Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. He saw D.O. in the memorandum and went off. Now that he has been called out, he's frantically googling for cherry-picked quotes

The Mayo Clinic says you're full of shit.

Peter M. Sullivan @citizensullivan.bsky.social · 18h

Do you know what a D.O. is? No, you don't. Get back to us when you know what you are talking about.

Wrong. D.O. is Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. They have the same accreditation and status as MDs.

The Democrats had two better candidates, but the populeftists insisted that Fetterman was a True Progressive and Conor Lamb and Malcolm Kenyatta were Neosomething Corporatist Shitlib Shills or whatever

That would screw up their attempt to give us Hobo Shrek 2: Bangor Boogaloo.

But Britain, France, and Australia have long been nations with an international military footprint. Qatar?

Peter M. Sullivan @citizensullivan.bsky.social · 1d

Foreign militaries regularly have a modest presence at stateside posts. When I was at Fort Sill, there were French and British liaison offices, one of the fire support planning instructors was an Australian sergeant major, and I had Ukrainian, Lebanese, and Jordanian students in my battery.

Peter M. Sullivan @citizensullivan.bsky.social · 1d

This beckons a question:

WHY?!?!?

Why does Qatar need an air force facility in Idaho?

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 1d

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

A night of songs and stories with @jasonnarducy.bsky.social at Q Division Studios in Cambridge. Great mix of Split Single, Verboten, and Superchunk songs, along with Kinks and REM (of course!) covers.

Yes, and she is more likely to vote like a Democrat. Your boy Graham would be a MAGA-curious "populist" pain in the ass, like Fetterman.

A former mercenary with no track record of getting anything done. He'll be a MAGA-curious pain in the ass like Fetterman.

I was one of those snotty "country sucks" dudes as a teenager, but then I saw Lone Justice open for U2, saw Foster & Lloyd on TV, and heard Steve Earle on both the local country AND alternative stations, and I realized what I was missing.

Peter M. Sullivan @citizensullivan.bsky.social · 1d

We went through this with Fetterman and Gabbard, and you didn't learn a damn thing.

MAGA chuds and the Cosplay Che crew are both mad about the Nobel Peace Prize, which means the committee probably got it right.
