She wants to avoid an official role in Trump's inevitable next impeachment

JD Vance is a fucking coward

We need to stop calling it a ‘peace plan,’ even with sarcastic quotes around it. Call it the US-Kremlin plan or similar.
‘US-Kremlin plan’ shames the US and makes it sound deeply unappealing to the broader US and European publics.

What a relief it would be for him to no longer bear responsibility for Eric's genes

Veto proof majorities in both houses.

If they’re only investigating Democrats, that should mean they can release all the files concerning Republicans.

What’s the exchange rate between prune points and rubles?

Veto-proof vote in the House. Now we need 67 votes in the senate. Possible, between the 47 Ds and the 22 Rs up for reelection next year. Even if passed, Trump will try to mislead with redactions and abuse classification authority to delay releasing anything damaging to him personally.

Also who is to say how such an abstract entity as "the public" perceives the case? Why is that perception relevant in a court of law?

If someone is detained by ICE but is not otherwise detainable by a sheriff, that means they haven't committed any crime and have at worst committed the civil infraction of remaining in the country without a visa. So Whatley's argument that criminals were left on the street is false *by definition*.

The recent controversy over lead in protein powder demonstrates this issue perfectly. Companies classified food as supplements to avoid FDA regulations, then produced food with unsafe lead content, well above what is permitted in regulated food. Deregulation is an ideology untethered to reality.

A little afternoon music...

When they can't win an argument on the merits, they attempt to redefine the meaning of words to defend their actions. No one is ever guilty of sexually abusing minors if we redefine minor to exclude anyone who was sexually abused.

This is exactly like when they tried to redefine "collusion" during Trump's first term to equal the higher standard for criminal conspiracy. Rather than confront irrefutable proof of wrongdoing by Trump and his close associates, the right will attempt to distract by arguing semantics in bad faith.

Her disappointment is reasonable. Cheating on your wife is one thing, but it takes a special kind of man to cheat on his daughter

The cops say the dog "accidentally" shot his owner? How do they know the dog didn't intend to shoot the guy?

They’re calling Megyn Kelly
“Megyn R. Kelly" now.

And of course the investigation will exclusively focus on Democrats.

Trump is ordering an investigation into Epstein's ties to powerful people for one simple reason: DOJ policy prohibits releasing files relating to an active investigation. He's stalling, and unfortunately delay tactics have served him very well thus far in his criminal career.

Can’t wait until they start defending the forced prostitution part too

And 435 members of the House since 1929 even though the population has almost tripled.

Done at the request of the Heritage Foundation, even as it is riven by controversy over the Republicans' burgeoning Nazi problem. People who defend Nazis should not dictate how we memorialize the heroes who sacrificed their lives fighting the Nazis.

Most years have a linear trend, meaning the budget was accurate (even for 2016 crisis). Spikes show in years w/ big shocks needing midyear budget revision (20/22). War didn't break the 23 budget, so 24/25 shortfalls suggest increasingly unrealistic/overoptimistic budgets. Errors which compound YoY.

Fundamentally, they are robbing civilian Peters to pay military Pauls. They can rob the civilians more w/ higher inflation or unemployment, or cut military costs (e.g., mobilizing is cheaper than bonus-driven volunteers). Either approach risks triggering unrest, and the latter risks losing the war.
