I think you got it flipped. Virgils argument was that the military isnt going to back Trump against Biden as Biden isnt a threat to their power and having military backing is a necessary step to coup, you literally cannot execute a coup without it.

https://twitter.com/virgiltexas/status/1307894472475324416?s=20

The argument, and I think he's right, is that the idea Trump will soundly lose and then just refuse to leave while everyone stands with their dicks in their hands is insane. What will happen is the GOP will ratfuck the election results if its really close and the DNC will tacitly accept it because it already happened before, most obviously in 2000.
This was more of less the point arrived at in the Chapo episode. The Biden bit was just a joke hypothetical. After which they dismissed the full coup type thing going through in favor of court fuckery ala 2000.

I will argue that like a lot of older trains the Red Army's equipment all makes sense from an engineer's point of view, particularly the guy who has to fix it. So I could see even non-communist old guys liking it for the same reason they love those old cars they could fix themselves before everything was plastic.

The FBI and other intel agencies keeping an eye on Trump and his links with Russians, although not in a way which would stop him rising to be the President, and probably having a Deep State or whatever in Government that stopped Trump from being as awesome as he could have been.

I am not going to be happy unless a whole shitload of info comes out about Trump's collaboration with Russia, which probably means I won't ever be happy. I'll become my own version of a Freeper.
Bruh they killed a literal Alex Jones level pedophile cabal man who supplied the president and at least one past president with child sex slaves in front of you with constant news coverage and then pretended nothing happened. Anything Trump did with Russia was either unimportant or considered fair play by his fellow reptilians.

While the Chevaliers were also psychos, it is important to remember that when they won the Puritans did commit genocide. Idealizing either side of the English Civil War kinda marks you as a very okay with war crimes.

Terrible Opinions

Charles's execution had way more to do with his refusal to make any official surrender than it did the actions of his side of the war. He kept escaping jail and raising yet another army only to be beaten again. Which yes needed a permanent solution. You can't have the king starting a new civil war every time you let him out of your site for more than 10 minutes. I just honestly have very little ability to sympathize with the guys who immediately after killing him decided to go commit genocide against the Irish. Substantial differences can only really be drawn up if you think war crimes against the English are somehow worse than warcrimes against the Irish.

Which yeah it's werhabooish to like the Chevaliers or Charles 1, but genuinely liking Cromwell and the other Puritans is similarly weird. As opposed to the American Civil War where the Union are straight up the better side, and thankfully didn't spend much time playing into the Confederates weird rear end roleplaying.

It should be noted the same laws used to imprison Hitler for five years were used to just straight up execute communists. Democrats will do the same thing with any new anti-terrorist laws.

edit: same way that if the capital rioters had been of middle eastern descent or black they would have simply shot every single one of them then and there.

I can't believe I'd ever be jealous of a Fox News commenter, but I've had authentic birria before and here we are.

I bet you could fairly easily get freepers/related to believe that "cilantro sauce" is walnut sauce but from Mexican children.

I mean, that's an impressive photo on timing alone, and some of the little details in the case made me chuckle. They spent five months digging the tunnel (dedication!), told the landlord they were sculpting students, and the assassins themselves passed themselves off as electricians. Also this is definitely a rare case where you do have to give it to 'em, as Blanco sounds like he was a monster right up until the moment his life was ogre.

All this Antichrist talk reminds me of one of my favorite Biblical "translations" from the eons.

The mark of the beast in all accepted early "editions" of the Bible was 616. Monks just started using 666 around the 7th century for no real reason, other than it looking scarier. I guess?

Entirely possible it was just a very influential copy mistake.

Isn't Blue State California by far the biggest producer of food anyway?
No it has the highest food value of any state, but Iowa and Nebraska each out produce it in terms of pounds of produce. California by an large doesn't produce the same food as the rest of the country very little wheat, corn, pork, or soybeans. Instead you get weird stats like California producing nearly 100% of American almonds and that accounting for 10%ish of their overall food sales.

I get hypothetically having a confederate flag for like a six flags over Texas deal, that is actually a part of their history. California though is displaying the flag of an enemy.

The park doesn't even have a Mexican or Spanish flags. All the other flags are flags of the Revolution, the United States proper, or Calfironia. Good lord no non-racist reason to include the Confederate flag among those. Certainly no non-racist reason to replace it in the 1980s and arrest the people who tore it down.

Yeah it is misleading, but only so much as your statement that it was taken down by her. It was taken down each time by protestors. The city apparatus as a whole eventually stopped replacing it. Does replacing a flag count as "flying" it any less than failing to replace it once torn down count as "taken down"?

Don't most people have older relatives? Even without a specific diagnosis at a certain point varying by person all old people will lose the daily energy to do a full time job. Grandpa needs naps throughout the day, and if you make him skip those he's gonna be incoherent. Most men in their 80s can't reasonably be active as long as the job of president demands of Biden at this point, again even if their brain does work just fine after a good sleep. He ain't making mistakes a normal adult would, because he's not a normal adult he's an old man who should have retired. Unfortunately most of the other options are also old men who should have retired, and we have evidently as a country have removed the ability to tell any grandpa they're too old to do what they used to do every day.
