This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

If Pete Kegsbreath follows through with his threat to court martial hero astronaut, former naval officer, and current U.S. Senator, he will further tarnish and diminish the Pentagon, and ensure a LANDSLIDE midterm victory for Democrats.

Conducting a live fire exercise over a civilian highway is fucking stupid.
It doesn’t really matter if I-5 fell within the minimum acceptable risk threshold for the exercise. Those standards are designed for controlled environments, not civilian highways.
