There wasn't time for a proper primary, where candidates are sorted over during a period of time.

It would have quickly devolved into pro-Harris vs not-Harris with accusations thrown.

Under the circumstances, a convention would have divided the Dem party, and any candidate, Harris or not, would have been damaged.

The problem was Biden's running again.

Harris ran as good a campaign as she could (a couple missteps, like her answer on The View).

What she could not surmount is that she's not all that as a candidate - she did poorly in the 2020 primary.

LOL no - 'bout time you provided something to illustrate what you mean by "rhetorical responsibility" among your other vague exortations.

??

How is that better? "Directed Incoherently" doesn't really mean the same as "strategic".

You just want the word "crisis" in there. And you want "excellence" downgraded to "competently".

Really - it *is* spin that you want. Rhetoric - as in persuasion.

Really? Because "strategic incompetence" scares the bejeezuz out of me. I guess I take "strategic" seriously.

What would you have? Really curious, what's your suggestion?

You want a headline that includes condemnation of th war? Or what?

?!?

The headline is exactly what the article is about.

Well, the flag code allows for flag *themed* items of clothing, bunting, etc. Maybe the pocket insert is ok maybe.

But the buckle - nah.

Wonder what he would think of being in the same company as Abbie Hoffman.

Usually when one gives advice, one thinks it feasible.

Also need discussion and guidance. And curation of the curriculum.

Just about any yahoo can post on YouTube. Though there's a lot of good stuff there.

Should be part of any history, poly sci, and international relations curriculum.

SO many problems with that communication. Factual, lexical, logical.

Hopefully, that he takes "surrender" to mean "refrain from shooting at" means he'll find an exit well short of actual surrender.

My radical idea of the day.
Most people assume it would boost militarism. To the contrary, I think it would mold more informed, critical citizens.

Please note also I do not want that to happen and would be in favor of our Navy sinking the shit out of this hypothetical Iranian platform, but legally, war is a two way street

07.03.2026 03:42 πŸ‘ 56 πŸ” 4 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

A corollary to this, it would be a legitimate use of force, not terrorism, for Iranian regular forces to strike a US Navy base (including Newport), or the Pentagon.

I'm done with there. Maybe if it gets passed on somehow from its current owner.
