Oh, I assure you they will -tolerate- it just fine. One hopes however that people will have enough sense, once the cost gets high enough, not to believe the lies about that cost. But it might be quite high indeed.

I am frequently on the post that the renaming commission missed: Belvoir. Not named for a Confederate, but, renamed (after bearing the name of a Union general and thus incensing a white supremacist Virginia Senator) for the plantation that once stood there.

I really used to enjoy listening to you and Lena Sun tag team on WAMU in the early pandemic days, with you handling the virology and her the medical practice issues, and it has really saddened me how hot and cold she has since blown: she was quite optimistic about the choice of Makary.

Yeah, I am not wowed by Judge Xinis' freeing the poor guy: at the very least given the over-the-top lies about the danger he presents to the community, there needs to be some kind of mandated protection for him and his family against loonies

No man I am a bit older than the dude and I don't always agree with him but he was pretty much always for it and I recall him mocking Bush for endorsing an anti-gay-marriage Constitutional amendment. Nothing secret about it at all.

So like to just add on, I hate that when you go to the aquarium you have to wait forever sometimes to be able to look into the tank because a million assholes are holding up their phones taking video. Like, look into the tank with your actual eyes! There are better videos online of mantis shrimp!

Quick answer, which service probably hires more people -- what the Governor might be worried about? -- in Maryland? Like, Fort Detrick is still by far the biggest employer in Frederick County!

Happy to get rid of both West Point and Annapolis, thus both raising the average competence of military officers and making the Maryland issue unambiguous

Gonna say Meade, Detrick (and stuff under Detrick's IMCOM like APG and WRNMMC) are much bigger than ... What? Patuxent River? Plus Annapolis?

It rankles that some of the places that are noted as OKish for LGBTQ travelers are much less so for natives and residents and, that really should be in the traveler's calculus.

There will have to be reparations of _some_ kind for an awful lot of immigrants who have been brutalized. At the _very least_ some monetary reparations and a fast track to naturalization if they still want it.

There are absolutely reasonable concerns that people close to power, including the Bidens, derive unfair privileges from that relationship and seek to monetize it. Trump and his party, however, made charges far beyond that, and those charges were roundly discredited as foolish and dishonest.
