What in the actual fuck? This is not justices acting in good behavior. This makes literally less than 0 sense as any kind of standard. "If you have to disenfranchise people and cant do it without violating the law, it's ok to violate the law".

SCOTUS has given up marbury v madison.

During these times, there will be an evil ruler in Israel who will wage war and cause cities to become desolate. “The ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary… war will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.” Daniel 9:26-27 When it all happens, the Antichrist will have a buddy ruling Israel who is a ruthless war criminal and who flattens entire cities, killing thousands of innocent women, children, and others.

The Antichrist will appear to receive a “fatal wound to the head” but the whole world will be amazed he survived. “And I saw one of his heads that was wounded as if fatal, but it was healed and the world was amazed.” Revelation 13:3 In a “literal” sense this verse seems to describe surviving a gunshot to the head, but if viewed metaphorically it could be that the antichrist will be caught up in a scandal that seems like it will end his power, but that somehow he will emerge from it unexpectedly. If an American president it could perhaps speak to surviving an impeachment attempt, or emerging unscathed from some sort of legal case that everyone things will be the end of him. The verse speaks of people being amazed he survived, but also seems to indicate this event will either help him gain followers, or at the least will cause his followers to become even more devoted and energized. It seems most likely a metaphor, but if there’s ever a leader who fits this description who actually gets shot in the head and lives & comes into even more power after, I’d run for the hills. Update July 2024: This is getting a tad bit creepy considering I originally wrote this article in 2019.

There are no “good” Republicans holding federal office in this country right now. There are no “reasonable” ones. There are none who can be counted on to put country over party. None. Stop looking for things that do not exist—and stop ignoring things that do exist to make yourselves feel better.

I love Mr Mystal. He is magical with words. (Link referenced in screenshot www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... )
So I’m going to link to a piece from Ramesh Ponnuru, which I ordinarily would not do, because Ramesh is a conservative jerkface who has bent his whole career around taking away abortion rights and (as I wrote about here) loudly supported Amy Coney Barrett because he thought it would be cool if a woman did his dirty work. But his latest column accidentally makes a good point: Liberals and progressives really need to decide if they want to reform the Supreme Court or prop it up. We can’t have it both ways. Either the court is the last bastion of hope against authoritarianism and needs to be strengthened to respond to the Trump-based threats to democracy OR it is a corrupt, antidemocratic institution that is in desperate need of reform. I am in the reform camp. I think we should be using the court’s complicity with the Trump administration as another data point for why the court should be reformed and rebuilt. I’d like for more people to join me instead of constantly trying to make excuses for this decaying institution.

Perplexity agrees with chatgpt. I don't have an account so can't use the research feature.
Based on the latest assessments from political scientists and democracy experts, it is less likely that the USA is currently on track to defeat authoritarianism; in fact, the prevailing view is that the country is moving toward greater authoritarianism. A recent survey of over 500 political scientists found a strong consensus that the United States is "moving swiftly from liberal democracy toward some form of authoritarianism." The experts rated American democracy significantly lower after recent political changes, citing expanded executive power and weakened institutional checks as key concerns . Scholars argue that the threat of authoritarianism has become much more likely following recent political events. They warn that the U.S. is at greater risk of losing core democratic features such as free and fair elections and broad protection of civil liberties . Research highlights that the U.S. is exhibiting classic patterns of democratic backsliding seen in other countries that have succumbed to authoritarian rule, including attacks on the press, politicization of law enforcement, and efforts to centralize power . While some analysts note that American democracy is structurally resilient—for example, the difficulty of amending the Constitution makes a full authoritarian takeover harder—these same sources acknowledge that the current trajectory is negative, and institutional safeguards are under severe stress . There is ongoing and significant opposition to authoritarian trends, and experts emphasize the importance of civil society activism and legal resistance. However, the overall expert consensus is that the risk of authoritarianism taking hold in the U.S. is increasing, not decreasing .

In summary, while the United States has not surrendered completely – and its democratic immune system is fighting back – the evidence leans toward a nation increasingly unable to resist the pull of authoritarianism. The consolidation of executive power, partisan enabling, and normalization of repressive tactics are outpacing the defenses. Barring a dramatic turnaround, it is less likely that the U.S. is “on track to defeat” this authoritarian surge in the near term; instead, it is more likely on a path of democratic erosion that, if unchecked, could fundamentally alter America’s system of government. The warning signs are flashing, and the resolve of those resisting will be tested as never before. Only if resistance coalesces – across party lines and institutions – can the United States hope to restore its trajectory toward liberal democracy. As of mid-2025, that outcome hangs very much in the balance, with the authoritarian trend unfortunately in the ascendancy.

