At this point, we may as well go back to the Articles of Confederation. The feds are powerless unless the President forms a criminal conspiracy to force the states to do what he wants.

Alas, the closest I’ve had was an ‘86 Pontiac Fiero 2M6 SE in ‘97… or would it be the ‘84 Pontiac Trans Am in ‘00?

In ruling against the Biden administration, the judge also pointed to a major Supreme Court ruling last week that overturned the decades-old “Chevron Deference”

Fireworks suck! Here are some tips from cat behaviorist Mikel Delgado for keeping your cats safe and happy this 4th of July. www.instagram.com/p/C87GFSBpgyk/

1. Make sure your cats are inside. Even if they normally go out, the 4th is not a good day for them to roam. (con't)

Jesus. Automated enforcement advocates really underestimate the potential for abuse with these cameras. The amount of information they collect is staggering, as is the ability to piece it all together to meticulously track individual people.

The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Wait, “Boy Band”? The original meaning of the term is practically antithetical to the very existence of ANY punk group. The Sex Pistols are a “boy band”? LOL. ROFL. LMFAO. How old was the person who wrote that?

Okay, I was uncomfortable with antivax weirdos condemning their kids to easily avoidable, largely eradicated childhood diseases, but this is a muhfuggin’ bridge too far. Our dogs and cats did not sign up for this shit. Killing Fido to own the libs is some monstrous shit.

I mean Flynn was a legit weirdo long before he was a national grifter. Like he’d go bopping into morning briefings with staff and underlings and just spout weird shit that made everybody wonder if his clutch had slipped. People wondered if the tempo of helming JSOC targeting had broken his brain.

Mitch McConnell offers an object lesson for all the Republicans who think they can tame this tiger -- even if you do everything in your power to advance Trump's agenda and sabotage two different impeachment trials that would remove him, the Felon Messiah King will still demand your head.

The ones that are still around have doubled down on the amount of Official Trump Merch they flash, but that just makes the unevenness of its distribution more noticeable.

Found yet another site with AI-created summaries for my books; those summaries are both inaccurate and hopelessly bland. Please, folks, if you have kids of book report age, tell them from me that these summary sites are just complete bullshit. Don't trust them and don't copy their blandness.

Yeah, a lot of the guys who worked with him at some of his last DoD gigs described some wild behavior. He was apparently really good finding actual patterns when he was in charge of rolling up networks with JSOC, but sometimes that kind of personality is borderline to begin with.

(Flynn is one of those folks like Naomi Wolfe who, if you look into their whole backstory, you begin to wonder if this is a bit or if it’s some odd variety of actual late-onset schizophrenia.)

(My money is still on Burgrum. Trump wants a bootlicking cipher of a stuffed shirt, like Pence but without any possible lurking fantasies of moral rectitude. He doesn’t want an ambitious amoral MF’er with twice his resume and four times his brains like Rubio or Vance.)

the thing about all of the talk about how trump would order someone to carry out, say, flagrantly illegal acts and then pardon them after the fact is that you don’t have to pardon someone if you’ve explicitly ordered the AG to fire anyone who charges the offender with carrying out your orders
