I obviously expect to be disappointed but Republicans do seem to treat the Fed a bit differently from other government agencies. See, e.g., Roberts's "the president can fire anyone, there is no such thing as an independent agency, except of course the Fed for no discernible reason"

Trust me, I'm not calling because I *want* to talk to a human. I'm calling because I have to.

That was just Big Paper Towel trying to trick you

I said "practical" responsibility for a reason. Not moral, "legal" (there is no legal responsibility), or strategic.

Being coded as the loser does not mean you are in a "quagmire". Or is Vietnam still an ongoing quagmire for us? Is that really how most people would understand that word?

Lmfao

what do you mean I won't get the opportunity to get my passport ready and leave my life behind before I get Chotted

Eh, every article I've read on this subject feels like it was ghost written by an industry group. Adaptive headlights might be good, idk, but I don't see why they can't just make the lights dimmer if, for some reason, there are regulatory hurdles

It's so obviously absurd that they choose not to mention it at all. Because if they argued what they really think, which is that (e.g.) someone with the upper body strength of a man should be wrestling against women, it would give the game away

If they cared about fairness in women's sports, there should be no disagreement about where trans men should land, because having trans men compete against women is genuinely unfair for everyone involved. And yet, they don't seem to take that view for some reason.

In retrospect, the name he chose was apt

Obviously you can define words however you want, but we don't have any troops in Libya. No American soldiers in Libya are being shot at attempting to prop up their unstable government.

Just because we helped overthrow their government doesn't mean that we have any practical responsibility for it.

What is the attempted dunk here? There's a difference between sending in some SEALs to take out AD assets or whatever and what we did in Iraq.

At this point we haven't built up the kinds of forces needed to actually invade Venezuela. If that changes I'll change my tune I guess. But as it stands, the forces that we've moved into the region can only do bombing campaigns and some SOF stuff
