#13 Advocating that military personnel should obey illegal orders.

Why is no one surprised?

Ooooo, and with a "National Review" rationalization for the military to obey illegal orders.

Why would anyone be surprised.

#121 Interesting "story."

Will someone please tell BJ boi that there is some drool racing down the right side of his virtual chin?

It would be a community service.

Thank you.

#3 As usual, bell boi fails to understand difference between the scientific method and sensational headlines declaring science "wrong."

#121 Will someone be as so kind to say "Hello" to BJ boi for me?

"With deep consideration of your thoughts, BJ boi ...your friend, A_Friend"

Thank you, fellow denizens.

#108 Same here. I have always banked on the "fact" that medical science will always be one step ahead of my vices:

"A_Friend, you have [current disease du jour]. Here's a pill."

So, yeah... I'm going to live forever... too! :-)

#105 A Federal Office?

You mean like congressperson or Senator?

Sure.

For POTUS, well, as you stated, not at this time.

But, you wisely amended that to agree with the fact that "The Times They Are A Changing."

Perhaps not in my lifetime.

Perhaps not in yours.

There was once a time when the idea of a person of color as president of the United States was unthinkable.

"The Times They Are A Changing."

#29 Sorry, Major DEI Boaz: As usual you're full of bovine excrement while pretending to be an expert.

You have it, as usual, half-assed backwards:

This only place that America represents your wet dream of a "republic" is at the presidential-level, not at the "National" level as you ridiculously claim.

We are a democracy at the local, state and national level (US Senate and congressional elections).

We are a "republic" only in the sense that the president isn't elected via popular vote.

You know, Major DEI Boaz, I would have expected you to have learned that very basic civics lesson in, oh, I don't know: Junior high school.

Certainly in a long and distinguished career in service to America.

Am I right, Major DEI Boaz?

#94 Correct. A "socialist" can be elected mayor of NYC in 2025.

At the same time, the fact that Democrats in Mississippi broke the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority - without a "socialist" on the ballot - proves what Tip O'Neil once said:

All politics is local.

That said, however, the fact that the Trump insists on providing the Democratic Party and their candidates (a "socialist" or an Abigail Spanberger) such free, in-kind contributions, only makes the job of local candidates (local, state, Congressional) that much easier.

#101 The "Democratic party loses so damn much? Did you miss the news earlier this month?

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats"the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

->Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat

I see Major DEI Boaz is on the prowl.
