#Anathema
worth reiterating again that “the executive can raise and spend money however he likes” has been anathema even under monarchies for centuries

we’re not rolling back anything in US history here, we’re rolling back the English Civil War
Odds are this aggressively did not happen. But it would of course be just as unconstitutional to spend money donated to the government without a duly enacted appropriation as it is to spend tax money that way.
Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

It's like sealing the gateway is Anathema to her...
Guy whose entire body is a gateway to the Wailing Maelstrom: but what if I regret sealing the gateway? Maybe I should just keep trying to hold it in through sheer willpower

My job is to educate the public and explain the law. If you want people to oppose something because it isn’t lawful or anathema to our constitutional tradition, they have to know what the law is and where those principles come from.
Why would anyone even legitimize this by discussing it on what's supposed to be a respected news channel?
It's not allowed, per the Constitution, to hold a 3rd presidential term.

The idea that someone might use their fancy new iPhone to visit a website that didn't work without Flash was anathema to them, because they didn't control it

So while Android nurtured numerous flash plugins so all those shitty websites would run correctly, Apple crusaded to make Flash disappear

I can seriously argue that replay culture is not only an imposition from gambling, but reveals a worring societal desire to control every variable in life and is anathema to the enjoyment of sports, IN THIS ESSAY I WILL

not great. reifying any kind of volk should be anathema to /any/ kind of left politics. like, from first principles—it should be foolish on its face ffs! what the fuck man
volk v cosmopolitan really does seem to be the cleavage now
Kinda wild how the Maine thing just kind of evaporated what was left of the Left/Centrist battlelines. Online equivalent of the 30 years war in some respects

It's an abomination, just utter architectural & historical philistinism, it is pure barbarism. It is thus anathema to those who think, feel, know, appreciate architecture, and have a well-developed sense of history. Trump lacks all of these refinements & qualities, as he is a modern day Attila.

Salary for me is ~$109k gross income, not counting OT or taxes and retirement contributions, I’m definitely somewhere around middle class economically! My political views of “I should probably be paying more taxes” are generally viewed as anathema by the vast majority of my coworkers!

Yeah, you'd expect to see meaningful turnout issues for democrats in specials if they were really so anathema to the every day voter.

Specials, in particular, are basically driven entirely by enthusiasm and who shows up! It's like the best way to actually measure this.

In full disclosure, I've been all too stressed over the worry that people might think I've been shady due to the long delay on Arcade Decades, which is now happily sailing our way. Like, the thought of it going fucking wrong is anathema to me. Isn't that the normal thought process?

Yes. Collective action is anathema to a movement rooted in selfish assholery.

No Kings has an even deeper, more fundamental flaw though: patriotism. It presents Donald Trump as a unique monster of history, born out of nowhere, and an anathema to Freedom-loving Americans rather than what he is, which is the obvious extension of American white supremacy. 13/

"This is a broad coalition against fascism, stop demanding ideological purity!"

is a funny gotcha to employ every single time people notice that you're inviting fascists into that coalition.

"Ideological purity" really is just having any beliefs at all, because that's anathema to centrism.
Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

The most important article you will read today. This is simply not the America we love. I say this as a former national security professional who is very much pro law enforcement. The tactics used here are anathema to actual policing, against all TTPs. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Indeed - I just don’t think you need to go there to realize just how unhealthy a dominant strain in our culture’s view is on sexuality and how much the idea of autonomy is anathema to them.

The formal secondary ticket market is a scam. It's essentially supply management, which I'm assured is anathema to the same people expressing their opposition to ticket price controls. Maybe it's OK because it's a business practice, not government policy.

All of which is to say that ICE raids are evil but within the letter of the law - something that the public has grown to accept - but these other violations openly spit in the face of the idea that Trump is subject to any law or whims but his own, and THAT is anathema to America.

@justinwolfers.bsky.social - as much as this is an anathema to an academic economist (as someone who studied in the same Faculty as Adam Smith), Trumpian economics is as delusional as Trumpian planning permission to knock down parts of the White House.

The Treaty was unanimously ratified in the Senate, a reminder that if it had been so anathema/such a break with US "founded" as a Christian nation someone, for their own political or personal reasons, or both, would have objected. In the very least the US federal gov't had no established religion.
