Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as Air Force One Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

Imagine if Biden had said people would have to tighten their belts, do without, suffer through an austere Christmas while he golfed, hawked meme coins and bragged about lavishing the Oval Office in gaudy gold. They’d all be shitting wild kittens.
