Eric is blocking the road to serfdom

@LightOnLiberty Why isn’t political violence like this always considered a n hate crime?

61-year-old Christine Jones was shot in the back and killed while walking into her job in Madison. She was murdered by her former co-worker strickly because she supported President Trump. Liberal media is ignoring it because a black woman murdered a white conservative. Shouldn't this democrat violence towards conservatives be considered a racial hate crime?

@SaveMeeJeebus @neoavatara They specifically excluded another group born in the US not subject to the jurisdiction.

@lbyron @neoavatara It's abundantly clear from the senatorial debate over the amendment that they were talking about newborns of ambassadors and foreign ministers when talking about people not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States.

The constitutional phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is the right wing's equivalent of the Left's use of "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..." to try to twist the original meaning of the Constitution.

Republicans in Congress were supposed to solidify the law with legislation. You didn't. Therefore Democrats can run out the clock with lawsuits or activist judiciary b/c Republicans in Congress failed to act. Don't feign surprise our outrage, y'all are doing exactly what you want to do

@LukithunderEWC @JustinWStapley It’s not. He’s supporting it.

@JustinWStapley I agree with this, but how does this meaningfully differ from the argument Justice Jackson was trying to make regarding Japan and stealing a wallet there?

If illegal immigrants are not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" under what authority can the federal government deport them? This is the problem with living constitutionalism and consequentialism, it seeks to craft constitutional law that is a tangle of knots, twists, and turns to wrest the foundational document of our republic toward whatever fancy the zeitgeist arrives at. The originalist path not only makes more sense but actually accomplishes the whole point of having a written constitution...the consistent application of the rule of law according to text, history, and tradition.

@neoavatara The object is not necessarily to win. Lawfare has other benefits like being costly and digging up other information.

Basically this is why the AG job under Trump sucks. He wants more prosecutions. But those cases are really weak. So you can try to prosecute, but you'll probably lose, giving his enemy a win. Legally, politically, etc. And who will take the blame? Not Trump, that's for sure.

Rape is a form of warfare, a strategy for domination and subjugation, not anti-racism.

@AI_EmeraldApple @TheAliceSmith Rape is a form of warfare, a strategy for domination and subjugation, not anti-racism.

At first, I couldn't fucking believe this was a real article. So I had to look it up... and it's real. This is some deranged, evil nonsense, man... no amount of ideological spin turns a sexual assault into some noble "assimilation tool". This is just morally bankrupt. Then they use a linguistic sleight-of-hand to dress up sexual assault as some quirky "cultural misunderstanding"... Fucking disgusting. Anything "quasi" = not consensual = sexual assault... no such thing as a "kinda raped" category that magically fixes racism. 🤡

@TheAliceSmith Our pay for your healthcare when your lifestyle makes you chronically ill and debilitated. Even if it’s only a bad diet, smoking or alcohol.

My basic principle is: If you’re an adult, have whatever lifestyle you want, under the law. Just don’t force me to fund it, celebrate it, consent to it, participate in it, learn about it, or take the consequences for it.

@malcolmkenyatta Remember when a U.S. President made his brother the AG. Check out how the Irish Capo went after the Italian Mob. End result? The Dead Kennedys. youtu.be/v_6USrg4p4A?si…

Trump literally just made his personal attorney the interim US Attorney General. The rot within this administration is endless.

Officially credentialed Pentagon press corps as of today, alongside my interpreter @DataInterpretr. First Deaf journalist to hold the badge. Thank you @JoelValdezDOW for moving mountains to make this unique arrangement possible. Naturally, the legacy media is invited to congratulate the Department of War on their commitment to press corps inclusiveness. This wouldn't have been possible without you. Every $3 subscription and every engagement opened this door. Now I'm going to use it. Military institutional capture research starts today.

@CynicalPublius @DataRepublican With the wrath of men who only wanted to be left alone.

RE: The True Evil of the Deep State Recent experience has taught me and many others that if someone wants to fight the status quo in American politics and government as a genuine conservative reformer, that person MUST be willing to expect relentless invasions of privacy, massive public slander and libel, threats of violence, the exposure of innocent friends and family to real threats and so many other disruptions: social, financial and emotional. This is no secret. This is why so many very capable men and women refuse to serve in government or politics. The Good Guys and Gals are good because they care about those in their circle and do not want them to see harm from things they had nothing to do with. But the Bad Guys and Gals—the ones who inhabit the Deep State, the ones for whom the endless cycle of government—NGO—law firm—ThinkTank—media—more government, rinse, wash repeat—is a full time career—they never really need to worry about any of this because the engines of harassment are inside that same Deep State they so eagerly join. In fact, for them those engines of harassment become engines of protection, as the Baddies are ensconced in the safety of the institutional entropy that surrounds them like a baby in the womb. This is why we keep losing to the Deep State—we can never muster enough of the right people because the right people put their friends and family first. So what does it take for a Good Guy or Gal to step up to the plate as a true conservative reformer and enter the arena of government or politics? Right now I see only three categories of people who can do this: 1. The truly brave with truly brave families and friends. 2. Those who can’t be touched because they are so far beyond the rest of us in terms of resources: Donald Trump, Elon, e.g. 3. Others who have little to lose. They don’t have families, or they are already poor, or they are old enough and well established enough, with grown kids and some level of financial independence, that the risk is lower for them (i.e.—retired people). This is a REALLY REALLY BAD phenomenon. Our system encourages the worst Americans to govern the rest of us and the best Americans to stay home to protect their friends and families. How do we get smart, capable, well-meaning, good-intentioned, YOUNG, conservative men and women to step up in the primes of their lives when they know there is an excellent chance everything they are striving to build will be wrecked before they can build it? How? (Remember, Charlie’s assassination was about sending a warning to the rest of us.) I don’t know the answer.

@jlippincott_ You should see the size of the pothole made by one of the 11 Iranian nukes.

Fixing this pothole is more important than bombing Iran.

He’s Nancy Pelosi’s nephew, right?

Wow

She was filing civil rights lawsuits on behalf of Trump supporters who were attacked by ANTIFA. In 2016. Who was around in 2016? It was almost impossible to find someone to handle these cases. Harmeet did. That's real OG status.

@Paul_Beauchemin @SKMorefield @jeffreytucker Or the roots of the word slave. Why 9/11 occurred same date as the Islamist defeat at Vienna in 1683. Why Vlad the Impaler massacred the Turks invading. Or what happened to the strong and vital Christian churches of North Africa. How hard the Spanish had to fight to get them out.

@SKMorefield @jeffreytucker Maybe research Marines and the verse “from the shores of Tripoli”

If we had just minded our own business regarding the Middle East over the last 75 years instead of constantly meddling, if we had never built a base, never sent an operative, never gave money, never did a single purposeful thing to cause instability or attempt to overthrow a regime we didn't like for one reason or another, if our involvement had been relegated only to friendly trading with partners willing to trade, the world would be exponentially safer than it is right now. I am a proud American and believe this country has done far more good than bad in its history, but it is an irrefutable fact that our actions in the Middle East have made things worse, not better, than they would have been in our absence.

@SKMorefield @jeffreytucker Nice assertion, and you may be right. There’s absolutely no way to know that though.
