@VibeCobra@JohnLeFevre I agree with your perspective on civil discourse - completely. Too much of that's been lost as people (myself included) hide behind icons, etc. and vent (which I try to avoid) with personal attacks (which I'm sure I've launched, but generally don't like / use).
@VibeCobra@JohnLeFevre Because his opinion, and opinions from those like him, tend to shape policy. And they're invariably wrong, but never in doubt. They have deep distrust of private enterprise and private enterprise motives.
@SCDUCKS@AndrewKolvet Wilson was the beginning of the end...
A parade of horribles away from a constitutional Republic
Then Hoover, FDR (the worst), LBJ, and Obama
The others were just along for the ride
Some voices are bigger than any rivalry.
As a Red Sox fan, it feels strange to say this, but I'm hoping for a Yankees victory tonight. Let's get one more "Theeee Yankees Win!" in honor of John Sterling 🎙️⚾️
James Madison described the powers of the federal government as “few and defined” and those reserved to the states as “numerous and indefinite.”
We’ve been dangerously drifting from that understanding since the 1930s.
The drift has been most evident in areas now most fraught with waste, fraud, and abuse.
If we honored the Constitution’s limits on federal power, there’d be very little waste, fraud, and abuse in our national government.
Share if you’d like to see a “constitutional reset,” in which any government function that’s not obviously and necessarily federal under the Constitution would be returned “to the states respectively, or to the people,” as the Tenth Amendment specifies.
@AshtonForbes@JKash000@CarlReed_on_X I’ve asked before but still don’t really understand….
Talk to me like I’m a 5 year old…what happened to the plane?
If it went into a wormhole is there any sense of where or when it ended up?

“SAY IT LOUD, SAY IT CLEAR: WE SUPPORT HAMAS HERE!”
Scenes from the Harlem to Gaza protest today as demonstrators (including Columbia and CUNY students) openly chant support for Hamas while issuing demands to Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
