Good recap.

It's been a long time since those "nothing's happening" posts ... now we're in the "much poop hitting fan" stage. Hard to sort and make sense of everything, but things appear to be moving quickly...

Didn't Alta Dena "voluntarily" stop production of raw milk in the late 70's / early 80's because the gov't inspections were too burdensome? Have they begun producing raw milk again?

Hoping this spreads and gives precedent to others. I'm thinking of a business (a bar) in Burbank, CA that defied orders and even stayed open with a generator after the city cut their power, and only closed when the city put a chain-link fence around the entire building to physically prevent entry.

Good for this guy. Hope it spreads.

I know a mechanic that can help your minivan realize its trucking dreams: with a little makeover it'll be able to truck anything anywhere, truck around all day and all night ...

The trick is getting insurance to pay for it ...

My mom had many miscarriages before having 3 healthy babies, now all grown. It's a difficult situation.

24 is too young to be that desperate; there must be other things going on as well. Saying prayers for the family.

I recommend darkovelcek.wordpress.com for detox. Simple but straightforward, and strong. He's an absolute Q believer. Has a lot of common sense stuff to say about pregnancies, too, and how to keep healthy for mom and child. Website not well organized but it's easy to jump around from topic to topic.

Very noisy when they appear, but only after years of being totally quiet and invisible. Seems very apt to me.

Lots of double agents out there. Who's to say Ariel isn't right about his tactics, except that Flynn is flushing out paytriots as his deal to help WH? Lots of possibilities once you get into spy vs spy...

What kind of square sponge do you find at a bikini bottom? And what is Squid-ward spoken backwards, and what does his face look like? And why is there a squirrel named Sandy Cheeks?

There's plenty of strange messaging in Spongebob, regardless of gayness.

How is your sister now? Do you have tips or guides for successfully dealing with schizophrenia? I am going through this now with a recently-diagnosed family member.

Don't know. Congress specifically gave them an incredibly wide scope of operations, so there's lots of reasons not to like the CFPB in terms of government overreach, but I don't think that part was challenged in this case; just the funding mechanism which is rather unique.

No sweat.

It's a screwy arrangement for the CFPB regardless, and it deserves to be highlighted. It's a little like saying "we establish agency X and it will be funded by the bounty of the forest," meaning they've delegated the funding to a random variable. Except the Fed has infinite money, so not so random.

I think Congress routinely gives agencies separate funding mechanisms, like allowing the FDA to raise money from drug approval fees (*cough, cough ... drug approval application expenses.) On the other hand the Post Office has to beg Congress every time they raise the price of a stamp, or at least they used to.

Theoretically Congress set the boundaries of the CFPB's powers when it was established. In reality they gave them an open field with lots of latitude. Thinking about it, their purview is so large I wouldn't even be surprised if this agency started messing around with Gamestop.

Your headline is wrong. No they didn't bypass Congress nor is a precedent set up to bypass Congress.

Congress itself established it that way (and therefore they weren't bypassed), and the Supremes simply agreed that it was okay despite the unusual structure that Congress had established.

I'm no fan of the CFPB, but that's beside the point.

I believe this is largely true, but ... how do you prove a negative, especially with all the thick chaff thrown about in the info wars?

I've seen some documentation of the fakery, especially early on in each op, but it's hard to take a firm stand without being on the ground. Got anything more solid, or just the sauce of logic?
