  1. This is three blocks south. Nowhere near the doors. They reported that security locked the doors a few minutes before 7. Doors opened at 3 so any argument that they were blocked by protesters is a fucking lie.

    Hey cheer up, at least you live by the nice QuikTrip.  ;) 

    Seriously though, is that consistent with the entire two-mile radius from the arena or was that just an outlier deal?  Does it go farther out beyond your neighborhood?  

    I read that there’s one 2 miles further out that also boarded. Shits serious. Also, I tried to avoid it but I caught my first maga family. No door muddy Jeep with a fat white trash couple inside and a little girl probably 5-6 years old not buckled just walking around in the back. And a big ol Trump flag waving in back. No fucking joke. That poor kid doesn’t have a chance.

    How many of those folks are scrubbing their tweets from the last week when the cities that had curfews in place were enforcing them upon protestors with teargas (not just looters) and they were naming everyone Antifa? Did they think the 75 year old man got what he deserved or are they having second thoughts?

    Why would they scrub their old tweets? They fully understand the difference. Curfews are for blacks and white traitors, because law and order. You don't curfew the trump loving PATRIOTS DONT TREAD ON ME NO STEP ON SNEK!!!!!

    That's great to see.

    I drove through eastern Oklahoma twice going to and from New England in May and June. I didn't pass through Tulsa.

    The people are nicer, but I have to say that it has the feel of rural Mississippi which is my least favorite part of America to have visited. I'm from Texas, so I don't have a northerner's bias. Makes me wonder if east OK is like East Texas: more southern than southwestern.

    Except for Aggies who are truly different, I don't carry football rivalry feelings beyond the realm of sports. I didn't like the feel of eastern OK. I'm glad the general impression is muted by what you're showing us. 

    I'm sure Trump's people chose Tulsa knowing there would be great support. Good for Tulsa patriots to show the would-be tyrant that his support is not solid even there.

    In the Greenwood neighborhood, just a few blocks over, and the site of the 1921 massacre. There are many around here who feel that we are closer to midwestern than southern. There are plenty of articles about where Oklahoma fits into regions and there are arguments for many. From my observation, OKC has more of a Dallas feel, while Tulsa has more of a Kansas City feel. Both smaller obviously, but just the general attitude of the people. I feel that rural areas and small towns outside of the coasts are all pretty similar. The larger cities have a different feel. So yeah, rural eastern Oklahoma has a similar feel to rural Mississippi, and rural Texas.

    Roe v wade was a mistake. And not even a good well reasoned and written opinion, even if you like the result. Without it the issue eventually works itself out state by state and never becomes the excuse evangelical whites currently have and have had for years for continuing to act like racist shitbags who support guys like Donald trump. 

    I hate agreeing with this, but I sort of agree with it.

    Someone explain the APA to me.  What are the requirements for reversing a previous administration's executive order?  I thought that was done pretty routinely (which is one reason why I think executive power should be curbed and the legislature should pass laws but that's another topic).

    It's pretty easy in most circumstances, but the new administration must consider whether there is significant reliance on the prior policy such that changing it would cause significant harm. That is one of the many things the administration here failed to do. Roberts literally tells them that there are significant reliance interests here but that they could have simply said they are outweighed because "da laws da law byatch" but they didn't give it any explanation. I guarantee there is some intern in Washington right now writing a revocation memo that follows Roberts' playbook.

    also, a consistent theme in recent opinions -- the census/citizenship question one, the habeas one from just the other day where the texan was sentenced to death, and this one -- is in each there is some facial explanation for conduct. the 4 right wingers each time say that is enough, Roberts and the other four say 'yeah, but it's obviously a lie.'

    He didn't do that here. In fact, he suggests what the administration might have said to support its decision, but chides them for not doing so. If trump wins reelection, they will just follow Roberts' roadmap, and they'll win. Elections have consequences.

  8. Really confusing, but it is essentially 5-4. The conservatives only joined a party that said the decision was not motivated by racial animus and did not violate the equal protection clause.  Sotomayor is the only one who thought it was (which it obviously was but is difficult for judges to say so).
