the tariffs have been great for me specifically in that I get to watch every stodgy business media publication start posting like 2017 resistlibs

At this rate, he might be giving Al Sharpton a call, too.

The USA is in fact becoming a nation - which would be a fine thing, except that the checks and balances of the Constitution were premised on it being more like the European Union than a single nation.

It’s even breached the Germanic/Scandinavian Upper Midwest. It’s sad to see how parts of rural Wisconsin have become indistinguishable from Missouri or even Texas. Unimaginable when I was a kid.

Yeah! You see confederate flags in rural areas of WASHINGTON STATE, it's insane and ludicrous

My eyes nearly popped out of my head the first time I saw a confederate flag on the back of a truck in Massachusetts

You see this in rural Canada now. It's upsetting on so many levels. Not least of which is we have our own racist past -- you don't need to appropriate one and put up a Confederate flag.

Van Hollen is, curiously, one of very few electeds acting the way the founders envisioned—using the opportunity of one of the branches overreaching to further his own career. It’s a good thing, but passing strange we don’t see more of it.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

I want to teach an honors course called “Every Regulation is Written in Blood” and just teach the young everything that had to be put in place to make the safe, clean American life they take for granted

Times leader today says 'university is not for everyone'. Except their own readers no doubt. If we actually radically cut down numbers parents would rip the country apart until the policy was reversed within 24hrs. So what's the point of raising it? Stupid stuff. www.thetimes.com/comment/the-...

I think the Trumpians likely fold when cornered for now, but the way things are going one day they simply won't, they'll just say 'okay judges, arrest us'. That will be the key moment.

All he had to do was nothing but pure fascism and he’d have probably been good for at least a year two, but he decided to set the entire world on fire instead

They would literally have him executed

You all have the benefit here of watching, in real time, an experienced savvy judge close down slowly and methodically every avenue of escape for the US government. This is an outstanding forensic exercise. They are becoming cornered. Keep watching.

Just spent day reading about the collapse of the British car industry. The lack of vision, the managerial incompetence, the strategic insularity, the complacent reliance on ‘world-class’ marques, the constant short-termism, bad labour relations. And I thought: yup, there go our universities too.

To me this is a root cause of the crisis. We've continuously failed to prosecute people who are powerful. Inevitably the law breaking just escalates. It's true of both Trump and Musk. Their shameless criminals. And it's true of many who've given them significant financial support.

A communist revolution in the US and EU today would not bring back mid-20th century manufacturing, and would treat industrial workers roughly the way Soviet communism treated farmers. State resources would be going to machine learning, green energy, drones, and biotech.
