2A used to mean something much less threatening before the Supreme Court reinterpreted it in Heller, 2008. Two hundred years of jurisprudence got thrown out the window. No need to repeal 2A, just recognize it’s not as broad as now claimed.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

Too bad “official Venezuelan sources” are not reliable in the slightest.

He has, though he’s also falsely said that the alleged killer is on the left, when there’s zero evidence of that. Perhaps Cox isn’t up on his videogame references. B minus so far. Trump gets F though.

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.

The original meme conflates a police motorcycle parade with “love from millions”. No, it’s just proof that someone with power wants to use your death to make a point.

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

I don’t give a shit if JD Vance doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. Striking civilian boats in international waters is both unconstitutional and a war crime. The party of “law and order” clearly doesn’t care about respecting it.

Obviously. Maxwell would have no reason to include this document in her birthday book for Epstein, if she had any inkling it weren’t authentic. And who would have a motive to fake this, 20 years ago?

“Authentic” isn’t enough if what you are posting are self-adoring monomaniacal memes. I don’t really care whether Trump “authentically thinks he’s God…because he isn’t.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed. Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Since the science protests early in the regime, have there been protests specifically targeting Trump's assault on climate and health science?

The Ten Commandments actually approve slavery. English translations often obfuscate this, demanding only that you not covet your neighbor’s “servants”’ “donkey”,or anything else that “belongs to” your neighbor. But they aren’t really talking about Jeeves the butler.

I think it’s widely known, but even if it isn’t, Presidents are given “briefing books” to study before meeting another President, books in which national language is a top-line data point. Trump just thinks he’s a genius so he doesn’t need to read no f’in books.

Oh I’m sure that’s true. But he personally specifically approved and signed the agreement, all the while praising it in extravagant terms. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that his word means nothing, and that U.S. laws pander to that dishonesty.

Same thing happened to Canada, which also had a Trump-approved Free Trade Agreement from 2018. He ripped it up this year because his word means nothing. So Canada is now seeking closer ties with the EU, not the U.S.

Canada had a Free Trade Agreement with the US that Trump’s previous administration negotiated and he personally approved. When he came into office this year, he ripped it up.

I believe this is also what Hitler did throughout his career: take a big risk, and when it panned out, use the ensuing fame to solidify his power and prepare the next gamble. The Rhineland, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Blitzkrieg and Dunkirk. Amazing successes for the fuehrer! Then, invade Russia.

Canada has a sovereign right to tax anyone it chooses who is doing business in Canada. It’s not Trump’s job to tell us how to run our country.

Essentially, if your continued residence in the U.S. is formally discretionary, they force you out, independent of the discretionary factors they are supposed to be evaluating, like here: “Wounded in combat while serving in the Army, married to a US citizen, two kids who are citizens.”

It sounds great, but he hardly passes anything through Congress anyway. He relies on making Executive Orders instead. Winning Congress is an important step, but Johnson is exaggerating to save his own position.

Canada here. Trump’s decision exemplifies why we expect nothing from these negotiations. Canada has a right to tax companies which operate on its territory. Trump doesn’t get a veto. We’ll have to reorient our trade towards more reliable partners. There may be an economic price, but we don’t care.

Barrett’s false equivalency between the “imperial judiciary” and the “imperial President” was dispensed with 60 years ago by Alexander Bickel in hisbook “The Least Dangerous Branch”. Courts don’t have armies so their danger to the Republic is always less than what an imperial President will pose.

It’s not about who’s “allowed”...it’s about who can be trusted not to pull the trigger. Big difference between holding the world hostage and keeping the wolves at bay. If you can’t tell the difference...you’re not serious...you’re just here to say stupid stuff. In that case...you have succeeded.

Interesting how Trumpers saw Jan 6th violence as “fighting back” but this as “rioting and lawlessness”. And they wonder why they aren’t taken seriously.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Watch this eyewitness account. He has the video of when ICE started tear-gassing people in cars that couldn’t proceed because ICE was blocking the street. For ICE it doesn’t take much to make you their enemy.
