Or just when conservatives find it convenient? Fourteenth Amendment challenges (and counterchallenges) to Donald Trump’s disqualification for any public office in these United States are beginning to multiply. On its face, the post-Civil War constitutional amendment disqualifies Trump from running again for president over his involvement in the Jan. 6 attempted coup. Multiple conservative legal experts agree. Activists have already challenged Trump’s eligibility in North Carolina and Florida. And so? (CNN): New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan, a Republican, said earlier this week that he asked the state’s attorney general to examine the matter and advise him on the “provision’s potential applicability to the upcoming presidential election cycle.” The attorney general’s office said it was “carefully reviewing the legal issues.” In the statement, Scanlan said he wasn’t taking a position on the disqualification question and was not “seeking to take certain action” but was going to study the matter in anticipation of lawsuits.

The man picked by the Conservative Party to stand in Nadine Dorries' Mid Bedfordshire seat already has a string of controversies under his belt

Jan. 6 was just a warm-up Change can be threatening. It can be uncomfortable. What it means to an uncomfortably large number of white men who can’t get over themselves is an occasion for violence, even murder. In Jesus’s name. Spouses, children, and neighbors beware. Behold the righteous Christian soldier (and sometime bounty hunter) preaching death to MAGA enemies: Right Wing Watch elaborates: Stew Peters is a far-right virulently anti-LGBTQ bigot who regularly uses his nightly “The Stew Peters Show” program, speeches, and social media accounts to promote white nationalists and antisemites and to spread wild conspiracy theories, bigotry, and calls for violence. Lately, those calls for violence have become increasingly explicit, as just last week Peters used his program to urge Americans to begin exploring “extra-legal options” to remove “enemy combatants” like Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs from office.

You ask me what all idiosyncrasy is in philosophers? … For instance their lack of the historical sense, their hatred even of the idea of Becoming, their Egyptianism.

1. You have dark circles around your eyes.

2. You look absolutely feral when caught off guard by flash photography.

3. Your behavior is unpredictable, and you could become unexpectedly aggressive at any moment.

4. You are a mostly solitary creature, but sometimes you band together with gender-specific social groups, because it’s the only way you’ll survive.

5. Your appearance in stark daylight is alarming, and prompts calls to public safety.

6. A bath wouldn’t hurt.

7. People get upset when you come into a restaurant with your family, because your mere presence is a disturbance and they think they’re going to have to fumigate the place once you leave.

8. And everyone freaked out that one time you all got onto an airplane, even though you were just sitting there minding your own business and the one who was really stressed out in that situation was you.

9. Those whiskers are getting pretty long.

10. And you very obviously don’t shave your legs, but nobody really expects that from you anyway. To be honest, everything is looking a little hairy and untamed.

Modern mainstream (neoclassical) economics relies to a large degree on the notion of probability. To be amenable to applied economic analysis, economic observations allegedly have to be conceived as random events that are analyzable within a probabilistic framework. But is it really necessary to model the economic system as a system where randomness can only […]
