You assume that the originalists on the court care what the framers of the amendment thought, when it goes against the decision they want to render.

And yet, somehow this article does nothing to dispel my opinion that a lot of people like Trump because he says the fascist part out loud.

I believe that’s the tl;dr summary of the article in the OP.

From the article, I get the impression that the number in the headline is a severe undercount, because a lot of people in charge of running anti-domestic-terrorism programs in the military don’t see the value in them, so they either don’t see the problem in their ranks, or turn a blind eye to it.

“When somebody tells you who they are, believe them.”

No. Donald Trump told us he was a brilliant deal-maker, a stable genius, and a gifted billionaire.

A better idea is to do as Maya Angelou said: when somebody shows you what they are, over and over, believe them.

The nafety for safety.

That’s what Republicans do. The platform is what they run on. And the Republican platform is “whatever Lord Trump wants.”

I’m pretty sure I saw that headline, with X = Obama or Elizabeth Warren or someone. Then it got shot down because… Idunno, they probably would have blown it all on rent and food and car repairs instead of Job Creation.

Some years ago, employees sued Amazon because the company had a lengthy security scan when people left, to prevent theft. Apparently it could take half an hour to go through, and they argued that this was unpaid overtime.

They lost, which seems like bullshit: as far as I can tell, the sane way to look at it is, if you’re obligated to do what the company tells you and go where the company says, then you’re on the job and should be paid for it. Once you’re out the door, you can choose whether you want to go home or go to a bar or just sit on the sidewalk; you’re not on the clock and you’re not getting paid.

If the company wants you to work 8 hours in the warehouse, then spend half an hour in the security scan, then you’re doing company business for 8.5 hours.
