I 100% support removing Presidents from office over high crimes and misdemeanors. It is called accountability.
My favorite response is “oh how are you gonna feel when it’s your president? We’ll see then.“
I wish every president got impeached and removed. I’d throw a fucking party every time it happened.

The popular idea is that removing a president to replace him with a non-criminal president from his party, and usually elected on his ticket, is a coup.
Do governors/mayors get replaced by number 2s all the time? Yes. There's poli sci work on this, the power of the presidency blinds people.

Just don’t touch AI.
I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

It isn’t leverage if you discourage American companies from importing products we need here.
And in the zero-sum game of American business, if a company can make money by raising prices on goods and having customers pay the increased import costs, they’ll do it.

KERNEN: What you hear is tariffs are a tax on US companies, and when you tax something you get less of it. How do you dispute that?
NAVARRO: As soon as you add that third party -- foreign countries -- it becomes not a tax but a form of leverage and a beautiful thing

Burgum: "The wind energy only works when the wind is blowing. And at times when we've needed it the most along the east coast during the coldest days and hottest days, we've had 2% of the entire grid being powered by wind. You still need all the rest of the power."

I don’t know enough and don’t have all the numbers - I was on my parents’ insurance in 2010 - but hasn’t the ACA been modified from its original design? SCOTUS removed the individual mandate, for example?

LANKFORD: In 2010, before Obamacare kicked in, the normal healthcare premium was $215.

Yes, it’s illegal. Like changing it to Department of War, like ten thousand other things. Part of the Trump strategy is to break the law and convey “the rule of law is weak and feminine and laughable and should be overridden by Our Guy.” Trump is fundamentally anti-law.
