his method of speech is to always say some variation of "I'm the best, they're the worst". truth has nothing to do with it

those in corporations can already donate money politically, under campaign finance restrictions if they are citizens, so by granting "corporations" the right to donate money without limit we create an absurd situation where the poor and middle classes have restrictions, but the wealthy do not.

With a 2 party system, wouldnt it make tye most sense to have an equal number of Justices? half appointed from each party, with ties meaning that they can't come to a decision and thus the lower court's ruling would stand?

didn't we have a stable debt to GDP ratio (around 40%) between 1960 and 1980?

for the rich, the only thing in all of life they ever have to complain about is taxes, so all their whinning has only one place to go and grows vastly out of proportion.. "waa waa boo hoo taxes are the only bad thing. Also I live in California and take all my non-yacht vacations in France.."

we had a more or less stable debt to GDP ratio of 40% in between 1960 and 1980... I wonder what the top tax rates were during that span?

Taiwan is the probable origin of the Polynesian peoples and languages family, so the CCP likely wants it to expand the 1 China policy. (see Arunachal Pradesh)

Drugs have a demand built into the human brain. Will a constant and unchangeable demand, and reduction in supply will increase price will increase production. Sisyphus has been laughing for 50 years. Real success in the war on drugs would be marked by price spikes in glue and paint...

he's dumb, or he just wants this outcome and is putting verbiage behind it that 4 other judges would be able to feign concurrence. In a 2 party system, a Supreme Court that is equal numbers of justices from each party is the only logical structure.

Jackson Marsten @jacksonmarsten.bsky.social · 29/06/2026
The 2 party system has melted down, and requires structural reform (i.e. constitutional). We must constitutionalize the parties, but can start by thinking about how do do a 2 party system intentionally.

Jackson Marsten @jacksonmarsten.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
I think we have to constitutionalize the parties. if we are to do a 2 party system, it should be done intentionally, because right now checks and balances have been short circuited

It doesn't make sense to be pedantic about the proper use of "less" and "fewer" when we can't also be pedantic about the proper use of "more" and "manyer"

I mean, if we want to do a 2 party system rationally, the Supreme Court should always be even numbers of judges from both parties. a tie would mean the lower court's ruling stands..
