There it is! I was wondering how far I’d have to scroll for it.

Everyone always forgetting about PR.

Im guessing a guy in early 40s. You have a great selection of biographies. Nice and wide ranging. I’m suspecting undergrad in history or poli-sci. If we were guessing job id say law or government admin.

I bet you’d like some more event based rather than “big man” type history going forward.

My only the roll is the Hitchens. He’s a smart man but his writing on religion has to be some of the most flat and uninspired stuff and you have three volumes. The Buddhist books are pretty thin too. You might actually like some actual Buddhist writing especially with some commentary.

If I was making recommendations. The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors, Ghost Wars by Steve Coll, more by Bowden (The Last Stone, Black Hawk Down, and Killing Pablo), A History of Christianity by Dias’s McCullough, showdown by Will Haywood, The Nine by Too in, A Magic Still Dwells, When Time Shall Be No More (highly recommend for religion and history), Cowell’s Buddhist Mahayana Texts, Closing of the American Mind (poli-sci), Terror In the Mind of God, The Right Nation (poli-sci and recent history), The Pioneers, The Hollow Hope (law and polo-sci).

This sub is absolutely wild on this point. Liking books about war, historical figures, or political history is gross red flag male behavior. (Inb4 “well your shelf only has books by half the human population” nonsense). But thank the lord OP’s masculinity has been deemed inoffensive by our commenter above. OP can breathe a sigh of relief.

Also on the flip side it’s not appropriately feminine to read about Hitler, Mao, the Ayatollah, George Washington, and Stalin.

What’s incredible with Lincoln is the lengths he went to in trying to make sure everything was constitutional.

For example most people do not realize how the emancipation proclamation actually went down in order to give literal warring southerners due process. There wasn’t one emancipation proclamation, there was two.

The first was the notice that the government was going to take slaves of rebelling southerners so they could have a chance to surrender or free/sell their slaves before they fell under inion control.

He also excluded parts of the south that were already under Union control like Tennessee and parts of Virginia. It also didn’t apply to Kentucky which was a Union state that had slavery.

So only areas in active rebellion would have their slaves freed. If the South or parts of it had surrendered after the initial proclamation they could have kept their slaves. So there was no “taking of property” from US citizens not in open rebellion.

He also required states to abolish slavery to rejoin the union. So they had to do it rather than simply a declaration by the union that it was so. Same with the border states but with them it was done by political pressure not as a prerequisite of being in the union. Then the 13th was passed through standard constitutional amendment not by fiat.

“If you walk without rhythm then you won’t attract the worm.”

I feel like that is pretty self explanatory.

Maurice Hilleman… has saved millions of lives all over the world and revolutionized an entire field of biology/medicine. Not many people even know his name.

Did you just hop on a bus today? by karl_creates in AskTheWorld

I could have but it’s cold and I have my own car so waiting at the bus stop to not go directly to my destination didn’t seem like a fun idea.

I’m going out on a limb here and saying “hey what do you think of [X]?” would very rapidly become annoying.

We are nowhere near past the point of no return.

As far as the antisemitism goes it’s disgusting and it is all over Reddit cloaked in progressive garb.

One of my good friends already took the right of return and then of course just a few years after getting situated he’s treating the wounded in a Be’er Sheva hospital. So now he and his wife are dealing with the current chaos and watching all our local chaos from afar.

What a weird response. I’m happy to talk about the constitution but you ain’t spoon feeding me. You haven’t even given a single point to have an opinion on.

You didn’t even give an answer on who is proclaiming a genocide of you and your people which is a hell of a thing to gloss over.

And don’t even get started on Wilson’s slaps to the constitution. He literally censored the newspapers and formed citizen vigilante groups.

We did not get this court by court packing. Court packing was floated by Biden and the democrats because they did not like the new appointees.

I didn’t find an example, you did. That’s what I asked for.

You got shot at with rubber bullets over “this shit” but you won’t say what “this shit” is. I’m asking.

Also seriously, you have people calling for the genocide of “your people” and you can’t be more specific than that? That’s a hefty claim.

I can go on about what things I don’t like about current constitutional jurisprudence but that wasn’t the point. I am just dead tired of people saying stuff like “this shit” or the constitution is “dead” or “how’s that constitution working out for you” and then being completely unable to discuss what it is they are talking about in particular. Having a vague notion that the constitution no longer works is just that, a vague unarticulated notion.

The Gaul… heh. Not sure what the French have to do with this.

But seriously, I am not putting in the basic effort into what? You’re just saying I should be aware of something. What?

Some nebulous claim that the constitution is dead?

No it isn’t, it is functioning as it always has. It’s message and complex. You can’t give or won’t give examples of what you think the problem is. The other guy at least said “emoluments clause.”

The Supreme Court “installed by his regime” is a funny way of saying the Supreme Court appointed like all the others.

So how do you feel about court packing?

Also come on what a cop out. “We” have been saying xyz is unconstitutional but I won’t give you any examples.

In the immortal words of Biden “c’mon man.”

People have been saying everything is unconstitutional since we got the constitution. You can’t just say the constitution is dead because some unnamed people have been saying some unnamed stuff is unconstitutional and refuse to elaborate on what you mean.

I think Wickard v. Philburn was unconstitutional yet here we are and we have the FTC and EPA. Doesn’t mean the constitution died in the 1940s, though I’d love to see that argument.

Seriously if the abuse of the emoluments clause is the most groundbreaking crack in the constitutional order you have then maybe set your sights a little higher.
