Me too. He's obeying SCOTUS in the most vindictive and abusive way possible... but he's obeying. It's too early to be certain, but it feels like a watershed. Trump's street instincts have always been good, and I think he sense that defying SCOTUS is a bridge too far for too many Americans.

I didn't expect the SS and the SA to fall out quite so quickly.

If the Republic must fall, it should be entertaining.

“This NazgĂ»l HK suite does it all, virtually indestructible.” “Virtually?” “There’s this zero-day exploit where it suffers a catastrophic failure if a woman touches it. But c’mon. A female engineer?” *bros share a laugh and sell jillions of units*

Failing to loop Solovyov into the group chat was a serious oversight. Very disappointing.

I cannot figure out how you attract so much bile. I’ve seen you argue strenuously and refuse to back down, but you argue ideas. You don’t get personal unless they make it personal. I think a lot of people have just learned to hate you because their friends hate you. Lemming behavior.

I say that not because I’m an enemy of the faith, but because I actually still believe Jesus. It’s been pretty wild to spend ten years watching my co-religionists set fire to everything they claim to believe.
comment in response to post
I haven’t abandoned my evangelical beliefs, but I’ll say this. Matthew quotes Jesus as saying “a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.” When the worst people in America are the ones giving altar calls, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that the whole tree is rotten.

Eric, we have Boomer engagement to harvest. No one has time for your “accuracy” or “patriotism” or “actually caring about veterans.”

You’ve only got five years on me then. See, I’m older than my level of maturity might suggest.

Oh no. Born in 1978. Last of the Disco Generation. đŸ•ș I assumed from your post that that was your vintage too. A good year. For sarcastic schmucks. Apparently. đŸ€Ș

When I worked the grocery store in high school, some guy yelled at me (a random stockboy) because some other store sold milk cheaper. I told him in my most serious voice that he’d better hurry over there before they sold out. He just stared; had no idea what to do. 1978 was clearly a good year. 😜

*takes drag on cigarette* Kid, I remember when SwiftOnSecurity was a Taylor Swift content machine. No one had ever seen anything like it. Godlike, we said. Then they sold the handle to a private equity firm, now it just churns out links to badly pixelated AI OnlyFans models.

I spent my college years in the South. I’ve never been shy to tell people I would rather live anywhere else in the U.S. I especially like the Northeast, because they’ll just tell you they don’t like you instead of smiling sweetly while they shiv you in the back.

This earned you a follow. There’s so much about immigration law I don’t know. I appreciate these insights.

I wish I knew. A lot depends on how much breaks between now and then.

Also, why would we expect his clique of misfits, memelords, and incompetent Nazis to risk accountability? Even if His Orangeness is catatonic by then, they’ll prop his drooling shell up as a shield against the retribution we all so richly deserve to extract from their worthless hides.

You have to recognize leftists as irreligious fundamentalists to understand them.
comment in response to post
I’ve circulated within Christian fundamentalism, so I get the far left’s fixation on purity. Winning isn’t the point — purity is. The fact that you’re losing means you’re winning since the world hates the light. If you’re winning, that means you compromised with the world, which means you’re losing.

It’s already happening. I’m positioned somewhat uniquely in that my family is huge, so I’ve got siblings 20 years younger than me. They’re barely on social media at all. Too much hiking, guitar music, reading, and road tripping with friends to waste time inflating Zuckerberg’s bottom line.

If you sacked Rome successfully, this can only mean it was God’s will and you are a mere servant of the Lord of Hosts. Well done.

The Fountainhead is good lit. Burn Atlas Shrugged, entomb the ashes in concrete, sink it in the Marianas Trench, and read The Fountainhead.

Installed some handles in the tub for my wife, and sliced up some BBQ rib meat for her dinner later. She has mobility and coordination challenges, but everyone deserves ribs and a hot bath.

Surprised you're skipping Lincoln NE. We would welcome you with... I dunno, corn and stuff.
comment in response to post
That’s the correct word. Lincoln is close as I get to worshiping a mere mortal. I’m feeling oddly supportive of vandalism.
comment in response to post
Correct. The decisiveness of Hitler's consolidation of power was what appealed to middle- and upper-class Germans afraid of left-wing street gangs and a cratering economy. It's why Nazism was in many ways a youth movement: it appealed to restless youths with few prospects a feeling of grievance.

They’re not progressives and will never vote Dem, but they might vote third party or abstain — but that’s less likely the more they’re labeled racists. It’s not true, they know it’s not true, and the louder it’s screamed at them the more likely they are to vote for whomever promises to defend them.
comment in response to post
I cannot agree with this any harder. My tribe is conservative evangelical. I rub elbows all the time with MAGA voters. They’re also all connected by marriage or adoption or both to blacks, browns, Asians. And they’re fine with it! Literally could not care less about a person’s skin color.
