Congress should demand a return to the Constitution in exchange for any funding. Trump won't agree, but it's like Charles I. No funding for an autocratic ruler.

Fig didn't criticize what she said, he complained about "Big Accounts"
Which is just Clout Envy
(which is dumb, fame & attention by themselves will not make you happy)

There were a bunch of early modern aristocratic republics & limited monarchies, from Venice to Poland
Liberty & peers are both Latin words
From Marx's perspective, the Capitalist Mode of Production is based on & defined by wage-labor, a system based on slave labor is opposed

Biden greatly increased TPS, humanitarian parole, etc
Let people in legally as much as he could by exec action
Quietly in an attempt to sidestep backlash, but he also got no credit

To be exact, it's a fight between porn-brained secular fascists and fundamentalist fascists who are ashamed of watching porn

It's about MTG not being afraid of Trump anymore. How do you get a bunch of anti-social types pulling together, without fear keeping them in line?
May a hundred one-person factions bloom

No, it's a "let them fight"
Better a chaos factor within the Republican coalition than ours

Word to the wise: do not fly internationally into Logan. All of the major public detainments of Legal Residents and Citizens at airports have been out of Logan.

Anyone in Boston an immigration lawyer or know one who can help this woman? Her husband is detained at Logan over a dismissed misdemeanor from 2017. He’s a legal resident of the US. She just asked for help an hour ago.

I don't think Marx would agree with you at all
They did want an aristocratic *republic*
But without civil liberties, even for some: abolitionist literature was banned, speakers & preachers were killed

Doctors will be polarized leftwards like every other college educated profession.
The downside is that non college educated voters are more numerous and moving right.

I don't agree that liberalism has been universal; the South was one party states without free speech

I mean, there used to be liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats.
And other ideologically incoherent parties

They want the angry reaction, the hate-clicks. No such thing as bad publicity. The easiest kind of attention to get is negative attention.

It's more respectable for elite conservatives. The rank and file are evangelicals but the Supreme Court are Catholics (of unusual type)

Trump has previously accused Qatar of terrorism, and they have sent money to Hamas.
His change of heart seems bribery based.

Then why were you quoting an opinion poll a second ago, if you really thought there's no elections anyway
