As an IU alum, I fully endorse this comment. His physical, psychological, and racial abuse of his players is another similarity.

It is this section of Matthew that has always made it impossible for me to listen to evangelicals “testify.” How the current crop of Republicans can pass themselves off as Christians is beyond me. Their support for Trump is even more inexplicable.

It’s a bad day when the news breaking in about the Sean Combs trial is an improvement on the stories about the Big Bad Bill and Alligator Alcatraz.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Thanks for posting this! I was a rotator there for three years. I must have been exposed to this history but the onboarding experience was like drinking from a fire hose.

With respect, I remember being taught about it but with an emphasis toward westward expansion, not northern. It was given as a rationale for the hideous treatment of indigenous people here, I believe. But my memory may be foggy. I don’t know anyone who believes Canada should be part of the US.

So they won’t complain when more valuable things like rights and bodily autonomy are taken from them as women.

It’s a quote from Shakespeare’s Henry VI. A mob is preparing to sack London, and if there aren’t lawyers to try the miscreants, one character feels they can get away with anything.

I have no doubt it could have happened in either or both countries, but Pinochet was Chilean, not Argentinian.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.
