Shitty court day today.
1. Supreme Court TdA 7-2 ruling. The only out ito quickly deport these fuckers is to use some other "lawful means". 2 Karen Read trial. Incredibly biased Judge Bev is allowing changed, new, Commonwealth expert reports sent to the defense May 8 but received by them May 11th, three weeks into the actual trial. The changes shift the CW bullshit timeline midstream, changing their theory of the case. The defense has already cross examined witnesses, calling into question CW claims. Judge Bev allows the CW to modify whatever it wants, but locked the defense's experts (ARCCA) to their original testimony from the first trial. In spite of this, KR will be acquitted, or the jury will be hung. There were at least three jurors openly derisive towards the prosecution. One reporter described one jurir as having "resting smirk face". LOL Posted by: Deplorable Ian Galt at May 16, 2025 10:29 PM (ufFY8) 54

I started watching True Detective which stars Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey and the thing that strikes me out of the two of them is Woody has managed to this day to strike something of an iconic image - I saw him following up on his comments about the clot shot by pointing out that oh hey looks like he might have been right...huh? Vs McConaughey who decided to trash his reputation by trying to become some sort of moderate Democrat in an era where that no longer exists...

1. Peace talks in Istanbul. Ukraine demanded the usual immediate 30 day ceasefire. Russia countered with a demand for territory that they haven't taken yet. They did agree to keep talking and to have a big POW swap. 2. The Russians appear to have a fair sized foothold across the river in the south by Kherson. It will be a very big deal if the Ukrainians can't muster the resources to push them back. 3.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.

I agree that "86" means throw the bum out.
However, many Lefties are using it in posts, and in context it is clearly meant as a call to assassinate Trump. If someone says that Trump should be "ventilated", do you think that means they want to attach some duct work and a fan to Trump? OTOH, what Comey did is inflammatory, but not illegal. I would prefer calling off the legal beagles, and just mock him for being stupid and saying he had no idea what 86 means. Posted by: Pillage Idiot at May 17, 2025 12:31 AM (HlyYF) 279

However, many Lefties are using it in posts, and in context it is clearly meant as a call to assassinate Trump.
The only ways for third parties to "throw the bum out" are assassination or impeachment. Impeachment takes half the house and 2/3 of the Senate. Anyone think that's in the cards right now? Bueller? So, it's a call for assassination. OTOH, what Comey did is inflammatory, but not illegal. "Threatening the president of the United States is a federal felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871, which prohibits making threats to take the life of, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm upon the president, vice president, and other designated officials." - DDG AI Posted by: mikeski at May 17, 2025 12:38 AM (DgGvY) 288

Most US schools have a track circling the football field. Mine had a 3 foot high chain link fence separating the two. I was doing coach-required laps while the field guys were training on the grass. I'm running around the north end zone when I hear a shout- "Heads up!"
A javelin comes right through the fence about 5 feet in front of me. Thereafter, the javelin throwers weren't allowed past the South goal line. Posted by: buddhaha at May 17, 2025 12:40 AM (fQAHz) 290

Posted by: nurse ratched at May 17, 2025 12:38 AM (mT+6a) But it could be taken to mean that by some retarded Leftoid. We had plenty of references to organized crime using the term "86" to mean "get rid of, permanently". If Comey wants Trump removed legally, his only recourse is "impeach 47". Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 17, 2025 12:41 AM (sCUBT) 291
mikeski,
I don't think Comey's post rises to the level of a true threat. Trump's quote on Jan. 6th, "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." is likewise clearly not a true threat or incitement. I don't want to give an increasingly unhinged Left ammo to criminalize 1st Amendment protected speech for when they eventually get back into power.

Have to guess that Moscow has its key minimum territorial objectives, it sees them within reach with their glacial but inexorable advance in most places, and will dance around any ceasefire until it's checked those boxes. Doesn't seem there are any outside factors that would force them off this formula.
Meanwhile, it's reported that Syrian currency will now be printed in Germany and the UAE, not Russia. FWIW. Also reported - but puzzling - that the UAE will be taking over Russian bases in Syria. WTF? They going to put up a massive duty-free mall at Khmeimim airbase? Nice hotel and a water park like the Mina a Salaam at the Tartus naval base? Curious to see details on this one.

Well, I talked myself out of a parts sale today. Guy needed some automatic transmission parts for a '57 Golden Hawk. I had several of those Flightomatic transmissions on hand, so he came by for a look-see. We opened one up, and the front pump was different, also the valve body. I said, "I know who to call", and put in a call to a buddy in Edmonton. He had a short-tail Flightomatic sitting in his yard for 50 bucks, so I sent the guy up to him.
Better he gets the right parts, than try to make do with wrong ones. I spent the rest of the afternoon tearing the long-tail transmission down to save some hard parts, as some parts were too far gone to make rebuilding it an option. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 17, 2025 01:10 AM (sCUBT) 328

I have to say, I am quite delighted with the 20-volt cordless half-inch drive electric impact wrench I got off the refurb table at Harbor Freight last month. It's very light weight, about half what my air impact runs, and is much more convenient to use. Tore that old transmission down lickety-split, with next to no effort on my part. And it cost me a whole 29 bucks. I already had 20-volt batteries and charger for my HF drill-driver. Brought them home with me to run the impact, and will take all back with me next Fall.

Speaking of the weather, it was a bit oppressive this afternoon. The weather chicken entrail readers said this would likely be the hottest day of the year so far. For me, it topped out at 86.4F. The hottest day turned out to be April 5th, at 86.7F. Some neighbors were about the same, April 5th being the hottest. The dew point however, hit 76F, and that made it muggy, with the "real feel" of 95F, which was indeed the highest of the year to date. And, being the whimpy thing I am, I've had the A/C on for a while now. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at May 17, 2025 01:52 AM (w6EFb) 354

Looking at my weather station data sort of makes me sad now. I've just got a year's worth of data. My late cousin (who dropped dead Dec 13, due to sudden cardiac "event" -- but I'm sure what the real likely cause was), was going to run something once I had a year's worth of data. It was some sort of spot local forecast thing, I forget exactly, but he was looking forward to doing it for us right here locally. IIRC, it had to do with modifying the "wide forecast" based on all the forecast data, to the local station. It would allow one to predict daily highs and lows relative to the larger forecast. He had developed that particular method, and was interested in seeing how well it performed here. Only thing the station doesn't have is cloud cover data, but he was going to calculate that based on the solar radiation data.

BIL left this morning, after I fixed a few issues for him/his trailer. Maybe not in the *correct* ways, but just got things sealed & reattached well enough to last a little while.
He can't afford to fix all the problems, but we "put out the fires" and got him back on the road, to seek other arrangements. ![]() Lucky me! Hubby said BIL was angling to camp out at our place (indefinitely) for some expense-free living, like he's done to hubby/XW in the past.

