Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Alito's argument – that counting ballots after Election Day means "the electorate’s choice does not occur on election day, and the federal election-day statutes are violated" – is some of the dumbest reasoning I have ever seen. The "choice" doesn't occur at the time of counting!

"If ballots received after election day are added to the set of ballots that dictate the election’s outcome, the electorate’s choice does not occur on
election day, and the federal election-day statutes are violated."

"A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny."

Free Talk Live says: You have every right to know what vour government is doing and they have no right to know what you are doing.

That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.

Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.

A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

The typical Trump flacks, and the man himself, are irreligious even while they pander to it. But Hegseth is actually deep into an extremist sect that's not just evangelical but a particular brand of ultra-Calvinist theocratic nationalism. That's why he goes beyond the rest and in some peculiar ways.

Trump hasn't gone to Congress for authorization to attack Iran. He hasn't explained the necessity or urgency of preemptive action by us. I'd very much like to see regime change in Iran, but Trump hasn't explained how we intend to help achieve that goal. Congress: Just say No.
