If the Chinese do that, we'll just bust out the element 115 and really break their minds.

I think there are a lot of people who have fascism, among other derogatory terms - like racist! -, living under their beds.
These types of people couldn't name five hallmarks that define fascism, especially considering that political historians would have, and do, a difficult time agreeing on five.
As for Chinese researchers announcing something, I lean towards thinking about that with some skepticism. If it's true, then it's up to the rest of the world to figure out how to counter it.

Well, you're not a politician.
What Pennsylvania is doing is a nice portrayal of DEI. This is how it's done. People tend to think that DEI is always about what people look like, sexuality, or gender. It's not. It's about giving to somebody something that was unearned in order for them to win. In a nutshell.
posted by majorsparkI just have a sense the Washington establishment does not like this guy. Its not because they think he is a warmonger. Its because they have doubts he can be controlled. Either because they think he may be is a "yes man" or they think he is a principled man in a way they don't like. Just my sense when I see this spray of across the spectrum boogieman labels.
Boogie is even throwing it out there the dude might be a KJV only guy.
Thanks for clarifying, I just wanted to understand.
I believe Israel has the right to exist. I get that people don't like the reasons it was established or how. But those same people would have Neuro death spasms if they thought about how every country was established. It is what it is.
posted by majorsparkSo Hegseth has no management experience, a "yes man", warmonger, Christian Nationalist, and also a Zionist. I am starting to like this guy.
I personally am not bothered by somebody being a nationalist or a Zionist or Christian.
But what is it, in particular, that makes warmongering an attractive feature for you?

They are still insisting on counting illegal votes in a bid to win a Democrat Senate seat.
Apparently a teacher in Marion county has been charged with felonious assault after slapping a special needs child.
Hey, Pennsylvania!
What are you doing?

Another mess Trump will have to clean up, among many many.
Yeah, this is another thing that pisses me off. Why would the Dems escalate at this point? We can guess.

posted by majorsparkOh there will be. Right now the left are like headless chickens. You got Joe and Mika forced to go to Mar-a-Lago to beg the fuhrer for mercy, nothing more than collaborators now. A narrative is coming and it will be pushed hard. The manufactured outrage and protests will come.
Well, the libertarians and other independents who voted for his promise to stop the wars aren't happy with his warmonger nominations. He wants a good legacy, he should push for it. And these picks ain't it.
I just think the girl is one of those rare women who are sometimes lovely/pretty and sometimes unattractive. I don't see anything wrong with being bare faced, without plastering on 23 layers of makeup.
But when she takes a little time on her appearance it shows a nice difference.
At any rate, she isn't running for any office, so her appearance doesn't have to be set for a camera 🤷♀️
Ok, I get it now lol
AB is such a jackass lol
My stance is that Christians all the world can pray for Israel all they want.
But Israel and Palestine are going to keep on doing what they do. They are also allowed to go into debt as much as they dare.
Same with Ukraine.
We should not continue to blatantly ignore what is happening in our own country to satisfy the military industrial complex, The Establishment, or any sense of "well, we've always done this". Too fucking bad.
Trump just continues to piss me off and he better watch it or he will have masses of people in DC protesting HIM.
Well, you know that nobody believes anything you say (Morning Joe) when Keith Olbermann trashes you 🤣

I don't think having a faith in God is the problem.
It's when these people fade faith into politics and obeying the machine is where the problems come into play. Then it's not about faith.
On the other hand, I can't argue too much about the nut bags comment.
Let's face it, God isn't coming to these people to command them to slaughter and devastation.

Huckabee as ambassador to Israel?
I have absolutely no faith that Trump intends to stop war. That means not only in Israel but Ukraine too.
Huckabee, Hegseth, Rubio = war
As far as taxes go, I think it's perfectly acceptable for Congress to do more with less, just like the vast majority of Americans have to do. They want the job? Ok, but you got to do more than have lobbyist lunches and grandstand in front of the camera.
I'd go so far as to give a future date, 2040 for example, we will no longer be taking SS taxes out of paychecks and citizens will put that money where they see fit.
I know, I'll be called stupid and radical, but it would definitely curb our enthusiasm for manufacturing wars and force ourselves to invest wisely into ourselves.
