@dccommonsense Would it? This power seems inherently asymmetrical in theory & practice. The Roberts SCOTUS will, shamelessly, constrain a Dem president in *every* substantial context. They've already made Congress a third-and-a-half branch. Dem presidencies will merely pause the drift, at most.
@RyanGirdusky Therefore you have 0 clue about this court, Gorsuch, & should refrain from commenting & boost voices who easily predicted this. Refresher course on SCOTUS fascism caucus L to R: ACB (cheerleader)->Kav (enabler)->Gor (moron) -> Alito (pre-Hitlerian) -> Uncle Thomas (Full Führer)
Disappointing to see Pinker fall for such a flawed solution. Capping the number of As is just as pernicious as unearned As. The stupidity in Imposing an arbitrary distribution curve on an outcome group regardless of individual achievement should be obvious for a social scientist.
Breaking news: Harvard faculty votes to cap the number of A's awarded in course grades, a big step in combatting the grade inflation that has been dumbing down our courses, conveying the wrong message to students, and making universities a national laughingstock.
@gideonrachman Alternatively: accept all allies no matter how they come. Be clear eyed about their reliability & motives, but support to impeach Trump as he spirals the republic to ruin is going to require broad support - by definition you need 2/3 of senate, we’ll need every inch of support
@kausmickey it's astonishing that you're still willing to sacrifice the republic on the altar of your pet issue: as US cracks into cold civil war, NATO effectively destroyed, Israel takes over our foreign policy, the judicial neuters the legislative, Mickey's "ALL GOOD IF LESS BROWN PEOPLE"
@dccommonsense Time to start rolling out the all but forgotten tool in our civic arsenal - revoking the corporate charter for all of these tech giants.
I think Hegseth is a colossal moron but even I expected his Ezekiel 25:17 recitation to be a partly tongue-in-cheek knowing joke, but after watching the video, seems the dude genuinely thought it was an actual bible verse? HYSTERICAL.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
@InternLon@AltDelete74@nfergus@policy_uk Tell that to your average GOP voter who considers Obamacare communism when you stop international free commerce on US oil.
if Trump did precisely what you suggest, there will be rising costs on *everything* imported, as other countries pass along their costs
