I mean they've been using the "we thought he had a gun and someone was going to be harmed" as an excuse to kick down Black/Hispanic/etc. people's doors for decades. I just fully expect this to make it even worse. It's gonna be easy to expand it against political dissidents and LGBTQ people.

Had to edit my post because I forgot to check the precise date of the ruling.

I just learned that in January the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that it is legal for law enforcement to enter the home of any gun owner without probable cause or a warrant if they simply "believe" there is a threat to individual or public safety.

The 4th Amendment is basically gone.

Meme. Colored drawing of medieval-looking people fishing in a stream with nets and wicker traps. It's a busy scene, and the people look somewhat happy and also industrious. All of the figures are muscled and would look quite dangerous if they came upon you in a dark alley with their nets and spears and all. Right now they're only fishing for fish. If they became fishers of men, they'd make for an excellent mob of muggers. *

The ladies have leaves in their hats, which adds a festive air to the event. It's clearly a fishing party. They all have colorful shirts, but the men are wearing brown shirts only. Apparently, fishing (like so many other things in life, it seems) is only manly if you wear the right uniform. Likely they are also saying condescending things to each other, and comparing the size of their eels. Boys will be boys, etc.

You can't see any fish or eels, but they're there. Judging you for your sins.

Meme text reads:
"TFW your revenue stream
is dammed complicated"

* Not muggers like the mugger of Mugger-Ghaut, however. Though that would explain why they're all in the water.

Are you having trouble keeping your eels to yourself? The Prior of Hardham understands.

In 1400 he accused locals of diverting water from the his stream & stealing his fish. The stream had been good for 4,000 eels per year. But now the Prior complained that he could only get 200!

NEW: We’re suing the Trump administration.

They have refused to respond to our FOIA requests on whether Trump plans to deploy troops to polling places and drop boxes.

Trump is trying to cheat and intimidate his way through midterms he knows the GOP will lose. We’re fighting back.

It still baffles me that this man was Strom Thurmond's hand-picked successor.

I mean say what you will about Thurmond the disparity in political acumen between him and Lindsay Graham is as wide as the "Gulf of America" he so loves. What the fuck did he see in Graham other than their shared racism?

I think the reasons you state though are why Iran won't become a failed state or a warlording land. Iran's people have some of the most deeply entrenched unifying beliefs in the world, and the longest tradition of statehood. It might be disunited for a little while, but it will come back from that.

I was going to say, there's a few extremely highly decorated ones found in contexts clearly not indicative of parade, including at Kalkriese IIRC.

I think this is probably both factually true and yet practically false.

On the one hand, historians strongly prejudiced against mil-hist are rare. On the other hand, even a fairly small percentage of such historians is enough to massively reduce the job prospects of one doing mil-hist in academia.

BTW I know it's popular to hate on New Canon but shoutout to the Dooku Episodes of "Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi" for just being all around stellar writing and animation.
