The power to tax is the very most fundamental power which enables the state to remain viable and continue to violently oppress its “subjects.” The idea that any court would ever do anything to substantively interfere with that power is, quite frankly, farcical. Bless his little heart indeed.

You just gotta love fan-fiction ... Bless your heart.

Is Voting For Fiscal Responsibility “Antisemitic”? | Guest: Rep. Thomas Massie | Ep 256 https://odysee.com/@freethepeople:a61/is-voting-for-fiscal-responsibility:7 {Free the People | 06 December 2023} Israel is the new Ukraine! As Congress shifts its interest from funding a war against Russia to funding a war against Hamas, there are few people in Washington willing to push back against reckless spending, even though our own national debt is spiraling out of control. Thomas Massie is one such voice, although his principled commitment to fiscal responsibility has earned him plenty of animosity, including but not limited to accusations of antisemitism. He sits down with Matt Kibbe to defend his votes, and highlight how America’s overspending is the greatest threat to our own national security. @freethepeople:a61/is-voting-for-fiscal-responsibility:7

Critical Education is Brainwashing https://odysee.com/@newdiscourses:9/critical-education-is-brainwashing:5 {New Discourses | 06 December 2023} New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 73 Critical Pedagogy is brainwashing. This isn’t rhetorical flourish or poetic license. The entire school of thought called Critical Pedagogy, which is wholly dominant in all our schools of education and educational institutions now, is brainwashing. It’s easy to see this by considering the words of people who use and promote Critical Pedagogy itself. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes you through three such people to make an irrefutable case that Critical Pedagogy really is nothing other than Woke brainwashing. @newdiscourses:9/critical-education-is-brainwashing:5

Bhattacharya is a plaintiff in the Missouri v. Biden lawsuit. Censorship Keeps You Safe, Says Establishment https://odysee.com/@TomWoodsTV:e/censorship-keeps-you-safe,-says:4 {TomWoodsTV | 07 December 2023} Should speech the authorities deem to be "misinformation" be regulated or banned during emergency situations? To this day we hear some people saying yes -- even though yesterday's "misinformation" can quickly become today's consensus, and so much of the official guidance itself had to be abandoned as misinformation. Stanford's Jay Bhattacharya joins us. @TomWoodsTV:e/censorship-keeps-you-safe,-says:4

Comer, Jordan threaten to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress after he rejects subpoena for deposition Hunter Biden's attorney says the president's son would only testify at a public hearing https://www.foxnews.com/politics/comer-jordan-threaten-to-hold-hunter-biden-in-contempt-of-congress-after-rejecting-subpoena-for-deposition {Brooke Singman | 06 December 2023} House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan are threatening to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress, after the lawyer for the president’s son notified the panel that he will not appear to testify unless he can do so in a public setting. Comer, R-Ky., subpoenaed Hunter Biden to appear for a deposition on Dec. 13 behind closed doors. Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell, last week, notified the committee that the president’s son wanted to testify in a public hearing instead.

With rare exceptions (such as Coolidge and ... ummmm ... well, such as Coolidge), every president since at least (and, of course, including) Lincoln has exhibited such a "tendency" to some degree or another. Two of the most notable were the Roosevelts, Theodore and Franklin (one being a Republican and the other a Democrat, should anyone still be laboring labor under the illusion that this is a partisan phenomenon). Treating Trump as if he is somehow special or different in this regard (either for better or worse) ultimately just boils down to personality-cult bullshit. The source of the "tendency" is the system itself. The system evolves the personages, not the other way around. Like the modern U.S., the late Roman Republic was a basket case of dysfunctions. Several men, each in his own way, tried to "fix" it. Sulla became dictator in the name of preserving the Roman Republic in defiance of its circumstances. He failed. Julius Caesar became dictator in the name of adjusting the Republic to its circumstances. He failed, too (and got merked, to boot). Octavian became imperator (turbo-dictator) and delivered the Republic its coup de grâce - because he understood that the Republic's gig was finally up. Republics (at least the overweeningly expansive ones) become empires - and it takes an emperor to rule an empire. Whether someone - Trump, or anyone else - becomes "dictator" of America (formally, or de facto) has relatively little to do with the "tendencies" of the person himself, and far more to do with the nature and "logic" of culturally-multifarious, continent(s)-spanning republics-cum-empires.

Of course! I mean, after all, we're not some corrupt and undemocratic second- or third-world country like Argentina or Brazil, where they just do that sort of thing in a single day.

I am not certain of any such thing - but it doesn't matter. He doesn't need to be "that bright" in order to understand full well that the consequences of what he wants to do will give him, his cronies, and their "friends", associates, & supporters far more power (i.e., far more wealth and far more control) than they already have. Whether he is capable of "grasp" anything beyond that is irrelevant, as there is no reason to think he would care (let alone do anything differently) in either case. An adequate supply of energy (from whatever source) to his "mansions" (or jet planes, limousines, etc.) will not be in jeopardy. An adequate supply of energy to our homes and businesses (or those of others who are not among Kerry's cronies and their "friends", associates, & supporters), on the other hand ...
