I actually do want the next president to appoint someone like Stephen Miller, except I want it to be Bill Kristol, and I want his monomaniacal obsession to be destroying Trump’s legacy and prosecuting everyone in the administration.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

True tale: A Baltimore police colonel called a rival at 3 a.m. from a crime scene: "Leon, I got you now. You fucked up. You wrote "POLICE" backwards on the front of the EVU truck."
"Eddie, that's so it reads correctly in a rear view mirror."
Long pause.

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.

I see a lot of people on here saying we shouldn’t allow any kind of military intervention in Venezuela.
That seems fine and good for now. But what if that soft dovish take were to end in a mushroom cloud. What about the precautionary principle. Even if there were a 0.1% chance that Venezuela

They went Henry VI on the JAGs to make service members not know if the orders are lawful.
Just so we're clear. Bombing or starting a war with Venezuela without Congressional approval would be an illegal act. Military officers are within their rights to refuse such an order.
