why do we care about her at all? She's a mid-level paper pusher in a state guard HQ whose dumber than bag of wet mice.

Feds asked New Mexico to halt Jeffrey Epstein Zorro Ranch sex trafficking probe, records show Former AG says feds halted New Mexico’s Epstein inquiry without sharing promised evidence as state reopens Zorro Ranch investigation.

Former New Mexico Attorney General Balderas details how the FBI forcefully shut down New Mexico's criminal probe into what was up at Epstein's Zorro Ranch in Santa Fe Co. The feds insisted that they were running their own criminal probe and that NM's involvement would not be tolerated. It was a lie.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

Translated into actual working English, the Trump admin intends to spend a fuckton of money and kill a lot of Iranians, but not actually accomplish anything.

Does she think the woman that described in detail Trump raping her at age 13 thinks it's a distraction?

I don't know any (US) American who would actually have a problem with Mexico as a country or government or a Mexican person saying Mexico is in North America. That's pretty much stating a fact.
Any (US) American who did have a problem with it isn't worth knowing.
And it is and ever shall be,

Corps Investigating Marine for Sending Boot Swastika Photo A reservist is under investigation for posting a picture that showed Marines positioning their boots in a swastika shape.

Hi. I know a LOT of "military stuff".
It's a fucking Nazi tattoo.
The Marines processed four Marines out of the service making a temporary sign by standing a certain way with their boots in a pattern.

We should not have sponsored two coups in your country.
You'll never hear an argument otherwise from me.

What are the full names or formal names of all three countries?
Canada == The Dominion of Canada
Mexico == Estados Unidos Mexicanos ( United States of Mexico), it is often called Republica Mexicana (Republic of Mexico
None of the Central American or South American countries have "America"

I think she's referring to the whole "if the offense is committed in time of war, by death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct" part.

on and on and on about other aspects of this, but MOST of them lead to a negative discharge (fired for cause), the majority of them can lead to Court-Martial, which can include a punitive discharge like a Bad Conduct Discharge, Dishonorable Discharge (Dismissal for Officers) and Confinement.

standard.
Most orders are presumed to be lawful as I stated above. "Board this conveyance to this location at this date and time, and then attack any legitimate target as specified by operational orders" would be facially lawful.
"Kill all the males over age 8 in this village" would not.

the Accused knowledge that the order was lawful.
Orders are presumed to be lawful unless they are "facially unlawful".
Refusing to obey an order that is unlawful is an affirmative defense that must be raised by the Accused at Court-Martial, and proven by the Accused to a 'preponderance of evidence'

amongst us are way smarter than me about this, but:
Art. 90. Willfully disobeying superior commissioned officer
Art. 92: Failure to Obey a Lawful Order Or Regulation
Both contain the requirement for servicemembers to obey lawful orders. The lawfulness of the order is an element of the crime, as is

Whether or not a Nation-state level action is a crime, such as 3rd Reich Germany's crime against humanity of Aggressive War, a soldier is still expected to obey their otherwise lawful orders.
We did not hold individual Wehrmacht troops responsible for the crimes of the German Government.

Given their demonstrated ability to protect sources, and their progressed higher ability and resolve to do so, I think the word 'failed' isn't as appropriate as other words.
She was telling them something Glenn didn't want to hear, and she's the only source they ever "accidentally" burned.

That's not correct. Donald Trump's older brother Fred Jr. (Mary Trump's dad) Served in the Army Reserve as an observation pilot in peacetime service. But he's the only one out of all of them.

It would be like saying that shooting those guys in boats is some kind of payback for losses in Iraq or Afghanistan.
The only appropriate answer either way is "What in the wide world of crazy bullshit are you on about?!?"

Service members and our families aren’t above critique, but many are still trying to make sense of the pain and loss over the last 25 years.

There are many legitimate issues to address in this war with Iran, but we are better served by doing so with dignity, empathy, and respect for each other.

β€˜I Have Agreed to Talk’ Trump tells The Atlantic that Iranian leaders want to resume negotiations.

On Saturday, Trump called on Iranians to overthrow their regime. On Sunday, he says he wants to talk to that very regime. Typical incoherence. His objective ping-pongs between change of regime and change of regime behavior. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

And the Berners and the Tankies are all in on him, which is totally fucking weird, and when he repeatedly does shit in office that offends them, they will... blame us.
Because personal responsibility isn't a thing with them.
