You mean like this thing they’re always trying to kill off?

I guess one can make the argument that we don’t need as big an air force as we did during the cold war. Less likely that we will need top of the line air superiority in multiple locations at once. It’s still a weird statement.

That skink Boehner was no better than Ryan, but by getting out when he did, he gets to be remembered as a statesman instead of a steward of the apocalypse.

Don’t forget that Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli who didn’t like the Oslo Accords. I am also still not convinced that Sharon’s stroke was a natural event — he had become pro-peace in his old age, and was poised to take a decisive electoral victory for his new centrist, pro-disengagement party.

A friend of mine was there for this incident:

You don’t like hotdogs and burgers and beer? Or the dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest?

Ryan is a weasel and I think they’ve kept Pence out of the loop on purpose.

Especially compared with Adam Schiff, his thoughtful, well spoken Democratic counterpart.

We’re ready. Preparations have been made and provisions are in place.

As soon as it came out that Flynn lied to him, I knew they were keeping him clean on purpose.

He was impeachable on day one. Having multiple impeachable offenses is not a requirement and the longer he stays in office the more damage he does. I think a lot of us were hoping he’d break Harrison’s record.

He won’t until he stops being useful to the GoP or they lose control of Congress.

It is terrifying that I have better qualifications to be Sec of Energy than this guy. Seriously: I have the same degree as the last two, and 8 years experience working for the agency. I wouldn’t trust me, but I sure as hell don’t trust him!

Fortunately, this guy is the one really in charge of the arsenal. Kinda surprised he hasn’t been dismissed without replacement yet.

Does it really surprise you that the son of a Trump supporting politician doesn’t have any artistic friends, or at least none who actually know what they’re doing?

I’d have thought my new boss would be in favor of the candidate with fewer votes winning.

The jobs at these plants pay less than getting one at Costco, and at least Costco you at least sorta are a part owner and get benefits.

Got one more gear for you...from Bloomberg

Wow... GM is 4th and Hyundai is 3rd? That’s nuts.

You don’t have to be a gov’t employee: lots of employees at defense contractors and security firms have clearance. During the cold war, lots of university professors, particularly physicists, had it so they could work on arms control. Technically almost none of the employees at DoE labs are gov’t employees (we’re all…
