I have a unique advertising idea that any Democratic super PAC is very welcome to steal:
Currently there are a variety of products people order from abroad which result in a FedEx driver knocking on your door and asking you to pay a tariff before you can receive your product.....

The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP.
That's a detail you keep.

Information environment has reached its grotesque conclusion in that there is a very real killer out there who has not been identified, apprehended, or investigated, a detail practically inconsequential to nearly every commentator’s purposes.

Seems to me that if lawsuits against unconstitutional government policies can only protect the individuals suing, then there needs to be a *lot* of lawsuits.
This is a logistical and manpower challenge, but I think it can be done in a few different ways:

You know "MAGA" is a white supremacist slogan because when a wealthy white billionaire says America isn't great they make him POTUS, but when anyone else says America can do better they tell him to leave the country

I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy.
Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

I am of the opinion that only a severe economic crisis can save American democracy.
I therefore am quite grateful to POTUS for his efforts to produce an economic catastrophy today. It is exactly what we need at this moment.

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.
It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.

Trump's use of Nazi "reich" terminology to frame his campaign isn't an accident -- it's a Trial Balloon. As usual, he's floating offensive and outrageous idea to push extreme ideas and test public reaction. More at FrameLab with @georgelakoff.bsky.social LINK: www.theframelab.org/unified-reic...
