imTay म्हणाले...: I was thinking about that change from DEI to IED, and you know what? An IED would be the perfect tool for the "Handicapper General" in the story Harrison Bergeron. Obviously, "Didn't Earn It" must have really stung.; १६/५/२४, ८:३१ PM
Kakistocracy म्हणाले...: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sues Meta, citing chatbot’s reply as evidence of shadowbanhttps ~ Ars Technica

Alternatively as the son of an AG he does know ‘better’, specifically he knows that performative garbage like this is a no-risk, great way to get national attention of gullible rubes who can be exploited for fame and money.; १६/५/२४, ८:५७ PM
Old and slow म्हणाले...: In the early 1980's, the Fury Bothers had a number one hit on the Irish pop music charts with the song The Green Fields Of France, a WW2 ballad. Here it is, and it is lovely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntt3wy-L8Ok&list=RDntt3wy-L8Ok&start_radio=1&rv=5peHauXtYsA

The Irish might be turning into, I don't know, certainly something questionable, but there is still greatness there.

Give it a listen if you like.; १६/५/२४, ९:२० PM

Gusty Winds म्हणाले...: I have to ask Professor Althouse. And you know I'm a fan.

When does cruel neutrality become a neutral cruelty?

You have started recently giving us hints on how frustrating it feels to devote your life to the teaching of the law, and the rule of law, now that you are disturbed at the courts being used against a man [Trump] and a movement [MAGA} you really don't like. All this pushed by a political party [Democrats] which dominated your sympathies.

I appreciate that you can see why MAGA voters are pissed. But is it really time to hang on to cruel neutrality? RJK Jr. support seems a form of cruel neutrality. The Supreme Court passing on Texas vs. PA in 2020 (which you openly supported)...is what got us here. "Let's move on...we can't look back fraud that already succeeded. Pencils down." The law and the courts FAILED us. Now, they attack us. There is no relief in the courts. Only perpetuation and protection of the 2020 voter fraud promoted in places like Madison, WI. Now the same effort wants political prisoners.

I'm not coming at you, or blaming you. You've got guts living in Madison writing like you do. But I wonder if you're considering that the enemy [Trump] of your enemy [the modern, totalitarian Democrats] is your friend?

That would be a Muslim value in line with the crazy Gaza protestors in Madison. Provides cover. A neutral cruelty. But you and I both know they are all too programmed to even understand it.

Ann, vote for Trump. Openly. He needs to win or everything the 60's, 70's and 80's Feminists fought for is lost. The feminists of that era weren't fighting for "up until full term" choice abortions. They didn't fight for censorship. They didn't fight for child mutilation.

They fought for equality. The working class is fighting for the same. Trump is just a 2024 Margaret Sanger...without the love of eugenics.; १६/५/२४, ९:२९ PM
Gusty Winds म्हणाले...: If a colonist during the American Revolution implemented a stance of cruel neutrality, were they then sympathetic to the the divine right of Kings granted to George III...or at least willing to tolerate it? Did they believe all men were "kind of" created equal?

If an Americans from the civil war border states the took a stance of cruel neutrality, we're they partially pro-slavery....or at least tolerate it? Why not just keep he 3/5s rule in place? It's been working. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was an attempt at neutrality, which sparked a civil war.

The Swiss implemented cruel neutrality during WWII, but they weren't promoting peace...they were just avoiding the fight. Everyone was fighting for self-preservation. Luckily for the Swiss, they had banks with secret accounts. They didn't need weapons. The Swiss Army knife was good enough.

In 2024 if you implement a policy of cruel neutrality, are you then tolerant of censorship? Weaponizing the courts? Voter fraud? Medical tyranny?

Our modern US Court system and judges are showing us blind justice does not, and has never existed. It is beyond the human capability. It's a delusional illusion.

Whoever wins in 2024, I don't think either side will be handing out purple ribbons.; १६/५/२४, १०:०६ PM
Gusty Winds म्हणाले...: I'm now certain Trump didn't fuck Stormy Daniels. I'm kind of disappointed.

If it turns out Trump didn't fuck Karen McDougal...

