Great that they're really building up future credit for a "coalition of the willing" by doing this, having Rubio cheer Russia Day, planning to detain citizens of allies at Gitmo without notice to their embassies, oh, and kicking out Afghans who supported us to a regime that will harm them.

Tornados don't have agency. I've used the example of ineffective firefighters and dangerous arsonists. And yes, right now we need better firefighters - but there's more to that story.

You know who else was lonely . . .all those guys at the end of the movie Downfall. Seemed pretty grim. But hey, at least you're not a migrant legally present in the U.S. who has been sent to a labor camp in El Salvador to serve an indefinite term without the benefit of any due process. Buck up sport

Project 2025 may have misread some slang when suggesting only men "play" with children.

It goes on.
Every action seeking an "administrative stay" of a judicial order that will eventually (after appeals) confirm the blatant unconstitutionality of the administration's actions - on the Alien Enemies Act and many others - wastes valuable DOJ time and resources far better spent elsewhere.

From the lowly infantry soldier to the most prominent generals, Stalin "leans in" as a reorganizer of the Soviet military.

Remember when -
“The Army follows the Department of Defense’s longstanding and well-defined policy regarding political campaigns and elections to avoid the perception of DoD sponsorship, approval or endorsement of any political candidate, campaign or cause." www.militarytimes.com/news/pentago...

Please don't make me vote for this guy . . . I mean I will . . . but I explicitly did not vote for him as Mayor because he's a terrible human being. He had a long time friend running his campaign and he . . . had an affair with his wife at the same time. www.nytimes.com/2007/02/02/u...

I guess some people just got hooked into a condiment theme, after first considering pepper spray.

Just not seeing the desire for "mass amnesty" out there, leaving aside that it's a policy dead end - given lack of power to enact it - prior to 2029 at the absolutely earliest date.

Perhaps he may want to check in with this other conservative who has not totally lost the plot.

Yeah, me either. I was making a dig about some of the administration's claims.
If Gov. Newsom wants to really be tough, and not just act it, there's some cleanup to do about horrors like this and the Australian journalist standing doing her job who was callously targeted and shot.

No kidding, and did you see the one that Cruz posted of the crowds waving foreign flags . . . almost seems like a different time and place.

Given the clear evidence, he should be fired and probably brought up on charges.

In fairness, the thing about arresting all the guys in face masks - given how many are ICE thugs - well, let's hear the man out.

I 100% agree with your posts above, but do so in the full knowledge that you (and now, implicitly I) are giving off these vibes big time.

I think you've landed on it, as has the OP. Be "nice" to the National Guardsmen being so badly mistreated this way. That, besides being the right approach, is the wise strategic approach.

Surely there must be some easier way to pick a fight to outlaw motorcycle gangs. So, for the second time, this Gif lands.

No, they did not . . . then again, Tahir Square and the Maidan Revolution did. All were marked by violence. The main determinants of success appear to be the ruthlessness of the group putting down the protests and how effective is their control of information flow (Twitter "made" Tahir a success).

Put it on this list immediately.
1. Thing that I, an antitrust lawyer, did not know.
2. Thing that any Blue State Governor should, within a hour, know to 100% certainty.
3. Thing that the Adjutant should know, if woken from a dead sleep after a hard drinking night on the town, immediately.

Korean war version.
Trump, September 13, 1950 - "I congratulate Gen. MacArthur on his landing at Inchon."
Hegseth - "OpSec is clean."

I don't see any evidence of the population clamoring for "mass amnesty" or even open to being brought around to support it. And, of course, it's a dead letter unless/until Dems control the White House and both Houses of Congress. No way to secure it before then.
Even if the right call it's doomed.

You'd think "The bar is what I think it is" is more of a Hegseth line.

So weird to me that the right traditionally claims that the invisible hand of the marketplace will properly sort it all out but when there's a steep decrease in demand it doesn't occur to them that they may need to improve the "product" (namely what they offer to women who are willing to marry them)

How's she feeling about that hug now? Literally embracing a man who is seriously considering freeing those who would have terrorized, captured, and possibly killed her.
