I read those back then too. They would've made amazing movies.

I can respect this view.

Opinion | A Republic, but Can We Keep It? From the military and the Justice Department to the East Wing, there’s reason to wonder and worry.

Peggy Noonan writes the dumbest garbage. How does someone this dumb get paid to write opinions?

Insurrections against the government are illegal too. Stealing classified documents is illegal. Selling pardons, er, well, that used to be illegal (before 2024).

Bottom line: don't hold your breath

Tribalism.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When your right against arbitrary arrest no longer functions in practice, it should be taken as a leading indicator of the demise of constitutional order.

America is becoming an authoritarian nightmare right in front of our eyes.

They knew. From the beginning, they all knew. They voted for him even after the Access Hollywood tapes and several dozen sexual misconduct allegations broke. As long as I live, I'll never let them forget it.

There are strange reflections coming from Trump. Makes me think his doctors must have given him some reason to reflect on his mortality.

Uncle Iroh has great speeches for Prince Zuko. But sometimes, I think they're for me.

Well, if his Discord channel has clues as to his political leanings and influences, then we should see a NYTimes story on it soon.

Yeah, that seems like the most plausible guess right now to me, given the family background and limited time spent in college. But until more facts are uncovered, it's just guesswork.

Yeah, I see how it looks. I just need something that authenticates it. I got Republican friends saying he's a lib, referencing other social media rumors.

Yeah, I've only seen tweets (not reporting) on the Trans partner (roommate?) rumor as well.

Yeah. I'm not doubting it. But I just need to see something more than a pic of him dressed as a frog to feel like that's confirmed. I want to see a mainstream news outlet reporting that Tyler Robinson consumed a lot of online content put out by Nick Fuentes or whatever.

Seems like still not enough information to confidently assign a political affiliation or motive to Tyler Robinson. If you manage to verify the rumored Nick Fuentes connection with something more substantial than a tweet, let me know. That would be something.

Wow, I bet that was amazing!

I've always wanted to see Oasis live. I've seen Noel perform with High Flying Birds, but it wasn't the full Oasis experience obviously. (It was great when he sang Don't Look Back in Anger though.)

You're 100% right. I'm not excusing Bolton.

I wish he had testified in 2019 too. But let's not pretend it would have mattered. There was more than enough testimony to convict Trump. Bolton's testimony would have changed nothing. Republicans weren't voting to convict Trump no matter what.

You are totally safe inside Bah Sing Se.

That wouldn't work today. We've known since 2016 he had no decency. We elect him anyway because no one cares about that anymore.

Yeah.

I don't think so. Most of our neighbors knew what they were voting for, and they wanted this.

2/ but they refused to readmit him into the Party. His wife wasn't released. Where was she? Was she still alive? He wondered anxiously.

Would you imagine he was more upset by losing his wife or by losing his party membership?

He was sent to the front when the Germans invaded...

"Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets" recounts the story of a man whose wife was arrested by the NKVD. He was too. He was tortured in NKVD custody but refused to sign any confessions. He was a loyal communist and insisted on his good standing in the Party. He was eventually released...1/

Did he say that specifically about defunding USAID, or about supporting Trump generally?

No, they're planning on having elections. But they're more afraid of losing primaries than those.

The Powell presentation was at the U.N., not Congress. But this is the correct take.
