Unless the "constitutional law scholar" said "Pick up a history book you idiots" then what you've actually got is a parrot who repeats whatever words they're trained to say.
Andrew Jackson didn't just ignore supreme Court order, he ignored a supreme court order for the purposes of committing genocide against indigenous people.
Don't worry though, FDR threatened the supreme Court with packing it so he could set up ethnic concentration camps where he locked up US citizens of Japanese descent.
Keep using that word unprecedented, there's an awful lot of precedent absolutely unspeakable things. It isn't a good idea to use words that aren't true. American history didn't start last week.
You guys aren't going to have an industry anymore if you don't use just a little bit of critical thinking. As it stands, the entire world is walking away from the news media because you are just ordered to say a stupid thing and like good little mouthpieces you repeat it.
The people have no use for a stenographer of the establishment. If you aren't going to tell the truth, you have no reason to exist.

Shame they never made any sequels.
I actually have a huge write-up on the failure of the sequels -- essentially, I argue that while the first movie fully embodies its core philosophy of postmodernism in its universe, themes, and plot, the sequels "have philosophy" but don't embody their philosophy. They have philosophical speeches, but the story isn't about the philosophy in those speeches.
I'm working on my next book which contains deep philosophical foundations, and I'm doing my best to keep this idea in mind as I write.

Fear not! Trudeau, who has prorogurd Parliament to stay in power and absolutely will not be in any sort of power within a month or two, is here to save Ukraine!
Maybe he can donate some of the money that embezzled from the Canadian people?

The UK is cracking down on "hyper masculine influencers"

My understanding is that Zelensky did what my ex-girlfriend tried to get me to do once -- I'd worked out a deal for a used truck, it was time to go pick up the truck, and she goes "Well you should demand this this and this" it's like... no, we're just going to sign the paper, the deal is made. Walking in and trying to change the terms of the deal after it's already made isn't in line with masculine honor.
A counter-point to this is that it is pragmatic to push back hard during what was supposed to be the celebratory press conference given that the nation's future is on the line. Honor is a someone deontological thing. You may do something dishonorable because it is the practical necessity, but it doesn't make it honorable, and it's equally pragmatic to recognize that if you act dishonorably you may face consequences.
The state department worked out the deal, they were at the white house for what was supposed to be a photo op, and instead Zelensky started posturing for the media. This was not honorable conduct, so Trump and Vance tore a strip off of him.
The EU is apparently pissed off with the US, but the EU is pathetic. They pretend to be pacifists, but in reality they just try to bully the US into fighting their wars for them so they can look down their nose at the US while sitting on their high horse. The EU at this point is basically a US dependent that doesn't act like it but comes running to daddy every time they get in a tough spot. The most terrifying idea for the entire continent is that the United States will stop being the big bad bully they attack it for being, because it'll mean they have to protect themselves.
Ironically, the Europeans brought this upon themselves in part by their constant lobbying to make America more European. If the US remained the practical people they were prior to the world wars, the might have been able to maintain a global Empire. Pretending they're the same sort of failed society as Europe only dragged the US into failure themselves (and now they need to pull themselves out of it) -- If the US had stayed the practical people they were prior to the end of World War 2, then they could have been strong indefinitely.

The painful dichotomy in Canada: in February it's either warm or it's sunny it's not both.
If you owe the bank 81 dollars you've got a problem. If you owe the bank 81 trillion the bank has a problem.
I'm shocked that fascism still doesn't work even when it's supposed to be nice. How dare the "private sector" (government contractor) do this?
Racoon infiltration is loosely correlated with AfD support.

With all the layoffs in government this year (up to 1 million, they're saying) the US is on track to potentially be in recession this year.
Which is one of those things that hides the real story. If you're 500lbs and cut your number of calories you'll feel terrible -- at first. But as your body shrinks, you suddenly find it easier to move. You find you have more energy. You find you can do all kinds of things physically you could never do before. Eventually, you feel better than you ever have in your life, and you'd never want to go back.
GDP is a bit deceptive because it incorporates private industry, exports, and government. If you ever want the GDP to go up then, you just take out a bunch of debt and spend a bunch of government money. Doesn't do anything, and in fact all these totally unproductive people remove people and goods from the productive economy, but number went up!
I guess I can't completely assume every government job is wasteful -- I like not getting murdered by criminals, and not eating food that's going to kill me, and being able to drive to the next town over is important -- but we're finding things like teaching gender studies to the Taliban, or paying intelligence operatives to talk about how much they like peeing on people. That's not a productive use of money.
