The best known solution to fascism was chambered in .30-06. Added bonus: said solution is also reasonably effective against communism.

If Trump started injecting every immigrant with bubonic plague, the Supreme Court would rule that while they take a year or two to decide if it's constitutional, the program should go forward because to not let Trump inject people with bubonic plague would do irreparable harm to the government

What makes the current dynamic unsustainable is that the rule of law, appearance of propriety, and good governance are all really important. It cannot be the case, however, that only one political party values those things over an extended period of time. There needs to be one set of rules.

Just tried it myself & the same thing happened. Google’s top result says that Mamdani wrote, “The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.” That is not what he wrote, on Twitter or anywhere else.

This is an incredibly important point. Every time I've warned of fascism or dictatorship, people have laughed and said that full-blown dictatorship has obviously not arrived. But that's often not how it arrives, fully garbed. It arrives thru steady erosion of norms that you barely notice are gone.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.

this law was not written down because it is actually what the law says under Carson. the Supreme Court has not overturned Carson but does not feel bound to rule consistently with it. right now the rule is "Carson, unless you're Trump on the shadow docket."

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.

that said, while I think having a large following means you are responsible for where you point the Eye of Sauron, it does not mean that people with a small following should be allowed to say whatever out of pocket shit they want to you and then play "I'm just a little birthday boy" if you respond

What's more, and this is going to be hard to hear: men with women partners—it happens in front of you. And your partner does not call attention to it, because she does not want you to go to jail. Yes, you'd have to prove your right to intervene, because the default is to doubt her story.

Democrats warned that Trump would spend his term inventing criminal charges against his enemies. In reality, he's only done that to a few people and has mostly focused on killing criminal investigations into his allies and letting them out of jail. Where does he go for his apology?
