At some point someone just needs to say “you are an indecent person, you are lying to cover the slaughter of defenseless men, you know you are lying, and even under the tenets of your own professed faith you will certainly burn in hell if you continue down this path”
WELKER: Isn't it possible that even the act of taking off a t shirt could've been part of an attempt to get attention for help?
TOM COTTON: Or it could've been an attempt to signal to another cartel boat to come pick them up and pick up the cargo

My FIL is a naval procurement officer. It is difficult to get his attention in meetings because he is lost in requirements traces. We were on a FFG-7 together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… 'We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.'"

There’s no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC — send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nation’s capital when he wants to.
WASHINGTON (AP) — South Carolina, Ohio also sending National Guard troops to DC in further escalation of federal intervention in Dem city.

i don’t think one can make any kind of accurate prediction on this because you can’t make an accurate prediction of what the general state of the country and the economy are going to be in six months
Thinking about the DC takeover in light of Jan. 6.
How will the next legally required transition of power go?

One of my favorite mental images is whoever runs the Chinese high altitude balloon program having to go brief Xi after the shoot down and then getting to the question of “so you caused a huge diplomatic incident, what did you collect?” and they just kinda awkwardly mumble “nothing”
OK, its not a question of whether the phone is compromised. If you are the spy chief of a major country's intelligence service and your people have not compromised this phone, you should resign and find some other line of work

If you believe John Bolton, this has effectively already occurred. Possibly for the correct reasons in this case, but very much a “stopped clock is right twice a day”

Gee, what can you say that you couldn’t say before? Be specific. I guarantee it’s not about tax cuts or regulations.

Imagine being a Russian diplomat trained for years to negotiate with the decadent West and when you’re like “uh… everyone in this region we ethnically cleansed and resettled voted to let us annex them,” the Trump guys the Americans sent just sort of nod wide-eyed at your flawless logic.
