Coming around to the “we need to bring back shame” argument

Honestly good job kids with the 6-7. I didn't think modern times would have anything like the "satanic messages in backwards music" bullshit we grew up with but you guys have angered and confused the adults to such an extent that there's like a whole 6-7 media beat now. Respect

Even the most tepid and cautious (and you shouldn't be either) version of what we know about Trump/Epstein, if you think it's something that really merits attacking Trump at all, by necessity implies he must be removed from office. You can't shy away from saying that without seeming disingenuous.

6 weeks ago, it was close to 80 degrees and we were playing in the water.

The voting machines weren't hacked and the vote counts weren't fabricated in 2024 for all the same reasons it didn't happen in 2020, either. Most charitably, those pushing that stuff are gullible and ill-informed. There's a real constitutional omni-crisis going on without making stuff up.

This is like a Keaton Patti "I asked a bot" bit.

This country is allowed to have tariffs. You just have to convince Congress that they're a good idea. The President can hold tariff powers instead of Congress, if you can convince voters to amend the Constitution. If you can't convince anyone of anything, rethink your ideas.

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

WOW. Remember this May video of a US citizen wrestled to the ground by ICE agents and detained for an hour despite having a valid REAL ID? It gets worse. Two weeks later, ICE did it AGAIN — handcuffed him and detained him for 20 minutes despite his REAL ID. Now the Institute for Justice is suing.

If age adjusted mortality rates are within a few % of the 2019 levels after: 😍marked ⬇️ in opioid deaths ☠️ "falling by the wayside" in 2020-2022 ✌️5 years of : ✔️ advances in cancer immunotherapy 🫀 the #flozination revolution ➡️ the march of Ozempic/GLP1RA what is causing the excess deaths⁉️

Deprofessionalizing federal law enforcement may have had some unforeseen consequences.

Information environment has reached its grotesque conclusion in that there is a very real killer out there who has not been identified, apprehended, or investigated, a detail practically inconsequential to nearly every commentator’s purposes.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

My kids are off to school this week! Saying goodbye to a summer of sunshine - and screen time

Impoundment is wildly unconstitutional, as even Scalia & Rehnquist long confirmed. When Nixon claimed full impoundment powers in 1973, SCOTUS shot him down 9-0, and Congress passed a statutory ban on top of the constitutional ban.

Court rules bank heist illegal, but allows robbers to keep cash for now.

Made the mistake of stepping outdoors without wearing a N95. #ragweed

100% this. The whole notion that the Constitution itself grants the president some inherent removal power Congress can't limit by law is completely without textual basis and a huge part of how we got the unchecked, anti-constitutional, imperial presidency.

DOGE as in, make an extraordinary claim in a meme without any supporting data? Big if true though. #MILEG

Lol , we are doing this again!?

Okay. If you attempt to talk with the doctor without first going through me,it violates the law. Please be careful.

I’m very amused by MAGA suddenly horrified by air quality and the long term effects of wildfire smoke. Maybe they should stop living in fear? Wildfire smoke is natural with a 99.99% survival rate.

What do YIMBY's think about people literally sitting by an 8-lane highway to watch traffic during summer evenings?

I bet you some days Trump himself can't believe he managed to get away with J6 and not only were there no consequences but he was literally invited back in to the White House. I would feel invincible too.

Poison Air Summer! 🫲😊🫱

We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

thehill.com/business/543... If you're keeping a tally of impeachable offenses, firing a nonpartisan public servant for reporting data unfavorable to the President (while the President actively tanks the economy) should be added to the list. #impeach

The economy is so good that I'm firing the BLS Commissioner for reporting numbers so grim I refuse to believe them, and also demanding the Fed cut rates typically seen during a recession.

My last source of COVID information I used to "CaLcUlAtE tHe RiSk" was discontinued last month. We'll see if it's still available via FOIA.

The most common question I get on here is: If tariffs are so bad, why do other countries use them? The answer: They basically don't. Most of our trading partners have almost no tariffs, and the few they have are in politically powerful sectors.

“CONFUSION”

This is literally "Your papers, please." It's Stasi shit. That's what Homan is declaring, here. Anyone who "looks foreign" is subject to detainment and harassment. Fail to persuade ICE thugs of your citizenship, and you risk arrest. And we've all seen video of what happens if you try to turn away.

@sarahjhunter.bsky.social hi

Opinion | No one should interpret my votes for Trump's bills, judges, and military powers as support for those things.

Guess what. It's not the vaccine driving excess deaths, but those of us with at least a shred of intelligence already knew that. www.actuaries.asn.au/research-ana...

They actually did it.

Republicans control the govt. They can bypass Congressional rules, and they can spin the cost. But the deficit still soars, interest costs still leap, and economic growth still weakens. As Biden learned, you can't spin economic reality. (/F)
