@OrinKerr Reading posts about how SCOTUS reform is impossible without an amendment to the Constitution would bother me less if the Exec. Branch wasn't regularly doing things the Constitution does not allow, and getting away with it. The whole system is in danger of losing support

@ThomasSayre13 You do know it was the Trump administration that proposed the creation of the FEMA program (now replaced by the SSP under the Customs and Border Patrol Budget) in 2019?

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@MithaLaw That money is from the CBP Shelter and Services grant program. It is from the CBP budget and is earmarked specifically to aid communities affected by the influx of migrants. It has not been misappropriated and could never be spent on anything else

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@Apoctoz Not true. The deception is by people like you who claim FEMA is unable to provide disaster relief because they spent their money on aiding illegal immigrants. That's not true. Not a single dollar that was spent on immigrants could have legally been spent on anything else.

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@f_drizzle @SkinnyDiva @Apoctoz Because migrants will keep coming no matter who is President. They kept coming when Trump was President & they'll keep coming no matter who is the next President. It will cost money to deal with them however we choose to deal with them.

@mehdirhasan Any change in the ticket this late in the process will doom Dems to defeat. They may be doomed already, but the appearance of panic and exclusion of voters from the decision will guarantee a Trump win.
It's a terrible idea to even discuss it in public. Dems never learn

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@NateSilver538 What amazes me in this discussion is how little talk there is about whether the Republican candidate can properly function at any hour of the day whatsoever.

@Acyn Well, Donald, I guess that's because you get the quality of defense that you ( are not going to) pay for. #trumptrial

@TheLocalGermany I look forward to right wing Twitter explaining to me how this is Joe Biden's fault.

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@NePlus4aiv @xrlq @WalshFreedom Yeah, that's exactly what they're planning. They expect the right wing ideologues on the current court to ignore the 1st amendment and 200+years of precedent .

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@NePlus4aiv @xrlq @WalshFreedom Mandating that one religious text in particular be displayed in all schools violates the Establishment clause of the 1st Amendment.
Clearly, LA legislators are hoping the current SCOTUS justices will be willing to ignore that clause to achieve their desired political outcome.

One of the most dangerous deficits the United States faces is a deficit in understanding how it is connected to societies around the world, argues @DanSHamilton. He sheds light on the ways in which America conducts commerce with other countries. https://t.co/OytmJdtHQ6

@ncginny @TomBevanRCP The problem isn't that our elections lack integrity. The problem is that a large cohort of GOP politicians lack the integrity to accept the results of those elections if they lose, and are attempting to rig the system so that they can overturn a result they don't like.

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@WalshFreedom @POTUS The border matters, but so does immigration policy overall. My issue is that the GOP wants to arm & seal the border, but has no interest in addressing the root causes of the problem. They just want to bar the door and let the problems fester in Mexico, out of sight.

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@davidfrum @TheAtlantic Even in 2024 he only means let the voters decide if they pick him. Otherwise, it's the sequel to 2020 "Insurrection2, Electric MAGA Coup"

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@CCGARP @bluestein There's exactly one reason protestors were at the Dems dinner and not at yours. The current President is a Dem.
That is it.
If Trump was in office they'd have been getting arrested at your voter suppression buffet.

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@SeanTrende I completely agree with what you're saying.
I just wish the adults in the room would try harder to both understand & then communicate to the public what is actually driving inflation. If we merely punish whoever's in office when it occurs we could be exacerbating the issue.

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@NateSilver538 It may be absurd for politicians to claim it's all puppy dogs and ice cream, but those claims are made due to the even more absurd yet widely pedaled notion that any bad economic news is directly and solely attributable to the actions of the current President.

[RemotelyHuman @SFB2009]

@daniel_271828 Legitimate shortcomings ≠ right-wing attacks in most people's minds.

I think if they believe a criticism is legitimate they don't categorize it as an attack.
