The lack of shame is just simply insane. Like that is what I wish we return to, that when people act like ghouls we can point at them and shame them for being awful

I think there also has to be a convo of what exactly does bombing camp rail networks change in the grand scheme of things? If you are lucky a handful can escape? The only way you were ending the Holocaust is by driving to Berlin

The second largest party in Sweden basically thinks Israel has done no wrong in Gaza... so you are probably right to some degree.

oh I have been listening to We Didn't Know by the Mitchell Trio written way back in 1965 and man... it's sort of a persistent problem. Like what do you think the children or grandchildren of Klansmen in the 50s and 60s think?

I got Terra Invicta in a bundle with Seapower and like I have already put enough hours because they are so replayable. Like I get if you are on console your options are limited but if you are on PC you can always find great deals.

Trooping of the Colours in the UK and Bastille Day in France are like the only two regular ones that I can think of?

I think a lot of people think crack down will result in utter submission on this place, and forget that it very likely can just become the US version of the Troubles

People literally forgot that the South Carolinian primary was really the only pivotal primary. Iowa and NH probably are what secured Pete a job in the cabinet, but everyone knew that if Biden won SC it was curtains.

In fact more British and Canadians in the invasion force than American forces. We must never forget that this was a crusade of United Nations. They not only took a stand against tyranny but were willing to storm beaches to see it vanquished

I just mean to clarify, because I can't imagine many president's involving themselves at that fine of a level to ask for conditions of ground? The easiest parallel is not of the US but of Churchill during WWII

This is a great article, as they always are, but I have a question regarding Halleck's resignation. The author claims this being the only one offered in the 19th century, to which I ask, surely this can't be a surprise? Like how often were POTUS's in the 19th century giving those specific orders?

Hmm... I think History/IR can be a field though that could move more towards more oral exams. It is a shame because writing is probably the best way to structure and make arguments, but you can force critical thinking in other ways

He is probably the most "every-day" guy to run the USSR/Russia. Born a peasant, becomes a factory worker, active in the revolution but lost his first wife to starvation related diseases. Probably most prominent winner of "Soviet Triple Crown," by working in a farm, factory, and mine?

really the party just needs to say that Biden is no longer president and that his political life is over. Like that era is over, move to the next generation

As a New Englander I can say that it's mostly because everything got so damned expensive that most young people move, and those moving in tend to be from else where and can afford the prices of living here

It is rough, ngl. Like I got in as a govt. contractor just before all of this and I am not enjoying the uncertainty of whether I may just get axed bc they don't want to pay out the contract. Anything government related just seems dire and bleak. The sword of dumbo-cles hangs over us all

He is just supposed to be the average person. The irony of the show, and imo what I like a lot, is that he is the least interesting person in the group.

Wonderful, AFC was created under Trump I because it didn't work well just being in TRADOC and now... we are going back to TRADOC and hoping for the best?

This would require a Congress that both gives a shit about doing any of its job of oversight, and having enough people on that committee that actually care about Natsec, foreign policy matters.

It's also important to point out that this is around the time when Britain too abolishes the international slave trade, but also after the French Republic re-introduces slavery. These are not high bars, but shows that slavery is a world-wide debate and being questioned, for like the first time ever

This is what Madison noted in the Federalist. The House is the more passionate of bodies and will run hotter, as it is is more in tuned with popular passions.
The Senate is aloof, with the hope it can be sensible but the Senate hasn't been a sensible body of deliberating in a long time.

yeah LBJ was not far removed from the time where the party would bring you behind the shed if you couldn't win. Lovable losers do not last long in leadership.

Imagine if it could be so influential and take its role so seriously it could be considered a Fourth Estate in our politics.

tbh I don't give a shit if it's difficult or messy. That comes with the territory. He leads a party in the Senate of the most powerful nation on the planet. He either has to lead, fall on the sword trying to lead, or be relieved.

His next press conference better be him stepping down as Minority Leader. He is not a "wartime minority leader."

Trump and Nixon are also very much in agreement on the power of the presidency.

Like I am not asking them to become clowns like how the GOP was/is. I want some teeth, some anger. Some understanding that you have a finger on the pulse of the nation, let alone your own base. Like some reaction to the current guy taking an axe to the world Dems largely built

It is wild to think this used to be the main engine of the Democratic machine

I think the main reason we honestly stuck with them for so long is that the WTO and most of the original UN laws are essentially found in American law and based on them. But yeah, think there needs to be a bit of pragmatic humility

Honestly underrated how the US government would just change how money was backed like every 4 years

It's not a new thing tbh. The US has always been weary about hitching ourselves to international law. This goes back to the league fight in 1919/1920. For better or for worse the US believes that there should be no higher law than those derived from the Constitution
