  If you’re paranoid about food poisoning, maybe cook your own food

  Everytime the supreme Court does something batshit that allows Trump more power, I wonder if this is what Godel was worried about.

  Is it true about the U.S. constitution? I want to learn more…

    Fairly short read effectively, it’s never been made public what the loophole was/is, and all those who knew first hand are dead now. But it’s speculated to be a few different things, the leading theory (and the one I think is it) is article V, the process by which we amend the constitution. If we can amend the constitution, we can amend article V, meaning we can then make it easier to amend again later, in a downward spiral. We could also amend the constitution, do a bunch of fashy shit, then amend article V to make it so the constitution could not be amended ever again.

      and this is why people need to be informed of the ultimate legal loophole: the law is simply a collective agreement, if enough people make it clear to everyone else that they think the law is nonsense we can just change it regardless. It’s not a magic document enforced by fae magic.

    I don’t think they ever publicly stated what the flaw was. Would love to know, too.
