It’s interesting that even MSNBC, stalwart bastion of resistance lib blather, never mentions that Donald’s father, Fred, developed Alzheimer’s.

Please enjoy the recent Chapo Trap House episode on Eric Adams: https://soundgasm.net/u/ClassWarAndPuppies2/799-Swag-on-Loan-From-God-feat-Chris-Robbins-Katie-Way-11824

Adams reminds me a lot of the late-night party mayors of the ‘80s and ‘90s, in DC and Richmond VA. Those guys both went to jail, IIRC.

This is how you get nobility. Before Reagan, wealth typically dissipated by the third generation. We are heading toward the old European model, where families are rich for a millennium.

This is not a smart take. It’s basically conspiracy thinking.

Otherwise, the Supreme Court is clearly partisan, because Alito and Thomas unashamedly contort into any position needed to face the MAGA base, and Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Coney Barrett will typically tend to do so in any issue involving civil rights or business interests.

The GOP is the body that executes the will of whatever conservatism is at any moment; they are inseparable at the executional level. The doctrinal vehicle the GOP uses to get where it’s going is originalism, but the great thing about justices playing professional-amateur historians is that they can cherry-pick history to suit party-doctrinal needs.
