I entered it this morning, knowing that it would be rejected, but also knowing I would have one more (good) reason to be certain my simmering irritation with the editor was meet, right and salutary.

Not that it’s any of my matter, and there’s nothing wrong with your dislike, and no judgement, but out of curiosity is it gooners, edgers, Chris or talking about it that leaves a bad taste (as it were).

How about a statement from a former White House physician with delerium tremens, a running nose, a a jittery demeanor and a House lapel pin? Would that convince you?

Aren’t you the yellow rag that didn’t even fact check an opinion writer claiming he didn’t vote and then stealth edited the headline? Is that you?

Being lazy, I have yet to cancel the subscription, though have recently realized I haven’t gone to them for news nor opinion in months. I’m filling those roles elsewhere. Perhaps it’s time.

The NYT changed the headline because this mother fucker votes. Which the least amount of due diligence on the public voter roles would have shown.

Honest question to Mr. Nichols. You have a unique vantage point given your conservative history and refusal to abandon those principles just to maintain the label. In you view, has the NYT taken a turn to the right? Is this perception just a lefty mirage, or do you see an editorial POV shift?

All kidding aside, this is the correct framing expressed in a visceral way. This should be worked into an ad and used in a high rotation.

Love your sharing of research and history, but at times, it makes me think the arc of the moral universe isn’t bending towards anything. It’s just vibrating back and forth like a cartoon character that ran into a road sign.

The Rightwads bestowed these powers on the Presidency because they are 1000% sure Democratic holder of the office would ever use them. It is another Rm ratchet on the system. Will only accrue power in one direction. Rightward.

This post seems dangerously close to trying to inform the electorate through a deep knowledge of historical precedent. Duly noted. Duly reported.

(Almost?) Almost like it’s theoretically possible but never happened or almost like it’s a 5% chance of happened? If the latter, seems important enough to try, if for no other reason than to make the Rightwads act Rightwaddish one more time in public.

They know the tide of sentiment is against them. It’s this cycle or never and they know it. They will fight hard and dirty and quite literally to the death. IMO, we’re at 50/50 odds at best. Buckle up. Gird your loins. Fight back like your future depends on it.

People significantly underestimate the degree to which the American constitution is now being defined by Nixon/Reagan/Bush government lawyers who disliked having to be responsive to a Democratic-controlled Congress.

Unitary executive theory is an example:

Conservatives debase everything. Their youth pastors and money grubbers debase religion. Their self-serving politicians debase public service and their originalitist autocrat fluffers have debased the constitution. Bloodletting is not beyond them, they enjoy it.

Yes. And. Those pretending its law have spent decades spewing sanctimonious, self aggrandizing, holier-than-thou pomposities about principles, original intent, values, and character. It ignites a white rage in me. Hopefully in others as well, because I will come back from death to vote this fall.

Biden brazenly flaunted the Hatch Act in a meta game of “Fuck-you-and-the-horse-you-rode-in-on-while-I-count-the-seconds-until-you-get-in-a-lather-over-my-breaking-of-the-Hatch-Act.”

I agree, though I think a few more specific examples of what he could now do, were he a lesser man, would have gotten more people (who dearly need to) to pay attention.

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.
