5 things re SCOTUS:
1. If you don’t like a decision, it’s very possible you’re right and they’re wrong. It’s also possible they’re right and you’re wrong. After all, Plessy was 7-1. Sometimes the Court and the political majority are wrong. Be less sure.
See the replies. The problem with Trump supporters is it's absolutely impossible to caricature them. These are people who were screeching about corruption and who voted for Trump to drain the swamp and who then... celebrate him making $2 billion in 18 months from the WH
The CEO of the Federalist is calling for forced sterlization of foreigners and dissolution of the union because the conservative-majority Court made one ruling he can't live with. You have the WH, House, Senate, and SCOTUS and it's not enough. Totally unhinged.
Supreme Court upholds a century old interpretation of the 14th amendment. “They’ve destroyed America! There’s no saving us now! My panties shall never be unbunched again!”
Really helpless feeling about where we're at. There's a historic (by American standards) level of corruption and looting going on right now and the party that could stop it is fine with it. And since it is cult of personality his supporters cheer it!

The result is the mirror image of MAGA. It doesn't matter if candidates are qualified or what their beliefs are. All that matters is that they're on the team, backed by its leader. Anyone who questions that is slated for the next political destruction. https://t.co/jxs8ozUNIP 2/
there is a funny thing in politics in which both sides demand the other side maintain a level of sobriety that they 1.) think is fake and 2.) will not themselves maintain.
Europeans coming to America for the World Cup are shocked by our prosperity.
A German guy has his mind blown by Buc-ee’s. A Swedish woman is amazed by ranch dressing, says it's "like crack."
She claims that the internet on a plane flying over the Rockies is faster than what she has at home.
She declares “The U.S.A. has completely radicalized me within 48 hours.”
Americans can romanticize Europe all they want.
But it's good to have a higher standard of living.
And we do, thanks to freer markets and mass migration.

When Democrats act like it's unreasonable to expect the government to count votes in a day or two, how can they expect to convince voters to hand the government billions of dollars for other projects? Do we hold government to high standards or not?
America’s 250th anniversary is supposed to celebrate the rejection of kings. Putting a living president’s face on a vanity $250 bill is exactly the kind of cult nonsense the Founders despised.
People don't want to hear it, but he's right. If you confiscated Jeff Bezos' entire net worth, you could run the government for about a week. He's a convenient villain for politicians who won't admit that their expensive proposals require heavy taxes on the middle class.
