View full threadCheers, and agree on your OP. Very depressing how Congress is letting it happen, but underscores trump was smart to first complete domination his party before going for presidency again. He's functionally prime minister as well as president in a way dems aren't even trying for yet alone acheiving
- Plenty of liberal commentators mid 2010s were bemoaning the US not being more of a parliamentary democracy due to constitutional structure, but none I think envisaged trump successfully overcoming it through combo of sheer party dominance via popular popularity + open defiance of constitution

- In light of the Court's decision to allow Slaughter's firing to stand pending review of Humphrey's, does anyone still think that the Fed would have been able to refuse to accept the trillion dollar coin if the President had deemed it necessary to prevent a constitutional crisis?

- That's an argument I would have been very receptive to! Unfortunately I got a bunch of formalistic bullshit in response by liberals at the time

- I mean that's a very fair critique of the idea, unfortunately it wasn't the one most serious liberals made, lol they did the other thing
- "But you could have an opinion on it. You have an opinion on all kinds of things, right?" I meant things like Star Wars! Not like, you know, the war crimes committed by my good family friend. Who has time for that!? Jesus this interview is such an amazing train wreck.

- Can't think of a better example of actual "cause" than "the Fed is trying to force the executive branch to ignore Congress's spending directives by refusing to allow it to exercise coinage powers under a plain meaning reading of the statute". "Least unconditional option" indeed

- Gotta say it's genuinely hilarious and poetic that the thing trumpland has seized in to attack fed independence is it's ability to fund its operating expenses with ex nihilo fiat mechanism as it's policy toolkit. Live by the black box infinity sign budget capacity, die by it.
