100% of the time you hear a Republican talk about “culture,” they mean it in the exact same way Lee Atwater meant “states’ rights.”

I’d wager he lobbied Biden for a Cuellar pardon last year.

I had a sweet potato pie from Little Pie Co. of the Big Apple last year and I don’t even pretend to want pumpkin pie anymore.

Now, have you ever had a navy bean pie? Because that’s something you’ve gotta try if you ever have the chance.

Here’s what I think is the operative MOU between Justice and Defense on the question of who would prosecute. My initial read is that DOJ would defer to DOD but given the impracticability of a court martial maybe it would be referred out? www.justice.gov/archives/jm/...

The thing is, what’s he got to be scared of? Hegseth won’t demote, Trump can pardon, I can’t see Bondi’s DOJ bringing a case (assuming they have jurisdiction), and I can’t fathom how to court martial a 4-star as a practical matter (or any possibility of conviction from any panel they could convene).

I bought one of these for about $6 for this over 20 years ago, and it’s the first thing I grab whenever I’m assembling a new tool kit for someone or stuffing my tool bag for a project.
