  1. Buying Tomahawks for their Destroyers too, along with other goodies. Australia buying Tomahawk missiles for air warfare destroyers - Defense Brief DEFBRIEF.COM After the shock announcement that it would walk away from the purchase of French submarines and instead build nuclear-powered submarines together with the US and UK, Australia announced the purchase of new missile systems for its armed forces. More specifically, the country's prime minister said
  2. Maybe trying to pack an entire agenda into one bill is a bad idea... Infrastructure Summer: The Sophie’s Choice of the Reconciliation Bill - The American Prospect PROSPECT.ORG Democrats may have to decide whether to do a few things well or a bunch of things not so well.
  3. As they should, but it should set off political alarm bells that the house is on fire and the political institutions should deal with it. If it doesn't, that's on us.
  4. All General and Flag Officers are Senate Confirmed. During confirmation one of the quick routine questions is along the lines of "Under oath do swear to give the Congress your unbiased professional military opinion?" My question, if the President of the United States is nuts, does a General Officer have an obligation to inform the Congress given that sworn statement? You're not going to change the nuclear command structure. Deterrence requires it be quick and difficult to decapitate. What needs to change is our political institutions willingness to use it's authority. Milley can't get in a room with McConnel and Schumer during the impeachment to inform them the President is dangerous?

It was really disturbing to see 27k upvotes supporting the institutionalization of a 15 year old based on the phrase "severely disabled who requires 24/7 care", that's literally me. Also the notion that nursing home staff are "professionals". It was really eye opening for me to see the ignorance and down right ableism on full display. But as @Iculussaid, this is America,
  7. Phony Diagnoses Hide High Rates of Drugging at Nursing Homes - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM At least 21 percent of nursing home residents are on antipsychotic drugs, a Times investigation found. If only a bill existed to get people out of nursing homes...
  8. Democrats Discuss Scaling Back A Key Caregiving Initiative By Half -- Or More | HuffPost WWW.HUFFPOST.COM A proposed expansion of services for the elderly and people with disabilities faces major budget pressure. Fuckkkk that
  9. Military subreddit threads about the mandate have been a blast to read. Military regulations are pretty air tight, especially the religious exemption where you can get in deep shit if you lie. Commander's options range from Other than Honorable Discharge, all the way to Court Martial or forcible vaccination (2 MPs hold you down while a military doctor vaccinates you).
  10. My mom's COVID test came back negative and the school district reupped the mask mandate, good day.
