IF YOU TRAIN A MODEL ON THE PRODUCTS OF A NEUROTIC CULTURE, IT IS LIKELY TO BE (AT BEST) NEUROTIC:

GOOD THING WE HAVE THE LEFT TO STAND FOR DECENCY AND AGAINST FASCISM BY [CHECKS NOTES] PREEMPTIVELY KILLING POTENTIAL OPPOSITION:

EVERY INSTITUTION HAS BEEN CORRUPTED:

Or bribery was involved. Bad either way.

JOSH BLACKMAN AND SETH BARRETT TILLMAN: Senator-Governor Klobuchar and the Problem of the Received Wisdom. “In these circumstances, the law does not expressly bar dual-officeholding where, as here, the two positions are U.S. Senator and Minnesota Governor. The U.S. Constitution’s Incompatibility Clause (Article I, Section 6, Clause 2) bars U.S. Senators and Representatives from concurrently holding certain other federal positions. The position of governor is a state, not a federal position. So, this provision has no application here. . . . The federal double-dipping statute, 5 United States Code Section 5533 bars drawing two salaries for two positions, where both positions are at the federal level. It has no application to state positions, e.g., governor.”

FOR THE UNFORGIVABLE CRIME OF OPPOSITION:

Remember when David French posed as the sensible principled conservative as opposed to Trump’s impulsiveness and irrationality?

Key word: Posed.

OPEN THREAD: Party on.

VITAMIN B5: Common Nutritional Supplement Shows Surprising Promise Against Psoriasis. “Scientists found that pantethine, a derivative of vitamin B5 commonly used to lower cholesterol, can interfere with metabolic processes that drive inflammation. The findings were supported by experiments in mice and a small clinical trial involving people with psoriasis.” Hope this pans out.
