Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" www.mediamatters.org/project-2025...
It is remarkable to me that when they ever deign to name a specific complaint that requires them to overthrow American society (ie, a “revolution”) it’s always something like faculty senates or website DEI statements or calorie counts on menus.
John Eastman gave a long interview to the pres of Claremont College explaining why his attempts to overthrow the 2020 election were perfectly legal and when finally asked why it was necessary to do that he said something like, “Well, they’re teaching kids they can be any gender they want!”
Also, I will donate $500 to the Heritage Foundation if this historian of the early Republic ever once argued for the necessity of or even mentioned “presidential immunity” before Donald Trump made it up.
This probably isn't news to you, but I'm told that a bunch of hard-core conservatives have been firmly in favor of this ever since Nixon said, "when the President does it, that means that it is not illegal", because they see the Watergate scandal as an unjustified attack on a noble President.
One of the (many) upsetting things I learned from the Trump admin was that apparently there's people who are still trying to avenge Nixon. I honestly thought one of the things we all had in common was an understanding that Tricky Dick was a cartoon villain. Like Hitler and Putin and the KKK
Weird, huh... Makes me wonder if it's actually possible to code a character as sufficiently villainous that everybody agrees whether they're bad. Was it ever possible? What about antiheros?
Maybe we can start an Adulting for Conservatives™️ Facebook group.
Q: my toilet doesn’t flush immediately!
A: did you know you can hold the handle down for couple seconds? Try that!
Q: I don’t like this book! Why is there this book?
A: did you know you aren’t required to read the book? Try that!
Indeed. A diet consisting only of McDonald’s hamburgers, too well done steaks, Diet Coke, and snorted Adderall is not helping anyone’s gold toilet do its work.
Even worse, that toilets wouldn't flush sufficiently for a while after new standards were first introduced years ago. Conservatives aren't just about clinging to petty grievances, they're about clinging to outdated petty grievances forever.
