For the record I’m neither a bleeding heart liberal or a card carrying Nazi. I’m of a dying breed of independents who vote for people instead of parties. I’ve tended to vote for more liberals of late because of the Nazification of the right.

Sooooo Medicare for All?

Sooooo Medicare for All?
First: what he refers to as an option are generally plans offered by religious organizations. Secondly: I don’t think they know how much that this kind of talk simply makes Medicare for all more attractive to the average person. It’s something that virtually every other country in the world has.
Chip Roy: "We need to give freedom options for the average hardworking American family so you can afford a catastrophic plan, go get health sharing, be able to have something that you can be able to go to the doctor of your choice rather than enriching insurance companies."

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—
Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—
I’d like to hear Holsey’s testimony too

Putin says Europeans sabotaged peace talks and are on the side of war.
BS. Putin can stop fighting any time he wants. He deserves no concessions for attacking a neighboring country without provocation.
Stop fighting. Go home, Putin. Then the war would be over. 🙄

A history prof I read here said that war is politics conducted in another way, and an extension of policy. He's quoting Clausewitz and he's not wrong; it's embedded in the US military.
But I think he, Clausewitz and the Us are all wrong. War is the expression of fear, greed and the lust for power

Yes, I absolutely want #Hegseth prosecuted for a war crimes BUT as a veteran I am offended by those who are willing to let Admiral Bradley off the hook for "being pressured" or "following orders." If ordinary military members must stand firm against illegal orders so must he. War criminals must pay.

If the president can magically claim that drug runners are “narco-terrorists” to justify killing them, what’s to stop him from declaring democratic lawmakers as “political terrorists” or legally protesting American citizens as “agitator terrorists” to justify their murders?