And I got one of my air compressors back online today. Cheap Chicom belt stretched and slipped and had to get a new one. I got a bit wistful about that. Daddy would've been proud of me. He bought that compressor in the mid-70s. I was just a little kid. Now, it's basically just the pressure tank original, I replaced the motor and the pump itself back in the mid-2000s. The new pump and motor are probably a little less than 20 years old. The old pump lasted about 30 years. Second compressor, which I run together, is the same model, probably around the laste '70s. A neighbor, long since departed gave it to me back in the late '90s. And I've kept them both running all this time. Daddy taught me well.

![]() Mads Peter Iversen Photography Golden retriever puppy growing up. German-engineered technique (of course) allows roads to clear tons of rain water, letting the water drip down to under-road pipes. Dog was fascinated by seeing a dog on a trampoline on TV, so its owners bought it one. I know a lot of these "bush-build" videos are fake in the sense that they have a pickup truck with a generator and lots of power tools just off-screen, but this is neat. Seal has massive crush on a diver. The bestest fetch-dog in the world. ICYMI: Camel just wants to make friends with horses, who are skeptical because he's so weird-looking. Big snake. So it's an AI "Cheapfake," as Cheapfake Tapper would call it. But it's a visualization of a legend about a giant snake, that legend also being pure bullshit. But this post nevertheless illustrates an important point about... something. The Pete "Maverick" Mitchell of drone operators. Sea otter (?) pops up in a vent in the ice. Dogs that talk the talk but can't walk the walk. Huskies start their Drama Classes early. Summer's coming. Dog enjoys the water slide. Goofus and Gallant. Spare a thruppence for film with added color and ambient sound of Victorian London in 1901, guv'nor?

What happens if water freezes in the porous road structure? Does it crack the whole thing apart? And, does the porosity make it clog with particles eventually? Also, there is a increasing problem with streams and rivers flooding in regions where a lot of pavement has been laid down. Dropping the water into pipes doesn't fix that. It was already going to pipes. Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at May 16, 2025 08:13 PM (fRwPn) 73

>>They make shears that can cut steel I-beams. Ought to be possible to make one that could shear strips off windfan blades.
They've been making boats around here out of carbon fiber for years. Virtually every high tech racing sailboat is carbon fiber and not just the hull but pieces like steering wheels and rudders and lots of other bits and pieces. Cutting it isn't the hard part. Removing the resins and other fibers and then reshaping it has not be solved yet. It's amazingly strong, in one direction anyway, but also brittle and not easy to repurpose cheaply.

Those porous roads don't work. The don't last because they are very intolerant to freezing and high pressure loads.
They say granite makes it stronger, but I am betting they are only talking about abrasion and not load. The granite will have the same problem as all porous surfaces with the reduced bonding area between the grains of aggregate making them both weak, and non-robust. That is, when they start to crack they just fall apart. We need to go back to cobblestones -- Roman tech was peak roadbuilding.

The highest form of recycling would be to chop them up into little pieces and burn them.

>>Recollection has it that a well known powerboat/yacht company also tits up because of the luxury tax.
Boat building has been a thing in Rhode Island since the colonies. Some of the most well known sailboat builders in the country built them here. And then Democrats decided that we needed a luxury tax to punish rich people forgetting who built those boats. It devastated the boat building industry here and sent some builders who survived to places like Taiwan where the tax didn't apply. John Kerry, who voted for the idiotic tax, had $4 million dollar sailboat build in New Zealand to avoid the tax. Because he's a leftist scumbag who is not just stupid but doesn't give a shit about what his policies do. Also, scumbag. That can't be emphasized enough.

Posted by: Please Place The gp ---- The very worst part is that in the GND and previous, the tax credits were for 10 years after being built or "renovated." So the windfarms have been replacing turbines and blades that are only 10 years old, even though they should last 25 years or more depending on design and use.

There's a whole book about the "red sea scrolls". Papyri from the Old Kingdom on how the pyramids were at least quarried, if not built. There's even a diary by Merer who oversaw the quarry.
Herodotus' story is funnier though. The "father of lies" claimed that one of the pyramids was built because daddy Cheops pimped out his own princess for funding. Posted by: gKWVE at May 16, 2025 09:03 PM (gKWVE) 191

Game's not over yet of course, but what's looking like the impending failure to completely and aggressively zero out every bit of the looting ("green new deal" subsidies) by Congress is kind of a big deal. Or not, if GOP performance since 2010 is considered.

JackStraw: at least we got to learn about "inertia". Not being an energy buff I didn't know what that meant, but apparently it's a thing with steam (that is, heated from coal or gas - or nuclear) turbines.
Turbines spin. When heat goes out, they still spin - that's inertia. This offers a little bit of time before the workers can turn the heat back on (preferably without blowing everything up like at Pripyat but that's another story). When the wind no blow, and the windmill stops - that's all the inertia you get. The electricity turns off IMMEDIATELY. As Abbott's serfs learnt in Texas a few years back.

One of my favorite place on the planet is Block Island. Don't go there. You will hate it. Seriously, horrible place. o somewhere else. The island used to get virtually all power from an undersea cable from the mainland and had some of the highest electricity rates of anywhere in the US. A few years ago they put up a few turbines east of the island right in the middle of some prime fishing and sailing ground and it did bring down the rates a bit at the expense of fishing, sailing and beautiful views. Bad trade. And that's one of the instances where someone can even attempt an economic case. I hate offshore wind turbines with a passion. They are a blight and an economic boondoggle.

Isn't the actual "cycle" of all "renewable" energy sources simply the tax credit schedule and calendar? Nothing to do with market factors or actual technical realities?
Almost as if - go with me here just for a second - these things are completely artificial creations of government activity and distortion? And of course they meet none of the criteria of an actual "public good" (a key distinction that's apparently some kind of classified thing, as not even "skeptics" of guvamint boondoggles seem to use it or understand it).

Obsidian is the best natural glass. In Arizona my dad and grandpa knew a place in the desert where they could dig up “Apache Tears” in a volcanic ash bed. They were large drop shaped pieces of obsidian, they were made when lava was blown up into the air by a violent explosion, and it would cool into glass as it flew threw the air.

Okay, the porous asphalt is neat, but it makes me wonder about its durability. What happens when it drops below freezing? When it snows? Or sleets and then gets colder?

