"Empty haircut" is the perfect encapsulation of Newsom, and I say that as a 2-time Newsom voter.

Trump can't give himself the Medal, can he? Who am I kidding, he's the President of the United states, and I have it on good authority he can do anything he wants!

What a disgusting scene. A bunch of old white minions sitting around the table complimenting the bloated tangerine buffoon. The winner was billionaire Witkoff who went so far up the orange anus by constantly complimenting and begging for the Nobel Award to be presented to Donny. #gross

Trump's obsessive delusion of winning a Nobel Peace Prize qualifies him for a mental exam. He's worsened multiple international conflicts, fueled domestic chaos, and advanced fascism. Witkoff lavishing flattery on his Daddy Dearest is laughable. Gross.

one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

You'd probably find most people couldn't describe what Nazism was, except possibly "bad," with small minorities who either do understand it, or who think Nazis were Socialists ("It's right in the name, man!).

That just adds a pejorative term, which doesn't make the picture any clearer to the majority who wouldn't know a fascist (or "Nazi") policy if it bit them on the ass.

Pritzker is a billionaire, so he comes to the plate with 3 strikes against him. Maybe he's a unicorn; I don't know much about his backstory, but billionaires are not reliable allies- they're not affected by reality like the rest of us, so don't have skin in the game when their interests diverge.

I guess they figure that since 1977, the illiterate masses have learned to associate the jumble of lines and curves with the cracker and his barrel. Stopped there for breakfast once as it was across from the motel. Their coffee was mid, and they screwed up biscuits and gravy. Now THAT's a problem.
