The President cannot unilaterally do any of those things.

I absolutely LOVE that PoppinKREAM is on the fediverse too. We don’t deserve you, my dude, but we’re glad you’re here.

Indeed. Also, Republicans have already proposed dramatic cuts to the IRS, so we should be under no illusions about what will happen to this loophole and Direct File if Trump & Co. take control in November.

The “judicial torpedo” herself, suddenly pearl clutching now that it’s obvious to the rest of us she wasn’t nominated because of her resume or experience, but in order to achieve a policy goal of the party who put her forward. Suddenly she’s worried about appearances and decorum? After what we’ve witnessed over the past 8 years?

Get. Fucked. You. Absolute. Shitstain. I hope the scrutiny keeps you awake and in a cold sweat when you lie down in your bed at night.

It was never about his job. It was always about putting Christianity back on a pedestal and the rest of us back in the shadows.

Fuck him.

I’ve wondered how long we’ll go before universities across the country start refusing to accept Florida high school graduates because their coursework does not meet basic acceptance criteria. I can see the Ivy league starting first because they have a legitimate reason to want their incoming freshmen to have top-notch coursework under their belt so they can hit the ground running, and once the first domino falls I’d imagine lots of universities would rush to join the chorus. If Florida officials want their kids to learn that slavery was good and that rainbows don’t exist, then fine. They’re disqualified from attending tertiary institutions whose history and sociology instruction is predicated on those things being bullshit. It’d be no different from some crazy-ass wingnut homeschooler trying to get into Harvard after having taken classes like “Cell Biology and Jesus”, “Why God Made Calculus”, and “The Physics of Heaven” from their mom.

And no small number of supposed leftists found in all this cause for celebration.

and also

Those who approve or condone Hamas’s atrocities constitute a small minority of the left.

Mr. Levitz should take a deep breath and figure out what exactly he’s trying to say, and to whom.
