This guy’s counterargument just involves equating being gay with being a rapist. A genuine discourse dirtbag.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

In immigration court, the judge and the prosecutor both work for the executive branch, and Trump can fire the judges. Heck of a system, as @radleybalko.bsky.social explains.

Many thanks to @theunpopulist.net for reposting my piece on Stephen Miller’s Office of Remigration, which really needs more attention. This agency announces right in its name that white nationalism is the basis for US immigration policy: www.theunpopulist.net/p/stephen-mi...

Wherein I do the thing and think about Rome. In particular, why the lesser-known decades preceding the terminal crisis of the republic are salient for understanding where we are now. "If America ends up an autocracy, Trump will not be its culmination but something closer to its forerunner."

As someone who has monitored disinformation (including election-specific disinfo), this has never stopped. It really is a collective hallucination, whether for clicks or because they can't cope with the idea that Trump lost.

Diesel is at nine thousand dollars per droplet but that’s a small price to pay to actually get someone in the Oval who is UNAFRAID to call out cashiers at Target for giving religion-neutral greetings during the holidays. Based and worth it!

Those people will always be miserable because they'll never get the fascist utopia they yearn for. It's all just varying degrees of larp where they fantasise about seeing their political opponents punished. The culture war is full of the most miserable people and it's a self-inflicted mindset.

The new spambots are so heartbreaking for writers because they start off as exactly the kind of engagement we want—"Berny Belvedere is genuinely insightful about asymmetrical media accuracy standards"—but that's immediately followed by an invitation to visit oklahomatractors.biz or whatever the hell

Well, let me tell you something about ol Ted, kay? My single greatest attribute—my irresistible charm and indomitable will—see Donald Trump understood he could weaponize that against me. So in the end, that’s why I worship him. And dagnabit he sure got the better of Heidi with that meme, didn’t he?

I know the whole cuckold meme is really overdone, but there is absolutely an element of almost sexual humiliation to the way these guys behave. There are so many ways you could have answered that question without essentially thanking him for humiliating you.
