    Clarence, I think we should go after Loving vs. Virginia next.  What do you think?

    Me being a chalupa and my wife being a redhead, Loving doesn't apply, correct?

    Give it a few weeks when it actually hits them. They will all suffer and then try to make you feel sorry for them. It is astounding how many of them didn't read the doctrine and are now just taken aback. I read it and thought, I really really don't like it and it will effectively end America, but I will survive. I feel dumb trying to fight for those that will suffer only to have them call me stupid all while I was trying to help them. Sometimes you have to let your kids touch the stove.

    I think there are enough people who are going to suffer who voted the right way to keep all of us busy.

    Do it with 3-4 months severance then 

    They've probably done the math, and they don't get enough takers unless they go more than six months.  

  4. I love wasting my time on these boards, but the vile pieces of shit that are doing Trumpian bidding sure are making it easy to consider spending more time in contemplation and actual engagement in service on behalf of the least of our brothers.

    This sounds fiscally irresponsible. 

    Well, it's very responsible if you want to shrink the federal government.  

    Build Back (from the rubble) Better.

  6. Anyone know of any churches/dominations who are trying to help?  Not sure if all the anti-sanctuary push stopped all those efforts or if some are trying to provide some kind of aid. 

    Sincerely, a lapsed churchgoer.

    Interesting non sequitur, but unlike undocumented workers, our economy doesn't depend on a steady supply of guns.

    Biden should have started a gun for deportation trade in policy.  You surrender an assault rifle and we'll send one of the not very fine ones home.

    And I have to admit it’s hard for me to post anymore on any of these subjects without being really fucking pissed while I’m doing it. Unfortunately, I don’t see that changing anytime soon. 

    As a way of protecting my somewhat fragile state of well-being, I'm really trying to be stoic about the issues coming forward, and really reaching as hard as I can to try to keep my emotions at bay, and I guess I'm posturing a stoic indifference, and that's grating I'm sure.  My daughter in DC really lost her shit, and I'm spending lots of time being a bit of an apologist, just so she doesn't burn too many bridges.    

    If I'm going to continue to post on these pages, I think I'm going to likely come across this way on other issues.  Will try harder.

    And not a word about your presidential immunity comment. Well done. 

    Thanks.  I would think most people would appreciate that presidential immunity and birthright citizenship are clearly aimed at pushing Constitutional interpretation to extremes. Whereas the power to acquire territory and lay tariffs won't require those.

    But foolish me, it did not seem at the time to be as disturbing as advocating rounding up people who have previously been considered American citizens, or our president threatening to seize Greenland - or make Canada (a sovereign nation), our 51st state -  or declaring tariffs on a country for refusing to let one of our deportation buses land.     

    Well you do sound foolish, when you group the first with the other three.

    Put another way, this is not a nothing burger. it is the start of an authoritarian regime.

    I thought the start was the presidential immunity decision. 

    But hey, if it hasn't started I'm putting an extra dash of bitters in my soda this evening.

    Do you remotely understand how your seeming dismissive attitude to the reality of the Constitution being shredded before our eyes appears to folks here?

    I haven't made any comments which are dismissive of the constitutional issue.  I brought up the policy issue of whether it makes sense to have an absolute birthright citizenship amendment.   

    I'm not bemoaning that you're dismissive of that, although you are absolutely, literally dismissive about that.

    I don't really care what appears to folks. although I'll accept blame for lack of clarity in typing or communicating.

    Until this "blatantly unconstitutional" (as the Reagan-appointed judge put it) crisis is over, I refuse to discuss policy like it's some simple matter of rational disagreement.

    Okay.  You seem hyped up on stare decisis and self-righteousness, so I won't push the issue.

    Are you seriously saying that the mouth breathers and Rogen Bros who have tuned out any news but Fox News and the spittle croaked musings from Trump’s mouth would’ve voted one way differently if we had five hours a day of the Democrat Knowledge Channel giving detailed analysis of why the right was wrong?

    I'm not saying that seriously. 

    Because I'm not remotely saying that at all.
