If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.

Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.

is torture an official act? are war crimes? both are criminal under U.S. law. what happens to presidential command responsibility? also, if POTUS is immune from prosecution, there is no complementarity. the court has made it easier for the ICC to pursue cases ag american presidents.

I just had a thought. Did SCOTUS just implicitly overturn the Posse Comitatus Act? If there’s no consequence, then it is not a rule.

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.

on the very day the Supreme Court's conservatives said 'we know best' and put themselves in charge of complicated agency decisions one of the geniuses confused nitrous oxide and nitrogen oxide. So they had to have a do over. Not exactly an auspicious start.

In "Bell Riots," the dystopian vision of 2024 is that sanctuary districts would be designated which legally permit the unhoused to sleep outside or in derelict buildings, where food is provided and there's an office that sets people up with work. Again, this is the dystopian part of the Bell Riots.

Since Trump will now have a parole officer, he’ll likely be forbidden from associating with known felons. That will really restrict his social circle.
