The description "...when the delicate link between reason and emotion has been stretched to the breaking point..." sounds very Serling-esque. Both TTZ and anthology came out in 1959 - wonder who copied whom?

"...most precious...military bases..."? This screed sounds more like opinion than news. Waiting for the facts.

Before we break out the pitchforks, important to note that the release would have required publication of details of all current and ongoing cases. If any here have ever been part of a workplace SH investigation, you know why that info should not be made public in the midst of investigating a claim.

They need to increase the frequency of his anti-amyloid drip - he's slipping away faster than they can keep up.

Performative hypocrisy. Somebody should ask them when they last read Matthew 6:5...

They wore sandals to war? That's whole other level of dedication.

Glad that a**-wipe is gone and forgotten.

Whistleblowers need to 1) lawyer up to help preserve confidentiality, and 2) report these incidents to the Army IG.

Unless we can get a 21st century Suetonius to write about it. HS students love salacity.

A reminder how easy it is to become what you hate.

We're in a kenocracy, ruled by the morally and intellectually vacant.

Another example of how BS can be enlightening.

That was also his response to the 100k's of American dead from COVID during 1.0. People are just things to him.

They are part of the natural microbiota of the human gut (help metabolize amino acids).

Or senators like sock puppet Rick Scott who think it's just fine that Trump doesn't bother to get Congress's OK before starting a war.

For a solid theological basis on why the Left Behind series was worse than fiction, check out "Against the Protestant Gnostics" by Philip Lee. Published in 1987, it's even more relevant today with the ascendancy of CN.

Always? Think again. My MIL was saved from starving to death in post-war Berlin, thanks to the efforts of the US-led Berlin Airlift.

Alex Jones thought the group was there sacrificing children and worshipping the Babylonian demon Moloch. Just the typically idiotic nonsense spewed by InfoWars.

Interesting that they're spending the most money on a company (Atlantic Diving) that provides UAV, infrastructure, electronics, and pretty much any and all of the tactical gear needed to equip and support an army.

Fanboy Thune wearing the same costume as his fetid leader. Any adults left in the GOP?

Only thing worse than being an insecure adolescent boy is being an insecure adolescent boy in a deteriorating old man's body.

I saw the photo before I read what it was about and wondered "Why would Heather be interviewing Ricky Gervais?"

If you are asking because you really want to know and not out of schadenfreude, check out "Bivens v. ...Federal Bureau of Narcotics", and the ensuing rulings on it by SCOTUS, up to 2021. One reason it's continuing is because they know citizens have (almost) no legal recourse to stop it. Power pays.

If you can't tell when someone is "wearing" their religion as opposed to actually living it, then that's on you. When the "christian" Right is trying to destroy our democracy, it is everyone's responsibility to know the difference between them and true Christianity.

Later sold to an Iowa high school marching band.
