  1. Yarvin gonna debate a Harvard prof at Harvard. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/02/curtis-yarvin-harvard?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=gnews&utm_campaign=CDAQ7Zmh-KzLtuyrARjP6N7v0trm65YBKhAIACoHCAowwo6qCzDCmcID&utm_content=rundown
  2. Somewhat amazingly, Bean continues to retain/maintain his law license. https://www.texasbar.com/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Find_A_Lawyer&template=/Customsource/MemberDirectory/MemberDirectoryDetail.cfm&ContactID=315152 Notable: Mr. Peter Justin 'Audrey' Bean https://williamsontx.mugshots.zone/bean-peter-justin-mugshot-12-25-2023/
  3. What about Norman fucking Oklahoma. Yknow, that Storm Prediction Center that everyone relies on?
  4. Because it's all legislative intent, which is murky shit. And, taking your example to the extreme, maybe it was only intended to give citizenship to blacks who were born here. Nonetheless, I think the answer is relatively clear, but because it's relatively clear doesn't mean it's certain to come out that way, because Calvinball. Those who claim the outcome is certain according to their desired outcome without engaging in analysis are as bad as those who engage in bad analysis to obtain their desired outcome.
  5. Right, I posted a summary of it. There's also the matter of children of diplomats, who are also not citizens by birth. But that's all probably later-arising stuff.
  6. Explain, then, what the addition "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means. I'd suggest that it injects some ambiguity in it. I didn't say the argument was a winner, but it can't be dismissed quite as easily as you want to. You're really as bad as the Supreme Court justices you decry. You work your way backward from your desired result.
  7. I really like the idea of openings in the fuselage failing and him and any number of his sycophants being sucked out and free-falling to earth.
  8. Well, herein lies one of those annoying tiny nuggets of truth of post-modern conservatism: there is some rot in our culture, including rampant, silly materialism. Not that post-modern conservatism offers any solutions, especially given their base of billionaires created almost entirely on consumerism. But it makes for some sound bites here and there.
  9. Pretty good piece on lawfare on this. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-judge-dugan-case-is-more-complicated-than-it-seems Also goes into detail on the prior case against Mass judge Shelly Joseph that did a similar thing. She was investigated for a year, indicted (a far less hasty process than here), appealed motions to dismiss, and, ultimately dismissed by having Judge Joseph submit to the MA judicial conduct commission. That case was, of course, brought under the Trump administration, but continued by Biden, whose DOJ ultimately dismissed.
  10. These people are insufferable. We need to put them in camps.
  11. Same deal, hate communism and socialism, perfectly comfortable with dictatorships. What they fail to realize is that the problem with communism/socialism isn't so much the economics as the authoritarianism.
  12. And, the peak US-Chinese trade deficit was in 2018. https://www.statista.com/chart/17982/us-trade-in-goods-with-china-since-1985/ And it only dropped off because of Covid.
  13. Democrats need to blow this up, and jack it up his ass sideways for the next 3.5 years.
  14. I submit that he was caught in the lie. He was never ever going to admit that the "MS13" was added to the photo. But, you're probably right that he was going to lie in a similar baldfaced fashion for every other topic.
  15. As I age, I tend to prefer thin and crispy pizza, not always, but a lot of the time. I recently discovered that square-cut annoys my wife enough that she'd rather order something else than get a thin crispy pizza with square cut pieces. I think your cocktail napkin observation is correct, but I also suspect that the long pieces resulting from "pie-sliced" would probably break very easily if you attempted to eat them in the "normal" way.
  16. Well, if it really is "the economy stupid" (and it is, to a degree) and Trump fucks the economy in a way that hurts people like post-Covid inflation and without the jobs and other aspects of Biden's probably best-case economy, I think 2020 is reproducible. Yes, the base is irretrievable. But there's a reachable or convinceable middle. And, although the base will forgive Trump endlessly, I think a serious economic fumble makes it that much harder for the GOP to continue Trumpism without Trump.
  17. After reading the comments to the tweetthing (what do we call those?) I'm sure the journo felt he had more important and subtle points to make with Trump than that quite obvious piece of Trumpian bullshit. And he wound up letting him make a fool of himself anyway.
  18. Or enabling fascism? 😬😬
  19. So. M(marijuana) S(smiley, sorta) 1(cross?) and 3(skull?) I'm gonna have to hear some testimony on how that lines up. Probably backed up by some other examples. I suspect thats a load of shit.
  20. So this economic isolationism is like doing everything yourself: growing your own food, making your own clothes, buying locally and if it isn't local you don't buy it/can't have it. So, yeah, you don't let any non-locals make any money, but your life sucks and you can't do anything more productive, like innovate. No one really wants that.
  21. More deficit explosion!
