"Israel complained privately after HUMINT it provided for the anti-Houthi airstrike was included in the Signal group chat among U.S. officials.}
Interesting that Trump has started two terms now by handing over Israeli-developed intelligence to people who shouldn’t have it … And that’s what he does to an alleged ally nation that he supposedly likes. Odd.
DOJ is not limited to crimes. It has all kinds of civil enforcement opportunities available to it too. And since they’re turning racial discrimination law on its head, anything that might disadvantage underqualified white people is now on the chopping block.
I keep thinking about how Rush Limbaugh used to rail about someone–probably Clinton as valuing “Symbol over Substance”. I found a recording of one of his radio broadcasts, which I will not link because…eewww… But the headline is “Symbolism over substance doesn’t work for Republican presidents” (May 12, 2014 if you have the stomach to listen to him). Anyway, consider how much this bunch values the way things look over the way things are or what might be constructive. It’s either symbol or actually designed to blow things up.
My very conservative brother once remarked to me, right after his son’s high school graduation, that “it’s much harder for white kids to get into college now.” It took all my strength not to scream at him.
I always had the impression that a lot of the objection to anti-discrimination laws was the imperative to maintain Jim-Crow affirmative action for the dumb white folks constituentuency.
And that will be the end of the NATO alliance. Trump tells you what he wants out front. He wants Greenland, “We’re gonna have to have it.” That said, he can be manipulated and influenced. Whatever cooler, pragmatic heads are present in his circle, will be the most likely thing that stops him.
When my family moved from Buffalo to the country and dug a 141 ft well, our collective teeth got much better. (I think Buffalo had fluoridated water at the time.) Nothing made Dad happy like all five kids visiting the dentist and having zero cavities.
