At some point anyone but the most ardent supporter of the Convicted Felon is going to realize that the FedSoc 6 on SCOTUS aren't originalists.
The Constitution was written by people who didn't want a king in the US. The FedSoc 6 want one. Probably the Convicted Felon's supporters want one, too.

A few years ago, Bill Nye the science guy debated creationist Ken Ham about evolution. The last question was "what would change your mind?"
Bill Nye said "Evidence."
Ken Ham said "Nothing can possibly change my mind about this."
I think about that a lot.

ICE detain active duty U.S. Navy Sailor in full uniform—refuse to accept military ID.

“I think we have to be careful with the Nazi comparisons” people are always waiting until we are five minutes until the Holocaust and then they’re like well it’s only ethnic cleansing not a Holocaust

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Bill fucking Kristol.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).
I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.
