  1. yes. I can see a few flavors of things here. First, if you had a successful Jan 6th type event you may see issues with financial sanctions/restrictions (like with Russia) but who knows to what extent. On top of that I am worried about passport/citizenship actions that may limit your ability to be an American overseas. These are obviously loose worries now but I think the basic ingredients are there for these types of things to come into play in the next 5 years. My two cents.
  2. surprised this hasn't been mentioned. last night in FW (does this count as exploding?) https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/03/us/texas-haltom-city-deadly-shooting/index.html
  3. page 379. wow. I am legit packing up more of my shit now to take back overseas after seeing those few videos. there is no hope and I can only assume it will be 10X worse in 2024.
  4. good video explaining the coming food crisis. Most of this is known on this thread, but this video I think does a good job outlining some other factors outside of just the Uke/Russia war. Been a crisis in the making already from climate change and of course terrible people in charge doing fuck all. I am concerned for my family in the Med as there will certainly be a next level refugee crisis into Europe. Lebanon, Egypt, Yemen, all horsefucked.
  5. that tweet upstream ^ summarizing the entire SCOTUS is just unreal to read. complete one way destruction of norms, precedence, and minority protections in one fucking go. the devil is here and he is us. good. i say get it over faster.
  6. goddamn. i really try to avoid using easy out of calling them dumb but damn thats rough there ^
  7. SIAP - is there any understanding of where these folks came from? Mexico or further south? and/or any commentary recently that talks on the estimates/trends of where migrants are mostly coming from? I know in Mexico they have lots of issues with the rest of CAM on their southern border.
  8. wtf people. just get the dumb ass governments of the US and Mexico to agree to worker rights, get visas and make it legal. get it over with. enough. everything else is just people wasting fucking time and space. no CR. i am so fucking mad
  9. just fucking infuriating. these fucks can intimidate a parent who wanted to protect their kids. and people pay them to do this. while also paying them to not do their actual job. and the fucking beat rolls
  10. goddamn this country is taliban 2.0. or will be shortly.
  11. slowest civil war ever
  12. I think a big reason for the inaction in Uvalde is that it was a political event of sorts, not a tragedy. Humans can act quite heroically when the unthinkable happens. However, school shootings are no longer tragedies and no longer unthinkable. its BAU and everyone fucking froze. arming more people, teachers, security, more departments will simply add up to more inaction, finger pointing and dead kids. There is no solution to this crisis any longer as its firmly now 100% absorbed into the political culture war.
  13. wow. that is torbushian if i have ever torbushed. the complete lack of principled men in leadership is astounding, even for me, who gave us 20 years ago.
  14. paging battleshiptexan to the red surly hurricane phone
