Well, this is an ode to occupying Hispaniola; apparently the Middle East is tired of us, so we're going to plan B.
I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

The whole idea of illegal orders is why the military wasn't the governmental branch enforcing slavery and Black Codes. Without this legal necessity, our armed forces become tools of people or agencies, not of a constitution.

New rule: if you’re a Supreme Court Justice and you’re mentioned in the Epstein files, you have to recuse from any future lawsuit about the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Reality: Parties with a big tent have to address big questions and compromise, in a democracy.

If this occurs, the next administration should prosecute everybody involved.
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Meanwhile, in some parts of the country, DEI is becoming more and more a way of life. It's possible the number of such areas has expanded, in the face of the regressionism in DC. More voters playing the long game would've meant more Democratic voters in 2024.
„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I don't understand how this could be enforced. If people don't want to do their jobs, they'll just stop doing them. Should they still get paid if they stop reading bills and voting? Should they lose their pensions? What if there's a real emergency in the family?
I say this as a former Member of Congress - it’s wrong for Members to resign before their term is up. When you run for the House & ask people for their vote, you are committing to serving a 2yr term, to representing your constituents for 2yrs. That means you serve that full term.

Some nations have national pension systems:
Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Blue states hope that enough red staters are learning that their states are holes, because their governments just don't care about them. Blue states have their issues, certainly, but that's because we debate how to encourage and sustain diverse democracy. Since PBO won 2x, red states hate democracy.

applied for a ft position today. It would be to replace my former supervisor, who was made so miserable by a new administrator, that she was forced to resign. If interviewed, I'll make clear that I won't be treated like that.

He's probably in the files to an extent. He did know Epstein, but USA Today has reported that Epstein said Clinton never went to his island. That may have given Bubba plausible deniability, however, and it's possible Bill had suspicions and never discussed them.