I still see the hateful DEI charity-hire Jemelle Hill on TV, pushing anti-white racism. technology sista (aspiring)A Democrat running for office in a very MAGA Virginia district needs you to know what she gets up to at night. Specifically: She's a swinger, baby! Rorrer, a Democratic candidate for Virginia's House of Delegates in the 47th district, revealed Saturday on social media that she is married and ethically nonmonogamous, meaning she and her husband consensually date other couples together. "In politics, people love to dig up the unexpected and spin it into a spectacle," the 47-year-old wrote on social media. "I don't do shame, and I sure won't give anyone else the opportunity to tell my story." Rorrer told HuffPost on Tuesday that while no one was threatening to out her, she believes word of her lifestyle would have gotten out of her inner circle in Stuart, Virginia, her hometown with a population of just over 1,000.A professor was arrested by Yale police for a "racist" statement she never made. I never thought I'd end up in handcuffs and a jail cell for something I didn't say. But last May, police in New Haven, Conn., arrested me -- because a parking attendant falsely claimed I had used a racial slur against him nearly a year earlier. I denied it. I asked the cops to check the parking lot's surveillance video. They didn't -- and the state charged me first with disorderly conduct, then with three counts of breach of peace in the second degree. It took almost a year, tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and endless stress before the nightmare ended on March 27, when the prosecutor finally dropped all charges. Why? "Insufficient evidence," "inconsistencies," "credibility issues," video that "clearly contradicted" the accuser's claims -- and a possibility that I wasn't even the right person. The judge dismissed the case. If this can happen to me -- a First Amendment advocate with resources, legal counsel and a public reputation to defend -- it can happen to anyone. In 2011, while still a student at Yale University, I founded the Buckley Institute, named for conservative hero William F. Buckley, Jr. Our mission is to promote intellectual diversity and freedom of speech at Yale. For the past decade, we've hosted an annual Disinvitation Dinner featuring speakers who have been disinvited from and disrupted on college campuses. And now here I was, facing not merely an attempt at cancellation, but actual criminal charges that could mean prison if I was convicted. It did not exactly feel like a coincidence. The interest in my case seemed to have more to do with what the Buckley Institute represents than anything I ever did, or was accused of doing. ... They made the malicious assumption that those who defend free speech do so to say offensive things. The case was a farce from the start: There were no threats, no violence -- just a made-up accusation, rubber-stamped by a system that didn't bother to check basic facts before putting someone's life through a meat grinder. When the state finally obtained the video footage I had asked the police to view before arresting me -- footage that had been accessible all along -- it showed me, on multiple dates, calmly parking, getting out of my car and walking away. No confrontation, not even any interaction, with the accuser. No slurs. No drama. Yet for nearly a year, I lived under a cloud of suspicion. My experience should terrify anyone who values free speech and due process. ... This wasn't about justice. It was about ideology run amok. When the woke campus mindset infects the criminal-justice system, fairness takes a back seat to political influence and pressure. The parking attendant's attorney suggested as much when he objected to the prosecutor's decision to drop the case by bemoaning "the caste system in this country" in court. The real systemic problem? It's not bias. It's cowardice. It's a criminal-justice system that rushes to judgment, punishes the innocent and works on a sluggish timeline to correct its own mistakes, regardless of the cost to the accused. If this is what free speech in America now looks like, we're all in more trouble than we realize. It doesn't matter if you commit the offenses the left imagines you committed, because if they even imagined you did it, you crossed the line. The very fact that they can imagine you doing something means that there's some vibe you're giving off that much be punished and purged until you denounce your vibes. A district judge in California of all places has ruled that schools must provide parents an opt-out for gender indoctrination. Fox 5 San Diego reported: Carlos and Jenny Encinas have two boys who attended La Costa Heights Elementary school in the Encinitas Union School District in the Southern District of California. In May 2024, their fifth-grader's teacher read his class the book, My Shadow is Pink, which urges children to question their own gender identity. Following the reading, their son was forced to watch a read-aloud video of the book with his kindergartener "buddy" as part of the school's mentoring program. He was then required to participate in an activity where he drew the kindergartener's shadow, using the color that "represents" him. Featuring a boy who sees his shadow as pink instead of blue, My Shadow is Pink promotes the idea that children can change their own gender, encouraging kids to find the color of their shadow described as "your inner-most you." The story displays the boy learning to cope with being true to his inner self, starting when he decides to wear a dress on his first day of school. His dad, originally full of "anxiety and stress" about the issue, changes his mind and puts on a dress too. He encourages his son to wear a dress to school, and if anyone doesn't like it, then "they are the fool." The Encinas' fifth-grade son, a strong Christian, was very uncomfortable with being used as a mouthpiece for views contrary to his beliefs. Carlos approached the school with two requests: notification when sensitive topics would be read in school and an allowance for his children to opt-out of participation. Unfortunately, both requests were denied.The judge issued an injunction ordering the school to provide parental notification and opt-outs for concerned children. But this is only a temporary injunction; no idea if the shithole state of California will respect it. See the article for the whole story. Our genius media: ![]() He started off the list with the phrases "communities of color" and "people of color." He said that in Democrats' zeal to prove how not racist they are, these phrases actually are a bit racist because they imply that all minorities are identical and not unique. But if Democrats stop using these phrases, will they then have to concede that not all minorities think alike? A tall order indeed. Next on the list was the phrase "generational change." Carville asked, "Why do you want to limit the appeal of your message to younger people? ..." Plenty of Americans of all ages want some drastic change. Next on the verboten list was the word "structural." Carville stated the obvious: "We're not going to attack the structural issues in the world right now." I would add two things: one, it sounds pretty elitist, and two, what are structural issues anyway? The next one should definitely be on the chopping block: the word "equity." Again, an elitist-sounding word. What Joe Sixpack kind of guy rambles on about equity? Carville again laid a truth on Democrats, saying, "People basically don't know what it means, and if they do know what it means, it looks like you tried to force an outcome."Other words Democrats need to stop saying: "community" and "oligarchy." See the link for that. A transgender -- a man pretending to be a woman -- complains that 23 and Me reported, accurately, that he has a Y-chromosome, as men have. He wants to know if there's a special 23andMe which will lie to him and tell him he has XX chromosomes. ![]()

Hate to tell you but there was a scandal years ago as some like 23andme and another big testing DNA company put in small amounts of random race and ethnicity percentages in the report. They claimed on camera that they did it in order to make people less racist or to mess with certain people submitting their dna for analysis.
... Posted by: whig --------- Also, DNA does not work like that. In most cases they can just indicate some probability that a person is from a certain region. It is more accurate for populations where we have a lot of data (Europe) but not so good on the fringes and when it says "5% from region x", that only means that *most* people with that genetic signature come from region x, but not all. And, as you said they bent the numbers to make clients think they were all part black or part something else just to fuck with them.

Another was a similarly crazy over-thinker and the 2 others were non-thinkers. 3) The rejection was pure "It's all hypotheticals!!!! How do we know he weighed 170 pounds at the time?

He's lucky he didn't burst into flames, movie car crash style However, I have to disagree that it's wrong for jurors to draw their own conclusions. Jurors are supposed to be sure that the defendant is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Nothing says that doubt has to come from the defense attorney. The attorneys may see it as a game, but the jurors are supposed to carry out justice. No one shouldd go to prison just because his public defender is a fuckup. Now in this case it sounds like the guy was absolutely guilty, but it sounds to me like your fellow jurors were attempting to raise reasonable doubt. They obviously didn't convince you, but that doesn't make what they did wrong. Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at May 16, 2025 07:15 PM (W5ArC) 145

> if the partner knows about it and gives consent.
Many years ago I knew a Catholic couple that had about 5 or 6 kids. The wife (reportedly) absolutely refused to use any kind of birth control, and also refused to perform any...alternative activities, so she cut him off entirely. However, she told him that if he chose to commit adultery, she would forgive him. That seemed quite bizarre to me, but it seemed to work for them.

