I put on a video of dogs herding sheep, hoping the Beagle boy and the heeler would enjoy it. They ignored it, but this guy couldn't look away.

Why the Catholic Church Condemned Jan. 6

What is the Roberts Court? Not originalist. Not textual. Not true to precedent.

Then what?

By process of elimination, Catholic Integralism is the only legal theory that explains the Leonard Leo Roberts court.

The Leonard Leo six. This is the definition of Catholic Integralism.

From Carl Schmitt, Vichy, France, Franco, Spain - thru the Inquisition to Aquinas.

This could have all been avoided if Mother Jones, NYT, ProPublica and other DC reporting royalty had seen Leonard Leo as a story in 2010-14, when he was just a pimple and not full blown stage 4 cancer on democracy.

I tried to warn.

So the tax cuts are permanent. I don't see the debt ever getting reduced or benefits ever getting restored because I don't believe we have a party with the stones to raise taxes on the wealthy ever. We are totally fucked.

This is how you tell the truth:

“You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history. You took an oath to the constitution, not the fascist in the White House."

This adorable face belongs to a new family member. He is a little Beagle mix, and the rescue named him Snout. I am changing it to Scout so I won't always have to repeat it when I tell people his name.
