Your point is well-taken.

But there is now one country where Davis (and those with him) wanted there to be two.

There is no legal slavery in any state.

They stopped shooting at us in ranks and files.

A through line is not the same thing as a country. The Confederacy was beaten. And will be again
And when JD Vance excuses it, it tells us more about him than it does about them.
I bet his mortgage is in perfect shape too (or he would have been indicted by now).
Who has influence over Trump?

Who was the last person to talk to him.

(And all the world leaders know this.)
Where is the $40 Billion coming from? I am hearing a lot about the amount, a lot about the destination, a lot about the timing, and nothing about where he's getting it. Isn't that just as important, or maybe more important, than those other things?
I hear The Comedy Channel agreed to sign it.

Hi, county chair of a Democratic Party here.

This is a sign of a weak party. I am in a county of 750k and we're lucky to get a few hundred dollars a month.

The DNC and state party shift costs and burdens to us.

Donate to your local party, not just candidates.
Meanwhile the Dem taking on Boebert in CO04
I bet Argentina's government employees will be paid this week.
Thank you, Quanta Magazine. Reading this now. I am so into this topic.

The math of even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major advances toward understanding it.

Also, he just summarized what this whole shutdown is really about.
You don't even have to do satire anymore.
We're going to see negative outcomes from this. The hardest hit will be the weakest and most innocent.

All for a political transaction.
Did they make an MST3K version of it? That would be easier to endure.
At least now we know what stand back and stand by means.
Biden yes, but with Blinken, and a team of hard-working civil servants at State.
Also, this demonstrates clearly that the DOGE catastrophe was only partly Elosh, and Trump really wants to see all these faithful public servants leading quite lives dedicate to the greater good to suffer.
Among other things, this episode demonstrates that Hegseth doesn't understand the true nature of power, especially how it is divided and counterbalanced as part of the natural order of things.
also Battlestar Galactica (reboot, the one with Mary McDonnell).
Some TV is high literature:

Star Trek
The West Wing
The Closer
Major Crimes

as examples.
