SCAM:
…The key is that these proposals would evade a vote of the public and be achieved through Congress. With a hostile takeover of the Court, these figures would be free to pursue radical changes to the political system that would guarantee their hold on power.

HANNAH COX: The Lab vs Natural Diamond Debate Makes Women Look Stupid.
Well, if you consider the diamond as a commitment test — a sort of hostage or deposit if you will — then insisting on a more expensive one makes some degree of sense.

UPDATE: The real question isn’t what will happen to Spirit? It’s where will Spirit’s customers go?
Spirit hasn’t even been gone for 24 hours and their passengers are already wreaking havoc on other airlines, they’ve breached containment https://t.co/CmknsPPr9z

OPEN THREAD: Party on, dudes and dudettes.
“THESE GUYS LEFT NAZI GERMANY, AND MUSSOLINI’S ITALY, TO COME TO CALIFORNIA IN THE 1940s, AND THEY LIVED BY THE BEACH, AND THEY WERE DEPRESSED BY THE RELENTLESS CHEERINESS, the productivity, and the capitalism that they witnessed around them:”
In 2011, Breitbart breaks down how Frankfurt School Marxists like Adorno, Marcuse, & Horkheimer escaped Germany for 1940s Golden Age California -only to hate the endless cheer, productivity, and capitalism. They devised cultural Marxism to subvert the US. pic.twitter.com/y2ZVdfVsPw https://t.co/n4z0DCKBqB

Don’t be Minnesota.
From the Minneapolis Star Tribune,
Don’t Minnesota my state: Land of 10,000 Lakes becomes a political punching bag.
The Star Tribune is completely baffled by this development, which they view as wholly undeserved. The Star Tribune blames “conservative candidates” and Trump for the phenomenon.
The Star Tribune tracks down a political science professor who attributes the state’s unwanted status entirely to a Trump “grudge.”
No, I think there’s more to Minnesota’s recent PR decline than that:
Dinesh D’Souza didn’t just “let his daughter marry” anybody.
He let her marry Brandon Gill because the dude is the kind of patriot who walks into the lions’ den with receipts** and doesn’t flinch.🔥
In this clip, Gill looks Minnesota Dems in the eye and asks a question so… pic.twitter.com/dv1h2TsLTo

UNEXPECTEDLY: Jon Stewart Hearts Nazi-Tatted Pol Graham Platner.
Newsbusters reports that Stewart gave Platner a chummy interview earlier this week on his “Weekly Show” podcast. First, Stewart compared him to a classic movie underdog.
…here’s, kind of, always the fable of a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, a kind of, you know, an honest man who has real ideals facing off against a corrupt system that is fueled by money and toxicity and all these—so there is an archetype for this.
Later, Stewart brought up the tattoo issue without mentioning its Nazi roots. He did so while thoroughly explaining away the matter, sweeping it under the electoral rug so listeners could see Platner as a changed man.
Platner’s PR team couldn’t have scripted the exchange any better.
Old and busted: “Punch a Nazi.”
The new hotness?
I think it is time we consider the possibility that Democrats are so thoroughly convinced that Trump supporters are actual Nazis that they see Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo as being an electoral advantage.
