So he's been on staffs with Choate, Saban, and Schiano and has Houston/Texas ties. Not going to act like this is some no-doubter but seems like it can work just fine to me.47 points

My mom passed away a bit ago. It has been a pain in the ass to bring her remains back to the US. She was a retired Senior Foreign Service Officer. Very well decorated. Never did an easy tour (Fuck you to the State haters). I cannot bring back her remains. One of our legal eagle knows how long I have been dealing with this. Fucking hard. The one number, the only one, that can do it, goes to voice mail. The office is gutted. It is just me and my brother left. We wanted to spread her ashes, just a bit, a Jameson's shot worth, on the spring training field for the Red Sox.30 points

Look, healthy multiparty proportional representation is my goal but if I canβt have that then Iβll just have to support the next best thingβ the authoritarian party that is destroying constitutional checks and balances and handing state capacity to tech oligarchs. Stop debating the cowards and enemies.25 points

I am going to (against my better judgment) make a high-effort post. All of us now live under an authoritarian government. Not an authoritarian state (yet) but the authoritarian government is here, and that has implications for how you should comport yourself and arrange your own private life. There is still time to turn off the authoritarian path, but that time is growing short and the way back rather harder than it was. Donald Trump fired the board of the Kennedy Center and replaced it with a new one who then elected Donald Trump chair of the Center. This is pretty stupid, and clearly the act of a petty and vain narcissist and most people will never go to the Kennedy Center. However, itβs clearly important to the Trump regime that Trump be seen as a leading, shaping figure in American cultural life in a way no president has ever been. Stalin created a union of writers in the Soviet Union despite a clear lack of interest in fiction. It was important to him. A smart citizen should ask whyβ why does the President also need to be a cultural luminary? The AP was ejected from the White House press pool for refusing to call the Gulf of Mexico by its new, Trump assigned name. Google and Apple, notably, have updated their maps. This is a stupid and small thing, clearly a fit of idiocy by Trump that has no real impact on your life. But it was important to the White House that the AP use the White Houseβs words. In 2017, neither Google or Apple would have changed their maps, in 2025 they will. An observant citizen will ask: if Google will not defy the White House in a trifling manner, what will they for a serious matter? Trumpβs firings of independent boards, IGs, commissioners, and others is patently illegal. That needs no comment. No other president tried to do it or needed to. The White House claims that no president has faced the opposition Trump faces. An observant citizen will note: the White House wants you to know Trump is special and different. Trump has a nebulous, undefined, set of people he works for (with Musk): βthe peopleβ and he exercise βtheir will.β βThe will of the peopleβ is a phrase very much en vogue. But the enemies are very defined and specific: federal employees, immigrants, transgender people, NGOs, disfavored politicians. They all deserve what is coming to them; they fleece, rob, humiliate, and get fat off of βthe American people.β The citizen should ask: once defeated, what specific enemy will be found next? We are picking fights with all our friends, making enemies of Allies, and rapidly turning an American passport into a liability. At the same time we are dismantling the structures we used to make America attractive and exchanging soft power for a better uppercut. We will be very successful at using our latent power to get cringing acceptance and concessions. The Chinese do, too. The Chinese are also welcome nowhere on earth, their expat communities are universally loathed. One should askβ where would I go if America was no longer a safe home? Who might want me and who might want to help my country? My prediction is fairly boring. The end state here is somewhere between todayβs Hungary and China as experienced by Han Chinese. No massive internment camps, no executions. America is very rich, very powerful, and can coast for a very long time by consuming itself and returning rewards to select beneficiaries. The Great Terror is not coming; there will be no Full Self Drive Black Marias. But some people you donβt know will go to jail for nothing. Some inconvenient people will go into exile. And, if we donβt take the hard road, we will find that we will go through the forms of democracy to no end, that our world will be grayer, our dreams dimmer, our choices constrained, our voices subdued. So what to do? First, realize that all who are not openly against this are for it. Do not trust them. You may not need to cut them out, you may not be advised to confront them. But, realize that you need to be as cagey as a Soviet. They may be invited to your home, but never to your kitchen table. Remember, they want to destroy your home. Read. Read Bulgakov, and Havel, and Orwell, and Huxley and Akhmatova and do not take them as warnings. Read them to understand where you live now. Cowardice is the gravest of vices. Put cowards and collaborators on ignore, here and in your life.22 points

You know the drill. It'll be "both sides" but really only specific about Biden/Harris, etc., and making sure to add in a "but I don't like trump either" to pretend he's reasonable. The right just installed an anti-vaxer to lead Health and Human Services, but Biden was old and Harris was mean to some protesters who interrupted her rally, so you know, "BOTH SIDES." Or I guess now "if only we had more parties" as though he's the only one who hates the two-party system which makes him so totally smart and unique.16 points

What's the effective driving range on a fully-charged armored Tesla? Half a mile or so? Also, can you imagine landing some high-level job and thinking you get to roll around in one of those bad ass tricked out Escalades only to find out it's being replaced with a god damn Logitech mouse looking piece of Tesla shit? Must be demoralizing.13 points

I imagine this has more to do with work life balance. Choice probably doesn't need the money. With a new born, being on the road all the time, constantly having to recruit on the phone probably wears on you. Texas has gone from a coaching graveyard to a place where people come and can advance their careers, I'll take that compared to the alternative.11 points

We are priming the fucking pump. Appointing presidents to cultural boards? Renaming centuries old geographic features. Military parades are coming. And thereβs another place where the discourse should be freaking people out. Our militaryβs job is now to βsecure the homeland.β Generations of Americans have understood that the homeland is most secure and that Americaβs military strength is best used far, far away. Fucking Lincoln explained that a foreign army could not lay a track on the Blue Ridge even if it were funded by the combined might of the Old World. That is a goddam luxury. Dipshits like Anastasis will celebrate this reorientation but a thoughtful American will ask why the fuck, all of a sudden, an exquisite and terrifying fighting force now needs to focus on America instead of the world abroad.11 points

I don't know if he said that or what's claimed below, but either way, it's something that his dad said to him, or that he heard his dad tell Trump (I like this last theory - most kids know better than to insult adults, and Leon's kid felt extremely comfortable telling Trump that he's not the President, as he's sitting in the Oval Office).10 points

@SydneyCarton apologies for never getting around to responding. My little brother was in a serious accident on his dirt bike and is currently in a coma, I was posting from the hospital whenever I posted that brief reply...hence why I haven't made any posts in the last week or so. I would be happy to continue the discussion at a later time, but I don't currently have the mental bandwidth to do arguments on the internet. Peace and love, homies.9 points
