Just restating the simple point: President lacks the constitutional authority to close a department created by Congress. Full stop. Both the creation and on-going funding of these Depts are LAWS not suggestions. This is criminal conduct. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... via @WSJ

Secretary Linda McMahon would be directed to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.”

I think it’s very very clear that the level of misogyny does not particularly lag behind the level of racism demonstrated by this administration.

It is a non-stop source of amazement how invisible misogyny remains to white men, who even now--after the highly respected Coast Guard Commandant was fired for being female & turfed out of her home with 3hrs notice--STILL write about MAGA & the purges of the federal gov as driven only by racism.

The Washington Post ed board once said Elise Stefanik was participating in the "sabotage of democracy." It said she "spread treacherous disinformation" and had "permanently stained" herself.
Now it endorses her, saying she lacks "disqualifying deficiencies."

The Washington Post just endorsed 19 Trump nominees. Here are the 5 worst.
The Post previously said these nominees “spread treacherous disinformation,” “sabotage democracy,” and "parrot false claims about fraud." Now it says they lack "disqualifying deficiencies."

Well thank you. I will read more about it. What is your view of it and of consequentialism, deontology, virtue ethics and so on. I’m not well versed in moral philosophy, to say the least.

If our system depends on an informed electorate, and the electorate is commonly uninformed, there is a problem. But it’s also a problem if ignorance, crassness, dishonesty, and wealth are considered to be a good combination in a president.

Well, how about mistreating the animals while they’re alive? Vegetarian and omnivore could agree that treat if the animal while they’re alive, and how they are killed is important. I would say, a cow grazing on a pasture all of its life has had a better life than one confined inside in a small pen.
