They will be able to find enough volunteers to do the shooting. History, and the first few months of this administration, tells us that.

This warmongering sellout and the Trump sock puppet nodding him on is yet another reason to avoid CNN.

Oh I can, but then I took a college unit on the social history of Nazi Germany with a prof who was a refugee from there.

Very very very few Russians obtain Maltese passports. Very hard to get, no golden passport schemes in Malta no sir.

This is the article about Lander that got me to sign up for an ICE watch shift.
"I would urge New Yorkers to do this … I felt more useful for the last hour than I have felt at any time since Donald Trump was elected."
There’s probably an ICE watch coalition in your city that you can plug into!

It's a ceremonial aspect of the military that sometimes gets used for the right reasons. This obviously wasn't it and it showed, drab and sloppy. Obvs we all know where to look to see it done right ahem youtu.be/FU5LnaMdqUg?...

A foot guards battalion (there are 5 despite cuts elsewhere) spends 20% of its time at Buckingham Palace and headline the big parades (King's birthday etc) so are going to be better at drill than a line battalion doing, um, soldiering.

Yeah it needs a lot of cleanup. The KMT forces held down about 20% of the Japanese army (feel free to correct) but had terrible supply issues impeding them.

Let's throw in the medical experiments they did in Manchuria. Raised in Singapore so plenty of stories of massacres of the ethnic Chinese population there and in Malaysia.

He did 4 years, which was more than the draft period. He could've just said "I'm a homosexual" to the draft board and avoided service in the first place, but served instead. And he was assassinated in the course of his elected duty as a city Supervisor.
