No. But I know true love, so I’d say you’re wrong.

Why not both? Placate Trump by doing exercises, make it hard for him to attack without killing soldiers from all over NATO

Sure, it’s just important to recognize when abuse happens in the absence of law, and when abuse is law, as it would be for a law targeting Democrats and unmarried explicitly.

While I’m very against the executive order they describe, the headline is misleading:

Language requiring healthcare professionals to care for veterans regardless of their politics and marital status has been explicitly eliminated.

So they can also refuse to treat e.g. republicans and married veterans.

I guess there is some cultural nuance - my impression is that for some people, sexual exclusivity is understood as an impossible virtue which it is important to appear to uphold, but where breaking it is kind of like sneaking a cigarette after having quit.

The main argument against the annexation of Greenland right now is that Denmark is already letting the US do more or less what they want militarily. If Denmark pushes them out, they’ll have a much more legitimate reason to annex the island.

Good times. Borrowed Guitar Hero, LA Noire, Batman Arkham Asylum and Red Dead Redemption at the library, had a blast.

Threatening to invade a close NATO ally is some actual harmful shit.

It’s wild that threatening a close military ally with invasion is less divisive.

Ugh, the video about “leftist code” feels straight out of The Boys.

If you consider serious, global issues with empirical data, such as disease, poverty, hunger, the world is indeed improving, and has been for a while, see e.g. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-population-living-in-extreme-poverty-cost-of-basic-needs
