It’s weird to make up reasons to get mad at Democrats about bad things Republicans have done!

Once again, I am sorry the truth offends you.

The funniest thing is Jesus, if I am recalling correctly (and this is reaching way back to first semester of my softmore year of my undergraduate, so quite awhile now) is like in the top 20 of ancient people who we have independent verification of their existence.

Fundamentally, the two sentences have massively different meanings. The changes fundamentally alter what the statement says.

A lot of people on this site *don’t* want their politics to get popular for more-radical-than-thou reasons, allies are undesirable in this case

Before he joined the Trump Administration, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote that tariffs are inflationary.

When he testified last month, I reminded him of his words. No matter how much he tries to deny it now, the president’s tariffs make life more expensive.

Maybe a cold take but it doesn't actually seem like being a world power and being staffed from top to bottom with intelligent and curious apparatchiki are compatible things

Iran doesn't have to deploy any mines in the Strait of Hormuz.

All they have to do is say they did.

Report: President Donald Trump Is Giving 'All The Boys' Dress Shoes That Don't Fit Right | Defector It goes without saying that there is a great deal of Psychology going on in Donald Trump’s second term. None of it is especially complicated, because the people involved are without exception clammy, ...

Very excited that we're somehow getting another day of discourse out of The Florsheim Affair, one of the most delightful stories of this awful last year and change. Keep on clompin' boys! defector.com/report-presi...

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

To be blunt a lot of these groups should've thought about the consequences of supporting attempts to suppress pro-Palestinian freedom of speech and even in some cases supporting the kidnapping of Arab students for their speech. *You* helped make him a cause celebre among liberals and left-liberals.

Legal experts say Anthropic has a strong case against its Pentagon blacklisting. Anthropic's lawsuit said that the supply chain risk designation punishes the company for its views on AI safety in violation of the First Amendment, which protects free speech and expression reut.rs/4lvCLwg

If raw milk was required to be labeled β€œpoop milk,” then I’d be more open to loosening the regulations on it.

Thomas Massie has a degree from MIT. He understands what pasteurization is. He just believes that parents should have the right to risk poisoning their children based on unscientific lies they’ve been told by online grifters whose content has been algorithmically amplified for profit by billionaires

I just reintroduced the Interstate Milk Freedom Act, HR 7880 with Congresswoman Chellie Pingree. The bill prevents the federal government from interfering with the interstate traffic of raw milk products between states where distribution or sale of such products is already legal.
Thank you to the original cosponsors:
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, Congressman Warren Davidson, Congressman Glenn Grothman, Congressman Clay Higgins, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, Rep. Scott Perry, U.S. Representative Chip Roy
Press Office, and Congressman Lloyd Smucker.

Thomas Massie may be on the right side of a couple issues today, but we shouldn’t forget that he’s bought and paid for by Big Listeria.

The number of people living in Britain between around 450 and 650 that we have anything resembling contemporary or first hand accounts of is in single figures.

This is true of most people in general prior to about 1700 or so

The first biography we have of Alexander the Great dates to 450 years after his death. We don't have any primary source evidence of Socrates or dozens of other historical figures

This just... isn't that extraordinary. If anything what's remarkable is how much contemporary evidence we have of him!

Jesus very much did, and we have a good deal of evidence to support that statement. I am not a scholar of the ancient world, thus cannot quote a lot of evidence. That being said, Jesus, when compared to many other people in ancient world is quite well documented for the time.

Again, there were/are plans but they assumed a fundamentally different (not insane) strategic environment for such a war

there was no plan for "YOLO Iran war with only bibi," hence why the best they came up with in a couple weeks was "uhhhh bomb stuff I guess"

No win scenario

All the planning involved some combination of "those assholes fired first" and "The World Has Decided It Is Time To End The Iranian Threat," both involve a level of ally+partner integration that is absolutely not the case here

There was literally no plan for "YOLO Iran war w/Bibi"

These are literally the kind of people that Sun Tzu wrote The Art Of War for:

Ignorant failsons full of their own egos, incapable of lacing their own sandals, let alone executing a successful military campaign.

Yes, they need to be winners to feel strong and they convinced themselves that they could beat everyone else because only they were not too weak, feminized, or civilized -β€œwoke.” At the same time, they thought foreigners are just inferior to Americans, if they thought about them at all.

Again, they do not believe that other people and countries have agency. They think that they can do what they want, and others will simply fall into line
