it's a sad commentary on the state of affairs when the positive spin reads like a career killing headline from a decade ago. I have the polar opposite of a silver lining mentality now. It's much better for my sanity to just call out these bastards for exactly what they are.

the logical mistake is to assume that people who call themselves "Christians" spend even one second thinking about what values they're supposed to uphold and defend as part of their "faith". They're just along for the free eternal life perk without understanding it's not actually free.

typical Republican. Absolutely clueless. the Internet remembers FOREVER, and Trump is not immortal. The second he does and all these cockroaches scurry back into the shadows, we need to drag them back into the light for a reckoning.

it's always about the money, and the power to steal more of yours. if it didn't make them richer, none of these greedy bastards would care about being politicians at all.
maybe we should all refocus our efforts on getting money OUT of politics, instead of letting the thieves IN.

but if they can get everyone in the department to do 5 jobs for the price of 1 like Rubio, then they can take the money they're not spending and put it in their pockets.

he could cut rates to 0% again, and Trump would still find a way to destroy the economy.

Eisenhower didn't actually order that intervention by the national guard, Arkansas Governor Faubus of ordered it, which is an important distinction. Eisenhower may have requested it from the Governor, but he did not invoke an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act in that situation.

My biggest fear is that people are numb, when they should be terrified and full of rage against what's being done in their names. It's not looking good right now, to say the least.

Yeah, there's a reason for that. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the federal government from using the military as a domestic police force. The national guard is established as part of the Army and Air Force, so those troops are not exempt.
