    When I first read this years ago it blew me away... 

     

     

    I share your concerns for all people needing dignity and respect. The Jewish people and the Jewish diaspora is a unique story and their resilience is special in history, and is special now. They have contributed to Europe an advanced level of culture and scientific advancement 

     

    I don't think any of that is mutually exclusive with nationalism or sovereignty for western civilization/ nations

     

     

     

     

    I wonder what the leading members of the (((Frankfurt School))) had in common.

    Isn't that how they do it?

  2. He was granted asylum. From what I've seen, that happened in about April, under the Trump administration.

    Before being granted asylum, the law requires a security investigation. With an Aghani, that's not going to be perfunctory, like simply running fingerprints. So someone in the Trump administration, in Kristi Noem's DHS, certified that the background checks were complete and the case was ready to proceed to a grant of asylum.

    Fact.

    In the last 20 years, Bears have been to one SuperBowl, conference championship, and a few playoffs.

     

    Our 17 years was way worse.

     

    This is the 40th Anniversary of their SBXX win... 

     

    Bills desert 🏜 worse.  Way worse.

    Yeah, but no one - not even the Browns or the Jets, and certainly not the Bills - suffered through a QB hell like the Bears.

    God I so agree with this.  They had 24 draft picks in just 23 and 24.   If you go to the link, and look under the G column for games, these picks have played a lot of games.   Ive been preaching for a while, this team needs to get younger and cheaper.  Thats what guys on rookie deals give you.

    Exactly. Stafford was the keeper, everyone else was disposable. 
    substitute “Allen” for Stafford and you have the model.

    The problem is that in trying to highlight a Trump failure, Amy, once a democrat candidate for president, unwittingly highlighted years of Biden-led failure. No need to stop pointing out the oblivious nature of her post. 

    Unwittingly highlighted years of government loose money failure, which continues unabated, encouraged by Trump's bullying of Jerome Powell.

  6. All of these various influences (Calvinism, the Iroquois confederation, etc, etc) can be found in the thinking of the founding fathers. Everyone sees a little of what they want to see. Liberal bleeding hearts see respect for native American governance; religious righties see hardcore protestantism.

     

    But the one giant who towers above all others combined? Montesquieu.

    Is anyone else thinking this is just a silly exercise?

    No illegal orders have been directed.

    Nobody needs to tell military personnel that are are not to abide by illegal orders.

    They know that, certainly at the commissioned officer level, where such things would originate.

     

    Looks to me like an attempt to orchestrate a completely political exercise for publicity.

     

    On to the next crisis.

    Yes, it's a political exercise.

    And of course El Presidente has just insured that it will work as intended through his comic overreaction.

    I never suggested in any way that Kelly did anything wrong

    When someone does something illegal, let me know.

    So far nothing.

    I certainly knew the rules, and didn't need a reminder.

    Well, the bombings of the "drug smugglers" in the Gulf and Pacific are of very questionable legality. I'd say illegal unless I see a better justification than what Trump has given.

    The DOD lawyers have apparently written a memo (not released to the public) providing this justification (which is quite different from Trump's public one):

    - Drug smuggling activity funds the Mexican/international cartels, which in turn have been characterized as international terrorist organizations; hence, the bombings are aimed at international terrorism. It's a very, very shaky theory that's never been tested in anyone's courts.

    Trump's justification is just flat-out not a justification at all.
