I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the bacon in the fridge for all those who cry out in hunger.

People should remember that one of the reasons Nazis are so bad at everything is because they’re Nazis. They’re ideological and part of their ideology is to purge anyone who doesn’t, and purging “undesirables”. This narrows their talent pool. They don’t - and can’t - understand this.

I own stocks… of beans and rice.

Ran a similar contemporaneous experiment, can report we have successful replication.

Exactly the nonanswer with a nonplan I expect from this dead end discourse. Third parties under the US system have no plausible path forward. They’re an actively counterproductive effort, time and resource sink. You’d get more actual power as a relatively mainstream faction inside a major party.

Cool. Which one can actually displace the bad party instead of handing victory to the worse party in this, a first past the post electoral system? Cause that math ain’t mathin’ so I’m hoping you can make it math instead of gesturing frantically in the direction of a better system we don’t have.

It’s both partially true and entirely unhelpful, so while I agree with their premise they can kindly shut the fuck up unless they have a better plan. The appropriate thing to append to responses like these is “So…?”

James Woods too I’m guessing.

She isn’t Ellisons enemy is the issue. CBS isn’t a liberal enterprise anymore to the extent it ever was. We’re plagued by over-mighty citizens and they want further consolidation, and will use the tools they’ve acquired to facilitate that.

Yeah, I wanna see if it actually happen and the terms. If it’s an agreement in principle like we had during china trade negotiations that’s worthless.

I always just assumed they were deferring the cost of getting training data and getting someone to watch the thing for trouble in the bargain. Never looked into it deeply.

Most being plurality, majority or supermajority in this context?

Can’t think of a lot of people I’d wish Texas on but she’s one of them.

I feel constrained to point out that crusaders also didn’t have a fantastic record against Muslim empires so there may be a layer of irony on top of whatever truth may be there.

We are on our third turnover of our entire city council and they are still trying to shove a $5b bond down our throats for an entertainment district and a college BASKETBALL stadium for the local uni, which notably is known for FOOTBALL and already has an extant BASKETBALL stadium.

If there exists a category of people who don't have due process rights, then either there's a process for determining who fits in that category or there isn't. In the first case due process is still being observed for everyone, and in the second it can be denied to anyone. There are no other options

If the nominee doesn’t get to use retribution they’re gonna need to do a ton of work to get me off my couch, because at that point we’re just delaying the inevitable.

I don’t think he can. He has the cult because he projects being fighty. If he gets bitchmade by the Dems while they have effectively zero leverage I think the fractures they’re currently seeing over free speech and Epstein deepen dramatically.

Oh god we might even get some reasoning.

Don’t get too excited, I said “might” for a reason.

I wonder how he would feel about blue state guards being used to solve red state drug and gun running problems. Toss a car dealership and you’re liable to find a kilo of cocaine. Rough up a few good ol’ boys for talking shit, make a few arrests for jimmy or bob being a felon with a gun.

The forward thinking would say that’s a good reason to find ways to expropriate mega donor money as fast as possible.

Note that I don’t “like” Buttigiegs politics - he’s far too corporate and conciliatory for my taste and my desire is to return what the red team has done to them with interest - but operating from a place of reason he’s probably the steady hand if you want to pull back on the civil war throttle.
