    I'm thinking less of a purge and more of a Distraction War.

    Too many "release the Epstein files" memes on Twitter these days.  Gotta distract the populace.  Greenland?  Iran?  Who knows!

    Venezuela.

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all. I think the "Tyler Robinson was a patsy" stuff is ridiculous. I'm intentional about staying grounded with this kind of shit. 

    But this photo...

    G1nzkdRWEAAy-FD?format=jpg&name=900x900

    This photo is a test for the American people.

    I have no idea about the motives of the Dallas shooter. Maybe he was against ICE and is just the biggest bumblefuck idiot shooter and killed the wrong people. Maybe their will be legitimate, concrete info he is a "Communist leftist". 

    But Occam's Razor leads to this being evidence tampering. Nothing about it makes sense. If he was a Tyler Robinson copycat, he wouldn't have written on just one casing. Kash Patel's tweets said it was "engraved". The LEO who first reported on this said, and I quote, the casings "contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature". Who could hear that, and then see the photo above, and not just laugh? 

    I hate this fucking world we live in. Just a constant assault on people's psyches filled with gaslighting, manipulation, and corruption on an hourly basis. They are out to get us all. 

     

    This is the most obviously fraudulent "evidence" since the Atlanta cops killed that guy at the cop city protests and then threw down a fucking S&W Military and Police model sidearm as a drop gun.

  3. Pretty safe to assume at this point that any time a shooter is killed rather than arrested law enforcement will fabricate evidence to make them look like a leftist.

  4. The Court has always been political. It used to be common to nominate politicians and political operatives who had little-to-no judicial experience to the Court. But they operated in different contexts than we have today, contexts in which they understood the necessity of couching what were partially political decisions in something that at least resembled Law. As awful as it was, as wrong as it was, even Dred Scott was based on a thread of an intelligible legal theory. Lochner and the Slaughterhouse cases were based on intelligible legal theories. They were theories I very much disagree with and which I think are contrary to our Constitution, but they were coherent as legal arguments. Similarly, the changes brought about by the Warren Court were based on intelligible legal theories that had been around for a long time. The Warren Court was political, but it wasn't just nakedly siding with its preferred party with no or little reasoning and conflicting justifications from case to case. 

    The Court has been awful more often than not during the history of our country. Never before has it made dozens of District court judges look at their decisions and go "what the fuck are we supposed to do with this?"

  5. It might not even be by conscious decision, but it's pretty clear that the leadership of the Democratic party, and their connected web of consultants, pundits, donors, etc., selects for the most risk-averse people on the fucking planet. 

    If even the idea of telling a donor no crosses your mind, you're not going to be a favored candidate to them.  

  6. I mean, the logical explanation is that humanity has always had guys like this, we've for whatever reason always had a real weakness for falling for and rewarding their bullshit, and early Christians wanted believers to steer clear either (1) for everyone's benefit, and/or (2) because they didn't want competition.

    For the record I hate Twitter, because the of the way it algorithmically promotes anti-American and fringe insurgent points of view. But I do stan for aggressive political marketing and direct confrontation, and that’s still possible on Twitter.

     

    Also there is good shit on sports and other topics that form the bulk of my interests.

    FYI, Mina Kimes pretty much single-handedly led an exodus of all the best nfl writers to Blue Sky. A lot of them still post links to their stuff on Twitter (which is probably contractually required) but do most of their actual posting on Blue Sky. It’s not all sports, but it’s a start.

    I like this tactic. It has the imprimatur of an official hearing by a government in exile. Yeah, it shows they don't have the power to hold hearings while showing what they could do *if* they had power. It's kind of striking and, dare I say, subversive.

    Maybe it's just stupid and performative. I dunno. It kinda works for me.

    It's obviously performative, but that's a substantial part of the job. This is good stuff and they should do more of it.

    Not Disney’s first rodeo

    https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-56022084.amp

    Gina Carano dropped from Mandalorian after 'abhorrent' posts

     

    They also cancelled Roseanne Barr’s show after her incendiary comments as well

    Who was President when Roseanne was fired? 

    Where did anyone in Biden's administration pressure Disney to fire Carano not sign her to a new contract?
