  • Anyone who thinks undocumented immigrants don’t deserve in-state tuition in Texas is a racist bigot. That sounds extreme, but that’s really what it comes down to - a fundamental belief that immigrants are not full human beings. There is no motive accept for racial animus behind this. There is no reasonable position to oppose giving them in-state tuition.

    Why? BECAUSE TEXAS HAS NO INCOME TAX.

    Texas is funded entirely by sales tax, property tax, and various fees. Someone living in Texas illegally pays all the same taxes as someone in the country legally.

    Texas is happy to exploit immigrant labor. But they want to be able to use people and then throw them in the landfill when they’re done with them. Typical conservatives.



  • Reincarnation is real. Every soul reincarnates to vastly different lives. Some male. Some female. Some rich. Some poor. Some live long. Some live tragically short. And every soul in time works every trade and profession under the Sun.

    Well, every soul but Ea-nāṣir. Ea-nāṣir is special. He’s just a shitty metal merchant in life after life after life. Somehow he’s found the exact perfect karmic balance that he just keeps re-rolling the same character class and background one life after the next. This one guy’s been cheating people on copper, bronze, iron and steel shipments for three thousand years.



  • Remember, law enforcement is directly responsible for almost all violence that coincides with protests. The cops will send the entire police force down to harass the protesters. Every pig is a psycho that deep down just wants to beat on some innocent people. So no cop wants to turn down a chance to beat down some peaceful protesters.

    With all the cops attending the protest, the rest of the city is now undefended. Looters take advantage of this. Rob a store while all the cops are busy harassing protesters. Police love this as it gives more excuses to increase their budget.


  • Eisenhower had one option to remove the National Guard from Faubus’s control. The president could issue an executive order based on the Insurrection Act of 1807, codified in Title 10 of the U.S. Code under sections 332 to 334 (since renumbered as 252 to 254). Section 332, regarding the “use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority,”

    Trump hasn’t invoked the Insurrection Act. He is explicitly in violation of federal law here. The act that he used to activate these troops doesn’t allow the president to take authority of the guard away from the governor.




  • The problem is Democrats are cowards. Newsom has so many options he’s not even trying to use. For example, he could give his own contradicting orders to the California National Guard troops. After all, those would be the only legal orders given to the Guard. Trump is flagrantly violating the law here. If that didn’t work, he could announce that he’s putting any Guard troop deployed by Trump on immediate leave. They’re now on vacation and can walk off base at will. If that doesn’t work, he could defund the troops involved. You’re not getting paid for your time following illegal orders.

    Instead, Democrats are cowards, so they make tired cringe jokes about Tacos.
