My Biggest Issue With Putting The Cartels On The Terrorist List Is That It Would Allow Us To Invoke AUMF

My biggest issue with putting the cartels on the terrorist list is that it would allow us to invoke AUMF which could go as far as invading Mexico. Until AUMF is repealed or neutered to the point where it is useless outside of a few operations, putting them on the list opens up possibility of drone striking some girl on her 15th birthday because we thought her cousin was a cartel chief but it was actually the guy he bought a car from and then make the cartels into anti-imperialist folk heroes (Yes, I stole this bit from Matthew Downhour on Twitter).

David Frum really got negatively polarized from social Democrat to center right because he had a bad experience with people to his left. I may have had bad experiences with some people to my left but I didn’t drop all of my values and become a conservative. Like dude at least just become a normie lib lol. Why a Republican?

Anarchist GOP lol

Flying a Confederate flag in the South: Evil, but it makes sense insofar as you're a reactionary trying to draw continuity with the historical reactionaries local to the place where you're living.

Flying a Confederate flag in the Midwest: Evil, and nonsensical insofar as the Confederate military never stepped foot in your state. Even if you have convinced yourself that southern Illinois is the South, no one's buying it.

Flying a Confederate flag on state property in San Francisco, California while the Democratic National Convention is in town, a desperate attempt to appeal to Dixiecrats as part of your failed campaign to be selected as the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee: Reasonable centrism, a career of distinguished service.

Joe Biden became the first sitting president to join a picket line. Well done

I was wondering if they would impeach Biden for “the border” and then I remember that if I ever entered politics and somehow got as far as Biden, I would be tarred and feathered for basically defying immigration law and going over the visa limits set by congress and telling them to shove it and then if I went down I would adopt some lib version of the dark maga mentality with “in reality, they’re after you, I’m just in the way” mixed in with Lula’s “those in power can kill one, two, or even 100 roses, but they can’t stop the coming of spring”.