155 spotting character actors. I play a game with John Ford movies, spot Jack Pinnick. Jack was part of Ford's entourage, a former serving Marine and so so actor. Also one of Ford's on location drinkin' buds. You'll spot him in speaking and non speaking rolls. When Ford went to war he took Pinnick along as a Navy Warrant Officer, using him on the camera crews. He was also Ford's on call military advisor. Filming at West Point, Pinnick spotted a bit of heraldry on the wall and informed West Point the swords were upside down. They gave a Harumph, and then found out Pinnick was right.

I looked her up and...let's just say she's not going to make anyone want to join the poly club based on her looks. I do notice their is a big push for this now though - I see videos of "happy polygamous" groups all over over social media. They take two formats A) One big'un with a bunch of soibois living with her and they all look miserable B) One guy with two decent looking women.

The word "Hallelujah" is a transliteration of a Hebrew phrase, specifically הַלְּלוּ יָהּ (hallelu Yah).
This phrase is composed of two parts: הַלְּלוּ (hallelu): This is the second-person masculine plural imperative form of the Hebrew verb hillel (הִלֵּל ![]() יָהּ (Yah): This is a shortened form of the Hebrew name for God, YHWH (often translated as Yahweh or Jehovah). Therefore, the derivation of "Hallelujah" is a command or an exhortation: "Praise ye Yah!" or "Praise the Lord!" The term is used extensively in Jewish Hallel prayers and has been adopted into Christian liturgy and worship as an expression of praise and gratitude to God. The Greek transliteration, ἀλληλούϊα (allēlouia), found in the Septuagint and the New Testament (notably in the Book of Revelation), is the basis for the Latin form "Alleluia," which is also widely used in Christian traditions.

Posted by: t-bird at May 16, 2025 08:14 PM (/GaVB) Left-Wing Supreme Court Rules 7-2 That Trump Cannot Deport Terrorist Illegal Aliens Without a Cumbersome Lengthy TrialBy what right are they here? They have zero legal right to be here, but the soon-to-be-ignored-and-chastened Supreme Court says we have to have trials to deport people who are illegal aliens with no right to even be present. Roberts and all of Trump's liberal-leaning, Federalist-Society-certified saboteurs voted with the liberal bloc. When Republican AGs sued Biden over his illegal policy of ignoring the law and dissolving the border, the Supreme Court tossed out their lawsuit, ruling that the President had plenary power to conduct the foreign policy of the country (of which immigration enforcement is a part) and therefore the courts had no power to restrain him. Now that Trump is deporting these Undocumented Americans, the Court reverses itself and says "You bet the courts have power to overrule the President in his conduct of foreign policy." Disgusting -- and destabilizing.
Here's your notice: Get the fuck out. I don't usually think it's good for the president to just say "Enough of this shit" and flat-out ignore all Supreme Court rulings, but this ruling makes that a legitimate option. "The Supreme Court has made its ruling, now let them enforce it." -- Andrew Jackson Whoops, I wrote "William Jackson." I'm the sharpest, best version of Ace in history.

Their plan, as far as I can tell is thus -
1. Push Trump to ignore some court ruling. Courts are immune from prosecution or consequences, so it does not matter how absurd and they will escalate until he ignores the courts. 2. Impeach. So expect more courts to get more absurd; it is not about the law, but about their strategy and they will cut down every law in the land if need be as they think they have a higher goal.

I halfway suspect this is kabuki theater by the Trump administration to get the court to concentrate on the thumb (AEA) and get knocked out by the punch (ordinary deportation measures).

A caution - Trump isn't strong enough yet to openly defy the Court; he would risk a coup by the Democrats and significant elements of the military; also many still in the bureaucracy. Hegseth and others need at least 6 more months, preferably a year, to clean out and replace all of the anti-Trump elements in their various agencies, and Trump must be quite careful until he gets to that point.

Posted by: Elric the Bladiest Blade More fun to light hair on fire for some I guess. Alito's dissent was properly snarky for what the court did here and he pointed out how the court is ignoring its own procedures and rules in order to keep these gang members in the US. Kavanaugh's concurrence was at least constructive in that he claimed that Scotus should go ahead and give a substantive decision rather than the fan dance with the 5th.

--- I'm inclined to agree with you. However, "minimal due process" in the Midnight Order has become "entitled to the full suite of due process rights the same as a citizen" at the trial courts.

In general the courts are losing substantial credibility with the people. They’re are unevenly wielding power they do not have and ScOTUS isn’t even stepping in hard on clear excesses like the nationwide injunction issue. What ACB did during oral arguments was shocking and seemed to suggest she believes the lower courts have authority over the president. I don’t even know what to say about that. But the fact we’ve watched the courts pass on clear election fraud, J6 persecutions, COVID lockdowns, etc. is fresh in many peoples minds. Now we are watching the judiciary used as a lever to slow down clearly constitutional power exercised by the elected president. These courts don’t deserve an ounce of respect. None.

whig you're much more an expert court-watcher, but seems to me SCOTUS beclowned itself long long ago.
The idiot Sandra O'Connor ruling. The comically ridiculously Kennedy vomitus in Hamdan v. Bush. And on, and on. Distinguishing here between SCOTUS usurpation of authority far beyond what common sense and the constitution give it, and where the court just makes s**t up within its own four corners of legal interpretation, ignores law and the constitution, in farcical fashion.

But one of the most pernicious and ridiculous ones - the selective, utterly political and lawless, and self-dealing worship of the judiciary by the legal cult - still has an iron grip. The US federal judiciary probably needs to have its power reduced by 75% - and this has been true for decades.

96 In another case... the Military created military zones along the border, where they can enforce law as its a military installation.
Arrested 82 illegals for trespassing... but a Fed Judge is dropping all the charges because even though there are signs in English and Spanish on the property lines, that is not enough legal notification that they would be trespassing... And if they didn't know they were trespassing, they suddenly get to ignore the law. Posted by: Romeo13 Ok, another judge that doesn't uphold the law, so drop the fines, release them from detention for trespassing and then immediatly process their deportation.

