yeah if you’re getting to the point of using the executive branch to physically intimidate the judicial branch you’ve already broken the constitution fully, just throw it away and write a better one

Yes, and our current Supreme Court would rule that an amendment to strike the text of Article V would violate Article V and therefore not follow valid amendment process.

of course, in the infinite wisdom of the constitution, you’ll need to pack the Supreme Court first in order to get an Article V amendment through to allow you to abolish the Senate

which is to say, better to just write a new constitution

"not worrying about cost of living" has never been part of a middle class lifestyle, although many people who grew up in the middle class mistakenly believe it was (because their parents handled it)

the middle class has never been isolated from economic conditions, that is entirely upper class

they absolutely have this power but it's worth noting they only have this power if they also have sufficient majorities to pack the Supreme Court because they will absolutely overturn both of those reforms otherwise

you can always tell this is Murc's Law bullshit because it's never "why didn't the Dems nuke Sinema" because nuking Sinema was actually possible (but not guaranteed!) and Dem voters and party officials absolutely went out of their way to nuke her

they didn't block everything, a passing familiarity with how judicial appointments work or the bipartisan infrastructure law or the IRA or the Butch Lewis Act or the SSFA or countless other things that passed on party lines would do you well

05.08.2025 15:22 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

yes, because without Sinema and Manchin, he did not have a majority. that's how majorities work

please describe, in detail, what "the Dems nuking Manchin" would have looked like and how it would have resulted in the Dems gaining more power

the makers of Oregon Trail made another game, Africa Trail, where you simulate a bikepacking tour across Africa. to simulate haggling you would propose prices to vendors, and who would then negotiate

if you started too low, they’d just refuse to ever sell to you at all

i think about this a lot

I agree entirely, which is why the states that have legalized it (or, rather, put into motion to have it legalized) are still handling it through a funeral director's license, because ultimately we're still talking about disposing of human remains in a safe and sanitary way.

Meh, human composting is fine, you just need to regulate it. Just can't let it be done backyard-style.

Overlocking is typically only the best choice on knit/flexible fabrics, since it handles stretch much better than a flat stitch. I suspect the overlocking has more to do with American Eagle's use of elastane in their cheap denim than saving money on the finishing.

Oh I 100% believe that the "backlash" is astroturfed nonsense for this exact reason. Have not seen a single person IRL or online that has an actual, real identity associated with them that gives a shit

Again, not clear on what authority actually exists here for the governor. Feels likes the seven day pause is sort of admitting as much.
