Meh, not really. Control 51 seats in the Senate and a majority of the supreme Court and you can do pretty much whatever the fuck you want to as president. We have not yet found the boundary where a president will be held accountable under those conditions.
I don’t want to pay for the full goose right now, I just want to pay for the right to buy the goose later, at a price that’s fixed now. I’ll decide later if I actually want to buy the goose or not.
Alternatively, I’m not sure how much my goose will continue to lay in the future, I’d like to pay for insurance to guarantee me a fixed price to sell the goose later if I want to.
Different take:
In other words, Buffett specialized in finding “undervalued” issues on the market. Such opportunities arise occasionally, he says, because in the short run the stock market acts like a “voting machine” (reflecting all kinds of irrational attitudes and expectations), while functioning in the long run more like a “weighing machine” (reflecting a firm’s true value).

Either way, DJT is a shorting opportunity.
Accurate, like rural Georgia looks like the hills of Southern California.
I’m pretty confident they weren’t born before 1789, when that amendment was proposed.
Pretty good odds no amendment has been proposed and ratified in that person’s lifetime.
Not in your lifetime.

Nah, it’s more than that. Conservativism is about the in group obtaining and excercising power over the out group.
Blatant hypocrisy is just another demonstration of power. “Look at what I can do and you can’t do anything about it.”.
It makes labor more expensive because people will be less desperate for wages.
You don’t seem to understand the difference between progress and obstruction.
Yes, and conscription for defense is not the same thing as conscription for invasion and occupation.
That was a hell of a ride with a really weird destination.
In the context of discussing gag order violations, yes, he said something similar to that. I don’t remember the exact phrase he used.
And then it can be overturned!
Right! Precedent, like Roe v Wade!
Do you have a source for this? I really wanted to make some snarky posts pointing this out, but couldn’t find mention of it in the summary of changes proposed by the bill:
Being at risk of being attacked by a sexual predator is neither funny nor cute.
The right-wing has never been an advocate for protecting women, so the leap you’ve made here is rather spectacular.
Minorites are mistreated for sure. And sexual assault is just one of many excuses given for that mistreatment. Emmitt Till was falsely accused and brutally murdered. That doesn’t change the fact that women are assaulted by men even within their own ethnicity and social stratus.
I’m assuming that your point is that there ought to be a consistent and fair application of justice for perpetrators of assault, but you seem to be getting away from the point of this thread.
The conservatives agree with you and want to call for a new constitutional convention so that they have an opportunity to work in the project 2025 agenda directly into a new draft of the Constitution.
An important part of controlling state legislatures is to be able to get enough states to first call for the constitutional convention and then to control it. That’s the most effective route to ensuring that the white, Christian, business first agenda is permanently enforced
