Nobody should die from dehydration, starvation, exposure to the elements, or lack of medical care due to inaction on the part of the government. he/him

I did not say that. I said I want Ukraine to win.

I'd like to believe this, but now I'm convinced Ukraine is doomed. The man who destroys all he touches has spoken.

We need a questionnaire for ICE:
1. When was the last time you assaulted a person?
2. Was that person a citizen of the U.S.A.?
3. Was this your own choice, or were you "just following orders" ?
{note that the last question is informational only; the answer won't change your sentencing at the trials}

The Trump shutdown is, at its heart, a distraction from the Trump-Epstein files. All this is truly a distraction from the Trump Project 2025 slide to fascism.

I guess they don't realize that if Ukraine falls, they're definitely next. (?)

Hear me out:
Make a mock bitcoin (or crypto or whatever) with this image on one side, with a phony ad saying that sales of the thing will fund Speaker of the House Mike Johnson's reelection campaign.

Image of Gilligan, from Gilligan's Island, sitting at a table with a tableskirt that reads "You can't make me! You can't make me! -- Change my mind"
This phrase was Gilligan's catch phrase on the show, when refusing to do something that eventually he wound up doing.

I usedc to live in Portland, OR. It looks so different today.

Back then, there wasn't ICE and the military destroying the place.

I agree. Sometimes the bias is in how they report the news; sometimes the bias is IF they report the news.

I went to their website and here's the mission statement:
Mission: Protect America through criminal investigations and enforcing immigration laws to preserve national security and public safety.

This sounds NOTHING like "going to Home Depot on a witch hunt for people of color" to me.

Perhaps I should have stated, d'Artagnan plainly sees what's going on, that the King is putting his own pleasure above the good of the people, but when given the choice at taking indirect or direct action, he chooses to stand with the monarchy.

D'Artagnan chooses his career over his friends. He has no personal life. He sacrifices the good of the nation in blind fealty to the King. In the end, he earns the marshal's baton. It has barely touched his hand when he is killed in action.

Dumas was making a point.

I'd always wondered why the last "book" of the series was split into three parts, and it was to fully demonstrate just how vile a person the King of France was at that point; how unworthy he was of d'Artagnan's loyalty.
