I hope to god with all my heart that my fears are misplaced. Statistically the number of members of the military who do godawful shit is small. But not knowing whether that’s because they would refuse the order to do it, or simply haven’t been ordered to do it, leaves me disquieted.

Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. FCC, 395 U.S. 367 (1969) which upheld the fairness doctrine explains what it did

I’ll ask again, when are you claiming democrats stopped (meaning to cease and not resume, to clear up apparent confusion) voting to help Trump’s nominees?

If the democrats stopped voting to help Trump’s nominees in February, how are they voting for his nominees in June?
Did they only stop for a little bit?

It’s difficult to not want to see everything as some kind of deeper plot when the surface plot is so fucking stupid.
