Question for our Surly Latinos—

 

If Mexicans/Latinos in America were anti-woman for a president, and those same Mexicans/Latinos love their home country and culture, then why are they so proud of Mexico’s first female president and how did she get elected? 

I've had this thought...  and this is where I'm at right now. (And I not just talking about Latinos)  Perhaps the story of America is that people who were NOT successful in their home countries or were so extreme that they needed a fresh start immigrated. They brought their collective disfunction here. (both in the past and present)   My family tree is almost entirely populated by religious zealots, Jacobites kicked out of Scotland by the victorious English, or later in the Highland clearances.   So let's just be honest, these weren't the best and brightest.  They were desperate losers.

People don't uproot their lives and make risky journeys because they have it so good at home and things are great.

So maybe the folks we have here are not of the same caliber and that's why we can't have nice things.

tl/dr Maybe we are the Dunning-Kruger of nations

 

Ledge shots anyone?

Yeah.  It's truly like none of y'all have been paying attention.  The Republicans can burn a building down, on live TV, then stand out front of the ashes and lament how the Democrats did this.

This meme is ironclad law now:

We won't know how ironclad it is until the next election. The Republicans could very well get their shit handed to them.

The voters who swung the election for Trump are fickle.

John Winger already covered this in the early 80s

I feel this is becoming painfully obvious.

I mean, look at the people who founded Texas.

There's nothing super complicated,  I just think about who benefits and put down some hedges (however small) aligned to how they benefit. The key thing is that the cost of the risk you take is a lot smaller than the upside if things go that way. 
You aren't fucking anyone over, though. It's more like buying an umbrella (or for that matter a gun), just in case.

From a cursory search, he seems like a quasi-intellectual who has a lawyers knack for trying to establish a niche for himself by reinterpreting what was settled many decades prior and he pretends to know the mind of the authors of the Constitution.     But his ideas seem to falter under rudimentary scrutiny from what I can tell.   If we want to be strict constitutionalists, then let's do it.  Tell me his address and I will open my mustard-gas manufacturing facility right next door to his home and kids.  I mean, where does the constitution claim I cannot manufacture chemicals and use industrial fans to direct the flow of the waste?   

His free speech stuff is equally idiotic.   Since the founders could have no predicted that there would be a megaphone of advertising, we should be allowed to slander/libel one another.  I am sure if I created AI images of him before and after raping animals and children he would have no problem with this, especially if I had the resources to blast it 24-7 on banners, websites, articles, and tv/radio-stations.   And then when someone caves in his skull with a metal dildo, I am sure he would be happy to know that I can wash my hands of this, because it is constitutionally protected speech.   

Administrative power rose up likely out of necessity to get experts in regions to help set standards because of the complexity and expertise required.  The idea of creating separations in drilling oil wells was largely because of SpindleTop where ignorant masses wanted to get their piece of the pie and in doing so, fucked everything up by overdrilling the formation, damaging the environment both in terms of water and air contamination.   Yeah, environmental concerns dating back to the early 1900s in this state was a thing.

My FIL and his wife (my wife's stepmom)voted for Trump. The stepmom is the daughter of immigrants from Mexico. Her brother is gay and her sister is bi (just got out of a relationship of several years with a woman). Stepmom's brother and sister told us their relationship with my FIL and his wife has completely changed. The stepmom's daughter was texting with me today saying she's furious and would love to cut them out of her life (I don't see it happening).

The FIL and stepmom have been bugging my wife and I to have a third kid. That obviously isn't happening anymore. They also have asked us to come over close to every other weekend so they can see their grandkids. I told my wife I was good with maybe coming over once a month or even less than that. Lots of FAFO going on.

Pics of sister, por favor.

Yeah, there's probably a good bit of malcontent among immigrants to the US, especially early ones.

Yeah, it's a matter of institutional competence. Congress lacks the expertise and "agility" to respond to many of the pressures of modern nationhood.  Yeah, it's kind of undemocratic, but so is the electoral college, so is the Senate. and so on and so forth.

By the time the next election rolls around they won't be free or fair.  Project 2025 out front should have told you.
