And if Trump wants to, he can veto laws unless Democrats can get some Republican legislators onboard.

I think it is very likely for Democrats to get enough Republican votes to sustain a veto on specific issues, particularly on the war and on tariffs. Both bills would have to be crafted with Republican input, and be focused more on asserting Congress’s authority than on punishing past actions. But they should reinforce firm bounds that the President can’t sneak around.

But, conveniently enough, the threshold for overriding a veto is also more than sufficient for impeachment. So if Trump has constraints placed on him via a veto override, and he ignores them, the next logical step would be to impeach him over it. When drafting the bill, in exchange for the weaker language that Republicans would insist on, Democrats should insist that if Trump ignores even that, that Republicans should support ousting him. At that point, it’s not a matter of party anymore, it’s a matter of whether Congress has any power at all.

Democrats won’t get this courtesy from Republicans on anything else, so they should make sure to work together on this, as long as I am right and there are enough Republicans now willing to buck the President on this.

Clinics have hours of operation that are published, just mail a flyer to the local sheriff and it’s all good

Want to stop this? Get the Satanic Temple to state that they consider any abortion clinic part of their rituals, and say it’s covered under this law.

Nor did the author mention Donald Trump, who owns many of the courses that LIV ran tournaments at. I thought it was pretty obvious the whole thing was just a vehicle to get Saudi money into Trump’s pocket.

The filibuster for SCOTUS judges is already dead, Mitch killed it in 2017

I am confident that if any of those three retired tomorrow the Senate would rush any old turkey that Trump nominated to confirmation in time for Thanksgiving

What if my Senator is Schumer? How do I politely tell him to retire already?

A teensy tiny fig leaf is all he needs

The large Democratic wave (spurred in no small part by the progressive wing) may actually work against them, because if the Democratic majority is really more than 40 seats (as is currently projected), then that means that they can afford to lose 20 or 30 members and still get their agenda through. So those far left politicians don’t really have a lot of leverage if they want to buck the leadership.

His finances weren’t stable before the 2024 election, but then he found crypto. That helped him stay solvent enough to get re-elected, and then it’s been nothing but grift for the last two years.

I think that in these types of small planes, the more experienced pilot does the actual flying and the less experienced one is monitoring everything, including all the communications. So the main pilot was busy trying to figure out if there was any way to get out of the trouble they were in.

So it has nothing to do with the content at all, just how many words are in sentences, and how many syllables are in those words. A twelve year old with a penchant for run-on sentences (and a thesaurus) could invent a “33rd-grade” sentence if they put their mind to it.

It’s actually dumber than if they had an AI grade it for readability.

But that’s the thing, it’s not fraudulent to run a business that loses money. And these folks are committing no fraud, they are entirely honest in their filings that show they are burning through money with no hope of actual profit.

Yet, people keep buying. It’s like they care less about the underlying business, and more about catching a profit before it all falls apart.

They don’t need to be fraudulent, if they can get just as much investment by being honest.

Oh, I think they made it up. Most PhD’s “only” need 10-12 years of school after High School. 33rd Grade isnt a thing at all.

You might need a college degree to read a ballot, but you need a Slop degree to make sense of Axios

The problem isn’t necessarily with the IPOs. If an unprofitable company wants to go public with nothing to offer but empty promises, why shouldn’t they?

The real problem is how these companies have grown as large as they have with no profits, and are dominating the US economy. In a sane world, ordinary investors wouldn’t be lining up to buy shares of these companies that may never show a profit. What makes it even worse is how indexes are bending their own rules to get these companies in. Many ordinary people might not even realize how much their retirement is tied into these companies at this point.

Now, educated investors might see these as a lotto ticket. Put a small amount into each one, and maybe one or two hits big and generate outsized returns. But those folks are not gambling with their pensions. I have a bad feeling that when it all falls apart, the country as a whole will be left holding the bag, either because the stock market craters to the point that no one can retire, or the Feds step in and bail it all out

“Take Off, Hosehead” is still a conversation

Nope. I already blocked one account posting links to this same site, and when I clicked on it I got a porn ad…

$420 million? Really? Even when they grift, they’re memeing. I bet Musk is involved.

It’s only a matter of time before AI bots learn to wriye intentional tyops and shifty autocorrect just to appear more human
