Has no one mentioned the TIE fighter behind her? Seems like this would be a great splice to iO9.

Precisely. The strategic/military considerations are what they are—you aren’t going to be able to stop China from building and reinforcing those bases in the South China Sea unless you are willing to blockade them, which is a colossally stupid idea for all the of the reasons set forth in the article.

So, how do you…

Isn’t that what Hillary was supposed to be doing during the Benghazi raid?

“because of our serious concerns as to whether Mr. Puzder would be able or willing to serve as a conscientious steward of the statutes that the Department is charged with enforcing and the precious rights that the Department is responsible for protecting.”

To the GOP, this is not a bug. It is a feature.  

Ha ha Turd Pro.

What about people who ask about wearing things ironically, ironically?

They should have gone with Bodacious.

Same.

Well played.

I am among the farthest people from “Christian” you will find, but this guy isn’t. And he has some thoughts. Perhaps he was more moral suasion amongst the believers than fucking Donald Trump? Or perhaps not, because the world is bad and awful.

Good morning, Vladimir Vladimorivich! How is the weather in Moscow today?

Tell you what. Let’s meet back here in 4 years. If Russia has taken no steps to (militarily) undermine a NATO country by then, I’ll buy you a bottle of Russian Standard.

I reject your premise about Russia having no interest in Poland. I think they would love to take some or all of Poland, or at least have it become…

Tough but fair.

I am so sad they never made this movie.

This isn’t that much different than the last gen CTS-V, though. Which always seemed excessive to me, frankly.

All of his maps to date have been provided by Putin, so they don’t actually show Ukraine.

What was the objective/goal of invading Ukraine? Or Georgia?

The message, though, isn’t about Poland alone. It’s about all of NATO, including the Baltics.

But we’ll see how serious the new Administration is on this point. Their silence about the renewed fighting in Ukraine has been deafening.

Yes! Health care is a cost. Why wouldn’t private industry be in favor of socializing it??

You’re absolutely right about this. Perhaps it is too much to expect any man to turn down this opportunity, but if it were me, I would hope I would be able to say—publicly—that if nominated I would not serve until Garland received a hearing.

Donald Trump just Columbused Frederick Douglass.
