So I just came home and furniture on my deck was moved to the side and our little back area was like ripped up including the garden bed and like swept and what the actual fuck. Like somebody either came into my house or got on the deck with a ladder. Either is not fucking cool

It's a particular type of Lawyer Brain, the Wine Party Lawyer Brain. If your job and/or identity is being Mr. Smarty Pants who comes up with abstractions to explain away current events as fitting some principled form only you can see, then you'll just keep making up those forms no matter what.

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.

Something I really wish people in leftist spaces would remember is that military service is one of the few viable paths of upward mobility in the US, especially if you’re in a situation where paying for college is impossible. I’m not saying that’s a good thing, but it is absolutely a reality.

If Trump were to be reelected and went on a purge of similar bloodiness per capita to the Dirty War in Pinochet's junta in Argentina, that would mean ~350,000 dead Americans.

“In its decision on Monday, the court also explicitly held that Trump’s efforts to have allies like Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Clark in the Justice Department help to overturn the election represented official acts and thus qualify for “absolute immunity.””

roberts essentially ignores the purpose of separation of powers, which was not to create entirely separate spheres of action but to prevent the emergence of unchecked authority. instead, he says, separation of powers *demands* unchecked authority.
