@SentinelOfTruth @LiberalLibrarian @ChristopherNoyesRoberts They won't say the amendment is void. They'll say the provision was limited to the Civil War context and doesn't apply to TFG.
@LiberalLibrarian @ChristopherNoyesRoberts They'll rule it doesn't apply to him on this. I guarantee it.
@LiberalLibrarian @ChristopherNoyesRoberts SCOTUS will block it.
@LiberalLibrarian @kenc313 Well, I was "oh, c'mon!" with an article claiming Thomas the Tank Engine was built on colonialism... until I read the piece and ended up "well, okay, that's proven beyond doubt."
@ToruOkada @LiberalLibrarian It seemed to be the go-to excuse for problems on the Tube.
@LiberalLibrarian We became convinced that all transportation problems on Earth can be traced to a signals failure in the Earl's Court area.
@LiberalLibrarian My experiences with the British rail system were... not inspiring.
@LiberalLibrarian But did fans have to hijack a plane to Luton?
@LiberalLibrarian Bullshit. That's *often* true, but the exceptions are massive and unpredictable.
@LiberalLibrarian Anyone who said art could never depreciate was either a) a moron who'd never actually watched the market, or b) someone trying to con a mark out of their money.
@ToruOkada @LiberalLibrarian He probably would find the idea attractive...
@LiberalLibrarian @ToruOkada He did, though that really came from Carlson. He pushed it, twice, and goaded TFG to say it. Which TFG of course did.
@ToruOkada @LiberalLibrarian I guess that's a logical corollary... though Dinesh's "point" (to the extent he's capable of having one) is that TFG will now win the Black vote.
@LiberalLibrarian It's not atypical of the R party response, though, with Boebert calling the mugshot "hot" (yes, really) and Tupperware et al. going with the "OMG, that LOOK! Once he looks at you like that, you're DOOMED!!! YIELD TO HIM NOW!"
@AkomoCombine Simple. It really meant "We are the law, and we give you orders."
@mcfate You could stop with "Dinesh never thinks," period.
