Unitary executive for me; major questions for thee
Does anyone actually believe in unitary executive theory? Anyone at all? Because every judge, lawyer, or commentator I’ve seen advocate for unitary executive theory has a long record of asserting it when they agree with the president and dropping it otherwise.
Unitary executive theory is not wearing well, to say the least. Soon the judges and legal scholars who hatched it (based mostly on some tiny bits and pieces of constitutional text and a tendentious historical account) are going to be lepers. And they are going to richly deserve it.
Actually only about 50% sure Trump doesn’t think this involves bombing the Senate.
Oh, so now everyone suddenly likes Trump going nuclear. Where were you yesterday?
Trump: “…BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD “CRAZY,” THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE “NUCLEAR OPTION,” GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The many monarchs of Europe, the slaver's Confederacy, the Kaiser, the Nazis, the Italian fascists, Imperial Japan and many more all assumed that because liberals value peace and human life, that they were weak and feckless and easily beaten.

Go look for them now.
I think fundamentally the problem with post liberal thinkers is that they seem to assume that vanquishing liberalism results in their enemies being converted or defeated and not becoming radicalized into enemies who no longer extend the mercies they once did.

Old frog shouts at scorpion
The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

I think we are actually going to get him formally removed from the succession by act of (multiple) parliaments. this would have been such exciting news in 1720
LONDON (AP) — Buckingham Palace says King Charles III will strip Prince Andrew of remaining titles and evict him from royal residence.
Luckily, my most embarrassing phases consist of voting for Democrats I wouldn’t vote for now.
people talking about their "nazi phase" is so weird to me because i've been a normie lib all my life outside of when i had like a six month phase in 2014 where i entertained antiwoke libertarian ideas because of youtube and then halfway through a video i was like "wait this is all stupid as shit"
Tired: If you told someone in 2015 about the news, they would think you are crazy.

Wired: If you told an LLM in 2025 about the news, it would think you are another hallucinating human.

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

“Israel is a refuge for all Jews”

Unless they try to help Palestinians who are being attacked by fascist settlers during their olive harvest, then apparently it’s deportation time.

This is an escalation in the state’s effort to redefine “Jewish” in a supremacist way.

This has been tried multiple times and failed. I don’t know what to do about it but Democrats just aren’t interested in consuming media in the way Republicans are and it is a disadvantage.
the solution is probably to develop dem aligned media given that this is not applied even remotely evenly to GOP.

to everyone considering adopting baseball, welcome, it’s a great sport, you’re going to have a wonderful time

an important PSA: do not look up the politics of any baseball player, because they are - with rare exceptions - horrendous
fuck it I might actually get into baseball

dem problem is often just that politicians will say one thing (“no one will touch your guns”) but dem-aligned media will print “wouldn’t it be nice if we got all of them out of circulation” and dems on social media “yeah boi take them all away!”
Are you kidding me, Blue Jays?

Arguing that robot servants are morally wrong is like arguing washing machines are The New Jim Crow because they automate the jobs of laundresses without being paid a living wage.
“you just want a robot servant so you can have a slave” ok see the bad part about slavery was the whole extreme violence against human beings for involuntary servitude thing. it wasn’t that like not doing your own dishes was inherently sinful.

My apologies to Congressional Democrats for understating you.
Everyone who claimed Dems would cave to prevent a shutdown OR that they’d cave shortly after that to keep the shutdown brief OR that they were stupid to make the ACA tax credits the flagship issue can apologize any minute now.

This is something you do if you're really, really desperate to ply his ego and get him to do something, or to NOT do something.

We've heard he and Xi intend to talk about Taiwan. I imagine this is an attempt to make him more sympathetic to South Korea's interest in an independent Taiwan.
