1. We prefer symbolism over substance.
2. We prefer giving money to blood.
3. We are not prepared to fight a war because we've ignored our military for half a century.
4. We can't even get our own house in order.
5. If we wish hard enough, Putin will go away.

That's simply proper vetting. If you don't ask, they don't tell. That he's trying to play it for points says a lot.
As an Independent, I can't vote in primaries because I live in a closed state. If I could, my vote right now would be for Mark Kelly.

I remain perplexed by Shapiro's apparent belief that attacking Kamala Harris, and on an issue where Shapiro is incredibly out of step with his party's base, will somehow catapult him to the presidency.

I dunno Uncle Billy. I'm kind of hoping for the ending of "Debt of Honor" as the best option we have right now.
One way to look at the infighting among liberal/progressive/left people is that we have an American Party and a Global Fascism Party, and that choice is 100% about morality.

It's hilarious to see all the movie pundits and and reporters fawning over F1, saying "It's an original story, that's why it deserves a place in the Oscars"... Because clearly people can't remember all the way back to 2001.

Met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Davos earlier today.
We talked about the tests NATO is facing, and Canada’s resolute support for the Alliance. We’re quadrupling our defence spending — including scaling up our investments in Arctic security to defend the northwestern flank.
