More than we had 100 years ago.

Incredible for this to be the top comment:

Is there any chance we can actually nail Graham for crimes?

Are you illiterate.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

The same caucus that successfully stripped out anti-trans provisions on previous bills? That overwhelmingly voted to restrict Trump's war powers? That is currently defunding DHS? I think we need to replace a lot of them including Schumer but you are literally imagining things.

His administration has also often complied with court orders! Abrego Garcia is no longer in CECOT! National Guard are not in LA/PDX/CH!

I wonder what would happen if you let paralegals act as counsel for some subset of law to provide essentially JV lawyers for lower stakes disputes?

I think there's *some* evidence of a loose Chud Internationale coordinated through social media. The French did not invent Le Wokisme.

Maybe the courts can deal with it by taking a harder line against serial pro ses?

In 2009 I was driving and Expedition and now I am beyond happy to have an EV.

CNN gas tracker: $3.41

People are not trees. They are ambulatory.

We should build more housing they can move to closer to good hospitals.

I don't want to scold them, I want them to slowly wither on the vine as their communities die of their own self inflicted wounds.

I'm so fucking tired of this jabroni cannot wait to vote his dumb ass out.

Hell its already crushing SK outside of like ~5 cities.

She more or less confirmed most of the positions though even if she preferred less controversial language.
Support Taiwan defense- yes

Self-determination as guiding principle- yes

@mikeduncan.bsky.social has opined on occasion that he doesn't believe in Great Man theory but he kind of believes in Great Idiot theory.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
