Following instantly. Loving nature is becoming more and more frowned upon in the US (from my perspective) so I really appreciate your post.

Some in France may want to argue with you on this point.

Then We, the People need to grow up, be worthy of democracy, and hold them accountable. This waiting on someone else to do our heavy lifting for us is literally how we got here.

He's late to the dance tho so the correctness has an asterisk.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

I know Senators filibustered the arming of US ships during US "neutrality" in WWI, but I can't think of an exact War Dec filibuster.

If Congressional vigorous oversight is like what it has been, Pete has little to worry about.

Tip of the hat to you and thanks for all you do. 🎩

I'm not a coffee drinker but I consume lots of tea. Your SS&SP is one of my morning mood setters, brain cleansers, turn-my-frown-upside-down tools. I've read the entire text and still refer back to it. Your good soul energy is contagious. Thank you 🕯️

It's like violating the Sussex Pledge--what finally got us to officially enter WWI and not just aid sides while "neutral."
We are currently operating as a belligerent, and a war declaration/operation isn't required for that label.
