This means that the House Republicans caved. This bill doesn’t include funding for ICE and CBP.

We have elections at some level like every week.

The next federal elections are the midterms on November 3rd.

Take a listen to the oral arguments and the Court’s responses. They’re gonna strike this one down for sure, possibly even 9-0.

Ope:

TACO’d already!

Out of all the things that this administration has done, a draft would be by far the most unpopular. Like actual civil unrest unpopular, not just a No Kings protest.

Conscripts don’t make good soldiers, and leaders have known this for centuries. You’d have millions of draftees who would be conscientious objectors at best and active saboteurs at worst. They wouldn’t just be lining up to be cannon fodder.

Congress knows all this and so would never approve a draft, probably never again to be honest and least of all in a massively unpopular war.

We have over 2 million service members including reserves, more than any other country except China and India. There won’t be a draft.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.

I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.

an artist’s worldview informs their art, so things like racism/misogyny/ableism etc etc seep into the works they create.

I disagree with this part. People are extremely complex and not even internally consistent with themselves. I don’t think it’s a given that any and all bad qualities they possess are necessarily going to be present in art they create.

You gotta take the bad with the good.

My desire to see my favorite acts is greater than my desire to take trust busting upon myself. I can and do see shows at my local dives but I’m not going to abandon my favorite bands just because more people like them than before.

That’s just punishing both artists and long-time loyal fans for the artists being popular. It’s not their fault that there’s a monopoly on venues bigger than hyper-local clubs and bars.

Alcohol is expensive, I’ll tell you that much.

The problem with this, if you follow it to its natural conclusion, is that the “best” local bands eventually popular enough that they’re playing Ticketmaster/Livenation venues.

What are you looking for that you’ve been unable to find?

“illegal war” is a pretty nonsensical phrase if you think about it

People ain’t got no money.
