There's some context here. She's blackmailing GOP members if they don't fall in line behind Trump. That threat would be meaningless if it were untrue.

American cheese does that. Kraft Singles are not cheese, but American cheese is actual cheese, and it does the melt all over thing that you're looking for. This is about the one thing it's good for.

It makes a big difference to him, personally. He's a walking ego, and the fact that the American people aren't in a majority behind him will gnaw at him.

It means fuck all in any practical way. At best, the country isn't quite as giving into fascism as we thought. That's the best I got, and it ain't much.

FDR was the 10th wealthiest President in history, and T. Roosevelt was 4th. They were the neo-liberals of their time, even if they did some things to improve the working class.

Not if they call a voice vote. However, standard Roberts Rules says that anybody can object to the results of the voice vote and then it goes to actually recording things. Voice votes are meant to move things along when it's obvious a vast majority are in favor, not hide who is trying to pull something.

That's an extremely longwinded way to avoid the question.

Since neither Russia nor China is peaceful, dovish, or isolationist, what are you on about?

I don't think they'll send it down the pipe, or be successful if they try. The process tends to have to start at the lower courts and work their way up. In all likelihood, lower courts would simply strike it down, and the appeals court wouldn't see any reason to change that.

There are ways to skip those intermediate steps, and they could certainly try to invent a whole new process just for the case. But when one of their biggest allies on the court has a clear reason to be against it, why even try? They have a hundred other cases they'd rather do to hurt people. If you follow the domino metaphor in OP, then Loving is way towards the back.

In the abortion ruling, Thomas listed off a whole bunch of civil rights-related rulings he wanted to revisit. Obergefell (gay marriage) was among them. Loving, however, was conspicuously absent, and there's a pretty obvious reason why.

Louisiana runs off French civil law. They work around it.

It's convenient now. The news media isn't so much biased in terms of left vs right, but rather they're biased in favor of an explosive narrative. Trump provides so many explosive narratives just by his mere existence.

So no, they're not suddenly finding honesty. They're starting to feast on the buffet they cooked for themselves.

Alternatively, those generals saw how badly things were going by late 1943/early 1944 and would push for a negotiated surrender. While those generals definitely did put all the blame on Hitler in their post-war memoirs to cover their own failures, Hitler was certainly to blame for continuing to fight until the Reds were almost literally knocking on his bunker door.
