be clear that Drazan’s maga policies would be of course bad, but the looming issue here is that they will import hacks who will come in and use her administration to break oregon and sell it off for parts (to corrupt sex pests), creating a sense of chaos and hardship we would not soon recover from

Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.

The kids won't remember peak Newt.
If combat means living in a ditch, females have biological problems staying in a ditch for 30 days because they get infections and they don't have upper body strength. I mean some do, but they're relatively rare.

"On the other hand, men are basically little piglets, you drop them in the ditch, they roll around in it, it doesn't matter, you know. These things are very real.

"On the other hand, if combat means being on an aegis-class cruiser managing the computer controls for 12 ships and their rockets, a female may again be dramatically better than a male who gets very, very frustrated sitting in a chair all the time because males are biologically driven to go out and hunt giraffes.

way way beyond my horizon, yet i remember Bert Dreyfus say many times about "what computers can't do." In everyday life, humans derive the "know what" from our understanding of "know how," computers not so much. (Dreyfus pulled this from *Being & Time* and from pragmatism.

schmitt has outdone himself. he has a long long history of beshitting himself in MO. but here today on the national stage he is the clown-of-the-day in washington dc. (looking forward to the full news stories detailing this shit, and unearthing whatever loons in schmitt's office that dreamed it up)

Jack Smith: Donald Trump preyed on party loyalty and fear. One of the reasons he [failed] is bc Republicans stood up. I personally find it hard to understand how our investigation could be viewed as partisan when our strongest witnesses were Republicans. [Names Rusty Bowers and Mike Pence.]
