I don’t see how posting a (imo substantive) criticism of one particular person constitutes “boo outgroup.”
This analysis reminds me of how humanities and “soft” sciences often try to use mathematics to dress up arguments that are really nothing more than vibes. Why should judicial impeachments be poisson distributed? Even if they are, how do you infer the correct parameter? Using the small number of known occurrences is going to yield huge variance. I mean just look at the interesting choice of y-axis in the first chart. The numbers of impeachments are so small that you really have to strain yourself to make a coherent argument with any amount of rigor.
I believe that’s the joke.
You guys are whipped up in a frenzy over mere speculation. Is there any actual evidence to suggest corruption here? Trump constantly engages in brazenly corrupt behavior, but all I hear from the acolytes here are apologetics that strain the limits of credulity.
There is nothing “pro constitutional” about attempting to abrogate birthright citizenship via executive order. Whether or not the administration’s interpretation of the 14th amendment—which strains the limits of legal credulity—is actually valid, the idea that the executive can just decide one day that clear Supreme Court precedent actually isn’t binding anymore because “I really don’t like it!” is monarchist, not republican.
I’m not asking if it’s a good idea as a matter of public policy. Just that, as a strictly economic matter, the states would be better off if they didn’t trade with each other according to your thesis.
Why are you in favor of free trade between states? Wouldn’t a state want to keep all the “value” inside its borders?

That’s an obvious strawman of Hanania’s argument
