DW @dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 8hI think terms are the best idea here. Either that or mandatory retirement likely requires a constitutional amendment, although there is an argument that service during “good behavior” doesn’t *HAVE* to mean lifetime service. 000
DW @dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 10hI think it is constitutionally required that they do so. I honestly believe the Parmanent Apportionment Act setting it at 435 is unconstitutional. 010

DW @dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah, it’s a much better story for a dude who always loved Trump to suddenly realize what was going on once the real concrete harms he caused with his vote start coming home to roost. The story gets nothing from him being a democrat. 0230
DW @dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026As much as I hate to defend the orange authoritarian, the full quote makes clear that me means that the Iran war is a very small price to pay to prevent Iran from nuking a city. 030

DW @dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Canada is only doing “fine” because, before they could elect a right-wing fascist of their own, our right-wing fascist started threatening their national sovereignty and their fascist’s association with ours tanked him in the polls.

DW @dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I for one would like to know why we’re still fucking talking about Lula Da Silva. His corruption was current events when I was in fucking high school in 2003. Are there no other left wing politicians in Brazil? 130

DW @dwilliamesq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Canada only figured it out when he began directly threatening them. Before then they were totally going to elect Canadian Trump. 1231
