Yep Ppl don't have to be persuaded to accept fascism. If it makes them feel good, if they aren't the outgroup suffering under it? They'll handwave literally anything associated with it, if not fully enjoy it. The only reason the Taliban is floundering now is EVERYONE is suffering, not just women.

There's one guy in this video who facilitated monthly $15 million payments to Hamas in explicit, on tape, hopes of building Gaza into a jihadist rival of the Palestinian Authority and his name rhymes with Denjamin Petanyahu.

About Trump v. Barbara: Do not give the Court and the CJ credit for reading and upholding the Constitution. It's a travesty that this is not a unanimous decision... it's also a travesty that the Court let this question percolate for a year, giving credence to a crank theory of citizenship.

Judges have long defaulted to a posture of trust toward the federal government, but under Trump that is changing, and a new set of legal possibilities is emerging.

Lol, it sure seems prosecutors mis-stated the law to the grand jury, then tried to redact GJ transcripts to conceal this from the judge, then tried to voluntarily dismiss charges to moot the issue and keep the judge out of it, and got caught and now the whole case is dismissed with prejudice. Oops.

Look if you've got a better way to run a country than "putting an illiterate octogenarian bigot on TV every few days to free associate and complain, and then everyone tries to figure out if it means we're about to start a war or not" I'd love to hear it. But the constitution says this is it.
