The key issue coming up next in the immigration fight is the judge has not identified a "bad actor" yet. You can't hold "an administration" in criminal contempt -- you have to identify a person whose actions are responsible for the contempt. And this administration thrives on avoiding...

Biden and Schumer are cut from the same cloth. They really think bipartisanship is still an option, that Trumpism is a fad and the political system will go back to "normal" any day now. But we're too far gone for that. If the system they remember ever truly existed, too few people in Congress or...

There is no future for Republicans. Trump is the only thing holding them together as anything resembling a coalition. Eight years of looking for someone able to match his energy has failed. Trump's inevitable death will be a murder-suicide pact for the GOP. There is no future for Democrats...

Electromagnetic Sansetsukon.

The only thing that can defeat the Deep State is another Deep State. . . . Now that you're done laughing, think of all the people in this country who would nod solemnly if you said that to them. . . . Then go hug your loved ones a little tighter.

I'm curious to read a full translation of "Binal Time" now. My recollection from the last time I read about that story was that Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus were inside Unicron already when Prime passed the Matrix to Ultra Magnus. It was an "Anyone will do" moment. But the wiki's summary makes...

Out of all the stray lines of world-building from IDW1, "Soundwave's anti-neutral pogroms" still terrifies me to this day.

The panels make him seem weirdly reminiscent of Optimal Optimus, IMO.

Remember when Fox News said, "Some of our programming is just the opinion of the one guy who's saying it, and it's not our fault if people mistake it for actual news"? Now imagine an entire generation of teens and 20-somethings whose political opinions are shaped by an ecosystem of commentators...

Has anyone ever coherently explained what they think an America without Birthright citizenship looks like? I'm an American citizen because I was born here. If pressed, I could get my Birth Certificate to prove it. But if Birthright citizenship is revoked, then am I only a citizen if my parents...

Technically, 160 out of 197(ish) countries of the world are signatories for the ICC (not including U.S.). On the other hand, the ICC swore out a warrant for Putin because of Ukraine, and he's traveled to some ICC signatory nations since then without facing arrest. So some nations clearly don't...

Okay.

I am. literally. quoting her from the article. How have I NOT explained how I'm making the assumption that she holds a view when I am literally quoting her proclaiming that view? It sounds like you're hung up on the idea that Slavery cannot be consented to, which is factually untrue. The...
