On November 5, 2024 the United States of America overdosed on a mixture of bigotry, willful ignorance, hypocrisy and performative cruelty in an apparent murder/suicide attempt. Looks like we’ll know relatively soon whether it was fatal.

BREAKING: In Nebraska rally, Trump just suggested he would be unbothered to see Iran "take out" LA or San Diego:
“They could take out a city,” he said. “Let them take—Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That’s—this is a very small price to pay."

As proof of his genius, he offers a story in which he realized that if they added 1 to 1775 it would give them the number 1776.

Joe Biden was too old to be president.
Trump is the same age as Biden was when he was president.
And it’s obvious that Trump is less mentally healthy than Biden was.
So when will the media report that the president’s brain is broken? If the answer is “never,” that means the media are broken too.

Once my mom and I were looking at standalone freezers at Sears and debating a little too loudly how many bodies you could fit in one. Salesguy walked up and was like "no way. You could absolutely fit 3." Got the sale

This line by @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com might be the best short description of "originalism" I've read yet.
“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.”

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.
