  1. We had come a long way since then.
  2. I will say this, too. When I wrote above, evidently incorrectly, about university administrators not taking official adverse action based on student protest or denunciation, I was basing it on my own observation of mostly "local" meaning in-state events. In keeping with what Texas used to be, I'm thinking the administrations were pretty live-and-let-live about this sort of thing, borne out by what Welsh did even at the highly conservative lapdog eaTme. Whereas it seems the historical sanctions came from more east coast type places (Central Florida, wth?). The futility of student protests and denunciations at local unis was one of the hallmarks of them. Again, see shanty. So much for that.
  3. Ok then. I can clearly recall student protests from the left on various things that never amounted to anything, as well as the ones where student groups sponsoring controversial speakers canceled events. I didn't recall any adverse administration action or certainly the federal government getting involved. But I am old. Shanty out front should have told you. Nonetheless, that report indicates that external pressure from the right recently has accelerated, rather exponentially.
  4. Too late to edit, but the above is, I believe, why Talarico among others is not usually explicitly Christian or biblical in his criticism and attacks on the very unchristian things going on in the lege and elsewhere. Part of the whole deal of real Christianity is the humility not to try to tell others they're doing it wrong because you have your own hands full trying not to do it wrong. As is often said by right-thinking folks around here "I'm not a Christian, but I'm trying." I have, however, made the same complaint about Islam in that it seems that the sane followers do nothing to restrain the insane ones. I assume, but don't know that Islam has the same sort of teachings about personal humility and religious righteousness.
  5. Students taking umbrage at what a professor teaches, yes. University administrators and, especially, government officials taking action on it, not so much.
  6. This person was thoroughly indoctrinated by their parents and probably their peers at some "Christian" private school. She was probably also a political plant like the daughter of that embarrassing UT grad twat that did a similar thing a couple of years ago. Only at that time, the administration wasnt what it is now. It's denunciation, like something out of a Soviet or French Revolution novel. Texas, fuck Texas, all hail our fucked up state.
  7. It's all a steaming pile of shit, and poop will never not be funny.
  8. I think it's pretty explicit in P2025 or elsewhere in the principles of this shit that congressional stalemate is why we need a dictator. Yet again, the wrong answer to the right question.
  9. I stumbled on Careless People for free, and, although it is self-indulgent, Zuckerberg and Sandberg come off as real pieces of shit.
  10. Not going to argue the point. But a central part of the problem is injecting religion into politics for political purposes. Although it might feel better, from a strictly policy/doctrine standpoint, you don't want the real Christians getting visibly involved in politics, even against the bad ones. A secondary part of the problem is that Christians should not sit in judgment of others, which is also a big problem with the political ones.
  11. Fify.
  12. Wait, I thought no more wars. Not gonna be good for that Noble Piece Prize.
  13. This will be something of a test of the chain of command. JAG provides both prosecutors and defense lawyers and you can be relatively certain that the regular chain of command of the defendant has a strong preference for one or the other, usually prosecution, in the average case. But the opposing counsel suffers no adverse consequences for representing the disfavored side and/or obtaining a disfavored result. As immigration judges, they'll be temporarily under civilian command and if they produce disfavored results simply returned to military duty. The question then becomes whether supervising JAG officers will extend any sanctions or career consequences at the behest of the civilians. So a little petri dish microcosm of what Trump is really doing to the military. And, of course, it is beyond fucked up that the government is enlisting military lawyers to accomplish civilian goals, however legitimate or illegitimate they are.
  14. Well, that was a lost opportunity. Push him hard as either being completely full of shit or obligated to produce the informant materials.
  15. Yeah, agree this week he looked more like a young QB. I was watching Bryce Underwood yesterday pretty hard and he looked worse. Granted, he's younger than Arch, but still in his first year of starting. And I don't think blOwU is the equivalent of tOSU. And, it's probably unfair and unrealistic to judge the other skill players this early with a new QB. I won't say I have no concerns, but I think they probably resolve pretty well by the end of the season.
  16. As a long time watcher, its usually the passing that makes the setting shitty, rather than the setting being shitty itself. Poor Chloe, among others.
  17. Not defending the Congressional abdication here, but not even SCOTUS could uphold that. the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
  18. Possibly more bizarre is that the pic on the left is from 2023, pre-bastard child, while that on the right is from 2025, her "official portrait." She can't figure out whether she's Trump's wholesome whore or just a general-purpose whore.
  19. givesendgo, imo. Although I think her haircut might well put her on the wrong (or right, really left, as it were) team.
  20. Yeah, when a Supplemental registration comes up for the five year "renewal," it's about as cheap to go ahead and re-apply to the Principal and use the five-year presumption to get the full Principal registration.
  21. At the very least, the pissed-off and heavily armed recovering Republicans that infest this site are gonna get super serious.