The deportation trials can be handled summarily by Article II judges (glorified clerks). The Supreme Court is compassed by Article III. They essentially have no say in the matter, according to the Constitution, and as such must be ignored.

ha ha while Epstein was banging kids on his own little Island Trump was making friends on Islands in the Middle East.. ha ha Suprise Bitches !!!! This ME tour aint happening in just 100 days of a term. Trump has deep routs there for sure.
While out on a Friday night in the 80's we went to Pier 66 in from Penrods on the Beach in Ft. Laud to check out Trumps massive yacht Princess. Trump purchesed the Princess formerly: The yacht was built in 1980 for Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, then called the Nabila after his daughter. During that time it was used as a setting for the James Bond film Never Say Never Again. When Khashoggi's business empire began to crumble the yacht was repossessed as part of a loan default in 87 and was then bought by Trump for a "cheap" $30 million, renaming it The Princess. For Trump the boat was a show of lavishness, personally he doesn't even like boats, he just wanted a new toy to show how rich he was. He didn't have it long though, he sold the boat in 91 to try and stave off bankruptcy, selling it to Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal for $20 million who renamed it the Kingdom 5KR. As far as I know Al-Waleed still has it. https://tinyurl.com/y Posted by: Captain Fantastic Gumby was assassinated at May 16, 2025 05:49 PM (ey6uh) 134

I keep saying, Trump needs to find a Judge Roy Bean.
Someone willing to issue any and all orders that Trump wants. Willing to abuse and stretch the law with abandon. Willing to assert jurisdiction over EVERY case against Trump; the instant they are filed "I order this transferred to my court." (I mean, ffs, if a judge in MA can assert jurisdiction over someone detained in TX?) Within 5 minutes of this order, he'd issue a nationwide injunction that "sufficient notice" is whatever the President decides. And over-rule every single appeal court and the Supreme Court with a simple order: "The decision rendered above has no merit, no basis, and no authority--the President is not required to follow it."

So, what constitutes notification?
show up at the door, tell the illegal: "Hey, pal. You're going to be deported in 12 hours. To make sure you don't run away you will be detained until your plane, bus, trebuchet affects your removal from this country." Or, does it have to be something like: "Hey, Jack. We're coming back in 12 hours to depart you. Now, make sure you don't run away. Because then we'll just have to inform you again and you'll probably run away again. Be good! See you in 12."

Posted by: night lifted ====== I think he lured Scotus into a trap of their own making. And Roberts is too stupid to realize it because he values process over substance. Kavanaugh in his concurrence was warning Roberts about that ironically. He wanted immediate grant of cert and resolving the issue this term rather than waiting on the 5th Circuit and the plaintiffs inevitably seeking a new writ. And that simply means that the Tren members sit longer in detainment and cannot commit much in the way of new crimes until this is resolved. Already less murders in Aurora and Denver as a result.

The trick is to play the game. Instead of housing illegals in 5 star hotels and giving them debit cards, house them in barracks style tents in a fenced in enclosure in the middle of the desert. Make it bare bones livable, not somewhere someone would like to be. Follow the court's ruling but make sure the illegals would much rather go back home than stay in the "holding facility".

So these Illegal Venezuelan gang members held in Texas showed up for their asylum hearings?
Posted by: polynikes Two separate situations. The Tren gang members were swept up off the street by immigration officers and detained before being deported. The application of the AEA to their cases meant that Trump could (under past case law and the statute itself) deport them without a hearing. Scotus said not so fast in April and renewed this injunction until the 5th rules upon how much notice and due process the party should get and whether the plaintiffs met the necessary conditions for a TRO. Then the Scotus court may reconsider the whole thing if the plaintiffs or government asks for a writ of cert. That is why Kavanaugh said, why not go ahead and resolve the issue now before recess instead of sending it back to the 5th. Posted by: whig at May 16, 2025 06:08 PM (ctrM5) 240

The particularly egregious part of this order is that it relies upon facts not in the record.
Which is absolutely forbidden. The assertion that they have no remedy if they are deported is flat-out false and there is no record of facts below to support it. 1) there has been no final ruling in the Maryland Man case, so it is improper for ANY court to rely on any facts from that case. 2) there are no facts that are before any court that anyone wrongfully deported has no remedy--that is an allegation, an assumption, a bare assertion by the plaintiffs--but it has not been given a final ruling or finding of fact.

Posted by: fd at May 16, 2025 06:11 PM (vFG9F) Suspending HC gives the left a talking point. There is nothing stopping Trump from detaining every illegal alien in the country, except for the lack of jail space and the cost. Use the low cost alternative in the desert and make it so uncomfortable (but still humane) that the illegals will line up for their ticket home. Build the tent city close to an airstrip for efficient removal. Posted by: jwest at May 16, 2025 06:15 PM (JRfbP) 271

Sorry for my confusion. So are you saying that you can no longer automatically deport illegals that fail to show up for their asylum hearings?
Posted by: polynikes ====== No, sorry, I was not clear, AEA aka alien enemies cannot be deported under that act. Those others that have ignored deportation orders or lost default orders can still be dumped outside the US without any due process as they already had that.

I've always contended that self-deportation is the only practical solution. Really not too hard, because all you have to do is provide a strong incentive to leave. Cut off all access to public aid and employment, no hotels and meals, no medicaid, no food stamps. Second, fine any US citizens who knowlngly employ illegals. Deport any non-citizens who do so. When they're hungry and sitting beside the road, come along with a free ride to the border. Sure it would be "heartless" and cruel, but that's why they call me Ruthless.

Accordingly, in J. G. G., this Court explained—with all nine Justices agreeing—that “AEA detainees must receive notice . . . that they are subject to removal under the Act . . . within a reasonable time and in
such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief ” before removal . . . The Government has represented elsewhere that it is unable to provide for the return of an individual deported in error to a prison in El Salvador, see Abrego Garcia v. Noem, No. 25−cv−951 (D Md.), ECF Docs. 74, 77, where it is alleged that detainees face indefinite detention, see Application for Injunction 11. The detainees’ interests at stake are accordingly particularly weighty. Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, de- void of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster. But it is not optimal for this Court, far removed from the circumstances on the ground, to determine in the first instance the precise process necessary to satisfy the Constitution in this case. We remand the case to the Fifth Circuit for that purpose. [To be continued] Posted by: Sharkman at May 16, 2025 06:24 PM (/RHNq) 304

2/2
To be clear, we decide today only that the detainees are entitled to more notice than was given on April 18, and we grant temporary injunctive relief to preserve our jurisdiction while the question of what notice is due is adjudicated. See post, at 13 (ALITO, J., dissenting). We did not on April 19—and do not now—address the underlying merits of the parties’ claims regarding the legality of removals under the AEA. We recognize the significance of the Government’s national security interests as well as the necessity that such interests be pursued in a manner consistent with the Constitution. In light of the foregoing, lower courts should address AEA cases expeditiously. [Sharkman here again]: So, they get more than 24 hour notice, and a chance to file a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, which is what every illegal already gets. And Our Black-Robed Usurper Masters did recognize that Trump has a strong interest in getting these things done quickly. Calm down, everyone. Posted by: Sharkman at May 16, 2025 06:28 PM (/RHNq) 317

Think he said the reverse. If you skip a proceeding all bets are off if they catch you.
Posted by: Oldcat Correct. I said it poorly because people are conflating today's AEA decision with general immigration law. People who do not show up to their deportation hearing get a default deportation order as the due process part of deportation is satisfied. There are some last ditch sort of quasi appeals before shoved over the border like if you showed up late, there was some mistake in mailing the order, lawyer mistakes, etc. Recently Scotus added an additional stupid qualification in deportation cases regarding business days and required these orders be tolled (counted) subtracting weekends and holidays which is pointless and stupid. The majority doing this shit for illegals when they ignored American citizens in Jan 6 being denied speedy trials, confrontation of witnesses, discovery, etc. need to be removed from office along with their DC lower court butt buddies. The whole circuit, like Roberts, is a rancid POS mess. Posted by: whig at May 16, 2025 06:31 PM (ctrM5) 321

Everyone put out the fire on your head. I actually read the decision. It does not say what’s being reported. It has nothing to do with the merits or even say that a trial is necessary. It says only that detainees be given some kind of notice they are being deported, rather than just disappearing them middle of the night.

