They don’t need to invent law and Roberts et al know it. See, the thing about being on the Supreme Court is that aside from Congress impeaching you, there is no other recourse. Your entire decision could be written as “lol no” and unless Congress decides to impeach you, there’s nothing anyone can do about the decision.
Because Trump is a narcissist. The one thing an N like him does not do is forget a slight, ever. They’re petty, and their egos are incredibly paper-thin. She made fun of him on TV, publicly, and that’s enough for him to hate her for the rest of his life.
Yup, in most parts of Europe, if you had a horse, you were pretty well off. Horses require a lot of specialized care and gear, most of which was expensive.
Shortest was actually James Madison. 5’4".
This is strategic. You’ll remember there were a lot of white supremacist orgs helping after the hurricane in NC/WV/SC, mostly to scare black and brown people away from actually finding help.

This is Trump’s admin calling you a “useless eater”. I recommend you get familiar with the term.
Crossroads of America because you have to drive through there to get somewhere decent.
Yeah, this sounds an awful lot like “oh please won’t someone take the law into their own hands.”
Depends on who you talk to. A lot of Republican talking heads seem to think the plan is elimination.
Kristi Noem literally suggested a gameshow where the winner got citizenship.
Specifically, it’s fairly obviously patterned after Mussolini, who was ALWAYS portrayed this way and is one of Trump’s “inspirations”.
Law enforcement does not have to do anything. A person could walk up to you in front of a police officer and stab you to death in full view of a crowd of people, and the cop is under no legal obligation to stop them.
No no, this is what they wanted.. They want a society where you can see some rando with a pistol, a vest and a mask and go “yes officer”, because the cruelty and fear is the point.
I switched to Tidal and love it.
Also, they specifically learned during Iraq 2 to target poor kids. Turns out it’s easy to get them to sign on if you tell them “hey, you don’t need to have finished HS, and when you get out, you’ll have your college paid for and job prospects lining up for you if you don’t wanna do college” - something a lot of these kids wouldn’t have otherwise.
While I don’t fully disagree, dishonorable discharge is already effectively a sentence to starve to death on the streets. It makes it incredibly tough to get a job in the States, if not impossible in a lot of places. With the death of a thousand cuts to the welfare system and the fact that minorities and poor whites are overwhelmingly represented in the military, your choice narrows down to “either deploy or get beaten to death by cops in 5 years.”
The worst part is they’re trying to find ways to strip naturalized citizenship. Trump was wanting to do that on his first term and didn’t have the numbers for it.
This is how Russia works too, and a lot of other dictatorships. If you buy your way in, you too can have a commissioned rank, and the respect, security, and stipend it comes with.
I’m getting the vibe that this is going to be a prelude to privatization.
It already basically IS the next Versailles. Versailles was built as a huge, ostentatious show of wealth and power over the aristocracy, so Louis XIV could show that he held all the power. By making all these fancy nobles drag their asses out to the middle of nowhere (at the time - the city effectively grew up to support the palace) and stay there for weeks or months at a time, often without proper accommodations (quite literally you would set up camp in the gardens or wherever you thought you could get away with it - if you stayed in the palace proper, you were quite high in status), you flexed serious power over them, especially when they felt they NEEDED to attend all these balls and galas and symposiums and concerts that were constantly happening there so you could stay in the King’s favor.
Any of this sounding familiar?
