You throw Trump in jail he can't do that. He can't exercise his hold on the Republican party. It's not the kind of movement that can sustain itself. Even know there's regularly backstabbing between his lieutenants

beyond that, it wouldn't have even been an issue if he was in a jail cell when the case was brought forth. Just keep piling on charges for the everything he's been involved in and stop being so damn narrow about what you're charging him with.

Two years after sports betting was legalized in Mass., a growing share of bettors describe themselves as “problem” or “pathological” gamblers and say gambling has damaged a key relationship in their lives, according to a new survey.

I'm not entirely sure why we've "rehabilitated" gambling. Unlike porn and drug use there's never been a valid use for it. And we've known how destructive it is since the Romans. It's up there with lead and binge drinking.

Abundance is an agenda started by leftwing wonks Ezra Klein and Thompson. It nominally purports to do the same thing but their debut book on the topic involved a lot of lefty punching. And now all of their national conferences are filled with far right weirdos.

YIMBY is an acronym that stands for 'Yes in my backyard.' This is meant to contrast with NIMBY 'Not in my backyard.' The general goal of YIMBYism is to get more housing built through a variety of approaches. But they're also very pro buslines, bike lanes, mostly anything that makes urban life better

ah okay now I understand where you're coming from. I just disagree. SCOTUS goes through eras and the era it's currently in prioritizes novel arguments over internal consistency and precedence. Both those things become much harder when laws are specifically amended to cover possible objections

Every struggle in my last 2 years at the Pentagon was a version of: “Did you read the documents I sent? No? Ok. Do you have the documents at least? Ok, you don’t check your email. Well, can I put time on the calendar to compel you to read critical materials about our $200B hedge fund? Nope? Hmm.”

they clearly won't just make stuff up since they've been relying on the shadow docket to help Trump. When they actually give rulings it's tortured and incoherent and often says the administration is both right and wrong.

points to them be very bad at bullshitting. They're in the same smash and grab as DOGE was and about as feckless as those teenagers too. The only reason they've been able to get away with it is a congress that's anemic to power

Like, one of the only justifications that SCOTUS has been able to conjure up for Trump dismantling departments setup by congress is that congress never specified staffing requirements. If Congress does they have to spin some new bullshit or fold. And their reliance on the shadow docket
