No no no. Come to WI and this white boy will prove you wrong.

Ok. The mac is killing me.
The proper WI way to serve mac and cheese is when you can barely make out the pasta in a lake of melty cheese. Serve with an entire box of lactaid.
The picture looks like buttered noodles. Fail.

I'm thinking MILLER is hell bent on going after Kelly, because it will show that if they can get Kelly, they can get anyone.

You mean like taxing merchants via tariffs and then writing checks to citizens? Or public ownership of major corporations? That's socialism y'all.
Oh, and nationalism + totalitarianism + socialism = Nazism. By textbook definition.
Maybe, you know, don't be a Nazi? Can I get an amen?

Kelly is clearly in the right, but with JAG gutted by Hegseth and POTUS able to charge him himself, there's a chance that law might get ignored.
If the admin can pull off a court martial, that's the end game for totalitarian control of the military.

Also true. And generals / admirals with the integrity to refuse illegal orders are being pushed out

You can. They're trained to make that decision.
Are we at war? No.
Are you under attack? No.
Were you just ordered to fire? Yes.
Illegal. Stand down.

Not just appropriate. Necessary. For example, committing an act of war vs. Venezuela w/o a declaration of war from Congress? Illegal. Not to mention whatever shenanigans they plan for 26 election "monitoring".

What this is really all about is the Christian white nationalist panic about becoming a minority. They will push any agenda for the sake of more white babies and fewer brown people in the country making their own babies.

Every year in Wisconsin, at the end of November, the equivalent of the 8th largest standing army in the world goes hunting for deer. I woke up yesterday to the sounds of gunfire all around me.

Macro economic indicators are pretty good right now, just like they were under Biden. But now more than ever, micro econ is completely dissociated from macro. Hardly anyone is taking that rift seriously.

She's burned her free pass (pardon) to commit federal crimes like insider trading and accepting bribes. So she needs to make herself invisible before she goes to jail. I bet she takes her millions and leaves the country.

It concerns me deeply how much of JAG has been gutted and corrupted already. Armed service can't function without unshakable trust in the people around you. Especially command.