For a long time now, the Republicans on the Supreme Court have been trying to relitigate the 20th century and destroy all of the progress made during the Civil Rights era. But that is old news. That’s a pre-Dobbs analysis and frame. The Republicans on the court have won their battle against the 20th century and have moved on. They’re now trying to relitigate the 19th century and destroy all of the progress made during the Reconstruction era. And right now, they’re winning their second Civil War, without firing a shot.

Chatgpt - "There is no credible medical or public health evidence that removing Planned Parenthood from Medicaid helps women’s health. The claim that it does is ideological, not empirical. What supporters argue: Moral alignment: They claim it prevents public funds from indirectly supporting abortion providers. State control: States can fund clinics they believe better reflect their values. Alternative providers: They often assert (without strong evidence) that community health centers can pick up the slack. The reality: Planned Parenthood is often the only nearby provider of cancer screenings, STI testing, birth control, and prenatal care for many Medicaid recipients. Studies show that in states where Planned Parenthood was defunded, access to care declined, especially for low-income and rural women. No surge in capacity or availability from other clinics has been shown to compensate for the loss. Conclusion: Claiming this helps women’s health is a rhetorical inversion. At best, it serves ideological consistency for anti-abortion advocates. For women’s actual health outcomes, the move is harmful, not helpful."

DB: The Trump administration imposed, then partly suspended, major tariffs, including on the European Union countries. In what sense is this a paradigm shift in the neoliberal Western order—and what would a left-wing government in France do in response? JLM: Trump is a president who has admitted something really important: The free market does not work! For decades, neoliberals have been telling us that there is nothing above free and undistorted competition and free trade when it comes to organizing the collective well-being. But now their latest enfant terrible is saying that the state itself must set prices through tariffs! It’s extraordinary. The entire neoliberal ideological edifice is collapsing. In reality, of course, neoliberalism has always functioned as state intervention to organize the market and competition—but never has this intervention been so spectacular.

Absolute zero self awareness. The democratic party is already pretty right of center and the 'conservative' party. They don't need to move further right and cater to the nazis and kkk members.
Spouting that 'Dems must go further right to meet the racists, nazis, and other "centrists" where they are at'.

Title 1 – Agriculture Concerning: These are austerity-era talking points repackaged. The real target appears to be reducing social safety nets under the guise of accountability. Title 2 – Defense Concerning: Budget bloat without clear reform or control measures. This looks like a military-industrial wishlist. Title 3 – Education & Workforce Concerning: Seems to reduce public investment in higher ed, with ideological aims to curtail federal influence. Title 4 – Energy & Commerce Concerning: Guts green energy investment, weaponizes healthcare rules, and redistributes federal resources to fossil fuel interests and culture war policies. Title 5 – Financial Services Unclear without full text, but could dilute the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and oversight boards. Title 6 – Homeland Security Concerning: Continued trend of blending domestic law enforcement with militarized border policy. No immigration reform; just more boots and walls. Title 7 – Judiciary Concerning: Punitive anti-immigrant agenda. Undermines due process and targets children. Title 8 – Natural Resources Concerning: Climate arson. Actively dismantles environmental protections. Title 9 – Oversight & Gov Reform Concerning: Weakens public sector employment stability. Could be a stealth effort to enable politicized hiring/firing. Title 10 – Transportation Rescinds IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) transport/environmental funds. Title 11 – Ways & Means Concerning: • Open war on environmental policy. • Aggressive tax attacks on immigrants, education, and renewable energy. • Laughable pandering with “MAGA Accounts” and “no tax on tips.” Final Thoughs This bill is a Frankenstein monster of culture war, corporate giveaways, austerity economics, and militarized enforcement — with the thinnest veneer of populist tax relief. Much of it is regressive, punitive, or nakedly ideological.

EMDash isn't even on your keyboard! Chatgpt can not go 100 sentences without saying "That's not X <EMDASH> that's X2" and it's annoying as fuck. It causes me to recognize all sort of shit online as chatgpt instantly.
Chat gpt saying 'if you cant run the numbers, you don't have a system <EMDASH> you have a fantasy' Chatgpt saying "That's not cynicism <EMDASH> it's methodological sanity."

The Republican Party and its supporters are not interested in policy debate or democratic legitimacy. It is not interested in the rule of law or in the preservation of institutions. It is not interested in the founding principles, the Constitution of the United States, or in the preservation of the separation of powers. It’s a movement committed to holding power regardless of public will, driven by a coherent strategic vision: control the levers of government, and the levers will control the people. That is the goal. If you control the power, you will control the people. It is inherently autocratic, rejecting of the founding, and duplicitious. It cloaks itself in patriotism and the flag, but rejects both. It serves only one master, power.

In economics textbooks, you learn that the stock market is a way to channel the household savings into corporations so that they can invest. That function doesn’t exist anymore in the United States. The stock market has basically become an ATM for shareholders who are forcing companies to cough up all the profits. If you were to offer protections to these kinds of companies, they just wouldn’t invest.
