Vance చెప్పారు...: So my local paper belated published an article on the SPLC thing... and all the local leftists are saying "But Trump!" Not a single one of them has said that paying white supremicists to riot is bad or wrong. They all think that calling out the SPLC is wrong though. But actually funding racism. etc. in order to claim you are fighting against it? It appears Democrats are all absolutely fine with it... even while they accuse every Republican of being a white supremecist while it is their own side doing all of it. Has a single Democrat or leftist anywhere apologized for screaming about Trump and Charlottesville yet? Anyone? Has Chuck in whatever name he is using had the integrity to apologize yet?

Of course not. They won't touch it. Just go on claiming Trump and the right are "Racist nazis because of charlottesville" despite it all being their own side.; 22-04-26 8:25 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: This is an amazing achievement on Trump's part. Something I noticed in this chart: Trump's disapproval rating is now worse than his personal unfavorable rating in a meaningful sense for an extended period for the first time ever. There are now people who see Trump as a good man but a bad president like Jimmy Carter. Fathoming the mind of someone who sees Trump as a good man but a bad president like Jimmy Carter probably unlocks whatever secrets the Gnostics were talking about.

Jupiter చెప్పారు...: Pondering my pond ... I concluded that there is simply no evolutionary basis for a policy of mutual coexistence. The cat-tails and the tiger-lily both need almost exactly the same resources. And either one could grow to where it denies the other access to those resources. Under those circumstances, the only logical policy is to grow as fast as you can, so as to be the one that does the denying.

But this raises the question, why do so many humans think that a policy of "live and let live" is not only possible, but preferable? I would suggest that
1) there is a concept of the self and the other. One favors the self, as against the other.
2) but the other is defined in physical, bodily terms. What is not me, is other.
3) and the development of family preference requires the recognition of something that is not physically self, but is not practically other. My family is not my enemy.
This process takes many forms. At one end, the bacteria that form colonies on rocks in rivers, and have a sketchy sort of mutual recognition. At the other end, the social insects, in which the recognition is so complete that the real organism is the hive. The queen is the sexual organ of the hive, and the workers are the cells. They cannot reproduce themselves, but the queen can reproduce the entire entity, including them.

Now, this actually answers an important question - why do women find it so difficult to recognize that foreigners are enemies, with interests inimical to their own? Because women are designed to be the nuclei of families. Biology has off-loaded defense against enemies to males.; 22-04-26 9:29 PM
DINKY DAU 45 చెప్పారు...: To be expected, start out having Texas cheat and gerrymander and then we they start a fight they couldnt win they whine about it. Trump sitting on almost 600 million dollars and DEMOCRATS outspend Repubs over 2-1. wtf?
Democrats won late because the same‑day, urban, and mail‑in ballots that lean heavily Democratic were counted later in the evening, flipping the totals after Republicans led earlier in the day.
Why Republicans looked ahead early if you knew how to handica ,check the past performances this would be obvious to you franklin county didnt start reporting till late in day.thats how the voting there works.
Early tallies in Virginia often come from rural, conservative‑leaning precincts that report quickly. These areas tend to show strong Republican numbers early in the night. That’s exactly what happened here — the “No” vote (the GOP‑backed side) looked competitive or ahead during the day.
What changed as the night went on? Watch the tally board and the chart readers they'll explain it to you and you can watch as it happens.
As the larger, denser, Democratic‑leaning regions — especially the Northern Virginia suburbs — finished counting, the “Yes” vote surged. These areas had:higher turnout,more mail‑in and early votes,and a strong Democratic lean,
and they were counted later in the process. Once those votes dropped, the referendum flipped to Democrats by a narrow margin. With 97% reporting, the “Yes” side held about 51.5% to 48.5%.
Money and messaging also mattered and trump sat on his pile.
Democrats massively outspent Republicans, nearly 2‑to‑1, which helped them dominate late‑breaking persuasion and turnout operations. GOP strategists themselves admitted they were outgunned and lacked national support.
A late Trump effect backfired bigly.
Multiple reports noted that Donald Trump’s eleventh‑hour push may have actually energized Democratic‑leaning voters, increasing late turnout in the very regions that report last. Democratic leaders even credited this for helping them close the gap Republicans led early because their strongest precincts report first. Democrats won because their strongest precincts — larger, later‑reporting, and boosted by heavy spending and late mobilization — came in afterward and flipped the result. If you handicapped the race,did your homework you would understand this but of course whiners when they lose claim its rigged, a standard MAGA mantra now. When you start a fught at least be able to win, another brain dead move the cheaters cheating in texas are mad because the other guys did the same in Virginia. Like i said its comical that rigging the gerrymandered states starting with texas blames the winners of cheating! That's pretty comical..The man baby stays true to form and his jim jones following sing right along. CMON MAN.. reds started it ,blues beat em back. Dont worry more to come.. Do your homework ,look at odds and past performances , everybody knew that kid n th eblock would get beat and say im taking my ball home so you cant play... since the beginning of time.... :( beaucoup dinky dau.; 22-04-26 9:52 PM
Jupiter చెప్పారు...: In my pond, the cat-tails are not going to overpower the tiger-lilies, for the simple reason that I don't want them to. And I am in a position to impose my desires on the plants in my pond. Thus any attempt, by either of them, to achieve absolute dominance, will result in my whacking them back. They would do better to thrive to the extent they can, without drawing my attention. Unless I die, or lose interest. Then they had better be ready to fill that power vacuum.

This is why men think about the Roman Empire. Frankly, any man who thinks about the Roman Empire less than 15 times a day is shirking. And shirking is why the Roman Empire collapsed.

You don't have to regard the Roman Empire as a perfect state of affairs, to recognize that it imposed order and suppressed piracy, and that order is preferable to anarchy.; 22-04-26 10:01 PM

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Hmm. So instead of the mullahs in charge, the generals, who generally (hee!) are more reality-based, control Iran. And these particular generals, in addition to being based in the reality of combat, are embedded in the reality of commerce. The last gleeful martyrs they had (not counting their Hezb, Sadr-ite and Hamas stooges) died 40 years ago - these generals are the guys smart enough to survive. They notionally believe in Twelver Shia stuff, just like they notionally grow beards with their Miami Vice stubble. They're probably much more likely to surrender to Trump. CC, JSM; 23-04-26 10:00 AM
