I don’t think Kamala Harris would’ve deployed a legion of tacticool sociopaths to Minnesota so they could run around killing lesbian mothers and tear gassing elementary schools at random

Every once in a while I see people asking why Fiddler on the Roof is such a popular musical for Catholic schools to perform and the answer is because it's modest.
That it allows the kids who can sing but have bodies like middle aged men and women to have leading roles for once is a side benefit.

Maybe Frey is fine with this, not opening that can of worms, but the larger point is he could give a direct order for MPD to do the exact opposite and not only would the end result be the same, he'd be powerless to do anything about it because of how we've structured local govt-PD relations

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

The Minneapolis Police Department has declared tonight’s protest outside a downtown hotel an unlawful assembly, calling it a public nuisance, and ordered the crowd to disperse. bit.ly/3Yu1KW3

Todd grew in mass to compensate for the loss of the other white supremacists Walt took out. Similar dynamics may be observed in real life: racists often only feel the need to work out in organized groups.

Over twenty years ago while playing Soul Calibur 2 on the Nintendo Gamecube I deliberately looked up Sophitia’s skirt. Please forgive me for what I’ve done.
Have committed no sins since then as far as I can recall.

*reads post* haha yeah pretty much. The internal war at State in 1949-1950 is a miniature of the great failure of American postwar policy in thinking that the overwhelming threat we faced was simply another Munich & another France.

But in retrospect, the original memo was written in July, by the time the decision to cross the 38th parallel was made on September 11, Butler and the PPS had largely been sidelined. As the historian Melvyn Leffler would observe, “the taste of victory was irresistible.”

30 years later Omar Bradley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time stated, "In retrospect, this paper is full of good sense." He would also blame States leadership for not doing more and undercutting the recommendations of their own policy analysts

There is no evidence that Truman or MacArthur ever read the memorandum. Truman never left any record as to if he had any personal doubts about crossing the 38th parallel. MacArthur on the other hand insisted even up until 300,000 Chinese troops were inside Korea that China would not intervene.

To this day, It’s still not entirely clear how widely the memo circulated. It was originally intended for the American UN delegation, General MacArthur, and some members of the NSC, but my research also found that the JCS and key staff received the memo as well…

On July 22, 1950 a little known FSO on the State Department policy planning staff named George Butler wrote a 24 point memo almost describing verbatim every inflection point in the Korean War in the coming months. So why did his insights have so little influence over policy? My first piece of 2026⬇️

i think probably three most fraught moments in the next 12 months are (in no particular order): (1) notional invocation of the insurrection act (2) certification of the election (3) seating of the 120th Congress

Not just terrain, but the extent to you really have no idea of what's happening at a given time.
I'll talk to friends who are well-read, and they'll express complete bafflement when I try to explain to them that people firing in a general direction of where they took contact is a normal thing.

I mean I have had arguments with people on here who have no understanding of how terrain works...and I've had arguments with USARPAC, who have no understanding of how terrain works.

I'm not super sure how you can. There's basic aspects of the military that don't translate well unless you experience them for yourself like how difficult it actually is to move X brigade to Y position or "how do I return fire at an adversary I can't see who is 1.5 miles away from me"
