  1. If the people enforcing laws are doing so motivated by racial animus, then they are racists and the enforcement is racist. The only times in American history we have had these sweeping efforts to deport people, that are so unprincipled and unmoored that they commonly sweep citizens, lawful immigrants, and unlawful immigrants, they were some of the most shameful racist incidents in our history. https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/texas-exhibit-refuses-to-forget-one-of-the-worst-periods-of-state-sanctioned-violence/ When we're not only deporting people, but reversing humanitarian immigration policies (TPS for Venezuelans, among others) enacted by the same President, we're getting goddamn near racist territory. Tell me with a straight face that Stephen Miller isn't the most blatantly racist American politician since George Wallace.
  2. Not sure what your point is here. But to you and brisket, there have been a number of instances of people on record saying things to the effect of "I thought he was just deporting the criminals," notably from a goodly number of Latin-Americans, and expressing dismay at ICE tactics and the deportation of non-criminal immigrants. For the MAGAts, there's almost no question it's cover for racism. But Democrats lost some non-MAGAt votes to people who were concerned about immigration and seem to have bought the notion that a large percentage of immigrants are criminals.
  3. Also sort of related, Abrego-Garcia clears the first hurdle in a vindictive prosecution claim, entitling him to discovery from the government. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/kilmar-abrego-may-have-been-vindictively-prosecuted-by-trump-administration-us-2025-10-03/ Fitzgerald is going to have some fun with this one.
  4. Going back a few pages, Kilmar Abrego-Garcia passed the first hurdle in a vindictive prosecution claim, entitling him to discovery from the government on his prosecution decision. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/kilmar-abrego-may-have-been-vindictively-prosecuted-by-trump-administration-us-2025-10-03/
  5. Confirmed. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-agent-relieved-duty-over-refusing-comey-perp-walk-four-people-familiar-say-2025-10-03/ Not sure I trust msnbc completely. Saw that a couple of ED Va prosecutors were fired, one the first assistant to the US Attorney that refused to indict Comey, the other the head of the national security deivision there. The latter on the strength of a social media post, but not by Loomer.
  6. Yep, brown shirts on parade. Unsere ICE! Blut und ehre.
  7. Yeah, Newsom proposes no litmus test other than not capitulating to Trumpco. In some really broad sense, don't capitulate is a policy or sort of litmus test of its own, but not really. Unless you believe the California governor and Newsom in particular has been dictating California university education policy.
  8. Fify. And so probably not.
  9. For an absurdly long time (or maybe it just kept getting redone). The facade of Hillcrest HS, facing Hillcrest Road in Dallas, looked like this:
  10. They're a lot like commemorative plates from Franklin Mint and others. But highly favored by tools and douches.
  11. The guy is just a massive tool. I expect he has been hated all his life by neighbors, schoolmates, everyone that didn't have to suck up to him for one reason or another. If he hadn't inherited millions from his drunken slumlord father, we'd have never heard of him.
  12. No the AG hates Ryan Walters as well.
  13. Also, Stitt isn't quite reliably MAGA and the AG hates him, and Ryan Walters.
  14. As pointed out earlier, Newsom's post doesn't require adherence to any particular policies of his or any other administration.
  15. Yeah, a couple of those things, like the tuition freeze, is nothing but a populist appeal. The real goal of that, is that last bit of shit that even Texashammer agrees is nebulous, standardless ground for ideological punishment. I have been contemplating the question of why is education so "librul"? And the answer is, that is its very nature. Education, academia, and intelligentsia are, by their nature, progressive. It's the study and generation of new ideas. Even a discipline like history, dedicated to study of the past, basically thrives on uncovering new facts from the past or new interpretations of the past and how it affects the present and future. Sure, some of those ideas are garbage, just like some old ideas are garbage. But to have real education, you just have to let it go where it wants to go. And an attempt to do otherwise is damaging.
  16. I saw the guilty plea, but not the six months. That's fucking absurd in the context of what lesser sex offenders routinely get.
  17. It's performative. It means SCOTX governs who can sit for the bar, and that's usually a graduate of an ABA-accredited law school, or one with an exception, an "approved school." Now, it's whatever school SCOTX approves, which also means ABA-accredited. They're not going to start independently approving/disapproving law schools. What might eventually happen, though, is some bunch of right wing loons put together the Acme School of Religious Freedumb and SCOTX might approve its graduates to sit for the bar, but that will only be in Texas, and maybe Floriduh and a couple other places. But like most of the marginally accredited schools that have been in Texas, the school will probably struggle financially. I suppose at some deranged point, they might actually disapprove of HLS, YLS, etc. or any school, including UT, that's too woke. But that's a ways off on the timeline and we'll have a lot bigger problems by then, anyway.
  18. So, guys who've served. Shaving in a combatish situation seems like a painful waste of time. I think of seeing guys in winter conditions shaving with no doubt cold water out of a helmet, and it just makes my face hurt. Is it anything like McRaven's make your bed everyday? Because I think that's real. And about half my GI Joes had beards, along with their life like hair.
  19. matasticize? Oof. Uphauling and meadoker.
  20. Arizona State is the far less serious of the two schools.
  21. That appears to be Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Weimer And the badge you are questioning is the Master Military Freefall Parachutist badge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Freefall_Parachutist_Badge
  22. No, I mean posters here.
  23. I disremember, did anyone actually disclaim P2025?
