Lefties Unhappy b/c Their Patronage Network Being Dismantled; Righties Unhappy b/c of 20 Years of Discrimination Against White Men

That's basically the size of it:

Leftists feel despair because their patronage networks are being dismembered piece by piece. Trump supporters feel despair because they were locked out of career development by DEI racial discrimination and suffered 18 years of decline since 2008. That's what's driving this. https://t.co/7glEYUZ6JW pic.twitter.com/n7D6s5nGWY

Jamelle Bouie is an Idiot

Still.

Still an idiot.

This isn't worth watching.

I just think the guy deserves ridicule:

UK: Labour Gets Whupped

Of course none of the "five things we've learned" from this, according to the AP, is: Britains don't want to be replaced on their own island(s). I mean, of course they're "anti-immigration"...(and razizt, as goes without saying...)

Well, anyway, good news.

Maybe Farage and Reform can save the Brits from themselves...but I'm not all that optimistic.

The Redistricting Decision Meltdown

I think it's important not to gloat at times like this.

You get a cheap, fleeting charge from it, but it just stokes the fires of resentment and division.

...

buuut...

The lefty meltdown sure is irritating.

People who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about are declaring this the greatest injustice in the history of the Commonwealth.

Listen:

As we now say, just take the 'L.'

And, yeah, I know I'd be singing a different tune if it had gone the other way...

...but...

TBF

We're right and you're wrong.

AOC: "You Can't Earn a Billion Dollars"

Some of my best friends are lefties...

...but...honestly...I kinda think that socialism is economics for people who have never read a book on economics...

There are, in fact--and of course--many ways to earn a billion dollars.

Here's one:

Make a thousand widgets that people will pay a million dollars each for.

I used to have a crush--a very embarrassing crush--on AOC...but I think I'm gettin' over it...

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Michelle Jump came from Henrico to protest the Supreme Court of Virginia’s ruling.

She is shouting “shame” and says the Supreme Court silenced the people.

SCOVA Slaps Down VA Gerrymandering

Thank you, sweet baby Jesus.

KBJ's Campaign Against the Court

The DEI Justice strikes (out) again...

Among Joe Biden's many crimes against the nation, appointing her is one of the worst.

Also: expect more court-packing-talk by Dems.

Also: I wish Thomas and Alito--great as they are--would retire. There's a decent chance that Trump fatigue will land us with a Democrat president and Senate by '28...and, though both Justices may have five-ish years left in them, I doubt that they have all that much more.

And again: thank the powers what be for Mitch McConnell. Without him, we'd have Justice Merrick Garland...

Totalitarian Lefty Students Surround and Restrain Cornell President, Pretend He Hit Them With His Car

These people really are evil psychos.

I'm not sure there's any cause that would motivate me to act in such a cowardly, dishonorable, ignoble way. It's like they're some loathsome combination of femininity gone bad and childishness. The disgraceful "weaponization" of weakness.

No political cause is worth turning yourself into that.

The Fight to Free Hundreds of Beagles from a Rural WI Research Lab

Don't ask me to be rational about this...

Yes, we need to know more about how the dogs are being treated...and I'm against this sort of vigilantism generally...and I'm already on record against the left's new view that it gets to decide which laws are enforced and which aren't...

But I'm really just not sure I can be sufficiently dispassionate about it.

Dogs are not like rats.

Trump Convinces IN GOP to Shoot Itself in the Ass...to Avenge its [checks notes] Responsible Decision on Gerrymandering

Yeah, but the thing is, he's actually playing 12D shoot-yourself-in-the-ass...

Cornell President Refuses to Kow-tow to Anti-Israel Leftist Shitbags

I'd have been sorely tempted to punch 'em in their shitty little faces...but, then, that's what they want. They'd suddenly love the justice system...

The story

Of course what happened was that they surrounded his car and one of them moved behind it as the dude backed out. The car bumped him, and he cried like a little baby.

Such faggotry...

Longshot

FBI Raids Offices of Louise Lucas, OD State Senator Louise Lucas, Spanberger Ally / Advocate of Spanmandering

git 'er!

The Spanmander: Reports of Echoes of Rumors of Tea-Leaf Readings

Word on the web is that signs point to no re: the spanmander (spanbermander? spanbergmander? spanbergermander? spanbergermanderer?) going down in flames at SCOVA.

Not a lawyer...

But there are just so many obvious violations that I will be pretty damn surprised if the spanmander--actually the most notable district looks like a lobster, not a lizard--stands.

Looks like FL is going to balance out VA anyway...and when their VA project fails...boom...four more red seats...

I detest gerrymandering...but, to my discredit, I also can't resist cheering when the blues lose these days.

HMD: NYT's Latte Logic of Social Collapse

savage

I watched part of that podcast/discussion/video/whatever-it-is...

Boy.

Those are just about the most irritating three people you'll find anywhere.

Here are three harmful things about Continental philosophy:

[1] Much of it is utter bullshit.

[2] It's highly politicized bullshit--it isn't just easy to cram into a political discussion--that's basically what it's designed for.

[3] It is the easiest thing in the world to mouth bits of it...which...however mangled...aren't really all that much worse than the original, presumably non-mangled versions.

The quote Mac Donald extracts from the discussion are almost some combination of hilarious and appalling.

What abject dumbassery.

It doesn't help that these are rich, shit-head nepo babies (as we now, apparently, say).

Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch are Done with KBJ

🚨 HOLY CRAP!! Justices Sam Alito and Clarence Thomas just PUMMELED Ketanji Jackson's dissent, calling it "trivial at best, and the other is baseless and INSULTING"

🔥🔥

David Cattron: Dems May Not Survive the Callais Ruling

I want a sane, center-left Democrat party--not no Democrat party at all.

But beggars can't be choosers...

That Maine Dem with a Totenkopf Tattoo

I don't care about this.

Except for the wacko double standards of the left.

(The right does it too...but, as usual, the contemporary left has dialed it to 11...)

The vocal vanguard of the contemporary left thinks that everybody right of Bernie Sanders is a Nazi. They think Trump is a Nazi. They think that anyone on the right to raises his hand to wave is doing a Heil Hitler. Calling their interlocutors and opponents "Nazis" and "Fascists" has become almost a verbal tic with them...

...but having an SS tattoo...see...that's obviously not Nazi. What could you even be thinking?

I haven't heard his story. Maybe he's just amazingly ignorant of history? That seems more likely to me than that he's a Nazi. Go to any university campus and wander around the humanities and social science departments--you'll see a lot of hammers and sickles...and those are somewhat more difficult to blame on ignorance...though easier than you might think...

I mean, if all I know about the guy is that he's got that tattoo, I wouldn't vote for him...but that's probably not all Maine voters know about him.]

It's more relevant to me that he's a Democrat...for that there's no excuse...

But, again: I don't care.

A Cease-Fire Doesn't Stop the Clock on the War Powers Act

Jesus Christ what a stupid f*cking argument.

I am not a lawyer...but you don't have to be.

Jesus I'm fed up with this administration.

They've done a genuinely mind-boggling amount of good stuff...but they say such flat-out stupid shit sometimes...

I'm in stage 4 Trump fatigue.
