Any Democrat who "trusts" notoriously deceitful Republicans to keep their word on an ACA vote deal is too naive/stupid to be in office.

NEW: The National Guard analyzed its mission and found it is perceived as "leveraging fear, driving a wedge between civilians and the military, and promoting a sense of shame among troops and the military." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ veterans’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence
Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

THE QUESTION
“Will I ever be healthy again?”
Her face—plaintive, but bracing.
In the silence that followed,
galaxies bloomed and fell to seed.
I dropped the word gently,
cushioned in a nest
of my own astonishment:
“No.”

THE LIE
People who tell you this is beautiful
are lying.
It is pain-driven moans,
blood on the carpet,
piss in the bed,
desiccated lips,
eyes full of fear,
and grief before grief.
We are kinder to dogs.
