would establishing a sovereign wealth fund to which some federal revenue streams will be diverted require an act of Congress?

“we’re gonna annex Greenland and Canada is gonna pay for it.”

could be a niche small business.

you could get it very professionally done, to distinguish it from mere vandalism.

if you don’t want to be shunned for your cybertruck, just write FUCK ELON in maximal block letters on its rump hood and gigantic backside.

Oh, I don’t think it’s any great quantity. I’m no fan of human sacrifice. But while we’re here, we’re destabilizing, we’re here to destabilize this equilibrium. And history in general is not quiescent.

we’re not dead yet.

sure, but politics reshapes people. it does not “meet them where they are”. almost none of them started anywhere near this current version of Trump.

“Slotkin—like so many in her party lately—failed to convey any sense of real urgency or alarm. Her speech could have been given in Trump’s first term, perhaps in 2017 or 2018, but we are no longer in that moment.”

these proud real Americans are busy undermining core defense capabilities in other spheres (i mean, the air force doesn’t need weather forecasts, right?), so why not compromise military communications to fire-spectrum to friendly oligarchs?

fascists are learning that women are unreliable appointees to the Supreme Court even if they have an impeccable pedigree from a Federalist Society whose core intent is to prevent deprogramming. hls.harvard.edu/bibliography...

it is. but there’s only so much to be gained by being widely read next to confirmed alien sightings in Weekly World News, besides the ill done by providing some of the very best work betwixt which the vile propaganda the site’s owner means to spread is laundered.

“popularists” describe the median voter as a kind of idiot whose prejudices must be catered to. real voters are not that, are capable of detecting the condescension in the strategy, and flee those motherfuckers every chance they can.

“economists” falsely presume a quantitative resource constraint rather than undesirable patterns of deployment and remuneration. under poor deployment and inequitable remuneration, greater public share can be welfare increasing, even when much must be spent on unconsumable war preparedness.

denialists are predictably popular, until they aren’t.
