Was prepared to be very mad about this post until I reached the punchline

I've basically gone full Schmittian when it comes to these cretins. Ogles and his ilk aren't counterparties in a democratic system; they are sworn enemies of the American republic who are working to destroy it from within.

I can't believe you approve and endorse of good cannot happen and only bad happen

descriptions of Trump 2 as a 'clownshoes' government were once taken to be figurative, but the discovery of new images from the era ...

ah, I think the British call this a "piss-up"

Even in the era of hyperpolitics, I don't think you can overcome a genuine energy crisis through posting. But decent odds we're about to find out whether that works.

what if we built an entire political and policy program around spiteful reactionary hatred of a black president

it really is unfortunately this simple - we elected the stupidest narcissists absolutely convinced that they could just go and "assert warfighter dominance" or whatever, those pussy liberals didn't wanna FIGHT!!!, and are just now shocked that the enemy gets a vote too

Everything is bad, but at least I can focus on my dissertation chapter about how the British in 1915 didn’t have the navy to force a strait when it needed to because it spent the previous decades funding their army’s misadventures in unimportant areas that turned into expensive quagmires.

screenshot of a paragraph on page 42 of The Originalism Trap, reading as follows: "Justice Marshall and Justice Brennan were right— the core directive the amended Constitution gives to us is to cast off the yoke of subordination. Originalism is inconsistent with the Constitution’s rejection of exploitation and dominance, made explicit in the nineteenth century by the Reconstruction Amendments. Uncritical acceptance of amateur history that ignores the realities of oppression and the breadth of the country’s diversity does not make the courts and their application of law impartial. It makes them impoverished. I propose a new method of legal interpretation that is guided by the country’s purported principles and not its failure to live up to them. I call it “inclusive constitutionalism.”"

"We must restore the law as a reason-giving discipline where logic, analogy and interpretive method govern, not the deployment of raw power, coercion and, least of all, violence."

@raskin.house.gov may I interest you in inclusive constitutionalism

Good morning. Hope you didn't think you'd be productive today.

I genuinely think this entire thing is about that “weak men makes hard times” quote that they’re all obsessed with— it runs through their head constantly, they think the whole world is about top dogs and bottom dogs & no other information is necessary

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

article confirms no one willing to tell grandpa that the game is up

“Inside the administration, some officials are growing pessimistic about the lack of a clear strategy to finish the war. But they have been careful not to express that directly to the president, who has repeatedly declared that the military operation is a complete success.”

Profiles in courage.

MOOOOOOOOOM THE ENEMY IS VOTING AGAIN
