I actually agree. But long-term, the only way to succeed is passing legislation. And we are completely failing at that right now. This is all meaningless if the next Democrat President can simply reverse everything. Let's solve this, now. Once and for all.
This is why we need to cut off the immigration spigot. We can’t rely on Democrats to enforce any of the laws, so it’s best they don’t come here at all. We might be more open to immigration if we thought we could ever get rid of ones. We don’t want, but since we can’t without a

the trump administration can be understood as an op, taking all of the politically highest cost and most publicly obnoxious approaches to reducing marginal illegal immigration while employing none of the quiet measures that would decisively choke it out

<shrug> Intellectually I get that we should care, but I honestly can't muster much of a give-a-sheet.
Is hard for me to think of a more counterproductive thing for a German Chancellor to say. It is very easy to describe how security in Europe is an American interest, but to imply that it is not one all of a sudden, is to play into the hands of those in the US who want to make it

A great write up by @johnkonrad of SecWar @PeteHegseth’s Senior Advisor for Strategy @geressy187: “He’s the anti-PowerPoint strategist: the one person in the room who knows in his bones what every arrow and icon on the slide will cost in limbs and funerals if the plan is wrong.

I’m a big guy. I’ve been lifting weights for ten years. I look intimidating, I guess. I was at Planet Fitness doing bench presses. I noticed a kid in the corner. He was maybe 16, really overweight. He was looking around like he was terrified someone was going to laugh at him. He

For being two of the most culturally & historically similar countries on the planet, Australians are weirdly negative toward the USA while Americans (when we think of them at all) generally regard Australians with great affection. I don't really understand it.

IDK who told you the U.S. Navy has “no active frigates,” but they lied. Now we just need to figure out how to put VLS cells on her.

Yes. Absolutely! That is the world that I want to live in. However, that is not our current world, nor is it our natural state. Such a world needs to be created, and then vigorously defended. 4/

Logistics win wars.
I’m about 1/3 of the way through Craig Symond’s, “Nimitz at War”, and after the Japanese, the #1 problem he faced fighting in the Pacific? A shortage of….wait for it…tankers and oilers.

This guy admits that the dude he organized a campaign against to get him fired from his job wasn't even "racist," and then just doubles down saying he was a "dick" who needed to "learn a lesson" (presumably about the power of the Indian online brigade mob)
Let me be clear: I do NOT apologize for calling Nik out for his comment. I think it was reprehensible and didn’t delete my tweet either. I will always continue to call out racist behavior from anyone in tech, particularly to my own identity, and have zero tolerance for it.

For a decades white males were scapegoated for societies ills by being told every historic evil was their fault and every success they ever had was undeserved. The question is not "why have some men radicalized?" The question is "why are there any who haven't?"

Indiana is a deep red state, but it's also old-school-midwestern fair-play nice. We may love some of Trump's BS, but not all of it.
Gov. Mike Braun is a masochist. That’s all I can figure.

Adding an evil corporate antagonist to ANIMAL FARM might be the worst "adaptation" choice I've ever seen. The evil coming entirely from within the farm is the whole goddamn point of the book.

it's funny, because if you actually think through the implications of this incident, they're all negative for the standard prog narrative > Rs aren't racist, they'll jump to support a black person who signals alignment > black people scam a lot
In 2018, a Black woman proved how easy it is to grift from the MAGA lot. She put on their hat and pretended that her family was kicking her out because she supports Trump. The rest is history.

Good. I’m all for Europeans defending themselves. I don’t know why they believe this is some sort of own on the United States for them to be doing exactly what Trump told them to do.
