Go to a rural county and tell me why the sheriff, whom everyone knows is corrupt, keeps getting re-elected.

There is no way to reduce deportations without a substantial defunding of law enforcement in rural areas, who have long operated like a baronial class unto themselves.

"Putin has passed the point where he can simply end the war without threatening his own hold on power." This point needs front-loading. It needs to be loudly stated that Putin only continues for his own survival. It must be understood globally and internally within Russia.

The occult is a deep river. It flows below our obvious culture, sometimes surfacing to delight people who like a little understanding or think they can sell it to others. The truth is it flows regardless of those looking at it from the surface. It's an unstoppable current. – #DICallaghan

We murdered four more people in a boat today
U.S. southern Command: On October 4, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere executed a lethal, kinetic strike on a go-fast vessel operating along established narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean. Confirmed intelligence revealed the vessel's active involvement in narco-trafficking. The operation killed four narco-terrorists. @DeptofWar

sure, i guess it’s possible that jack buhring voted for biden on november 3, 2020 and by january 11, 2021 he was posting support for trump’s insurrection contesting the results of the election. but even if that were true, it belies some pretty complicated politics not articulated in the story.

I would very much like to be wrong, but I'm not using an electoral politics model or a voting model, but a revolutionary warfare model & I'm not seeing any of the counter-revolutionary warfare actions that need to happen to get positive movement.

I don't actually think they're going to retake the Senate. And I have serious concerns that if they do retake the House it will only be by a handful of seats because of the hyper-extreme gerrymandering and hyper-extreme voter suppression that has been put in place.

Even if he had physician announce a formal diagnosis there's no way to believe it. He's already paid of University of Pennsylvania to fake the award of the bachelors degree he never completed, there's no reason to believe he hadn't paid of a doctor as well.

Good time to remember than other than his own always too convenient for him as an excuse assertions, there’s NO independent evidence that Musk has autism. There’s lots of independent evidence that he’s an abusive self-absorbed asshole whose wealth makes him immune to the consequences of his actions.

And if the Democrats do manage to take the Senate majority in the midterms he's going to put two 30 somethings on the Supreme Court in the lame duck to replace Alito and Thomas to try to lock their tyranny in for another 50 years.
