This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

If you don't think America is corrupt, Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who took a bribe, was sworn in as the US Attorney General by Clarence Thomas, a SCOTUS Justice who routinely takes bribes.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Barthel Gilles, "Ruhrkampf." The Kapp Putsch of 1920 was defeated by ordinary Germans who mobilized for democracy. The lives lost in the Ruhr weren't lost for nothing; representative government survived for another twelve years, until the second year of the Great Depression.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

For the sake of a break from the direness of reality: in October, the expanded second edition of _The Book of Yōkai_ by Michael Dylan Foster and Shinonome Kijin came out. From looking at it in Barnes & Noble, I think the tanuki alone are worth the cost.

When Reagan was elected in 1980, one of my grad school professors (eminent in his field) told me that the silver lining of this cloud was that conservatives always funded research institutions. Within a year the Reaganauts had started stripping US universities for parts. And down the tube we go.

Could I ask if you're referring to a written pardon, signed by Hitler on March 21, '33, or do you mean he made his intent to pardon past Nazi crimes evident during the ceremonies and events of that extremely busy day? The usual authorities (Evans, Hett, and Shirer) don't clarify it.
