The Inglourious Basterds is like it has some of my blood and venom for nazis and fascists.
There might be something wrong with me.
I could carve a swastika into nazi foreheads or cave in nazi skulls without feeling conflicted.

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:
“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”
More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

1/ Collective punishment of tens of thousands of vetted Afghan partners won’t prevent radicalization. But it will guarantee fewer allies, more enemies, and higher risks for U.S. troops the next time we deploy.

The alleged shooting by an Afghan ‘partner’ shouldn’t condemn all who assisted the U.S. and now live here.

In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.
