When the Supreme Court struck down Biden's policies, it was tempting to think: "At least these limits on executive authority will bind Trump if he comes back into office." But no—the court's skepticism of executive power vanished on Jan. 20, 2025. This dynamic is obvious to anyone paying attention!

They do not recognize your authority to throw a flag. They will not be accepting your penalty. They will continue committing fouls with impunity.

It’s time to take our ball and go home.

No, I’m fully aware. We have reached that point. Fixing this problem is no longer possible within the framework the right has decided does not apply to them.

You are like a kid at a pickup football game shouting trying to throw a flag on fouls the other side is blatantly committing.

Rightlibs are totally fine with state power so long as it is used against the poor, minorities, or other disenfranchised/disempowered groups.

This is why you need not ever take them seriously.

Lane Stellmaker @hipcrimevocab.net · 2h

Rightlibs stole the label. They were authoritarian tax protesters who were fine with state power, just not taxation, and rothbard and co stole the label from “libertarian socialists” or anarchists, the only ones truly skeptical of state power.

True libertarians are right about a lot (not all) things. The problem is, there are only about 7 of them, and they've all been banned from official libertarian conferences.

Oh, everyone here knows it too. But if you're in the correct political party and know lots of rich donors, no one cares what you do because the only thing that matters is you use your power to get more of them elected.

He *was* indicted, but his buddies on the highest criminal court ruled that his friends in the county government could deny funds to the attorneys appointed to prosecute him, thereby effectively rendering his prosecution impossible.

Even if you just use canned beans and cook it this way, they turn out loads better. The problem with the canned beans is they're never seasoned enough. The genuine article are always usually seasoned more, usually with a frying oil that imparts a flavor instead of just vegetable oil.

Lane Stellmaker @hipcrimevocab.net · 11h

When the beans are thoroughly heated, add some pickled jalapeno juice, some pickled jalapenos, and shredded queso oxaca. Cook a little longer until smooth and just serve with warm tortillas.

If you want to make frijoles puercos, which are the superior refried bean, all you do is intstead of starting your refritos with lard, start by sauteeing some chorizo, then add a sofrito of tomatoes, garlic, onions, and a chile. Once that's nice and incorporated, add your bean puree and cook.

Lane Stellmaker @hipcrimevocab.net · 11h

Once you get the technique down, you can overnight frijoles de la olla constantly, and always have a pot of beans ready. Just use an immersion blender and you've got the perfect base for refritos: toss the puree in with a little bacon grease or lard and fry it up.

my brother, my brother. Canned refried beans? Who hurt you?

Lane Stellmaker @hipcrimevocab.net · 12h

onions will do that to ya

That was a stellar example of their ability to turn anything in the field into a weapon. In training, we used soup cans.

I was sent to study combat sambo in Dagestan as a youth, passing off of my forbidden learning as a strange combination of pencak silat, kali, muay thai, and judo. I have personally trained every one of our elite shock troops to a degree that no US military or law enforcement can match.

I have been the High Marshal in charge of the Antifa Supersoldier Hand-to-Hand Combat training regime since Barack Obama appointed me to the position.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:
