Let's spend some time on why the media allowed the White Men to lie in the face of Vice President Kamala Harris?

I read the whole article and found it very worthwhile.

I absolutely feel your pain.

There are countries on this list that have serious social discord manifest in everyday life that rate better than the US.

More good stuff at Democracy Americana.

The same people who say Kamala Harris was a bad candidate. I wonder what the common denominator is?

A great episode!

"Tell me how this ends."

He doesn’t even understand the slang.

Thanks - my error.

He’s a junior officer with opinions. I am more qualified to be SECDEf and I am not qualified.

IIRC Infantry Officer Basic and Airborne are the only schools he attended. Tours in Iraq and Afghanistan but nothing particularly substantive.

Ain’t that the truth.

SECDEF is a psychopath.

Americans think our bilateral relationship with Iran started 4 November 1979 and we have never been able to move past it.

Congratulations and well argued.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the "Department of War" is no more a thing than the "Gulf of America."

The idea Vice President Harris was a terrible candidate is objectively bonkers.

The ADA and laws against unlawful augmentation of the budget have long been ignored by these crooks.

Absolutely this. There is no β€œDepartment of War” in the USG. It’s a bunch of turds using what they thinks sounds tough. It also misrepresents the history.

Cancelling ID's is Fascist level stuff.

I'd ask if he could get any dumber, but I know the answer.

He was a big help to my wife and I when we were assigned to Fort Huachuca. We were devastated by what happened.

I have paid a not insignificant amount for a publisicst. You can find a radio hit today in my feed.
