The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind
Famously, armies have never been done in by disease.
Certainly, Washington never forcibly innoculated his troops to prevent the spread of the scourge of smallpox so they could live to fight another day.
Surely, the campaigns of the Pacific were not shaped by disease and featured daily treatment.
Yes correct which is why they ordered it to stop and when it didn't used limited force to disable it and take it into custody instead of sinking it
One of the reasons why I’m honestly in favor of some form of compulsory voting. You don’t get to bitch about who gets elected if you don’t vote.
Well that explains a lot
When I hear 'American Public' and 'Rationing' in the same sentence.
well... that's a hell of a signal
Anyways
Dying is actually a really good way to tie the bow on your legacy for a politician
Honestly worst case for Trump is living through this turn because the longer he's alive after his term and still fucking with party politics the more things will probably blow back on him
Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best
Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON
description from Huntington library: "A lithograph printed on heavy paper. Satirical "death certificate" issued for the Southern Confederacy. Mourning border, each line in different typeface, with: Died, Near the South-Side Rail Road, / on Sunday, April 9th, 1865, / The Southern Confederacy, / Aged Four Years, / Conceived in Sin, Born in iniquity, Nurtured by Tyranny, Died of / a Chronic Attack of Punch. / Abraham Lincoln, Attending Physician. / U.S. Grant, Undertaker. / Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner.

to all who celebrate...
Endorsing the first candidate who promises to turn it into an AWACS to replace the one we lost
Seconded.
This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥
Hey guys, it's okay to oppose and dislike Trump while wishing the best for the troops flying and supporting the mission over Iran.
F-15 WSO recovered alive. Was escaping and evading. Massive fire fight on tgt. Iranians were actively looking for him in the area.
this too is DVcore
Ah yes, America, the country famous for not at all publicizing its military conflicts.
Well, the WSO has already been rescued. We just don’t know where the pilot is.
Some guy probably just googled F-15, then chose the first one that he liked.
anyway this is yet another one where the dems have no choice but to fight fire with fire to restore deterrence/norms
If the next WH doesn't have a list of GOFOs whose resignations they're going to demand from the Oval at 1201 EST 20 Jan 29 any defense policy will be an utter failure
The smart war people are here because they recognized Elon Musk for what he is early on and left Twitter quickly. They are, pretty much exclusively, "bluesky elders"
You really can't exaggerate how squarely contrary this rhetoric is to the basic foundational precepts of this country. These people *hate* the actually existing United States.
Dr. Schake, one of the most brilliant and respected and genuinely liked scholars in national security, was scheduled to give a talk at the Air War College on civ-mil relations.
She was uninvited.
This is the talk she would have given. Her words should be heard
