Yeah, a book burning just isn't the thing it used to be. In the digital age it would be very difficult to keep a book from getting anywhere. But I don't really think this movement is very interested in that anyway. Discrediting a book or idea with their supporters is fairly easy. I expect...

I wish rules about Congress didn't have to be passed by Congress. I would like to adopt an understanding that passing a spending bill was a critical requirement of their job. If it ever comes within 30 days of not having a budget, every member of Congress starts getting fined $10,000 a day and...

How do you make this sound like something that was important to do? The person who deleted links that were already on the website is an unnecessary federal employee.

That's classy. I like seeing something like that.

I don't want him doing even 1. But he was duly elected and has the authority to do 4 and sort of 5. The barrier between 5 and 6 is legal. The barriers before that are political. Every President has done 5 in the eyes of some of the people and the President has to be willing and able to pay...

It feels, at least on my corner of social media, like the Democrats might be trying to overplay a hand when they should be more focused. Trump is doing 6 Things: 1) Golfing 2) Pushing common Republican issues 3) Pushing more uncommon issues more than usual 4) Breaking norms 5) Betraying...

I don't know if that is meant to be "at" me. These things are tough. If there is a shutdown and people are feeling some pain, they want to know whose fault it is. It is ALWAYS because the parties disagree and think the other is being unreasonable, but what does the public think? When that...

The GOP does have the majority in the Senate, but that isn't what they need. They need 60 votes to pass this.

Senate Democrats are risking a shutdown protesting DOGE. Their heart is in the right place, but not their brains. I am guessing they will pass it in time and are just hitting the brakes so they can talk about it, but it does ring pretty true when Mike Johnson steps to the camera and says these...

This show isn't pulling its punches.

What happened there? Edit - Oh, Ms. McBride.

A college student organizing college protests CAN become a terrorist bomber, but generally these are two entirely separate groups of people, I think. I want him not deported because it is illegal and they shouldn't get away with doing illegal things even if I don't like this guy. If they have...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-musk-tesla-9a43c57a0591a4c7ed8d3f1b2c7ef8d9 This is really hard. I initially thought that the Tesla boycott would be a lot of hot air like boycotts always are, but Tesla is clearly feeling it and their stock is tanking. And it is clearly known to be because of...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-tariffs-stock-musk-business-8a5f28d9bb16e0b8a924d99ead0907fa It makes me feel icky to root against my country, but I really thought Ontario was a in a strong position here and it looks like the crumpled.

I mean...start through the Bill of Rights...oh the first one.

I guess I was a little myopic. Someone else pointed out to me that the wolves in this metaphor can be people too, so in this case beating the disruptive disabled kids that are causing trouble is a comfort to the good kids who are trying to learn. Ugh. We're torturing a metaphor at this point...

Weird. When I click it, it says I would have to sign in. I don't have a sign in.

I want to hear more about that next bracket first.
