if it were Chapter V, it sees like practicing in bankruptcy would automatically just become cooler somehow 😭
Fox Business attempts to do a segment on spiking small business bankruptcies, but one host says "is it chapter V or 5? I don't even know" and another one gets mad about the segment itself (because even discussing rising bankruptcies looks bad for Trump)
But note the voice of reason at the end!

Apropos of nothing, a therapist once told me "You'd be astonished how many apparently ordinary people are only craving to receive ludicrous flattery. Fulsome, over-the-top compliments about their beauty, power, glamor and how much everyone loves them. Shakespeare had it 100% right in 'King Lear'."

Never, ever, ever, ever in the entire history of humanity has one human being’s ego needed to be stroked so much. It’s so fucking pathetic. And shame, shame, shame on all the ego strokers.

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

the elevation of “separation of powers” as the paramount value of the constitution is just rhetorical justification for presidential dictatorship, since that is what you have when the legislative branch cannot constrain the exercise of executive power through law.
In her dissent, Judge Pan says the emerging view of executive power by Trump and his backers in the courts "concentrates excessive power in the President and thus paves the way to autocracy." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
