As a lib I would be so owned if Trump used this to create a precedent for ignoring previous presidential pardons
Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

Lol this is gibberish. The West has a death wish and it's fighting a death cult? Aren't death cults themselves trying to die? And that's before we get to the west can't defend itself because it doesn't know what it means and it is trying to destroy it.
Remember when it was revealed that Israel's internal analysis concluded that the only way to reverse the disastrous plunge in Israel's standing was to fuel Islamophobia and portray Israel as the defender of the "West"?

The meritocratic myth in America fuses together people with skills and people with money into one class. That's what our elite universities do. If the rich can pull off this illusion, they can convince everyone that the only way you get rich is by being brilliant. But the truth is there to see.
"skin as part of brain?"
This is that great intellect people talk about?

I've also noticed this with preparedness. When I was in college, students knew basically everything, could teach the class if they wanted to. Now students have no idea, and if anything are confidently wrong.
something weird I've noticed over the past couple of years: college students used to be adults, but are now children. it's strange. I'm even seeing grad students, who used to be adults, now be children. whereas people who used to be old, like postdocs, are now normal? maybe TikTok is to blame.
