
So do you think that the justices of the Supreme Court will ever come to a decision that would make the Supreme Court irrelevant? Is there? Now think about the fact, think about this. Think about the fact that you never had that idea. Don't you feel dumb? I did. The moment I read that tweet from Trump and I thought, oh my God, why is he the first person to think of this? Or somebody may have suggested it to him. But have you seen this on the news? Have you seen the news covering the fact that if the Supreme Court votes on it they will be voting to put themselves into irrelevancy? That's what the vote will be. And they know it. It's not just my interpretation. They would know it. They would know that a Biden-supporting vote would make the Supreme Court and maybe the republic itself irrelevant.
So for Trump to, I call it working the refs. You know, he brings up this point so the refs, the Supreme Court, it gets in their head. Because if they weren't thinking about it before, they're thinking about it now. Now I don't think there was any chance that the Supreme Court would not have had that thought. But the fact that he works the refs like this and he does it so well, he's really working the refs. Right? And you know that'll be one of the things that Trump will probably always be the best there ever was at, working the refs. But when you read the history books it's not going to say that because it's like a small skill. But he's so good at it it feels like it should be in the history books but it won't be.
Even Bill Maher is saying that the Democrats should not prep for a civil war if they lose the election. Which suggests to me that at least Bill Maher is considering a high likelihood that the Democrats will lose the election. Because you wouldn't be talking about the Democrats going into a civil war if you believe the polls, would you? Do you think Bill Maher believes the polls? Because if he did why would he even bring up the possibility of a civil war? You wouldn't because Biden's going to win according to the polls.
So I think that Bill Maher probably believes the polls as much as Michael Moore does, which is not at all. And he's advising people to forget about the civil war. And he points out something that's kind of funny that we don't have a Mason-Dixon line. That it wouldn't be a civil war where the South goes to war against the North. It would be a civil war within your own house. It would be a civil war in your neighborhood. Would everybody just start fighting with their co-workers? How would you even have a civil war? It's hard to have a civil war when you're all living among each other. That would be pretty messy.
But he's recommending no civil war. And I think that he probably represents in many ways the moderate Democrat view. And if moderate Democrats are not on board for a civil war there isn't going to be one because there aren't enough radical leftists. I feel like all you'd have to do is stop the snack truck and you can stop the riots. Just get rid of that Antifa snack truck. Just they'll get hungry.
Here's a question for you. You've heard it said that the winners are the ones who write history. Right? It's the winners who write history. But what is the history of 2020 and 2019 going to look like? And really the whole Trump presidency. What

is that history going to look like? Who gets to write that? Because I don't know if there's ever been a time in my life where we couldn't agree, even among the intellectual class, what happened. We can't agree what's happening now and what just did happen. We can't agree on any of it. So forget about the history books. How are you going to write, for example, the history of the Russia collusion h…