I'll be voting for RFK Jr.; १६/५/२४, १०:१८ PM

Humperdink म्हणाले...: Biden aides have told him to double down on his claim that inflation was running at 9% when he took office. Confused, he started babbling that inflation was 18%.; १७/५/२४, ५:२५ AM
Christopher B म्हणाले...: @Gusty Winds

Well, to paraphrase a guy with some experience in that arena, it depends on what the meaning of 'fuck' is.

Prof Althouse's observation during Daniel's testimony, that she was telling an irrefutable lie to avoid telling one that could be refuted, happened to come to mind yesterday. I don't know if any one brought this up but it dawned on me that what she really wanted to lie about, but couldn't, is whether she consented to the activity. I'm fairly sure Bragg et al coached her to construct her testimony to be as close to E Jane Carroll's fantasy life as possible. Given her many other statements regarding the encounter Daniels couldn't make a bald faced claim she was raped by Trump but "I can't remember" is a pretty prominent feature in both.

So I'm pretty certain he engaged in what most people would consider sexual activity with both women.; १७/५/२४, ५:३९ AM
Christopher B म्हणाले...: To clarify "both" was meant to indicate Daniels and McDougal, not Daniels and Carroll.; १७/५/२४, ५:४२ AM

Howard म्हणाले...: April Apple: Outrage: Harrison Butker Shared Catholic Views At A Catholic University.

1). Hiding hatred under the cloak of religion, eg God Hates Fags

2) Claiming a pro football player speaks truth on behalf of the Catholic Church by contradicting the Most Holy Father Pope Francis, Christ's mouthpiece on Earth.

According to Catholic tradition, the pope is the successor of St. Peter, the first pope, and represents a direct line to Jesus. The pope is the bishop of Rome and has supreme power over the church in matters of faith, morals, discipline, and government. Catholics see Jesus as being present in the papacy.

It makes perfect sense you people disavow the foot washing compassionate Pope and pine for the days of worshipping a Hitler Youth friend of the pedophile priesthood Pope.; १७/५/२४, ६:१६ AM

These are the people telling you how to live your life. They should all audition for House Wives of Congress. Embarrassing conduct.

We are ruled by stupid, corrupt, incompetent morons.; १७/५/२४, ६:१७ AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: Howard -
1)When did he say 'god hates fags"?

2) We see your outrage at a Catholic speaking to Catholics - and laugh.

LOL - you leftists sure do turn on a dime. First - you hate christian and Christianity. But the Pope is cool? Why is the pope suddenly OK with you? ARe you Catholic yourself?

LOL - You adore your fake Catholic Pelosi and fake Catholic Biden - 2 rich white leftist CROOKS.; १७/५/२४, ८:०६ AM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...: So Howard - you are saying the Only The Pope can talk to God? Only Pope Francis represents God/Jesus- is the only sovereign conduit to God? Only Pope Francis should be obeyed? Only Pope Francis is the King of the Catholics? Is that what you are telling us?

Obey the POPE! says White left 'Merican Howard. LOL.; १७/५/२४, ८:१६ AM

"It makes perfect sense you people disavow the foot washing compassionate Pope and pine for the days of worshipping a Hitler Youth friend of the pedophile priesthood Pope."

What the F are you yammering on about?

the Hitler Youth are alive and well in the pro-Hamas movement. All leftists.
Only the Pope is compassionate? How so?
Christian churches of all denominations - all over the nation help the needy and the poor without fanfare or praise. All while the corrupt liar left in places like Hollywood, lie about them.; १७/५/२४, ८:५१ AM
Dr Weevil म्हणाले...: Apparently Howard is too lazy or too stupid to know that Benedict XVI also washed feet every Holy Thursday, though he, like his predecessors, followed Christ's example in washing only men's feet. The current pope added women, and this year washed only women's feet, and only prisoners at a women's prison.

As for the Hitler Youth canard, does Howard not know that every German boy was enrolled on his 14th birthday, even if he was from an anti-Nazi family, as Ratzinger was? What kind of moron or liar (the two are not mutually exclusive) do you have to be to blame him for what he had no control over?; १७/५/२४, ११:४० AM
