@podsaveamerica.crooked.com hi guys. Writing from the UK. Anyway, your “official acts” question : surely since POTUS oath is to protect the constitution which includes rule of law, isn’t any systematic undermining of law outside of official acts by definition ? QED

Such logic would support Johnson’s “last word” on the proroguing of Parliament. No. It is not the court’s job to second guess what parliament might say today. It is its job to reflect on what parliament has already said without fear or favour

Disagree. Parliament did decide. The court reflected its view of the relevant Parliamentary legislation. That is its role. If Parliament wishes to change its mind it is free to do so. At that point the court will amend its judgements accordingly (assuming the law is not ambiguously drafted)

@restispoliticsus.bsky.social re Trump immunity. Surely a prime responsibility of the President (and administration) is to uphold the constitution and therefore by extension the rule of law. Thus QED any act that challenges the principle of the rule of law cannot by definition be an “official act”?

And not everyone here is of the left, neither should they be. BS needs a plurality of views where participants learn to disagree agreeably. Else things get worse for the world if we can’t get social media to lose its divisive toxicity. More facts, objectivity, humility. Less ‘whataboutery’ and bile.

Wow. Big of you. Accepted and appreciated. But we surely have to learn as a community to disagree agreeably or we are part of the problem. None of us are immune - including me

Wrong. The guy/girl asked if it was a joke. They did not specify title/tag or article. I read the piece and my comment clearly referenced the article. Try to keep up with the detail with less focus on revelling in being an aggressive self righteous utopian

Hmm. My “behaviour”, “misrepresenting”. The article was about world leaders’ view of Starmer being the one stable politician of the centre left. I said nothing about my beliefs, nor did I behave badly. The article expounds a view from 3rd parties - prob accurately. Glad you are nowhere near power.

@lewisgoodall.com why do I always hear, including you, that somehow, a democratic govt is expected to be immune from war crimes ? These things are not related. Think of a quadrant matrix with axis : authoritarian > democracy, international law respect > non respect

Where is the money to come from ? Take it from the NHS ? If you believe the story that the last govt’s management of fiscal policy (+Ukraine/Covid to be fair), you recognise that money is tight. This feels like pragmatic progress. A compromise yes - that’s politics for you. It’s not utopia

It seems to me the biggest mistake has been Biden (and some EU) tying themselves in knots over a clear definition/narrative of self defence (ie kicking out an invader). Because of this, these actions look and feel like escalation when in fact that could have been avoided early on
