Vice President JD Vance reportedly made a revealing statement about presidential authority: “The president has a lot of authority because, the reality is, who’s gonna stop him?”
Whether intended as an observation or a justification, the remark raises an important constitutional question: Since when does the absence of opposition determine the limits of presidential power?
The American constitutional system was designed around a different principle. Government authority comes from law, not simply from the ability to exercise power without resistance.
This debate becomes particularly relevant when considering the vice president’s association with postliberal political thought. Postliberalism challenges aspects of classical liberalism, including its emphasis on individual liberty, limited government, and political neutrality. Its advocates generally envision a more active government pursuing shared moral or social objectives.
That philosophy does not automatically imply authoritarianism. However, it raises questions about how individual rights and institutional restraints should function when government pursues those objectives.
Congress is not supposed to be an extension of the presidency. Nor is the Supreme Court supposed to reward presidents for appointing particular justices. Both institutions have constitutional responsibilities independent of any administration.
The deeper issue extends beyond Donald Trump or JD Vance. Every expansion of executive authority creates precedents that future presidents may inherit.
A constitutional republic cannot depend entirely on the goodwill of whoever occupies the White House.
The enduring question is not merely who has enough power to stop a president, but what legal limits the president must respect.

Of net energy, example oil . How many barrels of oil does it take to produce oil in terms energy

2026-10-17 16:12:20 UTC

@nprofile…ln6a Jeff Booth, a question about your technological deflation thesis.
If technology drives the cost of producing energy toward zero, what exactly is the unit of account?
Are we talking about energy becoming cheaper in Bitcoin terms, or the actual physical energy required to produce usable energy approaching zero?
And if Bitcoin’s proof-of-work security depends on expending real energy, how do these two ideas fit together?
I’m curious how you reconcile monetary deflation with the physical economics of energy production. #bitcoin

If you “voted for” the Monroe Doctrine…
• Can you explain it?
• Can you explain the military cost?
• Can you explain the history of coups and occupations tied to it?
If not, what you voted for wasn’t policy — it was obedience to Donald Trump.
Zap if education matters more than slogans ⚡️

2026-01-08 15:04:25 UTC

MAGA keeps saying “we voted for this” — meaning the return of the Monroe Doctrine.
Be honest:
Most Trump voters can’t explain what the Monroe Doctrine is, what it costs, or what it historically meant.
You didn’t vote for policy.
You voted for a cult of personality around Donald Trump.
Zap if you think supporting something you don’t understand isn’t patriotism ⚡️

America Smaller, Not Stronger
The idea of returning to the Monroe Doctrine is being sold as strength, but in reality it represents strategic retreat. The original Monroe Doctrine was never a flex of power. It was an admission of weakness. In the early 1800s, the United States lacked the military and economic power to compete globally, so it pulled back to the Western Hemisphere to buy time. It was a defensive pause, not dominance.
Trying to revive that logic today flips its meaning. Retreat would now be voluntary, signaling that America no longer believes it can compete in the world it helped build. Supporters frame this as realism, pointing to endless wars and mounting debt. But realism also means understanding that power vacuums do not stay empty. When America steps back, other powers step forward.
Letting rivals dominate entire regions doesn’t create peace. It reshapes trade rules, supply chains, and technology standards in ways that undermine American interests. It tells allies they are on their own and encourages instability that eventually pulls the United States back in under worse conditions.
Real strength isn’t drawing lines on a map and hoping rivals respect them. Strength is credibility. Shrinking influence, fewer allies, and reduced ambition aren’t renewal. They’re contraction. Great nations don’t grow stronger by leaving the field. They grow stronger by competing, adapting, and refusing to shrink their vision of what they can be.
