It's a 1st grader's art project if they were given "gold" medallions and gold paint instead of macaroni and glitter, and kept spreading the glue until they ran out.

This is EXACTLY why testing is good. Clear communication. I'm glad they're getting experience and working out the glitches.

Good point, worth a try! If the only thing holding the Cabinet back is they need a secret place to discuss the 25th amendment, I’m happy to clear junk off my dining room table. Just let me know.

Yes but… while his immediate replacement may be less obviously embarrassing, would the resulting administration be any less dangerous to the American experiment?

How is this not a screaming massive headline across every news site? This is insane, a virtual declaration of civil war. We fought a revolution to not be subjected to this kind of tyranny

This exchange shouldn't require any additional commentary. The blatant violation of our American ideals (in this case, justice, not the blood-lust or percieved revenge being demonstrated) should speak for itself.

I'm glad UC is fighting this absurd situation. We need to push back against people (esp. government and anyone with an abundance of power) when their entire goal is to inflict as much pain on those who are not in their percieved group.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

…so we should find other language to give “equality” a rest. And as you say, people are attracted to “selfish” policies, and “equality” isn’t personal or tangible. The hypocrisy of corporate socialism and blindly not trusting those with government power as much as private power makes my brain hurt.

Jeff Bradley @jefbradley.bsky.social · 09/04/2025
Yes. Policies need to be sold to the public via their direct impact (positive or negative) to each citizen. As much as I love equality, and it's absolutely a desired outcome of what we’re talking about, the word has taken on negative connotations with a large chunk of the country...

Jeff Bradley @jefbradley.bsky.social · 09/04/2025
Is touting “equality” a winning strategy? My impression is that a large segment of the population sees structural changes to improve equality as “socialism,” then stops. Could we talk about taxes as fulfilling personal responsibility to generate opportunity and excellence in the next generation?

Day 3 #RevPitWaiting After two years of wallowing in the loss of her mom and shutting everyone out, Alice (12) learns she time travel. Blinded by the prospect of bringing her mother back to the present, it’s easy to be dismissive and lie to her brother. Getting Mom back is all that matters, right?
