We'd be lying to ourselves if scenarios (useful fictions) don't ultimately become the means by which people make their reality. You want them to be reasonable approximations to guide thinking when presented with a real-world event or trend. However, most leaders tend to devolve into recognitional<
In simplest terms, this political process of produced suffering for nothing (and likely worse during the December vote) & is a metaphorical equivalent for how veterans feel after years in Iraq and Afghanistan; no individual sense of accomplishment & duped by fecklessness on both sides of the aisle.<

This is the only thing I will say on the subject today. If a cake like this doesn't show up at the Commandant's Ball then what are we even doing?

I, a 15-year career federal employee, am responsible for ACA subsidies being taken away.
Not the tens of millions of people who voted to give Donald Trump's Republican Party control of the American government, no, they're blameless victims. It's my fault and I should suffer for it.
fuck this shit.

In a blazing moment of I can't believe I've never heard if this, I finally learned about the Melungeons. Man, is their experience wild. There needs to be a movie about some of those stories.

Mamdani will implement Sherrie Law where everyone will have to hold on, hold on.
Mamdani is going to implement Shar Law. Everyone will have to bow down to the Mistress of the Night, the Lady of Loss, and devote themselves to bringing about a darkness that will smother her hated foe and sister Selûne
Mamdani is going to implement My Sharona law. Everyone will have to create songs with undeniable rock beats.

What authority to act are they preserving? He hasn't defined the emergency that led to the build up of forces that requires flexibility for later action & has exceeded the 60-day threshold for war powers. Not acting is closing the barn door after the fire is started.

Oh, so he's saying its just a trade strategy and not one that is based at all on a national security emergency. And if not an emergency, it necessarily requires Congress to enact legislation as recommended by the Executive. Synthesis=I'd rather turn over Article I powers to Article II office.
Mike Johnson: "I think the Court has to give deference to that. I think the Court has to recognize the executive is doing what they're doing -- he's using tariffs to create leverage in our trade strategy, and it's yielding great results for the American people."

If the bet was "How many people can I get to call me out on my endorsement of illegal military strikes and my advocacy for death sentences for drug users to complete my meltdown on the socials & never have my natsec opinion taken seriously again except at Heritage" I'm happy to help you win it.
Thanks for winning me a bet everyone. You did great.

Elon has an idea of what a compensation package should be valued at like Dr. Evil has no sense of reference for what his "doom the planet" extortion is really worth. Even funnier to get it from a company that has quarterly calls like "flying cars, robots, and AI in the next quarter!" Pinky promise!

Oh, so the problem all along was an enthusiasm gap. If we just wishcast harder the AI bubble will save us while the other fundamentals are failing.

The worst case scenario for Dems is that MAGA going stealth from their crazy right now and bank on voters' short memories to get them to the mid-terms. I know DJT's impulse control will make it hard but the bell weather will be the Rs temporarily showing a sign of a spine giving in again.

Well if our gauge of these things is based on religion now, just how many Christians are dead in Ukraine now? I guess we're just lining up the 5th Crusade now.

It'll be interesting to see the final stats on voters for VA & NJ in particular. I suspect it will have to do less with the base & more to independents & swings again. Which doesn't mean move center but it should scare MAGA because they won't make it in the mids w/o them. They're cooked if true.

Look, if Anduril was any good and the miracle they claim to be, they'd be flying in Ukraine right now. That's my angle. And don't tell me the tech guys can't by any FMS exemption they want as long as they cut some folks in on the deal. They already have any inside track they want.
