How was I not following the inestimable Kate Lister. Also, I've been using my cat for this, but your method sounds more effective.

But aren't the people to whom the order is issued, or who carry it out, obligated not to follow an illegal order, and not immune if /they/ the break the law? It's still illegal, whether or not the President can be prosecuted for it. (h/t @gregsargent.bsky.social )

Such an important point in this pod--Trump might be immune but his underlings are not; and they have a constitutional obligation to refuse an illegal order, whether or not the person issuing it can be prosecuted. Thanks Greg.

AR also leaves its juvies in your fenced garden to learn to fly, and attacks you when you foolishly think that you are also allowed in. (True story)

Yeah, I'm a baker, so it's not even so much missing baked goods as missing baking. I don't have enough of a network to give stuff away.

I bought a house next door to a preschool. They scream all day long. If there's ever an actual catastrophe I will ignore it because, as I said, toddlers at daycare scream like their arms are being ripped off all day long.

I am a non-Christian who attended grade school in the Abington district during that case and I will tell you from personal experience that non-Christian children /will/ be harassed by teachers, students, and parents if this is allowed to stand.

Hah-- yes! My knowledge of various idioms and vague Vienna accent (on top of my English accent) got me All The Passes in every German speaking place I ever went. No one /ever/ believed I wasn't a native speaker no matter how bad my grammar.

Slim has those, but considers them evidence of her hegemony over all surfaces, upon one of which they are allowed to rest. They must be knocked into the closet so she can sit by it demanding I retrieve them for her (so she can knock them in again)

"Traditional Republican Party" is the one that has a Black maid (a lovely woman! Been with us forever! The kids love her!) but is against affirmative action and a living wage, and never overtly uses bad language (think Barabara Bush using a rhyme for "bitch"). Otherwise same old same new.

I live in a ground level house just one step up from the street. It is astonishing how much crap gets tracked in. You better believe people take off their shoes before getting past the entryway.
