  1. I will observe that the American thing was different in that most European nations had slavery outside their national borders, in colonies, where it was "out of sight, out of mind" for the most part. That doesn't make it any better for us, just a little different, and maybe worse.
  2. One thing he said that was bullshit is we were among the first nations to abolish slavery. We were among the last, particularly among what might be considered enlightened nations.
  3. But stripper clip? Also did we ever establish whether Robinson's gun was a modern Mauser or a 98 mod? I saw a pic that maybe looked modern, but didn't preclude a "sporterized" 98. And I saw a bunch of shit about "grandpa's gun."
  4. SKS seems the only really likely rifle using a stripper clip. So 7.62x39? Look kinda like em, if a bit long. For some reason, that cartridge seems to get pointy bullets more often than most you see.
  5. Dismissal of criminal charges? Trumpco is going to attempt to abuse existing laws, no question about that. This EO doesn't make it easier for him to do so. At best/worst it expresses his intention to do so.
  6. Apparently, the idea of a sovereign wealth fund is unobjectionable. But that would require political independence and independent agencies are about to go down the tubes. "White House" equity investments are suspect as shit. I thought we didn't like the government choosing winners and losers?
  7. Dabbling is doing some heavy lifting there. Haven't looked it up, but guess it doesn't include filing 60-plus lawsuits, fomenting a riot at the US Capitol, and the loser whinging about it for five plus years.
  8. Didn't know about that, but I have seen some 401ks with horrible options and the default option being the most horrible.
  9. Limitations has expired, so no. Had she sued within limitations, an oldlaw court would have ordered disclosure of that at least to her, if not publicly. DPS dickface would have qualified immunity, at least initially.
  10. And If that's what Fidelity sticks you in by default, targeted to your retirement year, that's a whole hell of a lot better than what some other 401k manager enties default to or force you into. Another positive point for Fidelity as a 401k manager for small to medium business.
  11. Apparently confirmed.
  12. Well, what he's really doing is giving acceptable cover (politically incorrect) to what are racist, ignorant, undemocratic, unChristian, inhumane, and really inhuman thoughts and statements.
  13. Given that the other side is pretty much 100% outrage, of course it does. This may be the first justifiable outrage cancellation, though.
  14. Not my point at all. ICE gonna ICE, regardless. But declaring Antifa a DTO is a performative nothing.
  15. You've seen what grand juries and others are doing with bullshit Trump crimes haven't you?
  16. I'd suggest that the entire era was largely characterized by politicization, rather than Humphrey's Executor itself. Four of the justices politically opposed to FDR, the rest more agnostic, but also acutely aware of the scenario. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_switch_in_time_that_saved_nine But yeah, FedSoc vetting/training has been extraordinarily good for their purposes and takes things to a level heretofore unseen. Or like no one has ever seen before.
  17. I don't think they really do anything. Keyboard/video warriors.
  18. Being a "domestic terror organization" doesn't change the substantive law applicable. Those things aren't crimes and didn't become crimes overnight. To the extent being a DTO affects anything (it's kind of like Antifa, it doesn't really exist), it might make them the target of investigation by task forces.
  19. Inspirational international leadership!
  20. Eh live and learn. Those target funds aren't horrible for dumbshits. They're more diverse and less risky than even an SP500 tracker. If we'd had extended down markets, you'd probably be singing a different tune. A lot worse mistakes have been made by those not minding the store in the 401k.
  21. That and there are ways for a privileged white guy like Kirk with any gumption to increase their odds of selection in subsequent years.
  22. More evidence that it's always been Calvinball. At the risk of being a superlib, the inability of Congress to create agencies independent of the executive is another one of these problematic things that I would fix in US Constitution II, electric boogaloo.
  23. The one huge tip off on Charlie Kirk in his "debates" is that he never STFU and continued to talk over and interrupt his "opponent." You're right, I think, that debate does not arrive at truth, the winner is not the truthiest, but rather the better rhetorician. It does have value in exposing the "sides" or issues underlying a topic, some of which may be propaganda, which should be exposed in the debate but often isn't. Anyway, Kirk's rhetorical style is a variant of Trump's: keep repeating your side, ignore the other side mostly, flood the zone.
  24. Get a squeeze bulb, some tubing up under your shirt to your collar and spray some blood on them when they protest. Go ahead and call it the blood of the lamb.
  25. About 75% of the CR posters laughed at the free shit army. They're still the free shit army, with some extra hate and racism.
