If you have a refrigerator with food, you are rich enough to be afraid of socialism.
I don't hate the results. "MAGA" needed to be destroyed in order to move America forward. Unfortunately, the salad tossing MAGAt-Traitors can't see past their own arrogance.

BREAKING: The Constitutionality Index has now scored every law in the history of the United States. 48,000 laws dating back to 1789.
So far as I'm aware, I'm the first one to ever attempt such a thing.
And we've now ranked every president based on the percentage of laws they enacted were constitutional. The results largely track the overall historical trend: As we move from the founding to the modern era, the percentage of unconstitutional legislation increases.
In fact, 1937 is the tipping point. Pre-FDR's New Deal, every president โ Federalist, Whig, Republican, Democrat โ scores 98 to 100%. After the New Deal, the average percentage of constitutional laws (by page) drops to 31 percent.
As a result, presidents of the last few decades find themselves at the bottom of the rankings. @JoeBiden is officially the least constitutional president, although Trump isn't far behind. Only Thomas Jefferson scored a perfect 100 percent.
I've also scored congresses, & @SpeakerJohnson's current Congress is, from the perspective of the Constitution, the worst Congress in American history. Constitutional legislation stands at 56.3 by total count, & just 4.3% by total legislative pages.
Another important finding: The largest laws in American history are, every one of them, unconstitutional.
Check it out & let me know what you think. (Links below)

House Speaker Johnson complains that Hegseth didn't receive "due process" in Massie impeachment motion. The girls in the Minab school also didn't receive due process before the missile attack Hegseth authorized blew them up.
Q: Hegseth called Massie a disgruntled congressman.
Johnson: Thomas Massie is a disgruntled congressman, and the impeachment effort is a political gambit for attention.
I think Secretary Hegseth did an extraordinary job. I watched most of the press conference. I thought he did very well.
I expect that weโre going to defeat that one way or the other, and weโll get on with the business.
The idea that you would impeach the Secretary of War at a time of international conflict sends a terrible message to our enemies and our allies, and we are not going to play that game.
You donโt impeach a Cabinet secretary lightly. They had no due process. Thereโs nothing that went into this. This is just purely for people to get attention, and itโs shameful.

Yet you bunch are calling anti-Zionists โNazisโ and โfascistsโ. For the past four years, Republicans did jack and shit for veterans. Why should I believe a word you say while veterans are getting fucked over by the people you support? Spare me the fake outrage!

They used to shit on the comedians for being "just a comedian" yet people like @ComicDaveSmith are constantly dropping facts while they just push slop
Itโs just too pathetic watching the few remaining Trump supporters trying to dunk on Massie. You should probably wait more than a week after that catastrophic beat down to start talking about whoโs โtaking Ls.โ
Massie was absolutely right about the war that ruined Trumpโs Presidency. Everyone knows that.
He introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth for killing school girls for fucks sake.. This wasnโt lying about a blow job, fake ass Ukraine-gate or that obvious inside job Jan 6th. Good for him for doing it.
If you had listened to Massie instead of Levin, you would be sitting on majorities right now.

Remember...for all the carefully crafted impressions that Vance marches to his own drummer, in fact he is just one of them.
Has Pete Hegseth committed impeachable crimes? The question is absurd and the answer is: obviously not.
Like so much of Congress, impeachment has become a ridiculous show that stands in for actual policymaking. Congress has so many tools for registering its policy disagreements. Rather than use them, they're going to try to impeach Pete Hegseth. They did the same to Donald Trump. Legislation is hard. Impeachments are easy (and ultimately, inconsequential).
The irony is that legislators are most angry at Pete on the issues where he's most correct: repositioning forces away from Europe/Ukraine and reorganizing the general officer corps.
This isn't about Iran, this is about the fact that Pete took on the bureaucracy at the Pentagon.

you are such an anti-American piece of garbage liar. There is nothing in the constitution that says that the president can initiate as long as he gives notice.

It would sure be nice if even one Catholic bishopโjust oneโwould speak up about the moral obligation of illegal immigrants to return to their country of origin and seek legal means of emigration.
Or the moral obligation of elected officials to enforce duly enacted laws on immigration.
Or the moral obligation of our leaders to prioritize the good of their citizens over the good of foreign nationals.
But no, we get this instead, every time.
Friends, Catholic social teaching holds two things together: a nation has the right, and the duty, to regulate its borders, and every migrant is a person of incomparable dignity who deserves generosity.
In January, amid the tensions in Minnesota, I proposed that enforcement focus on those who have committed serious crimes. Last year, together with my brother bishops of Minnesota, I called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. What the President described Sunday in his 60 Minutes interview about immigration is very much in that spirit.
The President now proposes working with Democrats toward a solution that involves a properly regulated border, the deportation of people who have committed serious crimes, and a generous approach toward those who have been non-violent and have contributed to the economy. He even admitted that the enforcement of his immigration policy has been too tough.
That is the balance the Churchโs teaching points toward. We have waited years for a solution to this thorny problem. I would strongly encourage leaders in both parties to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity.
