“The US almost went to nuclear war with the Soviet Union on November 7, 1983 during a royal fuck-up known as Able Archer. ... You might notice that Able Archer happened in between the time that Reagan screened The Day After at Camp David on October 10, 1983 and the time that it aired on November 20, 1983. One hell of…

“proof that individuals inside TrumPutin’s administration corroborated with Russian intelligence during the elections.”
Dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles, the press says. Seems odd to target a single base with “dozens” of these expensive ($1.5 million each) weapons when a handful at one base would have made the same point, and a bunch across a lot of bases would have made a more effective point. Not that I’m endorsing what is almost…
There are witch hunts and loyalty tests going on now, and they’re all within the Trump administration. They’re the ones setting up political officers to watch over their appointees, compiling lists of climate scientists, and seeking out devious leakers and deep-state Obama moles.
The process of developing technology to boost human productivity (get more done with less labor) is older than the wheel.

Americans selected someone who told them that he had no experience flying a plane. Before he even boarded the flight, Trump boasted that he was going to reject the protocol of every…
One of the lovely things about Republicans is they only care about fiscal responsibility when they’re tightening other people’s belts.
I’m calling him President Mitläufer from here on out. That’s the term used in Germany after WWII for “fellow travelers”—people who weren’t committed Nazis but accommodated and supported them nevertheless. And that’s being charitable.

Democrats believe in shared public resources — public schools, public health, public roads. Republicans do not — private schools, private insurance, private toll roads. The GOP is the party of wealth, and the more wealth you have, the less you want to share.
OMG. I thought the transcript was a joke, but then I clicked on the video link. OMG.
he believes criminal laws should be clear and interpreted in favor of defendants even if that hurts government prosecutions (like Scalia)
1. The clause clearly says that the president needs permission from Congress to be a profiteer. Congress is unlikely to deny him this permission unless he waits until he’s really pissed them off.
