UNREPORTED ALERT FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES:
Bannon solicited a “girl” from Epstein. Was just reading, and someone had a girl flown over with Epstein to send to a number. That same number mentions being on Cooper360 “from the Vatican” on March 27th, 2019. Bannon was on the show “from Rome,” that night.

Look man, I want to live in a society where even if you don’t hold virtue in your heart, society is constructed in such a way that pretending you’re virtuous is coterminous with getting ahead, and demonstrating that you lack it leaves you behind. That’s better than where we are.
we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

ICE is going after people who commit fewer crimes than U.S. born citizens. They're robbing people, hurting people, using racial profiling, violating due process, hurting children, and going after American citizens while they do. This is an illegal criminal enterprise from head to toe.

without birthright citizenship in the united states, you don't have a democracy and you don't have rule of law.

revoking birthright citizenship gives fascists free rein to purge the country of literally anyone they don't like. it opens the door to atrocities and mass murder. i am not exaggerating.

if article 2 can just, by fiat, nullify a section of the constitution, and article 3 rubber stamps it and article 1 stands by and allows it, we don't have a constitution, we have the societal equivalent of an anime swordsman who just cut us in half but we haven't fallen apart yet

the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Even with just wars, Augustine says, “If anyone either endures or thinks of them without mental pain, his is a more miserable plight still, for he thinks himself happy because he has lost all human feeling.” If this is the case with just war, how much more inhuman is Megyn Kelly’s glee over this?

My zoning code would only have two rules: glass tower skyscrapers should be adjacent from stonework ornamented ones to maximize cool reflections and there should be a Jamba Juice in every airport terminal. Otherwise, build whatever you want.

for all they scream about "importing the third world" it's the most idiotic, base tribal clannishness they aspire too as well. fuck rule of law, fuck the law, fuck rules, fuck neutral institutions, fuck universalism, fuck meritocracy.
i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

I am begging you to look up the filibuster that requires 60 senate seats for all legislation, and which they literally tried to eliminate, only for Manchin and Sinema (who are no longer Democrats) to vote no. Begging you.
remember when democrats last took control of congress and did nothing

i truly do think that like 70% of cost of living discussions come down to the fact that a lot of people think "roughly 50% of Americans cannot afford the median American lifestyle" is an indictment of the economy instead of just like, math
