So are we letting states decide or not letting states decide?*

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/kristi-noem-husband-accused-living-152803288.html

Bryon Noem, the husband of former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, was accused on Tuesday of living a double life as a crossdresser obsessed with donning huge fake boobs and talking to fetish models online.

In a jaw-dropping report published on Tuesday, Daily Mail chief investigate reporter Josh Boswell and senior reporter Ben Ashford published several photos of a man, identified by the newspaper as Noem, posing for the camera in large fake breasts and hotpants while pouting.

They'll actually just flip it around and use it the other way. See, the liberal trans agenda destroyed Noem's wholesome, Christian marriage! They now even have an easier way to overlook her cheating.

I have a problem with her party demonizing trans folks when you damn well know Kristi is well of her husbands proclivities....oh and then claiming to protect the sanctity of marriage while cheating on your husband at 30,000ft in a sex jet that we all paid for.

Just so much fucking hypocrisy.

Probably not, but it seems like he’s a bit of a wildcard in general (as much as any of the current justices), and the admin case here does rely on a specific sort of reading/interpretation of the text of the 14th Amendment.

https://grammarist.com/spelling/judgment-judgement/

Judgment and judgement are actually alternate spellings of the same word with the same definition. It’s a noun that refers to the decision of a legal court or judge. It can also mean an opinion formed either subjectively or objectively.

Both judgment and judgement are correct standard spellings. But there is a geographical difference in their usage. Many also observe that one of the two spellings remains preferred in all locations and contexts.

WH contemplates ending Iran war without reopening Straits of Hormuz is a hell of a headline

https://time.com/article/2026/03/30/white-house-signals-trump-doesn-t-require-strait-of-hormuz-reopend-to-ready-to-end-iran-war/

Ensuring safe passage for oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz is not one of the “core objectives” President Donald Trump has set for ending his military operation against Iran, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future.

Leavitt was asked at a White House press briefing on Monday whether Trump was willing to declare victory in Iran and end the war even if Iran continued to block most vessels from passing through the strait. Leavitt said the U.S. and Israel began their military strikes in late February to destroy Iran’s navy, dismantle its missile and drone infrastructure, weaken its proxies in the region and prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

napoleon and the moustache guy both famously invaded russia as their major blunder

Posted by VIV <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=VIV' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on March 31, 2026, 8:41:47, in reply to "isn't Iran considered part of the Asian continent? I thought it was*"

the european part of it.

for napoleon, it was the 1812 summer offensive. napoleon thought he could invade and force russian surrender in months. he didn't even pack winter supplies. he made it all the way to moscow that fall only to find the russians had set it ablaze. he retreated within a month and limped back through the snow with 1/10th of his unprepared army.

in WWII, hitler famously repeated this blunder in the summer of 1941 in launching operation barbarossa, breaking a peace the germans held with the soviets (molotov-ribbentrop pact), once again thinking they could take moscow before the winter. the germans got as close as seeing "the spires of the kremlin" that fall and winter, but it was ultimately hitler's downfall and the end for about 30 million troops and civilians.

both of those invasions happened in europe, not asia.

there is an asian part of russia, but that's east of the ural mountains which are about 800 miles east of moscow (and a tiny bit on the south slopes of the caucuses, but that's not important right now).

neither napoleon nor hitler invaded iran or anywhere near it. in 1941, the germans encouraged a coup in iraq and installed a puppet government to get them more access to oil. the brits, also liking oil, put an end to that in like a month with very few casualties.

Democrats on Monday officially claimed a second upset in Florida’s recent special elections when The Associated Press declared an electrical workers union leader to be the winner of a tight state senate contest in reliably Republican West Tampa.

Brian Nathan, a Navy veteran and member of a new cadre of working class Democrats, will join Emily Gregory, a small-business owner with a public-health background, as upstart Democrats in Tallahassee. Ms. Gregory on Tuesday won a state house district in Palm Beach that includes President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago seaside mansion.

The upsets supplied the latest electoral boost to a party that suffered setbacks in 2024 in Washington, D.C., and in state capitols across the country but is staging a comeback.

Further endear ourselves to their population? Or has that been TACOed?

If this keeps up, pretty soon folks aren't going to take Trump seriously

The only way there's going to be any punishment for American war crimes is if we lose badly enough that we no longer have the strength to tell the ICC to fuck off. As much as I hate everyone making these decisions, I'd rather not have that come to pass.

Trump wants to “take the oil”, which can only be done via indefinite occupation and is also a war crime called “pillaging.”

This war is Trump's fetish. He's always wanted it.

That's it. I give up.. Donald Trump is a time traveler.
