Ethics matter. Facts matter. Resist the post-fact world being forced on us. I wish I could sleep as soundly as my cat. Slava 🇺🇦 !
The plan as leaked to the press are Russia's war aims. It is a surrender document that allows Russia to rebuild and finish UKR off completely. Ukr cannot sign it and they won't.

I mean yeah, we are talking TX. I love Crockett, but I am not convinced she is electable over Cornyn. Talarico speaks directly about our obligation to help the poor. I do wonder if his sermons on Jesus make many uncomfortable with their greed and hatred for people of different ethnicities.

Talarico could win if he can get a good campaign put together. TX is a big state and organization/dollars count. I don't know how he is received by evangelicals since he openly reminds Christians about the teachings of Christ. Christ as friend to the poor, strangers and sick. He is a great speaker.

The ostrich strategy is in the top 3 of MAGA. 1. Deflection. 2. Gaslighting and 3. If I don't measure it, then it doesn't exist. Note these are are tactics used by toddlers.

Congress can make such an attack illegal

To refuse an illegal order is in the UCMJ, but you need to show it is a patently illegal order. Blowing up boats in international waters is, to me, a patently illegal order. Notably, an Admiral DID resign. Sad as it is, attacking Venezuela is not a war crime. again see Congressional responsibilities

What kind of Congress rejects their responsibilities? Congress is supposed to impeach or 25th Amendment this. Not the military's job to oppose stupid wars.

I think what is destroying gov function is gerrymandering. It systemically undermines bipartisanship. It is also a way of forcing non majoritarian representation in the House.
Also have a term limit for SCOTUS. 12 to 18 yrs tops.

The Senate was designed around state's rights. It was never about representation. We have the House for that.
I do think SCOTUS should have 18yr term limits and be expanded to fit the federal districts.

Gee, that's strange. If I go to the Kaiser Foundation website it is pretty clear they didn't retract that cost increase projection. These people lie so effortlessly. I mean, they just make things up constantly.

At 298$/month for one person it is pretty damn hard to build up a pantry of food. That is about 10$ a day. Even if you cook all your meals and never grab a burger that is a week to week ration.

That doesn't even make sense. Court Martials are far more serious than any NDA. Plus, as far as I know, NDAs would not be binding if it contradicts the service oath. Just more BS from a bunch of idiots. No officer should be forced or asked to sign an NDA.

Wow, so close to almost understanding the problem. The fact that 40M people are living on virtually nothing should be eye opening, but no they can't see the poor , not even their own constituents.