Posted by: hurricane567 at May 16, 2025 11:27 PM (Vc6IY) This Guy Read Jake Tapper's Cover-Up Book So That You Can Boycott ItFinally, a left-winger admits the obvious and undeniable. So far, most discussion of the book has focused on incidents from later in Biden's term and 2024 campaign: not recognizing Clooney, calling Sullivan "Steve." But arguably the most damning new reveal came much earlier, during the 2020 campaign, when Biden was not yet president. 2/You don't say!
The authors report that in 2020, Biden's staffers tried to get videos of him speaking with voters about key issues on Zoom for campaign content. But "he couldn't follow the conversation at all." A special team was tasked with editing *hours of footage* into usable *minutes*. 3/Tapper and Thompson admit this, but then also insist that it was only 2023/2024 when Biden started getting really bad -- in order to limit the blast radius of this bomb to just those two years. They don't want to admit that Biden's senility was obvious to everyone else during the 2019 primary. Which interview? Trust Jake Tapper to hide the name of whatever "journalist" participated in this sham interview, because he's a tribal bitch who thinks his job as a "journalist" is only to promote and defend "journalists." The book goes on to catalogue many disturbing incidents during Biden's four years. Yes it got worse in 2023/2024, but it was bad from the beginning: cabinet meetings were described as "terrible and at times uncomfortable" from the onset. Biden used notecards. Canned responses. 7/That is not new news. That was reported years ago. The picture the authors paint is of a president who was unable to adequately discharge the duties of his office from the very beginning of his term and certainly was unfit by the end of it: by 2024 cabinet secretaries confessed he couldn't be relied on in an emergency. 8/ Moments throughout the book are stunning, but only one made me gasp. It was not something Biden did, but that one of his aides said about his 2024 run: "He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years--he'd only have to show proof of life every once in a while." 9/ In other words, the 2024 plan--for this aide at least--was to try to get a mentally unfit president elected for four more years, and then to hide him from the public while unelected staff ran the country. That's an attempt to undermine democracy and defraud the American public. 10/ As for the DNC, they not only failed to stop this train wreck but greased the tracks: they nixed a century-old primary schedule to put SC first, a strong state for Biden, under the false pretense of "uplifting Black voters." All to reelect a man the public thought was unfit. 11/ There's more in my article, much more in the book, but if you find yourself dismissing this because Trump is worse, or downplaying it as "just an old man being old" or "just some bad days," I do think you should ask yourself: is that really where you want to lower the bar to? 12/ It is not acceptable for a man who has some good days and some bad days to control the nuclear codes. It's not acceptable for a man who runs US foreign policy to have memory lapses or need teleprompter for basic questions or only be able to work reliably from 10am to 4pm. 13/Oh right because you're saying Donald Trump was also senile. In order to offer up a "Both Sides Are Equally Guilty" defense. Well, he is a leftwinger. His article is at the Regime rag The Atlantic. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Tyler Austin Harper
@Tyler_A_Harper I wrote about Biden and the new book. As the reporting in "Original Sin" makes clear: this story is bigger than just the 2024 campaign. It was more than a year or two of decline. We need to confront the truth: Joe Biden never should have been president of the United States. ======= "But we should never confront the truth that the entire media apparatus and the entire Democrat Party pushed him from January 2020 on because party politics was more important than the nation. Doing that would force me to confront the fact that I'm an empty-headed partisan, and that would break my brain."

In a normal pre-Trump world, this would be investigated by the House & Senate, the DOJ/FBI, and a presidential commission. But, alas, Trump is in the Oval.

I’ll take a different tact, and call me crazy if you must. Ready? Tapper is a big distraction as is the whole discussion of Biden’s cogency. The real issue is- how did he get elected in the first place? What specifically happened during that election which ended up putting him on the White House?
There are so many irregularities in the 2020 election that it’s staggering. Yet, nobody is talking about it. Nobody is investigating it. Nobody is fixing it. Ultimately, nobody is saying it was illegitimate. Even the Republican cowards are running from that discussion. Why, and why all this gum flapping about Tapper? Is he part of the diversion? I think so. Posted by: Marcus T at May 16, 2025 04:32 PM (NlXs1) 22
OK, Joe Biden's been senile since 2020. Fine. Answer this, ye progressive Dem party hacks: Who the f#$k was running the country? Who made the decisions to bug out of Afghanistan, who decided to turn the FBI on parents concerned about the school environment their children were trapped in, who opened the border and let in anyone who could say "Asylum!" with no questions asked?

So who exactly the hell was it? Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at May 16, 2025 04:30 PM (a1415) There was a fascinating story that came out from Democrat sources in the Lame Duck period, when people were trying to push out stories they'd been sitting on in a time when no one was paying much attention. It said that for all of Biden's term, decisions had been made by about 27 - 28 high ranking ex-Obama staffers, who were scattered throughout the bureacracy. And that they would privately consult with each other, and with Obama, and they would make the decisions, and also they would all push their respective agencies in the direction that was decided on. Naturally, this left a lot of room for everyone to improvise, and there was no oversight of anyone at all. The writers said that Joe really was never involved in any major decisions about anything, and that no one ever paid any attention to Kamala at all. In a very real way, it was Obama's 3rd Term.

They said more than that by a 7-2 margin. You can guess the 2. They said the president doesn’t have the power to invoke the AEA, and that deportees don’t just require notice, that notice must inform them of their rights, specifically to a hearing. Yes that’s right. An illegal alien who broke our laws is entitled to habeus before being deported. So got it? SCOTUS just declared the president doesn’t have certain powers, the courts have usurped those powers and given illegal aliens power. See how that works?

Yes that’s right. An illegal alien who broke our laws is entitled to habeus before being deported.
So got it? SCOTUS just declared the president doesn’t have certain powers, the courts have usurped those powers and given illegal aliens power. See how that works? Posted by: Marcus T at May 16, 2025 04:55 PM (NlXs1) More, the Constitution itself says Habus can be suspended in times of Invasion. Trump signed an EO declaring a National Emergency, due to invasion. So either the Supremes are saying this is NOT a National Emergency (which they said during Covid they would not get involved in)... or the Constitution is moot due to the SUPREME POWER of the Court.

