They’re fine with it because they think they’re actually in charge. For supposed fans of history they don’t seem to be familiar with the precedents here.

It is the most influential Republican think tank and has been since the Reagan era and is full of people who will be staffing the Trump administration.

If capital weren’t so fixated on tax cuts and fucking their workforce they would understand why this is bad for them too.

This class of elite lawyers relies on the legitimacy of the law and the supreme court so they will not allow themselves to process basic facts that would contest it. Surely I can appeal my imprisonment in the gulag

This is just you admitting you don’t care if it’s true because you want it to be true. Which is your right but no one respects that. Have a good night, maybe rethink whether politics matters to you enough to learn about it or whether its just an excuse to be weird rude to strangers.

You brought up as evidence that heritage wrote obamacare a piece saying the opposite. My being bald doesn’t change that, although you seem very fixated on my baldness. A bit self conscious about your own looks perhaps?

In those grafs the (conservative ) author is setting up the premise (that heritage wrote obamacare) he spends the rest of the piece debunking and saying is incorrect. Are you an adult?

A cool thing ugly nerds is that we know how to read. You didn’t even read the piece you googled, champ, which is a debunking of the point you raised! I appreciate you illustrating that any kind of politics can attract the kind of person whose only motivation is being shitty to other people.

I’m not going to apologize for having a disagreement with someone ten minutes ago let alone 13 years ago. It’s not a slight to disagree with someone.

Heritage opposed Obamacare tooth and nail, and “liberals are responsible for the bad things conservatives do” is just paraphrased Ben Shapiro. Have a good night.

That didn’t happen, but posts like these are always a wonderful indication of whether a poster has any actual anti fascist politics or if they are mostly trying to find a socially acceptable way to hate liberals without consciously identifying as a republican

Not only can’t official acts be the basis for a charge, they can’t be offered as EVIDENCE about another act. Say Trump asks DoJ to shoot an actor he hates. They say no. He leaves office and hires a private hit man to kill the actor. The official act of asking DoJ can’t be introduced as evidence.

This is a misdiagnosis; argentina, brazil and france have top tier national teams without domestic leagues comparable to the prem. You want your domestic league to cultivate interest to draw athletic talents to the sport, but it’s best for them to compete against the highest level they can.

I would recommend you take like 30 seconds necessary to see the difference between what you are describing and what the court did today. It would only take five really and it would have been better if you had done it beforehand. But it’s never too late.
