And famously Trump didn’t actually write any of it.

It’s a fantastic format from a docuseries on David Beckham.

From: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/david-beckhams-be-honest-thank-you#origin

On October 4th, the documentary series BECKHAM about the life and career of the British football player David Beckham premiered on Netflix. During an interview with Beckham's wife Victoria, "Posh Spice" of the Spice Girls band, Victoria tells the interviewer that both she and her husband came from working-class families, with David interrupting and telling her to be honest, with Victoria reluctantly admitting that her father had a Rolls-Royce:

- [Victoria] We both come from families that worked really hard. Both of our parents work really hard. We're very working, working class.
- [David] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] Be honest.
- [V] I am being honest!
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] So, my dad did-
- [D] No. One answer. What car was it?
- [V] It's not a simple answer because-
- [D] What car did your dad drive you to school in?
- [V] It depends…
- [D] No, no, no, no, no.
- [V] Okay, In the 80s, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.
- [D] Thank you.

They will almost certainly change the rules once the injunction finalizes. Call your representative and tell them what’s going on.

You think being sold to private equity is going to make them remove the shelf locks?

Well, it took private equity over a decade to eventually kill Toys ”R” Us. Two years would be speed running their demise.

And what does this say about the newly confirmed Secretary of Education? The whole point of having such a position at the Cabinet level is to give Congress some control over executive departments.

Just in case this needs to be painfully spelled out: 100% don’t do that

No, by definition a Constitutional Amendment would be part of the Constitution. All branches of government derive their authority from the Constitution. Simply put, the Constitution is above SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court can intercede if the process for ratification is not followed, but as long as the agreed upon process is followed there is literally nothing a judge could do.

Yeah… their team won. The idea that Trump voters will be ousted first is more fantastical than an actual day dream.

Oh, so the people who need it the most, fantastic.

Was gonna post the same thing. Scott’s two videos on the topic are a great intro for the science-minded general public.
