You assume that the originalists on the court care what the framers of the amendment thought, when it goes against the decision they want to render.

And yet, somehow this article does nothing to dispel my opinion that a lot of people like Trump because he says the fascist part out loud.

I believe that’s the tl;dr summary of the article in the OP.

From the article, I get the impression that the number in the headline is a severe undercount, because a lot of people in charge of running anti-domestic-terrorism programs in the military don’t see the value in them, so they either don’t see the problem in their ranks, or turn a blind eye to it.

“When somebody tells you who they are, believe them.”

No. Donald Trump told us he was a brilliant deal-maker, a stable genius, and a gifted billionaire.

A better idea is to do as Maya Angelou said: when somebody shows you what they are, over and over, believe them.

That’s what Republicans do. The platform is what they run on. And the Republican platform is “whatever Lord Trump wants.”

Remember that when push came to shove, Democrats kicked Al Franken out of the Senate, while Republicans doubled down in their support for Roy Moore.

Of course, the press never asks any of this.

The horse race reporters might not, but pollsters do. They worry about this sort of thing a lot, and try to correct for it, when possible.

Uh-huh-huh! Thank you, thank you very much.

“I don’t get it, dad. What’s a check?”

Can we have Batman: the Animated Series, and Freakazoid? What about Bullwinkle?

At one time the far far right were powerless because that all thought they were alone. Trump helped them come out, find each other, join forces, and get a huge morale boost from the knowledge that they’re not alone.

ABC reported that the Fulton County jail didn’t weigh or measure him: his office provided his height and weight.

The “no rebels or insurrectionists in office” clause? That only takes effect of he’s actually convicted. And then, of course, he’ll ignore the court ruling, whine about persecution, appeal the case, and continue doing whatever the duck he wants until he’s physically restrained.

Not before dinner and a movie.
