Got an honest question.
Why doesn’t JB ask a debate moderator, “Hold on. I’ve got a question for YOU. Why are YOU never asking this guy about f—-g little girls?” Yep. With the F bomb.
When the court decides that the 13th Amendment doesn’t actually mean you can’t, you know, * own * people, will they let Ginny Thomas purchase her husband?
March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.
The electoral problem has become, as the IRA gloated to Thatcher, that the GOP only needs to get lucky once and the Democrats need to be lucky forever.
Either they’re going to do something about the court - now, not eventually - or we will simply play iterations of this game until the GOP wins.
I want everyone to think about what Trump will do with explicit absolute immunity from prosecution and the full power of the presidency of the United States of America
those are the stakes in November, full stop
The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up.
The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.
Because our politicians are physically afraid of what the police might do to them and their families. It’s not complicated. Cops have an armed veto over our political life. We let this build up over generations, and here we are.
Excellent work by the Boston Globe *already* catching the cops lying about what happened.
But more broadly: Our liberal cities let their police depts operate as far-right violent counterprotest squads. Why?
