Cannot emphasize enough that the two Destroyers deployed to the strait to do mineclearing are doing so because 1) in 2018 Trump unilaterally walked away from the Iran deal, 2) Trump decided to launch the war a month ago under the assumption it would go a lot better than this. Blunder after blunder

I love the Talmud

rimonoroni Follow
christians: what could possibly be in that evil book.... what horrible spells does it hold within its pages... what black magic does it propagate....
the talmud: so if you send your kid off to Torah school but he has a really hard time with it, send him back home and go to school yourself instead so that once you've learned Torah you can go and teach your entire family. in fact, once some rabbi went out to go to Torah school and do just this, and on his way he came through this town and he asked if he could stay in the synagogue for the night. and of course the rabbi said yes but weird enough no one was in the streets and something was kind of off about the whole place. so our hero went into the synagogue only to find a seven headed demon just hanging out in the library!! our hero is terrified and prays super hard and because of this the demon is vanquished. he goes back to the rabbi and is like "dude wtf" and the rabbi was like "listen i know this is unorthodox but you're well known for how good at praying you are and this demon has been terrorizing us for well over a month and we were desperate. we knew you wouldn't die" and the guy was like "i didn't know that!" who do you think is in the right? hm. tough question. anyway. what were we talking about again? oh right. what if you make your sukkah doorway 1/7 of a cubit too short. would that be fucked up or what

Liberalism too was born out of tremendous violence, in terms of both ruthlessness and scale. But this has been forgotten, particularly by liberals. Some of this is intentional. Mostly I think it's just a kind of passive Whig history; the notion that the "arc of the universe" simply bent towards it.
