There is of course no shame in pulling out/reducing troops anywhere, who would want another Vietnam? On the other hand:
Leaving Syria would mean that ISIS gets a breath but mainly that the killer and Russian puppet Assad has free reign over the country, just as Putin wants it. Every opposition movement, every…

Man, infrastructure week is off to a weird start.

*subscribes*

Should have subcontracted Soros to hire a decent fucking crowd.

So, let’s be generous to Mr. Marshall and say that DHS has been saying this. And let’s assume that it have been only since he assumed office on January 3, 2017. That is roughly 709 days. Let’s exclude domestic terrorist and the possibility of terrorist coming otherways. So, that is 10 terrorist a day for 709 days or 7,…

Yes, Jews. And to be clear I say this as an avowed leftist. I am not someone from the center trying to pull a “both sides” kind of thing.

I’m not sure I believe your assessment that you do. Let’s try a little quiz: if I predict that something only has a 29% chance of happening, and then it happens, was I wrong? 

Well, let’s trace some of this back. Again we see the effects of capitalism on our discourse.

Just one more event that drew more people than his inauguration.

I think he’s saying the opposite of what you think. He’s saying the GOP can’t survive only as a white nationalist party, and needs to fundamentally change certain policies and beliefs to be relevant in the future. At least I think he's saying that.

+1 get in the hole

Luckily bad voting decisions driven by horrible reasoning are relatively rare.

Libertarians are actually a lot more sensible...
