I never had money or a science degree. I just watched Cosmos as a kid, devoured documentaries, and read articles on wikipedia all day.

It’s something but it’s not enough. There needs to be an international coalition that imposes a no fly zone over Israel, and an embargo of their ports, and sends food aid to Gaza and military aid to the PLO

People who become police usually like hurting people and people who join ICE were the bottom of the barrel that even the police wouldn’t recruit

Maybe the Italians should strike again until their navy actually protects the flotilla

A Democracy filled with religious extremists.

Lol

Since the Iraqi military was either defeated on the battlefield or surrendered and US troops pulled Saddam out of a spider hole to drag him off for trial and execution, I’d call that a bad analogy.

I admit I only know the highlights. It would make sense for Hegseth to focus on appearances over substance.

I mean, insofar as Hegseth has internalized the culture war and can’t stop being a fox news host long enough to do his job. I think priming the Military to eventually use it against the American population was the main purpose of this gathering.

He’s exhausted, his job is basically begging foreigners for money and weapons, and his family has been in hiding the whole war.

Hard to say he’s running the war badly considering that Ukraine still exists 3 years later when most outside observers were wondering if Ukraine would last 3 days.

I mean, there was tons of “we’re invading American Cities and Fighting the Enemy within” bullshit too.

I’m guessing IRL Jesus would have started rage flipping tables and whipping people with his belt.

Small town in Oklahoma…they’re probably blaming their misfortune on the people that sued.

I liked Inquisition alot though the behind the scenes scoop was that the development process was a dumpster fire that only came together into a good game cause they got lucky.

BioWare has lost alot of it’s talent in the last several years. There’s almost no one left that played any hand in the Success of Dragonage or Mass Effect 1-3

I loved RDR but every time I try to play RDR2 I struggle to stay engaged for more than a couple hours. Then it’s 6-12 months before I play it again. Still haven’t finished a single play thru. Just can’t put my finger on why.

Turns out that having the legislature operate via a Gentleman’s Agreement that assumes good faith behavior and concentrates power in the hands of a small number of people was really bad for Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy.

Honestly, most German generals didn’t get purged, they mostly went along with the regime and they were considered reasonably competent during the war. The Soviets on the other hand had a big purge of their senior officers just before WW2 and the war went much worse for them in the beginning than it would have otherwise.

Venezuela is a good modern example of loyalty over competence and it’s the analogy I’ve been warning people about since the last year of Trumps first term. Firing the disloyal and promoting the loyal fucked over their entire government and economy.

Damn, that was an incredible amount of boot you just licked. Trump and Hegseth are going after people for Political Disloyalty. But to answer part of your bad faith question, Americans remain Americans regardless of being in gangs or being black. And terrorists/talibans/cartels are NOT the people they’ve been brutalizing with the new Gestapo.
