They're probably trying to get ahead of anticipated migration from places likely to suffer due to sea level rise and extreme weather events caused by something they do not officially acknowledge.

It's not a mainstream theory, but neither was the idea that the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause means something other than that people born here are citizens unless their parents were diplomats. And yet here we are.

There is a theory that the federal government can't constitutionally own land beyond Washington DC and maybe federal buildings outside DC, and therefore the whole system of national parks, etc. is unconstitutional and those lands should be returned to the states.

What action would constitute "something" that is not "virtue signaling"? Filing a motion to censure or expel that is guaranteed to go nowhere? Punching him in the face? I honestly can't tell what meets the standard of "something".

What power do the Democrats have to expel Lee or anyone else from the Senate? You have to win elections to have that kind of power, and influencing the views of others is how one wins elections.

The impact of "have you no decency, sir" was not on Joe McCarthy's behavior. It impacted the behavior of other people towards McCarthy. We need more public questioning of wtf is wrong with these monsters to raise those questions in the mind of non-monstrous people.

It’s amazing how different the world would be if Fred Trump had unconditionally loved his children and communicated that to them.

Surely the disillusioned young men that the Democrats will spend the next 50 years chasing are lining up to clean hotel bathrooms, pick crops and reshingle roofs. They didn't think voting Trump meant they'd get hot tradwives, sandwiches on demand, and to keep playing video games 24/7, right?

The distinction you drew between white supremacy vs white nationalism was very good and something I had never seen put that way before.

Looking at the pop numbers for Santa Monica (and with usual caveats re Wikipedia), Santa Monica hasn't been a place where everyone knows each other since before Miller's great-great grandparents were born (in modern Belarus).

Every accusation is a confession. Like how they accused Biden of withholding flood relief funds to western North Carolina to punish it for voting Republican.

The party of Reagan supporting the Stasi. It’s the final scene of Animal Farm, but with people.

This "you're doing it wrong" tone/ manner policing always seems to be directed just at leftists. I've never heard anyone suggest the January 6 protests would have been more convincing if the "tourists" hadn't been carrying the Confederate flag.

People are primed to believe bullshit, especially people who think the country belongs to them.

With immigration, you also have the belief that seeking asylum or protected status is a crime and people who enter on that basis have, to paraphrase Chief Justice Taney, no rights that the government is bound to respect.

What's old is new again. It's been close to 50 years of propaganda about "young bucks buying t-bone steaks" and the "welfare queen" from the South Side of Chicago, and now every Republican basically believes there is a large population of able-bodied brown people living high on the taxpayers' dime.

I'm sure the young men who voted for Trump will line up to do roofing work all summer. They didn't just think that they were going to get hot tradwives and sandwiches on demand, right?

The mythology to which I was referring was the retconning of how popular the civil rights movement and MLK were at the time. Even now, everyone remembers "I Have A Dream", but the parts before that in the speech would likely be called woke propaganda.

Yes, but there's a mythology that this was an overwhelming movement and only a tiny revanchist minority was opposed. The support for the people doing the beatings was broader than people prefer to remember.

So he overpaid for something and later has to sell it as a substantial loss? Sounds exactly like how he's run his "company."

"No one in Congress could even read it" is a weird take from someone who thinks that AI means no one has to read anything ever again.

Will always be wild to me that Musk seemed to think he could become toxic to the liberals who are the target market for his electric cars and make it up with increased sales to people who think electric cars make your dick fall off.

Exactly. There has never been a time in US History when a group of white people threatened national security. Look it up in a Florida or Texas high school history textbook.

They sure think so. Like they think Bob Cratchit was the real villain of "A Christmas Carol" for having the gall to ask for a paid holiday on Christmas Day.

How do you figure? I’m still thinking Alito and Thomas both resign this summer so their successors can be appointed outside of a midterm year.
