Watergate was a minor offense compared to what is happening now.

Behind is the back of the Lincoln Memorial, and ahead is the Memorial bridge, with Arlington National Cemetary rising up. And on either side are these weirdly shaped 19th century statues covered in gold. Trump is like a kid with a spray can, tagging Washington with his MAGA gang signs.

I drove by them yesterday. Hideous. Absolutely pointless.

What was? Shylock is in MOV. Or are you referring to Prospero? I saw Sir Patrick in Othello, where he was the only white actor in an otherwise all black cast.

First recall him as Reilly, Ace of Spies. Very talented actor.

That's not his entire income, though. He has lots of properties in his private capacity that generate millions of income.

It's kind of a confusing headline. His approval is the lowest, not his disapproval.

I'm looking forward to it being Donald J Trump Memorial Airport.

I'm so glad that the President has Tom Cotton on his side. Those vacant bovine eyes of his just seem like a glimpse of the vacancy within.

Is he talking to Nixon's ghost in the oval office?

And the Republicans in Congress are investigating the use of the autopen by Biden . . .

This is the kind of thing that requiring that Congress review the project before it begins would identify. And it might be the reason to tear the MFer down when Trump goes away.

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 26/10/2025

Correct: unconstitutional at least as regards the members of Congress.

Former FOIA lead for several US agencies here. I did FOIA training for incoming senior staff of both parties. This was always part of the training.

An alternative would be to convert it into a visitor's center with historical displays (perhaps highlighting the fact that the White House was built by labor of enslaved people.) Make changes immediately so it can never be used as a ballroom again.

When you're as full of Sh!t as she is, this is an outraged.

It's constitutionally mandated. It would require a Constitutional amendment to change it.

Get able bodied young men off health insurance Lowers rates?? No, getting people on insurance who are less likely to use it lowers rates for everyone else. The purpose of insurance is to broaden the risk pool and spread the costs.

When did Trump come out against fraud? I thought that was his business model.

The film was shot at a slower speed than projected, but it was still fairly quick. Watching frame by frame, he grabs the vehicle with one hand and then kicks himself up as he's pulled out of frame.

I don't think so on that stunt, though he broke his neck and had other injuries in some of his other films.

Apartheid. That's what Netanyahu wants.

(note: that's Buster Keaton. How he did the stunt was that he reached out and grabbed the car as it passed, no stunt man, no special effects, just what you see.)

This is a civil suit for money damages, and I thought Giuliani is pretty much bankrupt.

Trump, Bondi, and RFK Jr are all kakistocrats.

He seemed civil in one-on-one interactions, but he stereotyped groups of people.

A Ukrainian refugee ambushed by a lunatic? Was he working for ICE?

They get people to turn informant who can be charged with lower-level crimes. What did Trump do?

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

For years, Republicans have imposed a ban on the CDC supporting studies looking at gun violence as a public health issue. They don't want any research that shows that availability of firearms is a factor in the frequency of mass shootings.

You're astoundingly dim. You can't figure out the difference between that and Bogus? Are you this boring in real life?

000

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

So as I understand it, you say that Bogus claimed that. But I never did, and I never said that I had adopted Bogus's theory. I said, and continue to maintain, that preserving slave patrols and state militias to respond to slave insurrections was a factor motivating the south's support for the 2nd.

100

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

If you work at it, maybe you can grasp my point. I never said that the Bogus theory was correct, if he said that it was the entire purpose of the 2nd. Just that it was a key concern of the enslaving states to support it. You're pretty dense not to be able to distinguish between those.

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Maybe they could try to indict the sandwich!

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

It will end with some Trump-caused disaster, economic or human. A huge economic loss, e.g. crypto bubble bursting; another pandemic caused by the HHS sec RFK jr; poorly trained Guard troops opening fire on demonstrators; ICE running amok as Trump's Gestapo?

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Lovely strawman you've erected there. Who ever claimed that Madison wrote the 2A because of Patrick Henry?

100

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

3/ One aspect of the concern was southern concern that a tyrannical Federal government could refuse to put down a slave rebellion or eliminate slave patrols. Was it the only reason for adoption of the 2nd amdt? No; I never said it was. Was it a significant motivation and concern in the south? Yes.

100

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

2/ But you haven't addressed the fact that concern about maintaining slave patrols and responding to slave insurrections was a motivation for the south, as demonstrated by Patrick Henry's statement. The concern about a standing army was based on concern about tyranny (as we see today in DC).

100

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

1/ Looking at your profile, you seem obsessed with this topic, and you have an astoundingly simplistic grasp of it. You're convinced, apparently, that the sole motivation for the 2nd amdt was opposition to a standing army (that had been included in the Constitution the states had just ratified!)

"If there's something that the person said that was false, cite the falsehood. Their affiliation isn't an argument. Seems like it's all you know how to do." "Bingo, it only took you three days to figure it out."

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

You didn't show bias, which would have required you to show that the person was distorting the facts. Similarly, you attacked a law professor's expertise in 2nd amdt because he wasn't a history professor. Ad hominem attacks are all you have.

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

"If a person cited an article by someone who worked with GOA, SAF, or the NRA...would you accept it as 100% truth?" If there's something that the person said that was false, cite the falsehood. Their affiliation isn't an argument. Seems like it's all you know how to do.

PWBuchan @pbuchan.bsky.social · 25/08/2025

That's the definition of an ad hominem argument, or should I say of the ad hominem fallacy.
