Am I right that a talking filibuster would favor the Dems? A single Dem. holds the floor. The can issue a quorum call at any time. If a quorum is not present, the Senate adjourns. Meaning all Reps. have to there all the time to make a quorum or they lose. The other Dems just stay off the floor.
Really? This is the best the university could do? There was no one else who came close to this clown? www.brusselstimes.com/2007046/ghen...

Everyone should listen to their mom.

Decades of scholarship dating back to World War I on using air power to force political change has established a consistent finding: Bombing can degrade military capacity and destroy infrastructure, but it does not produce governments more cooperative with the attacker. Political outcomes require political processes – negotiation, institution-building, legitimate transitions of power. Bombs cannot create any of these. Instead, what they reliably create is destruction, and destruction generates its own dynamics: rallying among the population, power vacuums, radicalization and cycles of retaliation. The American record confirms this. In 2003, the George W. Bush administration launched “Shock and Awe” in Iraq with the explicit aim of regime change. The military objective was achieved in weeks. The political objective was never achieved at all.

Gosh, I'm surprised. This is my surprised face. 😐
Anything is possible if you just put your mind to it.
Is there a a petition going to get Barron Trump to volunteer to be a grunt on the ground in Iran?

The right-wing "intellectuals" have been preaching against education for 80 years. These are just some of the BOOKS, not to mention the magazines and, these days, online nonsense.
All I gotta say is cancel culture ain't what it used to be. Ask a sex trafficker how to sexually harass a student and you get to be "President for Life" or some shit at Harvard. theconversation.com/former-harva...
Yeah, well those teachers actually work for a living.
That must be the land-grant side of Cornell, right?
Faculty lounges? Those places have faculty lounges? In my 30 years of university employment I've never been at a place with a faculty lounge. You Ivy League types are really lah-de-dah!
I agree with this article while disagreeing with the headline. It assumes Rogan had first thoughts. I assumes Rogan thinks at all rather than just opening his mouth and vomit out words. www.publicnotice.co/p/rogan-trum...
Is it a book you wrote? That would be the ultimate specialization.
The punishment described here is a bunch of old farts in their 70s are "forced" to retire and enjoy their quiet and peaceful lives. This is justice? www.jezebel.com/larry-summer...

Somehow this reminds me of MAGAts who try to decode the increasingly incoherent Trump: "It must mean something. It is impossible it is just nonsense." Even when we know it is just nonsense. www.openculture.com/2026/02/an-i...
But the real issue — again from the Lemon and Fort filing — is that DOJ rushed to charge this before investigating. Again, two defense teams with DOJ career prosecutors scold Trump’s legal blow-ins for failing to follow DOJ polices.
“No, no!” said the Queen. “Sentence first—verdict afterwards.”
“Stuff and nonsense!” said Alice loudly. “The idea of having the sentence first!”
