Great work by NPR, true investigative journalism. They did the work.

It's not NPR's fault that this expose is also crazymaking by reminding us that Biden+Merrick Garland wasted four years, and that countless others covered this up for decades.

This is even stupider than it seems...

Huh, weird.

And yet, Democrats will find ways to lose.

And the drydock is in Alabama, so five layers of batshit 25th Amendment fuel.

This is four levels of dementia, pick your flavor. Starting with him thinking the governor of Louisiana has dick all to do with the deployment of a US navy vessel just because that is where a drydock is located.

They retreated to their artic fastness, aka Garnaut Global, to reassure INDOPACOM that a PRC invasion of Taiwan will absolutely happen next year.

GENERAL SIR RICHARD SHIRREFF: US is no longer our ally but a predator It may have sounded like a joke when in 2019 Trump raised the prospect of acquiring Greenland from the Kingdom of Denmark. But seven years on and the rubber has hit the road.

Former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato in Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff (& author of the novel ‚War with Russia’) in an op-ed in the 🇬🇧Mail yesterday:
“My message to European leaders is this: America is no longer our ally but a predator and a bully. Stick together and prepare for war.“

I want muh Mega thymus!!!

I'm free from the need to have opinions on latest developments, so I'd just note that the US op to seize Maduro and declare our sole interest is oil reinforces exactly how Beijing views to US. A reckless declining power breaking laws and norms to maintain primacy.

Chinese trials presume guilt and the task of the accused is to plead for leniency. Xu was carefully explaining that the order wasn't valid because it lacked the signatures of the CMC chair Deng or 1st Vice Chair, Zhao Ziyang. The Party was split by the crisis and paralyzed.

There's a lot of key context missing from this. Xu reportedly had a daughter among the protesters. His boss, Beijing MR commander Zhou Yibing was fired right after 3 June. Faction leaders of 38th army opposed army intervention. All were vindicated by 1992 14th party congress. 1/2

It's a cool flu, H3N2 Subclade K, and this season's flu shot apparently doesn't do well against.

"Some people actually can see what is going to happen before it all goes off the rails. It’s comforting to know that in this, one is not alone."

Exactly. I've probably watched TBS 20 times for this reason. Hits harder now.

Xi Jinping: "same, bro. Same."

He was careful to explain that he must enbiggen the moon because Venezuela stole our Cheese in addition to our oil, land, and precious bodily fluids.

Corgis were bred to drive cattle, in Wales. They have 2 layers of fur, guard hairs on top that are water repellant, and wooly stuff underneath that comes out in clumps in the spring. He hates hot weather.

Corgis love snow.

Counterpoint...

Sen. Warner drove this in a couple of days later. Good thing Trump is pre-surrendering to China on tech, Taiwan, human rights. Because in a war, we could be truly screwed.

Boston wasn't even a real band. It's the basement tapes of Tom Scholz, who then spent the next two decades suing everyone.

Watched the pilot, turned to SO (who would watch the entire series) and said "they're all dead" and went to play a video game.

David Sanger's NYT analysis of Trump's NSS, there's this nugget...

"...and there is barely a mention of the remarkably sophisticated, extensive cyber attacks that have burrowed deeply into American telecommunications and utility systems and stayed there, despite years of efforts to oust them."

They looked at you that way because that would make them read what the AI already proofed.

They compete to be dumber, meaner, and shittier than each other.

Per Wikipedia, Megyn has a 14 year old daughter. Someone should ask if she considers her daughter "good to go" for "dating" 50+ year old men.

Beyond the sheer idiocy, I sincerely hope these frauds get the deflationary spiral they want.

You mean this butyric acid?

"It is responsible for the pungent smell of rancid butter and body odor, as well as the strong odor associated with vomit."

You lucked out. "Whole Word" was all the rage in the 1990s. Our eldest struggled with reading/spelling so my wife--a future elementary teacher--taught her phonics. I'm shocked this thoroughly debunked BS is still in use. Well, not shocked since education is a fad-driven as MBA programs.

There was performative BS spouted by Presidents Clinton, Bush, because US business wanted it. Almost nobody seriously studying the CCP believed this, especially after Tiananmen. There are still a few who are very disappointed the CCP didn't Gorbachev themselves.
