Stop asking us to fund our own demise.
“Let Republicans have the literal blood of American citizens on their hands—and make that the central issue of the shutdown. Otherwise, enjoy having your health care subsidy debate in the gulags these people would happily send us all to. I hear that poll-tests great.”

This guy is such a dumb dipshit. How do you have “plenary authority” when you are using authority under power delegated by a statute (which you just cited) that contains specific conditions and limitations?? I am guessing he realized how idiotic he sounded the minute it came out of his mouth
Miller oopsie doodled and said the quiet part out loud, talking about DT aka himself having “plenary authority”:
A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations

So if a govt gets into power and solves poverty by taxing the obscene out of the wealthy - good for everyone, that country would have a super resilient economy not reliant on international trade. Because pretty much every country has enough resources, they have just been hijacked by insatiable greed

Bush’s letter feels like it came from another planet - one where political rivals were still countrymen, not enemies. The ink is only 32 years old, but the sentiment might as well be from a century ago.
