Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

Putting the phobia in homophobia

Yeah we kinda need an actual ceasefire before enforcing any kinda of peacekeeping operation. Also this isn’t two waring African nation, if a German peacekeeping force engages with the Russian army that should probably trigger a NATO response.

So 89 troops per state? TF are they going to do? Respond to calls slower than cops? Stand near a peaceful protest? Guard a federal building? Learn to be detectives and work cold cases with their brigade while documenting their progress by producing a biweekly true crime podcast?

National Guard, by and large, does not want to be doing this.

My ethical gun is safer than your criminal gun.

Or Central New York which could have been relevant if this wasn’t a mayoral election.

That doesn’t really paint a clear picture. Department of Public Safety is doing the detaining and “Republicans” is fairly nebulous. What law gives the Department of Public Safety the right to force Texas state representatives to accept a police escort? What about detaining them in the congressional building? Who said she could sleep in her office? On who’s authority?

The article does not mention what entity or law is compelling them to stay? Are we really at “might makes right” in the Texas Senate?

Being in jail actually makes it harder to return work.

Do I like seeing him fuck with Trump? Yes.

Is he a dirty neo liberal? Yes.

Would I support him in a primary for President in 2028? Probably not. I sure hope someone better shows up.

Would I support him if he won the Democratic primary? Yes. Assuming we get elections. Assuming the DNC hasn’t fully fractured and a third party candidate cannot reasonably win.

Would he fix our country? No. See item 2.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Its not hard, people.

“Just give them some free stuff. It doesn’t need to make sense. The PR value you get is worth so much more than the monetary value of the gift”

If large complex lifeforms and ecosystems began to evolve to live on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, would it be immoral to remove/clean the garbage patch?

“Be brave men. Those sandwiches are no match for our guns.”

Does deleting emails or photos actually clear up space in data centers? I imagine the sweet sweet data is still accessible by the company but just not for you.

Just give them Alaska so we can have peace in our time.

“I can farm my own food”

Not with that tree cover and acidic soil.

I’m starting to think Israel isn’t interested in a two state solution.

That’s a long list of words I have never heard of. I do like how SQL somehow fits the bill of a 4GL.

Marines opening fire? I think only during the Rodney King riots.

Any military branches opening fire? The Kent State Shooting and The Bonus Army Incident.

Any military branches just bombing the shit out of civilians on US soil? The Battle of Blair Mountain and The Philadelphia MOVE Bombing

Surely there are no examples in American history that voting eligibility exams were used to stop certain demographics from voting.
