Holy fuck, im a functional alcoholic and can only do a handle in 2 days, if I go on a bender. Even then, I feel like shit for a few days. How did you even manage that?

Not him, but I drank about the same for a long time. The more you drink, the better your liver is at dealing with it, and the more it takes to get you to the level of blacking out drunk. Not sure about Johnny, but the blackout drunk stage was my goal. It starts with a pint, and just scales up. At one point I was drinking half a gallon a day. (1.75l)

You keep thinking the Corwin Amendment is a gotcha. It's not.
Nothing about the amendment would've changed anything, slavery was already explicitly legal both constitutionally and through Supreme Court decisions.
The South was concerned that if there was enough support for an abolitionist amendment, then there was also enough support for an amendment overturning the Corwin Amendment. And they were right, it probably wouldn't have lasted more than a decade.

Also, I didn't say the North fought the war over slavery. The North fought the war over preserving the Union. The South seceded over slavery, as well as other factors that link back to slavery (State's rights to do what?). It was not the only cause, but absolutely the primary one.

I have made a thread for US Civil War discussion. Not that anyone here is being an asshole about it, but I could not find an existing thread and felt like there ought to be one since it's a beefy topic.

C'mon Trump.. Release MLK/JFK info Monday too.

I'm hoping this doesn't spook some senate RINOs into going against the appointees left now, wouldn't surprise me.

r/fednews on top of this post is sending me

I think it's a bit hard to understand for the average american but for a guy like me seeing civil servants get their shit handed to them is better than being the president of the united states. I love to see it.

So do we have zero standards for federal employees?

Until 11 days ago yes actually. It was basically just another form of gibs for libtards and niggers

"state's right to what"?"
The state's right to SECEDE over the massive tariffs and lack of representation!

and then he focuses on economics

I do hope he tackles the federal reserve

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

I thought it was a joke because Tammy Duckworth crashed her chopper then lost her legs then played hero to win her senate seat, but it's actually true it's a woman pilot and they're hiding her name. Hegseth needs to get on this, it's bad enough it's a woman, but if it was a Shaneeqwa....

I just don't want the lives of 67 people to be used like a foam baton in retarded political slapfights. We already have an anti-DEI president signing executive orders like he was signing autographs. As far as I'm concerned this issue is solved (or about to be) and pointing at a bunch of water-logged corpses going "SEE?" is just bad taste, regardless of party.

 

[COME ON OUT YOU RAPIST]

(State's rights to do what?)

This is a midwit trap and always has been.

It's like rebuking a first amendment advocate with "The right to say what?" and then mugging the camera because you 'know' the answer is to say nigger.

That's nice news.

I guess I want Trump to be an actual statesman. Too many presidents have been political creatures of the machine of democracy, not many have been great men directing the country to prosperity. I like that he seems to have this in mind too.

"state's right to what"?"
The state's right to SUCCEED over the massive tariffs and lack of representation!

It's spelled "secede", not trying to be a grammar nazi, just that "succeed" and "secede" are different words with different meanings.

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

bad taste

winning with bad taste >>>>> losing with dignity

I will hoist every dead puppy and kitten with a neon sign of DEMS DID THIS for a long, long time.
They tried to murder him repeatedly, deplatformed and tried to ruin his supporters or anybody they THOUGHT might have been.
As long as there's anything resembling the democrat party it needs to be kicked while it's down until the horse is so dead you're just beating a pile of elmers

I don't think you can blame the mid-air collision on DEI. ATC repeatedly ask PAT25 if they had the CRJ in sight and to maintain visual separation, which takes it out of the controller's hands. the only mistake i can see right now is the helicopter was flying at 300-350 feet which is above the 200 feet fight ceiling for that part of the helicopter corridor.

What likely happened is the Helo pilots either:

• mistook another plane for the CRJ (DC is incredibly busy airspace at any hour day or night)
• mistook ground lights as the CRJ
• Saw the correct CRJ but due to NVG's messing with depth perception mis read the situation

it also has to be mentioned that picking out the landing lights and marker lights of a aircraft against the ground clutter and lights of a city is very hard. especially if the plane is not moving against the background in the horizontal. at the time of collision the plane would have appeared stationary to the helo pilots because it was heading almost directly towards them. the pilots of the CRJ could not see the helo at all because it would have been below them and to their right.

I think the real problem here is having a helicopter flight corridor in the final descent pattern of a major airport, and with the ever increasing number of aircraft in the skies across the whole world this was a disaster waiting to happen. not even 24 hours before this incident a similar one happened in the exact same place, but because the airliner was still above 1000 feet the TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system) was still engaged and alerted the airliner to perform evasive manuevers.

below 1000 feet TCAS is disabled because it would give constant warnings from tall buildings and trees etc. the collision happened at 350-400 feet.

We have what we have. Trump is a showman, not a statesman, but the enemy is composed largely of theatre kids, so a showman is needed - why when you really think about it, the EOs are Propaganda of the Deed at scale! Vance can be the statesman, let Trump cook.

I know it's utterly and completely retarded, but that goofy bullshit "patriots in control" shit the qanon folks used to throw around keeps bouncing around in my head. It seems like he's almost daring them to fuck with him, daring them to test him.

Q anon shit was outed to be Ron Watkins, the son of 8chan's owner Jim Watkins. It was all a larp to get boomers to flock his website, which did work to be fair. There is no hidden sleeper cell of armed patriots, I'm afraid unarmed boomers going on impromptu museum tours is the best we get.

let's fucking go

An actual purge, about time

My stocks went down an average of .96% this afternoon following the tariff news. I am going to kill myself. Thanks Donny.

Weak. Wait until market circuit breakers are tripped before you start an hero-ing.

Not gonna lie - I wrote Dr Phil off for a long time. All I ever really knew about him was that time he invited the bumfights guy on thinking he'd outsmart him or something and the bumfights guy showed up dressed identically to Dr Phil, bald wig and all and dr phil had a conniption fit and threw him off the show immediately. Dr Phil was always a clown to me. I was kinda shocked when he threw his hat in the ring with Donald and went Maga. I didn't see that coming

Once Dr. Phil got away from Oprah, you could see a general shift in his way of thinking and actually approaching subjects. He's become far more thoughtful and nuanced when it comes to dealing with the bullshit artists of the Left. Oprah really was pulling the strings behind his initial success, but once he broke away from her and started to do his own thing, he started to become a bit more "based" (as the kids say), and actually more in line with the thinking of the rest of the country rather than another Hollywood shitlib.
