Also there's nothing incompatible with having a "big tent" and having primaries where candidates with different views compete for the nomination! That's how it works!

A guy whoโ€™s really into both the founder of the National Bolshevik Party and a literal Nazi is going to explain why everything normal is called fascist.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

I don't think members of Congress have any place putting down other people for not knowing how to budget.

๐ŸšจThis is HUGE. In a lawsuit against Operation Metro Surge, a Trump appointee rules that DHS "likely maintained unconstitional policies" during the massive ICE operation.

However, "largely owing to" ICE's somewhat decreased presence in Minneapolis, the judge denied a court order on standing grounds.

In interview, Cardinal McElroy says U.S. entry into war with Iran โ€˜not morally legitimate,โ€™ citing Catholic just war teaching - Catholic Standard

Cardinal McElroy: โ€œThe criterion of just cause is not met because our country was not responding to an existing or imminent and objectively verifiable attack by Iran.โ€ www.cathstan.org/us-world/in-...

We have a virtually unlimited supply, but for some reason I got all the industry leaders together to convince them to increase production.

The US also has intelligence suggesting that China may be preparing to provide Iran with financial assistance, spare parts and missile components, three people familiar with the matter said, though Beijing has stayed out of the war up until now. China relies heavily on Iranian oil and has reportedly been pressuring Tehran โ to allow safe passage for vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Just an interesting bit of trivia, but the Preacher of the Papal Household is always a Capuchin Franciscan (since 1753 anyway) and the Theologian of the Papal Household (formerly known as the Master of the Sacred Palace) is always a Dominican.

Also, theyโ€™ve spent the past several decades creating their own alternative educational and cultural institutions. Itโ€™s weird to then complain theyโ€™re not represented in more prestigious institutions!

His best case scenario is us scared and small, turning against each other, embracing police state, indifferent to each others suffering because we are occupied by our own

"...so we can have ICE arrest them, detain them until they're near death, and then deport them somewhere they'll be executed."

Ironically FBI Director Kash Patelโ€™s original claim to fame was writing the โ€œNunes memoโ€ that criticized the process by which the FBI got a FISA warrant for Carter Page in the Russia investigation.
