If this gets worse imma have to go back to the doctor about it. That's it's own hassle.
OK, in October 24 Republicans came out definitely against abolishing the filibuster. And probably more than half aren't up for reelection this year for Trump to pressure. Only takes 4 GOP votes (plus enough to counter Fetterman or whoever crosses over) to keep it in place.
He heard Anthony Joshua was in the crowd
i am a man who sweats somewhat excessively and i have never in my life sweated my way through an undershirt, a shirt, *and* a presumably expensive suit jacket
I don't think we're gonna see many transits soon
So I'm assuming maritime insurance for this area is totally nonexistent after this? (if it wasn't already)
An oil tanker has been targeted in territorial waters near Iraq. #MiddleEast
Iowa farmer: We've had this huge jump in fertilizer prices because of this conflict. With 30% of fertilizer coming through the Strait or Hormuz, we've only been in conflict for 12 days here, and our fertilizer costs have jumped 77%.
That whole family needs to disappear into the trashcan of history along with the Clintons, Bushes and Trumps.
MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.
Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

What a prick
Schadlow: "Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war."
Article I, Section 8: "The Congress shall have Power ... To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water"

Side note: Media outlets that refused to cave to Pentagon press rules have been coming up with scoop after scoop from military sources. So much for Hegsethβs attempt to strangle journalism
no, the Houthi airpower campaign broadly didn't work: it's why they ended it
Starting to think that every government and every military should have to employ at least one highly-ranked advisor with an catastrophizing anxiety disorder
this is the kind of content that ends up getting censored with crackdowns on sex and queer content. people trying to help queer (or straight) homeless kids trying to navigate safe ways to get it on--and they will encounter it either way, just like every kid will
Warrior ethos and lethality!
Since we're doing "saying writers should read is gatekeeping" again, I'll tell the tale of my friend whose dad wrote a book and truly believed it was going to be hailed as the best book of all time...bc he'd only read 2 novels in his life & was therefore "free from influence."
Spoiler: it was not!
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
I really just do not understand how this could be possible
i am being absolutely serious here: CENTCOM had one job and it was literally to prepare for an Iran contingency
I spent 45 minutes trying and failing to convince a full bird Colonel with multiple Afghanistan and Iraq deployments that Afghanistan is not an Arabic speaking country. I was helped in this discussion (to no avail) by two Afghan interpreters who were more polite than I was.
Character firehose-blasting out torrents of shit, piss, cum, snot, sweat, earwax, tears and belly button lint all at the same time, until he collapses into an empty sack of skin.
Hey, folks, one of my dearest friends who just lost their job recently owes the IRS $700. They feel really unsafe having their name/payment info online so i'm acting as their go-between; paypal is below, cashapp is $AdrienneLeigh. Put 'IRS' in the note and i will pass it to them directly.
