My biggest criticism of Obama's administration has always been the failure to roll back a bunch of post-9/11 nonsense and I know Guantanamo Bay is the thing that people get really mad about (and justifiably so) but this is really my Exhibit #1

We all remember Google giving up on "don't be evil", but there was another tech-bro motto that seems to have fallen by the wayside: "make something people want"

Abolish ICE first... but while we're fixing post-9/11 mistakes, might as well abolish the School Parent Traffic Jam too

Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Karl Marx: crush the rentiers first, and then we'll quibble over the rest of the details.

“do you have the temperament to go through the federal government with a holy sword and cleanse it of evil” is basically the primary characteristic we need in the 2028 nominee whoever it is may or may not be able to do enough to forestall a snapback in 2032 but another moderate definitely won’t

Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba ... Baby, we can choose, you know we ain't no amoeba (Bonnie Raitt)

So I have been curious for a while, but now really want to know.. Is this: 1. Purely a Trump megalomania project? 2. Something the military/USSS has been wanting to do, and finally sold a president on by using the "ballroom" angle? 3. Coming from the Musk/Thiel "billionaire prepper" contingent?

Diversity is America’s biggest strength.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

really putting the fasces back in fascism (it's a joke, okay. yes I am aware that is a long standing part of American iconography and why.)
