actually insane that people were walking around looking like this

"They are trying to take affirmative steps to make life worse" really just rolls off the tongue doesn't it

The enemy from within

Part 2 of 2

In honor of the firing of Joy Reid, her interview during the 2020 primary with the "body language expert" explaining why Bernie was lying in his post debate interaction with Warren (part 1 of 2)

An interesting point

Reminds me of the Andy Warhol quote on coke

...

If Lindsey Graham says trump is right to end Birthright Citizenship by executive order on day 1, then why is he also introducing legislation, and ALSO introducing a constitutional amendment to do the same thing?

I guess he just wants to be reaallllyyyy sure.

I think I only just "got" Network after this election. The public who are "mad as hell" actually have all the power, more than those in the boardroom, but they only use it to assuage their own boredom. They are selfish, not wanting to expend effort thinking for themselves or working together.

At the time, Supreme Court Justice Harlan Stone and his wife held weekly tea parties. During a chance meeting at one of these parties, Stone whispered in Perkins' ear, “The taxing power of the Federal Government, my dear; the taxing power is sufficient for everything you want and need.” (3/4)

When FDR’s labor secretary (and first ever woman cabinet member) Francis Perkins was designing the framework of social security in 1934, she was indeed concerned that the supreme court, which was hostile to many New Deal programs, would deem it unconstitutional. (2/4) www.ssa.gov/history/tea....

In Senator Mike Lee's recent disinformation thread on social security, he complains that the government pulled a "bait and switch" when they argued to the Supreme Court in Helvering v. Davis that the program was constitutional because it was a "tax". This flips the history totally on its head. (1/4)

Number 9 is the real kicker. Are senators allowed to just lie like this
