don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

"Thus, 'courage culture'...is the white-coded myth-based belief that vulnerability is experienced homogeneously across racial, gender, sexual, class, and ability lines."

It’s actually the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

“The customer is always right” is ACTUALLY “The customer is always right, in matters of taste.”
It originally meant one should cater to demand for a product to stay competitive BUT over time, it came to be complying w/dissatisfied customers no matter the complaint.

Blood is thicker than water. SO misquoted and abused by family members to excuse their entitlement to good treatment without earning it.
The full saying is “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”
Which means the opposite! CHOSEN bonds are stronger than genetic one’s
