It's almost as if the entire career of Henry Kissinger would make the current Presidential Administration think that there were no serious consequences for war crimes/ mass murders.

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

Are we really going to trust the Brits when it comes to Christmas?
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
British public’s verdict is in: Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
Survey also reveals Britons’ favourite festive film, views on tear-jerkers and family cinema trips
When Macaulay Culkin recently said he didn’t consider Die Hard to be a Christmas film – wading into one of pop culture’s most heated holiday debates – he was booed by a live audience.

TX Tech has a flow chat for guidance on what can be taught in the university system. Two things:
1. Very little content seems to be permitted. This is partisan control of the curriculum.
2. I would not enjoy teaching under these conditions, but I really would not want to be a Chair or Dean.

I don't even know what I'd do with this. Probably just phone in whatever they want while I spend the rest of my time looking for another job, or even another profession

I guess Admiral Bradley wants to be court martialed out of the service.
Reporter: Admiral Bradley was the one who gave that order for a second strike?
Leavitt: And he was well within his authority to do so.

Pete Hegseth responded to all this with the smirking, adolescent sadism of a schoolyard bully pulling the legs off of a spider. Now juxtapose this with the horror experienced by a source who saw the imagery of the men being blown apart in the water:

The strike was not conducted in self defense, including because the Secretary of State indicated the President had the option to interdict the vessel but instead decided to use lethal force.

When you accept a bad faith argument, you make yourself look like a sucker. That's a shame, but you need to own it, show remorse, repent, and repair. That's growth.
