Warfighter Rete presiding uver the transformation of the military into a domestic gendarmerie would at least be entertaining.

Gosh, I wonder if there was anything going on in Mid-November.

It's a change from the hot dog guy. I was getting tired of that one.

If you want to concede that the IDF is morally equivalent to Hamas, be my guest.

Vengeance is not a proper military mission. When a military mission is defined as such, it inevitably leads to atrocities. Hamas on October 7 thought they were getting revenge.

Could have done it without ear collecting.

I'm ambivalent--on one hand, no Hitler, on the other, I get wiped out of existence.

You want the IDF to be judged by the standards of the ear collectors of the Pacific War?

"Avenging" is not a military mission.

Can't help but think polarization against Trump is hurting Cuomo, who looks a lot more like a collaborationist.

People associate Jonathan Edwards's Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God with Puritanism, even though Edwards is post-Puritan.

Best advice for young ladies is "don't marry into the British Royal Family."

If there is one word I would ban for the political vocabulary, it is "distraction."

You absolutely do not gotta hand it to them, but Team Trump does believe that humanity should continue to exist.

Everything is happening all at once isn't how authoritarianism works, it's how time works.

Cut down by a hail of MAGA bullets, my dying whisper is "this is all a distraction from the price of eggs."

Adjunct applications are requiring as many documents as fulltime applications used to.

And ultimately counterproductive, as it makes it appear that the atrocities are being cynically exploited, as they are.

Follow in his footsteps? Look at Booker's record voting for Trump nominees. He's the one playing hero.

I'm not sure even that solution means you "never have to worry about the opinions of others." Having a state doesn't mean you can't be vulnerable to other states.

Raises the possibility of the Temple being rebuilt followed by a line of prophets pointing out that it was a terrible idea to rebuild the Temple.

Gordon might actually have been OK with this. There were rumors.

The white male Dem President you can most easily get in 2008 is John Edwards, and that would have been interesting, but plenty wacky.
comment in response to

I doubt it very much. Things were plenty wacky under Bill Clinton, and the collapse of the Republican establishment that let the wackos take over had to do with W, not Obama.

The GOP venerates Lincoln, but nobody thinks that has a meaningful relation to their policies today.

There was also no South Carolina in 1526.