Two big loopholes in the order--a)"The Government is enjoined from removing the named plaintiffs or putative class members in this action under the AEA pending order by the Fifth Circuit and disposition of the petition for a writ of certiorari, if such writ is timely sought." means that members in this class can still be deported using ordinary deportation procedures and
b) " (1) all the normal preliminary injunction factors, including likelihood of success on the merits, as to the named plaintiffs’ underlying habeas claims that the AEA does not authorize their removal pursuant to the President’s March 14, 2025, Proclamation, and (2) the issue of what notice is due, as to the putative class’s due process claims against summary removal. " Alito and Thomas note Scotus has departed from its own procedures and caselaw in this and the previous April order in dissent and Alito lays out exactly where the Court has botched its own procedures to save a bunch of illegals from being deported under the AEA despite the administration noting no immediate deportation threat existed for the named plaintiffs.

SCOTUS has used the specter of an emergency as the delaying factor in their ruling. That ultimately what the plaintiffs have sought. One can understand there are legitimate reason to check the power of the president when using emergency powers. But the underlying facts of this case, that is the IA noting that TdA was sent into the DoJ trying to by a foreign power to subvert our country, is the preeminent factual basis for use of the AEA. SCOTUS isn’t even addressing that, which is criminal in and of itself.

Eldridge explains how lower courts must analyze how much due process these criminals have before being deported. AEA came from 1798 and so well before the due process explosion promoted by the Warren Court and the APA which codified in part Londoner v. Denver and Bi-Metallic Investment v. CO Board of Equalization. But nothing under the order prevents ordinary deportation proceedings from being used--only the use of the AEA is temporarily barred.

And then - viola! - 81M votes. With no campaign. Just as ridiculous figures like Obama, McCain, or Biden should never have been taken seriously for any public office much less a very high one, that there is now even a disingenuous kabuki among even a portion of the comically unserious "press" about Biden's obvious unfitness in the Nth redundant data point in the tragic story.

Illegals not designated as being in the Alien Enemies class, no notice period needed prior to deportation. Alien Enemies however, must receive notice. Is that right? If so, Supreme Court is retarded.
Posted by: Chuck Martel ======= Yep. Retarded is a good term for the Roberts Court.

Biden hid in the frigging basement and gave tiny little presentations - badly - during C19. They knew; everyone knew. But "they" wanted him because they he could be easily swayed and would sign just about anything before him; would not strike down anything Obama had in place (if Trump hadn't gotten to it first), and he'd have no fiscal limits.

A poll finds that college-educated left-wing women, or AWFLs, are the group most eager to sever connections with friends or families due to their cultic "political" beliefs. You don't say. You. Don't. Say.If you're wondering where all of this radical left-wing authoritarian cultishness is coming from: It's coming from stupid left-wing women. I think women serve as the cultural and moral forces in society. When most women believe in wise things, society is orderly and prosperous. When most women believe in sick, demented things -- or, actually, when a privileged minority of women who exert an outsized influence on morals and culture -- society degenerates. Obviously our society has been degenerating for a long time. Jordan Peterson explains that they've conducted surveys to determine if there is a left-wing fascist impulse -- there is, obviously -- and if so, what factors lead someone to embrace left-wing fascist attitudes. The answers, based on actual social science surveys, are these: * Female gender * Feminine temperament. Note that some women may have a more masculine temperament and some men have a more feminine one. * Low verbal IQ That last one, he postulates, is critical for breeding this cultish left-wing fascist worldview, because you have to be sort of stupid to believe that all of your failures are due to a Conspiracy So Vast of men and white people working together to keep you from getting a raise and getting a husband.

"A poll finds that college-educated left-wing women, or AWFLs, are the group most eager to sever connections with friends or families due to their cultic "political" beliefs."
I get the implication, but I'm not sure this is really political or Trumpful. AWFLs are just terrible people in constant need of affirmation. They can't take any deviation from their accepted ideas or they'll feel challenged and insecure. They would sever connections based on almost anything, no matter how trivial. "Oh you don't like Taylor Swift? I just can't deal with you now!" They demand absolute conformity in thought in large part because any deviation makes them feel weak and insecure.

I think women serve as the cultural and moral forces in society. When most women believe in wise things, society is orderly and prosperous.
But this is only possible in proper tension with men. Women tend to be more concerned with moral and psychological, social issues than men. Men tend to be more concerned with rational, practical issues than women. In proper balance, that creates civilization. Out of balance it creates destruction: too much masculine without balance tends to create war and brutality, cruelty and heartless culture. Too much feminine without balance gives us... well, look around you. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 16, 2025 03:29 PM (2VST1) 34

Aren't there coinciding trends? More women are attending college and more men are eschewing it. So, as the politics have shown women as a demographic have become AWFL while men have become conservative, it's pretty clear that probably the biggest source of psychotic behaviorism is indeed entrenched in "academia".
For the most recent example, look at the proportion of anti-Semitic girls/women at the Ivies? Very effeminate and hysteric. The epicenter of "classic academia" and it was mostly XXs.

Sounds great - but would you sever a family relationship over something really important. A core value ? Something truly awful - like real child abuse or repeated violent criminal behavior ? I certainly would. And have. And thats the problem. Politics invades everything now. If a family member thinks you should be disarmed or institutionalized against your will ? Its politics now.

Liberals Are on the Verge of a Major PR Pivot. And Their Next Target Will NOT Be Trump. The party’s base is furious with all the politicians who lied to them about Biden’s condition.

In other exciting news, in North Santander Department, Colombia, this week twelve people were wounded by a mortar round dropped from a drone in an on-going struggle between two splinter groups of the Terrorist group FARC: Frente 33 and the ELN. The two groups have developed a method of using commercial drones to drop mortar rounds in their fight over the region in the town of Tibú. The region around N. Santander has seen ongoing fights between terrorist groups and narcotrafficers, with murders, kidnapping, "disappearances" and forced removals.

This is discussed in terms of mass media, but it is true in friend groups as well. Leftwing narratives die if some true believer tries to share them in a mixed political group.

Peterson's interlocutor on the 2nd video is, IMO, off base. There is actually a line of liberalism which does lead to the authoritarian mentality, from Machiavelli through Locke and Rousseau and Mill to the modern left. Patrick Deneen is useful on this, as is Bishop Barron. The emphasis on personal autonomy as the essence of freedom, rather than on self-control (as the classical thinkers would have it) is the key here.

Posted by: Bulg at May 16, 2025 03:44 PM (77rzZ) Community college. You'd think there would be less nonsense in a place like that, but no. As usual, the faculty are especially to blame.

It got young women up and teaching, especially in smaller rural schools, it gave them the experience to decide to continue to teach or not, and it let them "earn and learn" this also was in the period when women school teachers were required to be single in many districts, and many states.

