It’s not the constitution but the other holy scripture of the founders does literally begin with “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…”

It’s fun pretending to ignore slavery entirely and read someone like Calhoun be entirely correct about how terrible northern capital was.

The constitution does have a mechanism (amendments) where by it can be modified so as to allow a state to leave the union.

Like, you can’t be all, “it’s out right to choose our laws through the democratic process” and then when you don’t like those laws just break your bonds and walk off. You know, the whole “we the people” bit is the thing that makes the country a country. Saying you can just ignore that democratic result nullifies the whole deal and then you’re just another authoritarian despot putting your will above others.

Rebelling from a king whose will has been forced upon you by right of arms is actually entirely different.

He does have a point, if the slaves didn't like slavery they should have used their democratic rights to change the laws.

Look, you can’t just not buy the stamps. They were properly passed by the parliament. I didn’t see any of you complaining when we sent the army into the interior to kick some French rear end. Oh but now it’s time to pay for your own defense and you’re all “ohh my poor rights of Englishmen are being trampled.” Boo loving hoo.

She's just a contrarian, she frequently appears on Tucker, even guest hosting for him - his program is stolidly anti-NATO and pro-Russia and frequently shown in excerpt on Russian political shows. She supported Assad ffs. I don't think she's a Russian cutout but in her reflexive opposition to the post WWII international order in the name of anti-imperialism, she ends up on the side of Baathists and what is clearly a revanchist imperial campaign from the world's most reactionary state. She is a useful idiot. I don't have a comment on if she's sincere in her beliefs or if she just sees it as a path to popularity. Oh also she's a massive bigot, she definitely hates Indian Muslims and possibly all Muslims and supports Modi

She refused to get any sort of Cold Warrior ideal, bond, heritage, or background. Instead going all in on a strange Religious Cult build that causes glitches in people not looking for a religious wing nut in our current ideological screwball political ecosystem.

I'm not saying the CIA is behind everything bad. I am saying that they almost always at least have a rep in the room with who is.

Aside from the obvious Trump failchildren parallels, the really funny part about the whole chud obsession with Hunter is that unlike the Clintons or even Obamas, the airing of the Bidens' dirty laundry always ends up making Joe look more sympathetic and relatable as a politician.

There's no connections to Epstein, no schmoozing with rock stars, etc. Just a father who's had to deal with huge personal loss and handle a drug-addled son who can't stop loving up but in ways that most Americans find endearing or admirable.

Some business/finance oriented newspapers can be absolutely savage.

Here's an excerpt from an editorial from the Financial Times that was just published.

quote:

Some long-dated gilts have crashed more than bitcoin this year. UK 10-year borrowing costs are near those of Italy. A deeply unhelpful rift — more reminiscent of emerging markets than a G7 economy — is growing between ministers and the central bank over who caused turbulence in financial markets. In short order, Liz Truss’s government has presided over less Britannia Unchained — the book she and her chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, co-authored — and more Britannia Unhinged.
