rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 18h“desirable as a policy matter”? he’s admitting to legislating from the bench. right? the courts don’t set policy. they aren’t supposed to be thinking about policy at all. 000
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Isn’t she the one with a dick pic album of all her conquests? Part of why she was fired from Fox? Or am I thinking of some other Fox weirdo? 000

rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 06/10/2026why are they carrying guns? they ppl they seek to arrest are not violent. why are they brandishing guns? why do they upholster and point them at ppl without regard to threat level? this would get most law enforcement fired? i just keep coming back to, why do they have guns. 020
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 06/10/2026economic was specifically not included bc alfred nobel had some rivalry with an economist. he asked if the guy would win. when they said yes, nobel didn’t include economics. not sure how much is a true, but this is the story i was told to explain why no economics. 130
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 06/10/2026too distant. make police unions buy insurance to indemnify cities against law suits stemming from their members’ misconduct. the policy can be paid as part of their union dues. that’s money out of their pay checks today. 000
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 06/10/2026did T just spend a half a $billion without any appropriation? 021
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i’m sorry but this strategy is doomed to failure. it doesn’t defeat the logic of the current court, which says corporations are people with rights derived from the constitution. states cannot take those away. if corporation exist, they have rights. 020
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 05/10/2026the switch /s must be the standard online. if it’s not included, the poster meand what they said. ex. the matriarchy strikes again. /s 010
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 05/10/2026i just heard a military historian predict that if T will deploy ground troops it will be in latin america under the guise of fighting narco-trafficking connected to his fishing boat murder scheme. 000

rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 05/10/2026just make crypto illegal. it’s just used for crimes. the stable coins are the worst for money laundering, like black market activities like iran has to do bc they are back by real currency like the dollar. 074

rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026he does tho. he caught on and even wrote abt the russian info/psy op in the 2016 election. he hates social media. says it not technology, bc it makes us stupider. 010
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026each war crime should trigger a transfer of frozen russian assets to ukraine. say $10million for every apt, school, hospital, market, etc. every night that’d be like $50-100million 030
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026i was sort of referencing the ego to make him think it was his time to run. 000
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026when he’s 76? yes, that’s obviously what the nation is begging for. more old politicians. 000

rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026when do the court sanctions come? will there be any professional consequences for him? or can he keep doing this for the next 2 years? 000
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026one of the better idea i‘ve seen is to let the coast guard handle the border. like make it a rotation in the service, or in the coast guard academy. it would be a much more professional service than a bunch of meat head thugs with guns. 010
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026he’s an academic. that explains it all. he’s used to sitting down with another academic, who are generally rational and not actively hostile. 000

rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026i’m no professional negotiator, but is generally good strategy to make it clear to the counterparty that you just want to get the negotiation over. 030
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026this is why T is scared of the files. it was never the sex stuff. he knows there are a lot of violent ppl in the mix. 010
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026This is what scares T abt the Epstein files. It was never the sex stuff. He knows of murders, or maybe even participated. very violent ppl were involved In all the schemes, and they could come for him. 1101
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Fuck these arrogant assholea who think they understand the constitution better than us. We don’t think money is speech so billionaires can buy politicians. We don’t think the president is a king. We don’t think they decide a religion can be taught to our children in public schools. fuck them. 000
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Sorry to get a little poetic, but the constitution‘s meaning lives in the hearts of every American and those around the world yearning to breath free. no one, no tyrant, can take that from us. it can only be abandoned to the high priests of law to corrupt, if we decide. 100
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Oh and the constitution created all the branches of government. And every amendment has the full power of the constitution. We can change it to anything we want. it belongs to us, the living, not a bunch of slavers from two centuries ago. 100
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026No reason not to try. We would not have the civil rights act and the voting rights act unless ppl tried. You never know until you try. Now ia the time to try everything. We are the end of a republic and struggling to create a new one. what do we want? 100
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s why we need an amdt restructuring the executive branch to strip the pardon power, military power, foreign policy, trade policy and diplomacy functions from the prez. vest them in a new executive selected by congres and removable by them. Less likely to go to war if removable by 50% vote 000
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I agree. A constitutional convention will be a mistake. good thing it’s wholly unnecessary to pass one amendment making the DOJ a new independent branch, which both sides of the aisle have expressed interest in. 100
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026changing to permanent daylight saving doesn’t prevent any community, school, workplace from changing the hours of the workday according to community needs and opinion. it’s kinda a conservative concept. don’t impose a national standard when a local one works. 030
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026heard timothy snyder making this very pt yesterday. they believe in the eternal struggle for survival. it‘s right that the powerful should dominate the weak, or more crudely, “big fucks small”. so war, the quest for dominance, is the natural state of the world. they cannot conceive of anything else. 150
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026you ever think abt the reaction of school kids in a few decades (presuming we survive as a union) when they are taught abt this era? 110
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026truth is they suffer too. everyone suffers from institutional oppression. same way as whites suffer from their own racism. they would rather die than let a black america get healthcare. 001
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026or they don’t benefit from it, but it hurts their ego, their identity, their definition of their value or self-worth. 100
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 04/10/2026yes. make it a new 4th branch of govt without political appointees or a single leader. call it the anti-weaponization amdt. isn’t that what a whole R house committee was abt? weaponized DoJ. separation of powers is good. take criminal investigations/prosecutions away from the prez. 130
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Constitutional fix for the future. New branch for DoJ with standing to step in and enforce congressional mandated spending. They should probably handle security clearances and ethics laws. 180
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 03/10/2026not, a matter of gloves. they don’t have the tech yet. new ballistic missiles are on their way. 110
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 03/10/2026and ukraine has a new short range 250km ballistic missile. they’ll have a longer range one pretty soon. 000
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 03/10/2026glass houses? cuz i think there’s a pretty important bridge that russia doesn’t want targeted. 020
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 03/10/2026probably why he doesn’t care about his kids (from 3 different baby mommas). he can’t figure out how to make money off them. 130
rationalpear.bsky.social @rationalpear.bsky.social · 03/10/2026if those numb nuts are working as sellers’ agents, maybe ukraine should find some buyers’ agents. say finland. let everything go thru the Fins. Let them take some of the heat from the corrupt US regime. they can do the bulk of the negotiating and bring the ukranians in last. 030
