I don't know who needs to hear this, but:
The enemy of your enemy may **not** be your friend, but you should absolutely let them attack your enemy instead of trying to remind everyone why he's not your friend and cannot be trusted.

Be a great time for China to invade Taiwan.
So like they’re essentially trying to instantiate a spheres of influence world, right? With a major power at the head of each, and let’s call them for lack of better terms, Eurasia, Eastasia, and Oceania?

Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

He's literally set himself up as Ruler of Venezuela.
George Bush at least got a congressional resolution and an attempt at a UN resolution before invading and occupying Iraq.
Trump didn't even consult with the Gang of 8 in Congress and now declares himself the ruler. Sheesh.

But that requires teachers who know what they are doing and science labs full of equipment. And frankly, smaller class sizes. All of which costs money.

The Social Network has only grown in stature over time.
The initial criticisms—dramatic exaggerations of Zuckerberg’s petty, thin-skinned ruthlessness, and the utopian zeal of the Silicon Valley elite—were wrong.
If anything, the film was too restrained.

Bill Barr's father wrote a 1973 novel glorifying oligarchs who traffic teenage girls for sex slavery while running Dalton School. Then hired 21-year-old college dropout Epstein to teach teens. Decades later, his son declares Epstein's death suicide. But sure, no reason Barr would lie.
