Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

When will we see some movement on the Cohen poo poo?

I mean this chart is telling you the opposite but OK if you want this think this.

I mean, literally, the rise in Democratic party affiliation mirrors the entire Boomer generation (which would have been 69-49 when this poll was taken.) And it is the early Gen-Xers, born 64-74, who have equal numbers of Dem/Reps.

White people doing this kind of poo poo is tacitly accepted by the law as long as they don't go so far as actually killing people.

Yeah, partly because the prosecution screwed the pooch by assuming it was a slam dunk, and a few sovcit idiots snuck into the jury pool. Pretty much only the guy who plead guilty and LaVoy "Tarpman" Finicum have really faced any sort of legal consequence (Yes, I'm including being shot by a LEO a legal consequence, especially when you're a) white as all hell and b) lowered your hands to your holster multiple times while screaming "SHOOT ME!" until the cop gets over your whiteness.)

awesmoe posted:

wasn't that mostly on the juries, not the prosecutors?

A little of column A, a little of column B. Prosecutors were kinda lazy about it, but there was some shenanigans with at least one sovcit on the jury doing his best to confuse everyone into submission...and somehow convincing everyone the solid Guilty juror he couldn't befuddle was the one that should be replaced.

I'm not sold yet on the idea they get out of this with no consequences whatsoever.

Last I heard Bundy Sr. was still in prison waiting for the DOJ to bring up charges for his original attempt to fight back against BIG GUVMUNT. And besides, his family has had much of their assets seized and with Bundy out of the way someone could finally clean up the feral, parasite ridden herd of "cattle" Bundy claimed as his. So yeah, not fully free. Though free enough that one of the sons think time's right for him to try for public office.

This is the real travesty of the whole thing. They physically destroyed the sanctuary by being the absolute opposite of "responsible people" they claimed to be. Destroying electronics like monitoring devices, "hacking" and stealing data from the computers, destroying and damaging personal belongings of the people employed there, cutting down fences, tearing up property with a bulldozer, ransacking and leaving the buildings full of garbage, destroyed native artifacts, and left literal poo poo everywhere because a hole in the ground for making GBS threads was too complex an idea. They ruined a period of life for the locals around them, terrorized the nearest town and stalked/death threatened the local sheriff and his family, and even got tarp man killed, and kept a group of people in limbo as they couldn't return to work and had to worry about these assholes gathering info on them and coming after them.

And after the dust cleared they got a slap on the wrist at worst and sent on their way.

The only real good that came of it was the wave of "you guys are retards" via dildos and dick gummies and the hilarious ending with Mark the FBI negotiator taunting the last holdouts till they surrendered for the promise of a cookie

You’re forgetting the 80’s yuppie Regan Republican shift, ie the “Alex Keaton” type. Most early Gen X shifted this way, while the latter was the 50/50 split you refer to.

It's interesting how Republican dissatisfaction has translated into more Independents rather than more Democrats. But it also means this is kind of a useless graph compared to something comparing liberal vs conservative identification. I assume 50% of teens aren't voting for Independents.

Just this line from his wikipedia page is hilarious in and of itself.

During Goldsmith's tenure at the Office of Legal Counsel, he wrote at least two legal memos authorizing a program known as Stellar Wind; his memos said that the president has inherent constitutional power to monitor Americans' communications without a warrant in a time of war.

So a real CHUD then
