The greatest evidence for the existence of a benevolent deity is that Abraham Lincoln once walked the Earth and he wielded the terrible, swift sword of the Republic on our behalf.

HOI4 achievement when you convert all your military factories to civilian:

It’s an entirely pro-US work, he just falls into mysticism from time to time

The US forces were always healthier and ready for action not just because of superior logistics, they had a greater concentration of urban recruits and - accordingly - their collective resistance to communicable disease was superior to the slaver forces.

But let’s just cite magic and move on.

Bonkers assertions.

I love this style of analysis.

Let’s start with some basic truths, we’ll address the question of honor, then we’ll call one side supernatural “woodsmen”, after that we’ll skip through 4 years of logistics by calling the Americans plump fatties, and then the northerners are also undead.

These comments have a Spector of desperation about them

Waylon no

It’s not a bad living. Making up for a lost decade.

Staying at this hotel gives you a 30% chance of being incepted.

This looks like the great midwestern cities

Beautiful downtown Denver, Japan

The Rwandan military and its proxy M23, is so weird. Polish GROT rifles, Chinese SHORAD systems, ancient T-54s, Israeli Tavor rifles, Russian Mi-35M helicopters. Really a dog's dinner of gear.

But they are excellent at dumping it into the Congo and making more refugees.

There is a very specific kind of idiot I’m mocking, they think CAA is a talent agency in Hollywood

Defense Tech evangelist:

“James, come on. My 6 day visit to Ukraine was the most revealing experience in the history of war. I’m going to scale and innovate because I understand how the character of war has changed. Want to get drinks at The Ned? I know a guy. Also, Iraq fought the US, not Iran.”

Neuromancer has a nice bit about this where a psychotic illusionist uses another character’s imagined image for a show; it’s played both as a horrid violation and as pathetic

I read the best economics commentator the American hard left has ever produced, Catherine Rampell

They think killing Maduro will keep the complaints manageable

Brutal, I’m sorry

Direct attack on civic virtue - I despise everyone else involved and the perpetrators can never be forgiven.

They take it to their graves.

Churches shouldn’t host their funerals.

Kids shouldn’t visit for the holidays.

Yes, JVL. Yes.

The Bulwark is good and you should subscribe to it.

Lot of those Qs in Japan these week.

I didn’t try to reassure anyone.

Turning premeditated murder at sea into memes while pulling people out of line at their naturalization ceremony.

What a sorrowful country.

Country can’t survive if half of its citizens abandon rule of law and the entire idea of shame

They worship military / paramilitary violence and its downstream from that

Tom Cotton does nothing have a cognitive shortcoming, he’s a militarist authoritarian

It’s not a dumb comment, it’s a comment filled with principle. It’s an absolutely vital comment.

Sen. Cotton means every word and any commentator blowing off the seriousness should find a new line of work.

Tommy and his fellow podcasters ran the NSC from 2009-11, he should know better.
