Like I absolutely think that, in my hypo of the purely symbolic white supremacy resolution, you should be able to sue and get some kind of official judicial declaration to the effect that "no it is not the official policy of South Carolina that the white race is superior, it cannot lawfully be"

Idk what the remedy should be, exactly, other than his swift removal from office Maybe he owes hostile work environment damages to every trans person (or black person, or fat person, or or or) in the service?

We don't ever really focus on this point, but of course a resolution passed by the South Carolina legislature (say) declaring the white race to be superior would violate the Equal Protection Clause Hegseth saying slurs is basically the same thing

Amen to this whole thread It is absolutely impeachable, and I would say unconstitutional

The power is out at my apartment so I can’t get a great picture, but it just arrived!

A copy of “Star Pilots: A History of Space Combat” by Dr. Chris Kempshall. It is on top of a quilt that is partially visible under the book.

I don’t think this is quite true; there are a small handful of somehow extremely competent absolute monarchs, and a smaller handful that didn’t have their stupid kids blow it up. It’s just that the current record is 125 years, and that required a crazy string of luck. bsky.app/profile/john...

The line Niebuhr has in the intro to “The Children of Light and The Children of Darkness”, “man’s capacity for evil makes democracy necessary”, is true largely due to the fact that anyone who thinks they can wield supreme power is assuredly so stupid that they will blow their society apart with it

But more to the point, for every one Cincinnatus or Park Chung Hee or Lee Kuan Yew who uses absolute power to *kiiinda* from a certain POV effect positive change you get a million Caligulas, Maos, Gadhafis, Assads, Stalins, Hitlers who cripple and kill their kingdoms with pure unchecked stupidity

Honestly; flipping Texas is the real crucial point for turning this around. We can’t do anything about uncooperative coalition partners without the ability to really threaten to ignore them. People have been talking about the Sun Belt like this for decades, but it’s real and it’s happening, so.

Backdooring a check on them though anti-ICE enforcement is yet another way that anti-ICE enforcement helps the American people.

We should absolutely expand it to all hires though. Basically every cop in a local PD who does something awful was employed in like five police departments previously and he had a record of abuse in all of them.

This would require a federal database of all applicants to local law enforcement agencies. That sounds great, you’re really knocking it out of the park with these policy suggestions.

anyway when I am in charge I will reduce VMI and the Citadel to smoking craters and commission a memorial at USMA featuring the name of every grad who took up arms against his own country in defense of chattel slavery, provisionally titled "eternal shame"

Here in Texas, Republicans basically aren't even bothering with Spanish-language ads. This sends a negative competence signal to many Latino voters, who are generally English fluent but get the message that Republicans don't care about them. www.texastribune.org/2026/10/02/t...

#FunFact: Yes, it's now possible to drive a standard, mainstream EV from New York to Los Angeles in a reasonable amount of time without getting stranded with a dead battery and WITHOUT having to use a Tesla station!

Probably easier to keep track of them if McCulloch hadn't destroyed the chain of command by getting three commanders of one part of the army killed in quick succession, and then the fourth guy in line got lost in the woods.

It's late, I misread this post. We both agree on how good Van Dorn was a good commander. I'm going to bed. Don't discourse on history when sleep deprived, kids.

This of course raises the question; if Benjamin McCulloch did it first, is Pete Hegseth actually doing Benjamin McCulloch shit? (Genuinely, one of the times I was most ashamed of my state was when I learned that Ben McCulloch was from Texas. I hate that clown.)

000

I'd argue that Van Dorn was actually a good commander (Holly Springs basically saved Vicksburg for six months), and I'd specifically say that it was actually Benjamin McCulloch who fumbled the bag by doing Pete Hegseth shit (if you are commanding an army, you cannot be your own scout).

Hell no, not when we're finally winning! The electoral college finally has the wind at our back, we are going to be able to clutch out statewide races, and we can put in maps of the house with lizard-shaped districts that favor us.

I'm trying to think of what kind of person would have more hours in EU5 than EU4 while still having 200+ in both, and the only answer I'm coming up with is "unimaginable turbo-nerd".

the lesson of the Civil War is that aesthetic warrior-cult societies get their shit rocked by schoolteachers and store clerks who'd much rather be doing anything else
