This is very true
Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

We go to the friend of Ann this week. What, if anything, makes her stand out from her partner in crime? Does she have a new and equally probably made up back story? Find out! totalusrankiump.podbean.com/e/20-mary-re...

Ok - we’ll be right over

We just have a gentle chat

I understand your concerns…

Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters

That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian

It’s genuinely surprising, but actually quite nice to discover the Greene is a True Believer of MAGA. I vehemently disagree with her politics and her manner - but I have to praise people sticking to their political beliefs. Because 95% of the GOP will do whatever to stay in power and get rich.

Many historians of Rome identify Roman generals becoming the personal sources of payment for their armies as a key step in the downfall of the Republic, since it personalized military authority and freed armies to fight for their immediate leader, who paid them, instead of for the Republic

Just finished interviewing the great Yoav Tirosh @realmundiriki about Ljósvetninga saga. While I liked the part where he called me brilliant, the roasting he gave John and me was most enjoyable!
This was a great interview. I look forward to editing (so much cursing!) and sharing with you all soon.
