Losing wars has consequences 🤷🏼‍♂️
Can we talk about the history of Comanche atrocities against American settlers?

Or is that not the history we’re thinking of here
From EMPIRE OF THE SUMMER MOON
This thanksgiving I am thankful that the United States defeated the Comanches and ended their reign of terror

The Third Circuit just ruled on the Trump campaign's challenge in Pennsylvania

3-0 loss, opinion from three Republican-appointed judges, and written by the lone Trump-appointed judge, that has the campaign losing on basically every important point

justsecurity.org/wp-content/upl…
Campaign tried to appeal on the narrowest ground possible - whether the district court should have let them amend their complaint a second time

Leave to amend should be granted liberally

But the 3rd Circuit wasn't persuaded Image
Reason one why the Campaign lost - undue delay

The campaign had stressed the need to resolve the litigation by the 23rd because that was the certification deadline

Bibas writes that it can't turn around and demand time to fix its complaint now at this late date ImageImage

If he were Muslim, the guy who pulled the gun on him unprovoked would have been arrested, and Rittenhouse would be walking around free
And that would be correct!
In the modern progressive mind, self-defense is available to individuals who 1) reasonably fear that they are facing imminent bodily harm and 2) are not young white men

I’ve been reading a lot about the Battle of Midway

There are lessons in there for us in the mistakes the Japanese made
Let’s fast-forward to roughly noon on the day of the battle

At this point the Japanese have lost 3 of their four carriers, a hugely damaging blow

They have one left, the Hiryu
The Hiryu launched a counter-strike against the Americans with its strike force (which ended up hitting the American carrier Yorktown)

At that point Hiryu needed to beat a strategic retreat - because the second American carrier strike force would overwhelm its combat air patrol

Why would Hillary rig the primary and then play fair in the general
If Hillary could rig voting machines without being caught she would be President right now
We call this “proving too much”

Being "loyal to principle," properly understood, is disloyalty

You can be loyal to another human being, another group of human beings, or an institution

When you elevate an abstract principle above the human beings in your circle of care you are being *disloyal*
"I'm loyal to free market ideology which is why I'm fine seeing my fellow Americans' jobs shipped overseas."

Doesn't work that way
This is the basic #NeverTrump mistake

They betrayed their voters and supporters because they were "loyal to their principles."

That's *disloyalty*

There's a goalpost move going on

From "no evidence of election fraud" to "no evidence of *widespread* election fraud"

"Widespread" is doing a ton of work in these formulations, in two different ways

Thread
First, there's no agreed-upon definition of "widespread," which allows the user to ignore any and all evidence of voter fraud by saying it doesn't meet their arbitrary threshold of being "widespread"
For example - the Trump campaign alleges ~675k ballots were opened without conservative poll watchers present

Is that enough ballots to be "widespread?"

How many poll watchers need to be wrongfully barred from observing voting/counting before it's "widespread?"
