Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.
The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

If you can't report on what the President is doing because it is "inappropriate", maybe that's exactly what you *should* be reporting?

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.
I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.
I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

We have not always been this insane. It was just in 2008 that SCOTUS’ interpretation of the 2A shifted, with DC v. Heller, to an individual right instead of a collective one within in a “well regulated militia”, and limited of gun regulation.
🎧 Great podcast on that decision:
