Well then. That seems perfectly legal and reasonable. And not the result of a bad taco bowl.

Somehow I missed this, back when I didn't care about an idiotic Fox news commentator. But it's fun to remind the world about warrior Hegseth's mishaps with an axe.

BFO, but if weβre smoking dinky surface combatants two thousand miles from the strait of Hormuz, I think itβs safe to call this a general war.

In case you're not noticing the sub-text, this is an anti-fascism podcast! And it's a historical podcast! And it's a pod about humor and trauma!
It's also about a well-loved TV show.

In the final editing stages for Ep. 2 of Hogan's Heroes and Postwar America. In it we follow John Banner's and Leon Askin's journeys as Jewish refugees to the US (and the US Army). And we interview Holocaust historian Christopher Browning (Ordinary Men) about U.S. refugee policy. Catch up with ep.1!
Has anyone been to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum since the "Americans and the Holocaust" exhibit reopened? It closed in August for renovation, and there were concerns about trumpist revision. The image below shows original text on US refugee policy (as reported in August). Is it still the same?

When you're that far up dear leader's patoot, weird things come out of your yap.
100% of this. We've been on the (downhill) glide path toward unsustainable exquisite platforms carrying (not enough) exquisite munitions for a long time. The Ukraine War has been punching that notion in the gut, and we *may* be started to turn the corner. But we have π€‘ in charge right now, so π€·ββοΈ
This a tidy summary of the illegalities (hat tip to The Intercept)
Ok good people. I have 3995 followers. Let's do FIVE MORE!
What if you took World War II and made it a comedy? Hogan's Heroes did just that. My friend @milhistlee.bsky.social looks at this series through some new eyes. If you're a fan of the show or military history, check it out.

I mean, I don't KNOW that this attack was ordered as an Epstein files distraction. Really. I don't KNOW. And in times past, I'd be dubious about wag the dog theories.
But the timing sure is convenient.
I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

To be fair, there's no way anyone could have known that US-led regime change in Iran might not make things better
@markhertling.bsky.social: "There is no rational legal basis for this strike.β
You know what. I dont hate this timeline. Its not the timeline's fault. Its Trump's. And most especially his enablers and bootlickers.
Also, racism. Racism at the core.
James put this more clearly than my previous chart post. But mine has more sarcasm and derision.
Yes, I know. Ive taught it. To USAF officers. π
If only we taught this book among USAF officers.... OH wait we do!
But this admin fires dissenters.
The cabinet of clowns (and chief clown π€‘) have no idea what they're doing. But do have very sharp tools. Iranian regime (and people) will suffer. Regime may collapse. But there is no plan. Israel even said there's no plan (depends on what people do).
Also, no emergency. No war power. No coalition.
First I've heard of it. You dont think they actually did any staff work?
Goebbels
Every accusation is a confession from the Trump regime and the MAGAts: pedophilia, dementia, incompetence, un American, Trump crime family, running the economy to the ground, cozying with our enemies around the world, censorship of free speech and of course the biggie, destroying the United States!
ooh! that's a good point! I'm sure there are other examples out there too. But also notice that very little of that series occurs INSIDE a prison, where you would have to humanize the whole population.
But he got that flame lit!
