I mean those are both classics for a reason. What are some thoughts you have about Hamlet?

I admit I’m less familiar with the sonnets, but I’d be happy to hear your opinion if you have any favorites to recommend!

Maybe you’re more a fan of the sonnets? Do you have a favorite of those?

That said, you’re right to point out there are antisemitic tropes in Merchant of Venice, but I think it’s important to consider it in the context of Shakespeare’s time - when Marlowe was writing The Jew of Malta, he could never have written dialogue as good as Shylock’s in Act 3 Scene 3

Do you have a favorite?

What’s your favorite Shakespeare play? Mine is Merchant of Venice!

Wasn’t it obvious what would happen when the other party self-selected out of reading books?

Like, successfully impeached? Wouldn’t that require democrats to win every senate seat in 2026?

If he was being politically targeted by the FBI for arguing with Nazis? Yeah I think that would be a bad time to agree with Kash Patel, that doesn’t seem like a broken clock situation.

Again, though, the problem is mostly that there’s a corrupt nazi at the top, which makes other constitutional protections not matter as much (because he likes crimes and likes people who do crimes)

Well, consider this. If a judge says innocent (or, rather, a jury), that’s it, that’s the ballgame. In this case, though, the DOJ could change its mind later and decide to prosecute.

Third, yes, it’s still corrupt. I don’t know what to tell you, the president is a nazi.

Second, Adams was being prosecuted by federal prosecutors, so the DOJ can order them to drop charges. If one of the states was leading the charge, though, the DOJ wouldn’t be able to stop them (though the federal government has ways to pressure the states indirectly).

First of all, the DOJ is part of the executive branch, not of the courts. Separation of powers is not implicated (it would be implicated if, say, the DOJ could instruct judges how to rule, but it can’t).
