Everyone always assumed it would be the US Defense Dept. getting spun up for this sort of thing, but after ~25 years of militarization of police, the Army to quell domestic unrest is now less...reliable, being a cross-cutting of society, than police.

Sweet baby J there's some silly takes flying in some skeets today! Whether the Mongolian invasion constitutes a "world war" might be a matter of some debate, but it was the largest multinational war with a single origin of its kind for hundreds of years.

Bro, just google the Marshall Plan. Also, S. Korea, Japan, the former Yugoslovia, etc.

It's difficult to convince people who believe in the US as capable of doing good things in the world they should embrace the guy who said he "tried my best" while destroying American soft power by gutting PEPFAR, USAID, and US Institute for Peace, to say nothing of the VA & other agencies.

Kinda vibe now with all the old Hebrew prophets who turned their backs for five minutes only to find their people worshipping another false idol.

Quasi-President Trump is never going to beat the "I just ran for President to stay out of jail, I and I don't give a crap about governing" charges. His admin now stuck with telling Musk, "Do whatever you want!" while he guts the functionality of our government. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Literally the Simpsons episode where the town is deporting immigrants and it turns out Apu knows everything about the country and Homer calls it the “electrical college” and can’t name any branch of government

The median age of soldiers in this war is easily in the low 40s and every Russian soldier is a volunteer, most of whom who signed up for the very lucrative compensation packages. Not every war is Vietnam.

This is the dumbest version of Marius and Sulla, let me just say that.

When one is deprived of ones liberty, one is right in blaming not so much the man who puts the shackles on as the one who had the power to prevent him, but did not use it. --Thucydides

This still comes down to the idea that, for a majority of Trump voters, squaring "mass deportations now" with "we're only going to deport criminals" demands the thinking "most people who are coming to America (legally or otherwise) do it to do crimes."

I think there's a misunderstanding of what most parents of high schoolers really mean as a chance. There are crazies out there who think 12 year old Peighton is destined for The Show, but most of us just are hoping an NAIA school will pay some part of the cost of college in an athletic scholarship.

Today marks the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre — a brutal crackdown on peaceful protests the Chinese Communist Party still refuses to acknowledge. Talk about it in China risks censorship, harassment, or worse. Never forget those who resisted, with courage as their only weapon.

Your citizenship exists because of documents backed by a government. If that government decides they're not, or makes the processes to prove the documents too onerous...there's not a lot you can do it about, citizen or not. nymag.com/intelligence...

This makes at least two GOP Congresspeople who have openly conceded they voted for the BBB because President Trump told them to, with no view on whether its constituent parts actually align with their views or the best interests of their constituents.
