The issue at stake in 1686 was whether the king was bound by the law. How are we back here again?

From the Jack Hopkins article: Authoritarianism is a simple formula: Centralize force. Remove oversight. Punish disobedience. Democracy is the opposite: Disperse power. Increase oversight. Reward accountability.

All holidays matter

Stop calling Trump 'transactional'. Corrupt. The word is corrupt.

I am so on board with this guy. www.youtube.com/shorts/UEJoS...

People refer to a toxic office as a snake pit, but have you ever seen an actual snake pit? They're all in there huddled for warmth and getting more relaxed than you've ever been.

Look, I'm not saying the Trump assassination attempt in Pennsylvania last July was scripted, I'm not saying that was fake blood on his ear, all I'm saying is that his Secretary of Education is married to the country's biggest wrestling promoter.

I think Tarantino’s 10th movie will just be 3 hours of women’s feet shouting racial slurs at each other, intercut with people getting shot.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

In the Trump regime, pardons are for sale. Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández paid handsomely. I don't have the receipts, but who can doubt it?

On December 2, 1859, they hanged Old Brown. But his spirit goes marching on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNfv...

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

What a great headline

People will forgive stupid lyrics if the song sounds good, but if the singer sounds like a donkey, the musicians are clumsy, or the melody is one long fart, the wittiest lyrics in the world won't save it. This is why you can't simply have a wonderful Christmas time even if you didn't start the fire.

Is the parade going to be woke again this year? The last time I went it was woke

I think this answer is a good guess. An amendment, if adopted, could say anything. It could say "The rest of the Constitution is invalid. The Prez is now King." Anyway, Gödel was right. The Constitution was never perfect and by itself couldn't prevent a dictatorship. www.youtube.com/shorts/n2x7d...

Olbers' paradox IS weird. www.youtube.com/shorts/H1d3t...

Trump: "Instead of pardons, some of my more enthusiastic staffers were already drafting the paperwork to ship Gobble and Waddle straight to the Terrorist Confinement Center in El Salvador."

Paul Warburg compares the Ukraine War to the American Revolution, and guess what? Ukraine is doing better after three years of war than George Washington and the Continental Army were. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wMC...

Meiselas: If Trump was just some crappy, scummy billionaire who lived in Florida, do you think I'd give a crap? My issue is this freaking loser, this con artist, this grifter, this scammer has brought his life of scamming, bankrupting and destroying to the American people, who are now suffering.

Excellent new video from Youtube channel “Just Have a Think” explaining how African nations are trying to catch up with Pakistan to import record levels of Chinese solar PV and batteries. Excellent video. Worth watching:

Hang onto these pictures because Hegseth will have the offending sign removed as soon as he sobers up today.
