LOL Hegseth ain't paying. Right now all they're talking about on military forums is how the deployments are broken up into 29 day blocks so DoD doesn't have to pay them active duty benefits INCLUDING no allowance for housing. Bring these dudes some cold water. They'll keep ICE off your back.

Fucking Andrew Cuomo had to condemn ICE and I'll happily mark him as a quisling, so yeah, this means "I don't follow enough Dems, I just follow people who also don't follow elected Dems and didn't see posts at the speed of light from East Coast electeds."

The literal only name I can get people to give me as far as the original take here goes is "Tom Nichols". Tom Nichols is a Never Trump conservative, painting him as an East Coast Establishment Liberal is absurd. bsky.app/profile/rham...

One other thing to keep in mind is that cops have been judicially immunized from basically anything they do, and soldiers are subject to extremely strict ROE and swift consequences via UCMJ.

Also the new crop of MP's elected at this election included two future Prime Ministers (Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer), one future Deputy Prime Minister in Angela Rayner and Jo Cox who would later be murdered during the Brexit referendum.

It was also an election where the polls got it wrong, starting a precient trends, with polls predicting a hung parliament which didn't happen. It's also why we got focus on other parties like the SNP (who became the third largest party winning 56 seats), UKIP (who got one seat) and the Greens (1 💺)
