So all warfare can be justified as βdefensiveβ if the other side possesses a military with weapons.
Got it.
Just a reminder: CBS News may be tanking, but as long as Bari Weis still heads up that disaster we need to avoid that network like the plague.
Watch Colbert. Turn everything else off.

No mail in ballots because...China?
No drop boxes because...Iran?
No electronic voting because...Venezuela?
No voting because...Trump might lose.

Pointless killing so a weak man can feel stronger for a few days.
All because Trump tore up the US-Iran nuclear arms control agreement because a Black president had signed it into law.

Every new deposition is just anther opportunity for everyone to reexamine Trump's ties to Epstein and Trump's own record of sexual assault.
Comer's incompetence is weirdly helping Democrats.
Comer is totally lost. He's trying to steer everything away from Trump but between his incompetence and the continuing trickle of information implicating Trump that's not going to happen. He'd be better off shutting down his committee.
