Republicans call that "private sector innovation". By refusing to obsess over those protocols regarding bacteria they're able to cut their maintenance costs and maximize profitability, and because most consumers don't even know the company exists, chances of lawsuits are minimal.

Anyone who noticed that the language of this article is quite simple compared to professor Merceica's other works should realize that is not an error on her part. She appears to understand the literacy problem of information warfare very clearly and is attempting to use the simplest terms possible.

Professor Mercieca mentions that the conspiracy theory gives the believer a sense of control. That's because conspiracy theorists are great at doing something that academics tend to be very bad at: explaining things at a level that a person with a fourth grade reading level can comprehend.

If you don't know anyone who is in the military and want to get a better idea of how vets think try checking out this guy's account. He's hilarious, and his jokes will give you some perspective into veteran thinking.

I hope you're still working on your book on political radicalization and information warfare. I'm still working on mine but it's taking forever. This topic is like attacking the hydra.

I think it's far more likely that such an order would result in the generals deciding "that's enough" and escorting Trump and his minions out of the White House.

Given that the UCMJ requires soldiers not to follow an illegal order, I strongly doubt that Trump would have the support, especially after he's sought to cut housing and health benefits for troops...

sell him weapons. We don't know if it will be Prince, or some other military contractor at this point. The ties to American universities and Palestine are key to Trump's goals. He wants to bring back his Muslim ban and turn public opinion against academics.

best shot at winning conservative super-majorities in the 2026 mid-terms. The how would read like a draft script of an episode of the show "Blacklist"...someone like Erik Prince would identify a Palestinian Youth who is studying in the US and who has ties to the progressive movement, then offer to

irate ham-fisted response to a terrorist attack is "protecting America from attacks", and they will readily ignore that it was Trump's appointment of lunatics and fools to key intelligence positions, and his gutting of federal agencies that provoked the attack. Right now a terror attack is the GOP's

Trump's handlers want a terrorist attack on the United States because anxiety over prevailing threats prompts a loss of tolerance for social ambiguity and a tendency towards conservative thinking. The media's already in the bag for Trump and will readily go along with the narrative that Trump's...

from the courts, then anyone who is harmed by Trump's un-Constitutional actions has standing to sue him in Federal Court. Trump cannot pardon himself, or dismiss a civil action, nor can he claim Presidential immunity. He is liable because an un-Constitutional action is outside his realm of duties.

No buts, throw it in their face and if Trump takes it all the way to SCOTUS and they want to rule in Trump's favor they have to tie themselves in knots and make themselves look ridiculous in order to do so.
