It is best to love first what you are fitted to love, I suppose: you must start somewhere and have some roots, and the soil of the Shire is deep.

I know SCOTUS literally already said that it was open season on any kind of Brown folk but this is another in "the irony of the error proves the stupidity of the whole entire concept".
Native American nearly deported after Polk County jail issues ICE detainer by mistake

It appears that a NYT opinion columnist is including hits for Theo Epstein in her defense of the Times’ coverage of that other Epstein fella.
Hey genius - I literally just plugged those dates into the NYT search bar and got pages of Epstein stories. Maybe instead of being an arrogant dipshit, bother to check stuff before you repost it. And right back atcha.

Some real Thin Grey Line/Grey Wall thinking here.
We’re seeing materials that no journalists, not Julie Brown, not Ronan Farrow, not anyone from any paper, managed to get access to before now. The conspiracy theories bouncing around about NYT are nothing more than a show people’s ignorance of what goes into a real piece of investigative journalism

"the US is uniquely bad" and/or "the US is uniquely/inevitably doomed" are also American exceptionalism

Every single time! Epstein will write:

"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:

"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

When I went into the NG, the brigade combat team was on tap to do a year long training mission in Poland. And I said “Poland? They want me to miss Charles’ kindergarten year to go to Poland? We can’t even kill anyone in Poland”.

And I was 35 and had two AFG deployments.
The enlisted marines are all on fire to get into combat and kill people. Kim didn’t like that and called them “idiots”. Which they are. But I empathize, I’m sure it would be very frustrating to be a young ground combat service member with no war to fight.

In the new Netflix Marine documentary, there’s a an extraordinary large Marine SSG who is the PSG of the scout sniper section.

When they embark, he talks about the enlisted mess, the tiny room where he and the other E6 rates eat, the goat locker and the officer’s wardroom.

I took the wee bairns out to breakfast yesterday and ordered a round of hot chocolate for the table. One of them came in this mug, the particular mug of a fellow intel professional.

Hey, remember when Mike Johnson lied about Donald Trump being an FBI informant focused on bringing down Jeffrey Epstein? Did we ever get any resolution on that? Seems important, given these new emails implicating Trump in Epstein's abuse.

This goes for you lefty vets who want to be tortured souls today too. If you’ve got the day off,,, take the kids to breakfast. Attend a community event, volunteer a few hours if that assuages your conscience.

My one regret and piece of advice for young service members is; don’t think that you’re too cool to pose for a photo. You’re doing some pretty incredible things and you’re going to want to remember it.