I think this is why the old saw about being leftist when young and conservative when old is generally accurate. The older you get, the more perspective you have on this stuff, you've seen the lies come and go, you've fallen for the panic and saw it fail to come true, you see repeated patterns and lies. That's what I tried to do with Vladimir Czerny in Life Unworthy. Its not clear in the book, but (spoilers) he's over a thousand years old. He's seen it and done it all.

Peterson is in an interesting position, while he does have a voice with young, ignorant people who are really trying to understand the world, he also spends most of his time talking with intellectual types.
So he can start on something that you'd think is obviously correct and then after 10 minutes he's still justifying it and tying it to all sorts of fundamental things that he probably doesn't need do if he wasn't in a formal debate.

Q: Is cookie monster a cute character?
Peterson: Let us face the uncomfortable truth: Cookie Monster is a tyrant. Beneath his fuzzy exterior lies a symbol of unchecked desire, a creature of pure id who devours cookies with no regard for restraint or consequence. “Me want cookie!” he roars, and in that cry, we hear the seeds of chaos—tyranny born of impulse overriding reason. He doesn’t share out of virtue; he’s coerced by Sesame Street’s moral framework. Left unchecked, he’d consume every cookie in sight, a dragon hoarding not gold but crumbs. This isn’t cute; it’s dangerous. He teaches children that losing control is funny, that instant gratification is a personality trait. This sets us on a path to a culture of entitlement, where desires trump discipline. Cookie Monster is the shadow within us—the glutton, the addict, whispering, “Take it now, consequences be damned.” When we laugh at him, we excuse our own weaknesses. He’s not just a puppet; he’s a warning of what happens when we let chaos rule. So what do we do? We confront him. We teach our kids—and ourselves—that desire isn’t destiny. We put the cookie down, embrace discipline, and build a life of meaning, not crumbs. Posted by: Meric at May 16, 2025 04:11 PM (/BF22) 251

I actually just went through this: a friend of over 40 years went full leftist with the first Trump admin, and just got crazier and crazier over the subsequent years. She stopped talking to me when she texted a joke of a husband who asks if his wife's favorite flour is White Lily. (note: she's divorced, big surprise.) I texted back that the corollary was a wife who don't know which socket wrench to hand their husband when he's fixing her car. Haven't heard from her since.

When you take that path you have left rational thought behind and given over to tribalism. Posted by: coyne at May 16, 2025 04:26 PM (OaRnr) Posted by: Soothsayer at May 16, 2025 04:26 PM (ooCJz) 309
The trans thing is fascinating in that it invalidates most of feminism. And yet they pretend that a man becoming a woman by putting on a skirt isn't the exact opposite of what earlier generations of feminists said.

The most endearing thing about Dr. Peterson is when confronted by these save the planet types he simply points out they should start by putting their own room in order.
Yeah I think that simple response was more devastating than ten thousand papers proving the Global Warming hysteria is all false. It just reduced everything down to: why don't you live as if you believe this? Why not do the very simplest thing? Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at May 16, 2025 04:27 PM (2VST1) 312
This poll was worded badly and done badly (as almos tall polls are, these days). It asks whether you have lost friendships ver the election, but it doesn't specify WHO initiated the breaking up. A properly worded poll would undoubtedly reveal that 90% of those who did the breaking up were leftists -- not the confused, watered-down statistic of this flawed poll.

Some fay loser cuck named Destiny has made a career out of this, such as it is.
The guy that convinced his wife to have an open relationship...where she then left him for a more masculine guy. Posted by: 18-1 at May 16, 2025 04:22 PM (t0Rmr) No she left him for a LESS masculine guy. A thin, weedy weeb of a fellow. Probably left him too by now. She was using him from the start. She was clearly monkey branching with him and probably got a chunk of money out of the fool, tho he says he did not. There was no prenup. Quite a pretty woman, until you look into the soul. She fits the type that legend of the succubus with demon tails warn men about. Posted by: Oldcat at May 16, 2025 04:27 PM (8avO+) 314
The BIG effect is when they see leftist policies hurting their children, by, e.g., abolishing honors courses or discriminating against them because of their race.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara In my neck of the woods, the AWFLs see this and take their kids out of public schools, and then continue to vote Dem. Posted by: J. Frank Parnell at May 16, 2025 04:25 PM (eb5mD) ______________ I am amused by school districts abolishing honors courses because they "scriminate." So white and Asian parents either send their kids to private schools or get private tutoring for them. Meanwhile, the "diverse" kids end up with watered down courses that guarantee they'll struggle if/when they get into college. Leftists consistently overlook unintended consequences.

I had a friend that I just kind of drifted away from. Various reasons. He was always to the left of me, politically. His wife is a Planned Parenthood fangirl. They're both Unitarians, so no real strong belief in anything except politics. I kind of miss the guy though. I liked him. I'm thinking of reaching out to him, if I can find his number. I have a different phone now. I'm heading to Western PA in July. He lives near Salem, OH. There are some really nice golf courses in that area that I'm going to play at. Might be a good time to reach out to him. Just to see how he's doing.

Posted by: 18-1 at May 16, 2025 04:26 PM (t0Rmr) Of course it is. Trans is a hostile takeover of all the institutional turf the TERFs have stored up these generations. Men make better activists even pretending to be women. Posted by: Oldcat at May 16, 2025 04:29 PM (8avO+) 317

I'll just add that men being weak and promiscuous has a lot to do with women turning to the State. The "I don't want to sleep on the couch if I disagree with her" phenom.

260 225 214 In general women won't leave people behind unless they have someone or something to run *to*.
It's commonly referred to as "monkey branching" and why you see many women who've filed for divorce getting into new relationships suspiciously fast or just plain moving in with their boyfriend/having their boyfriend move in with them before the order is even final. Posted by: They always had one on the back burner ========= And when those tingle based replacement relationships fail, they always come back like a boomerang. == All a big generalization - I've got stories of lots of men doing the same thing.

The acceptance of the trans movement shows that this trope may no longer be true.
Posted by: Oldcat at May 16, 2025 04:20 PM (8avO+) __________________ I think (hope?) that that is a small minority who actually support that for their own kids. I think (hope?) that the majority who support that crap do so in principle, as long as it doesn't affect their own kids. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at May 16, 2025 04:25 PM (YqDXo) Don't think so. One of the early signs of transism was when a pretty well known comedian was zeroed out of the world for commenting publicly on some Hollywood producer converting his three year old son. I don't even remember his name myself. Posted by: Oldcat at May 16, 2025 04:38 PM (8avO+) 327

Women on the pill are attracted to completely different kinds of men than when not on the pill. Leads to some disappointed women and weak men trying to get along.

Okay, fair enough, that's your opinion.
But what is not fair -- or legal, actually -- is to leak your opinion to the press in order to spike a policy you disagree with.
