Common sense: The more Trump fights the release of the Epstein files the more likely it contains proof that he raped children.

Amazing that the “Trump healthcare plan” is the dumbest possible version of what right-libertarians were peddling in the 1990s.

I know Bessent presents himself as a Smart and Serious Person but he is an utter clown who knows next to nothing and is willing to say virtually anything in service of his cult leader.
Bessent on tariffs: "This is one of President Trump's signature policies, and traditionally the Supreme Court does not interfere with a president's signature policy."

Well, The Founders never applied the Major Questions Doctrine to a president's signature policy, did they?

Reproductive rights was one of the Biden Administration’s signature policies. And Roe v Wade had been law for almost 50 years. The Supreme Court “interfered” with it.

The Supreme Court made up the "major questions doctrine," under which the Court gets extra powers when things are a Big Deal and what's a Big Deal is up to the Justices.
Why not make up a new "signature policies" rule where a president can put things beyond the court's reach, like a franchise tag.

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1
