Retired DAC here. I am sure the Army did what it was told. No competence at the Pentagon, DOD, or WH to direct the outcome desired.

We would often have picnics and bring our families the day of June 14. Ball in the evening.

Anyway to confirm these are authentic and not just fake items posted by opponents? I hate Trump but someone like media reporter ought to be able to confirm.

I am glad you were interested. DNC never gave a penny to Sanders. What is to this point of this discussion is HRC (I voted for her) was a neoliberal who supported offshoring jobs and we still have not turned the Democratic party around on that

Yes the Clintons for example figured out how to raise money by obeying rich donors to counter Republican advantage with more rich friends. Bernie showed how to raise money from small donors but not enough Democrats want to rely on regular folks so they don't embrace the New Deal and go all out

Those voters will still not vote for Democrats and they will support Trump again even if they lose Medicaid.

Relying on StarLink threatens national security. Musk has shown he can and will cancel service with one switch as he did for Ukraine. Redundancy, backups, multiple sources are crucial for defense systems.

BS Texas allows in state tuition to all resident students in Texas so our undocumented students are treated the same as everyone else. It's not a benefit denied to others so it is not unequal treatment. This is not a matter of law it is bigotry by current Republican office holders.

Of course not. Read the constitution. The oath prescribed for the president does NOT have the word "god" in it. John Adams, 2nd president, used a law book not a Bible for his inauguration. Where did you go to school? Why don't you know these things?

Who is going to stop AI from lying? Lists of books that don't exist. Cites of court decisions made up. Champions Nazism when told to.

People in Louisiana suffering spread of new strain of covid need treatment - and vaccine for those yet to be affected - not old conspiracy imaginations.

City pays the police.DOJ pays us Marshalls that is why Marshalls will obey DOJ not judges.

Founding fathers gave us electoral college so only s good and moral man could be elected president. That stopped working decades ago.

So the only federal judges who might be safe are in blue states with Democratic governors who might act to protect federal courts? We might end up losing the conservative judges in the 5th circuit, for example?

How will the courts pay them?
comment in response to
post
Yes but violent clash with volunteers or whoever to protect judges/enforce their orders will give excuse for trump to declare martial law against us all. Our democracy depends on having a moral person as president and we do not.

I have been to Three Mile Island. The radiation poisoning spread farther and impacted thousands of people all of which was hidden from the public. The industry has been waiting for a corrupt government to allow it to threaten of us again..

And Obama and his attorney general did not prosecute one bankster. The crooks got to keep the money and the houses they stole from middle class.

Many poor people don't vote. They don't have a stable address so can't register. They work two or more jobs and don't have time to keep up with news or info on where and how to vote. Rich and the well off vote and donate to politicians. We have to increase democracy.

More revenue would help fix many problems. The increased debt is from the $trillions in Trump tax cuts. Reverse those cuts and revenue will increase plus the economy will expand.

This did not end well when Texas forced a Fort Worth hospital to do this to a brain dead 9 weeks pregnant woman. The smell in her room grew strong enough to sicken healthcare workers and in caring for her someone had to endure the horror of her fingers breaking off.

Biden did great job as president. Obama was Terri le in first debate against Romney then won second debate. Demo should have supported Biden to best Trump again.

Democrats should have supported Biden and he would have defeated Trump again.

This was tried in Texas with a woman much further along in pregnancy. Reportedly the smell of decomposition in her room sickened healthcare workers and family members. Her fingers broke off before finally her husband's request to courts to allow machines to be turned off was granted.

Catholic HS grad here. Hallways lined with framed pictures with individual photos & names from each graduating class over decades. My HS principal noted that most grads were "fallen away." Studying religion in depth taught us the flaws. Those after 8th grade sent to public HS learned less 1/

In the 60's I had one professor announce, " there are special rules for baseball players." He did not give the same breaks to women gymnasts or swimmers. Of course women hockey & softball players still had to hold bake sales to.play at all.
