the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on corruption is basically at a point where the only thing that counts as a bribe is someone handing a public official a giant bag of money with a dollar sign on it while saying “this is a bribe” out loud

A long-standing "joke" I repeatedly heard when in automotive related public policy: In Europe, the regulations ensure vehicles are safe. In the US, the regulations ensure there is a clearly defined entity for survivors or estates of the deceased to sue.

Dear Reporters,
If you’re interviewing a theocrat who says “all our laws are based on the Ten Commandments” and you don’t immediately ask them to provide evidence and examples for that laughably stupid claim, just go ahead and quit your job.

absolutely this. republicans thrive on decline! republican policies bring economic decline which brings outmigration of young people and professionals, which strengthens the republican hold on government which brings even more conservative policies which brings greater decline, etc.

James Baldwin made a similar point about white racism: "You give me a terrifying advantage. You never had to look at me. I had to look at you. I know more about you than you know about me. Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced."

Yeah, it’s not “prying into someone’s politics” when they are literally flying flags about their politics. The Alitos have clearly been hoping someone will ask them about their very cool beliefs and, honestly, it feels rude not to ask them now.

I am once again shouting that the primary use case of ChatGPT is functionally equivalent to the late 1800s/early 1900s occult spiritualist practice of automatic writing, aka psychography. It’s an imagined-bullshit self-legitimation device. An unverified personal gnosis engine.

REPORTER: “Mr. Alito, we saw that you flew an American flag upside down in a remarkably similar fashion to Trump supporters, any comment?” ALITO: “My wife put that up.” REPORTER: “…your wife did it?” ALITO: “I’d never do something like that. My confederate flag was in the wash, so she made do.”

A big reason there is so much corruption in the US government is that the media will cover someone actually following the rules and properly disclosing a modest gift as though it is scandalous. Why bother with ethics if this is your reward?
