Yeah that's not even enough for me to know if it's controversial. I, also, think SCOTUS will have different opinions on separation of powers.

This sort of story is dumb. Is that really the reason you wouldn't vote for someone? There must be more compelling points. So who is this for?

I think it's just circle-jerky "the team I hate also smells icky" stuff, like when Alex Jones said Obama and Hillary literally smelled like sulfur.

Not everything has to be 18D chess. Maybe they just hate Trump.

Once I saw a raccoon poop and I was like "no way raccoons poop that big" but this does tell another story.

This thought terminating cliche is used on the right as well. It makes no sense (so...Trump is the one who "became black?") and just exists so people can reinforce their world view uncritically.

If you have an opinion, back it up with evidence and say that.

Give a man a raise and you feed him for one year. Teach a man to unite for regular raises and good benefits and you'll feed him for the rest of his life.

It's just memes broken out by who was under 30 when they became popular.

It's actually kind of smart for the presidential campaign to push for a government shutdown. Republicans will get blamed, but not Trump specifically.

And everyone looks bad in a shutdown to median voters. The immediate reaction is "just make a deal" which means Biden-Harris admin looks bad too...not as bad as Congressional Republicans but also bad, surely there are people who will (incorrectly) not think Voter ID laws are important enough for all this fuss either way.

Of course, the problem is that the Trump team are being too obvious with it so they WILL be blamed if it happens, now.

Same thing happened with the border bill...would have been genius if it failed without Trump meddling.

I don't think she started it. Very well could have popularized it.

Still gross to make that accusation about someone as reprehensible as Loomer. And it let's Trump off the hook. She's not traveling with him because of sexual favors, she's traveling with him because he supports her insane views.

I feel like the British way should always be phrased like "first floor up" or "third floor up" because then you count starting at zero. American way should be phrased as "the first floor" or "the fourth floor."
