Between stuff like this and Kennedy's retro health care approach, we see how they'll bring down the cost of living: reduce demand by millions of people.
comment in response to post
Like Mamdani, Republicans supposedly want to reduce the cost of living, home ownership, etc. But if every Democrat who wants to do the same is a socialist, communist, you have to conclude that the only solutions Republicans support is, with Herr Kennedy's assistance, "reducing demand."

Do we really have to start chanting “We trust Tulsi.”
comment in response to post
I‘m gonna have a hard time making that “I believe Tulsi!” sign. But I went to a “Don’t fire Jeff Sessions” rally, so who knows?

I think Trump decided it would look stupid to try to redo something Obama did that he undid. So boom!

1942, so sadly no.

I largely have. Its characterizations of "the other," their origins, and the uses to which they may legally be put leaves something to be desired. As do the portions calling for complete eradication of enemies.

Didn't some toadie in Congress want to make his birthday a national holiday?

Agreed, though the "Old Testament" isn't exactly the best anti-slavery manifesto out there.

Sounds like eliminating a rival was at the heart of that.

Putting the best face on it, she assumes elected executives can just ignore term limits.

I would believe she could strangle him.

Phooey.

Like firing the cleaning lady.

I remember Tom Price and Mick Mulcaney saying this in their Himmler glasses first term. People weren’t happy. Then, they forgot.

Bible studies, election denial, “Trump the generous lover” in sex ed. What’s next?
comment in response to post
Legal? So? We frame too many debates in this country on constitutionality/unconstitutionality, absolute power: yes or no, unchecked rights: yes or no. Most of the misery in our public and private lives is caused by immoral and hurtful exercises of perfectly legal discretion.

And if you're multi-talented, throw some sand on the stage for a little soft-shoe.

Even then you're faced with the choice of filing it or using it for toilet paper.

Why can’t he shit in the box and mail it like the rest of us?

And the ear scar. Gotta have the ear scar.

I remember reading someone in law school who argued that if the specific and general deterrent effect of the death penalty saved 1.1 innocent lives for every innocent man executed, all was well. So that's out there.

It’s not a favor when you have a contract.

We could even take back any real criminals, and it would be a net gain.

The laws of physics must have some ratio of enthusiasm to bullshit.

An exciting finish. Yet totally unwatchable.
comment in response to post
Easy fix. Texas lowers the age of permissible marriage (you know they want to) and teachers marry all their students, leading to enshrinement of the constitutional right to polygamy (you know they want to).

Can anyone buy a security clearance?

He’s not gonna be the guy. Not after the DeSantis debate/debacle. Not after this stuff.

And good for our homegrown scotch producers.
