I don’t think she’s smart enough to know that she could look them up (much less that she should).

One of the very reliable markers for these folks is that they’re not nearly as smart and clever as they think they are.

And β€œsalacious remarks,” Pam?

Salacious: "Appealing to or stimulating sexual desire.”

Ummm.

Have they let people know precisely how dark someone’s skin has to be before skin color justifies a Kavanaugh Stop?

This seems like a very stupid negotiating tactic.

After they fire tens of thousands, fueling outrage (and unemployment…), who’s going to want to just fold and give the regime what they want?

It’s only different in *details* from how Russia is recruiting meat to send to Ukraine.

It’s how imperial states work; I can point all the way back to how Roman legions became increasingly drawn from non-Latin (and non-Italic) populations β€” people whose peoples were subjects of that empire.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them.

And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

So they haven’t caught the guy and you don’t have a ton of leads? Maybe sending all your federal law enforcement agents to help ICE and dismantling the JTTF and firing the head FBI field office for political reasons wasn’t the best idea.

I look forward to history rhyming and US forces evacuating from Chigon by helicopter.

A graphic image of the Statue of Liberty and the city of New York. The purple sky is filled with lightning as it streaks across the sky....

We urge Members of Congress to show mercy and compassion and take immediate steps to stop the mass round-ups, detentions, and deportations.

Follow the money.

Didn’t line the pockets of the big contractors.
And they are firmly entrenched in designing what the military says it wants. After they get specs to meet.
Not in imagining things that the military might want.
Should probably want.

As is traditional, planning to win the last war.
