The Sec. of Defense should be required to do this.

Normal operations. The court did some tortured legalism on behalf of the rich.

It’s a distraction for sure, but probably meant to keep you from noticing some really petty grifting. They’re proud of the genocide in Gaza. They would like you to notice that.

Who was president?

Putin remembers it even if the western liberals that actually did it don’t remember it.

I guess it would be weird to shut the government down if you’re not advocating for anything in particular.

No, it’s bribing people to leave without making a fuss.

We’re stretching the budget now, but good sleeping bag too.

I do a lot of ranting in front of my kids, and when we’re confronted with obvious bullshit like a bunch of people having to live under a bridge, I make sure to conclude the rant by telling them Stalin would’ve dealt with the people responsible for this.

I also tell them that in this family we talk to strangers, and then model that behavior. We spend a lot of time learning about the lives of people around the world and the collective accomplishments of the people in maligned places like Appalachia or China. We study foreign languages and speak to people in their native languages. As a general guiding principle my wife and I have agreed that we want our kids to grow up with self awareness that they are part of the workers of the world.

A few years ago I heard from a few people that breast cancer is not treated in Canada. That seemed highly unlikely, and about 1 minute of research confirmed it wasn’t true, but do you have any idea what people were talking about?

Somebody must have at this point.

I don’t feel threatened by China. It’s easy.

Someone elsewhere on this site pointed out that Yemen doesn’t have any aircraft. If that’s true it means anyone shooting at aircraft new it was American. So, probably not friendly fire.

They were barbarians before Europe new North America existed. They perpetrated the single most barbaric crime of the 20th century. I always knew they would be get back on top.

China has elevated billions of people out of extreme poverty, and they did it by curbing the political power of the bourgeoisie. The west will never forgive them.

They also don’t care about capitalist restoration in Ukraine leading to an increasingly violent ethnic cleansing, which was what finally led to the Russian intervention in Ukraine.

8. That is far too much.

Hell yeah! It’s slow, but I’m getting better.
