anyway, the American id understander himself, Hunter S. Thompson, the next week for goddamn ESPN of all places. the party's over, folks.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."

Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history -- which is no doubt true -- but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a war-time economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.

That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks. The time has come for loyal Americans to Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. ... Sacrifice. That is the new buzz-word in Washington. But what it means is not entirely clear.

So the president is sending in 2,500 Marines as the first ground troops deployed in this war, but that's not going to lead to any further escalation? We've heard that exact same claim before, right down to the specific 2,500 number -- Vietnam, March 1965. Remind me, how did that wind up working?
The second of the four stages of decision belongs to 6 March 1965, when the President approved the landing of two U.S. Marine Corps battalions ... These battalions, comprising some 2,500 marines, were the first American ground combat unites to enter South Vietnam.In 1965, the Marines were the first of the U. S.
Armed Services to deploy large ground combat units
to South Vietnam. By the end of the year, more than
38,000 Marines made up the Ill Marine Amphibious
Force (Ill MAF) under the command of Major
General Lewis W. Walt.

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like: 1) They were beating a struggling man with batons 2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back 3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away 4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

If accountability were monetized, the fallout from this administration’s actions would fund repairing the economy many times over. The damage to our global credibility, alliances, and trust won’t be so easily repaid. Coming to terms with our own complicity as a people is a separate bill.

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter. Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.
