Not really. It certainly shows correlation between religion and politics though.

It's more explanatory of the hypothesis that Republicans adhere to religion more generally than the American populace, that white Christians trend towards Republicanism, or a similar idea.

This is hosed up story.

If its not registering to you because its not something attacking the Trump admin to the core then you might be the one with very narrow tunnel vision. And if even indictments of Trump insiders don't register because they're not big enough then you might have REALLY narrow vision.

Since you're so smart maybe you can explain why it is an important story, especially important enough to qualify as the author's "the most disturbing story [he has] ever reported in ~15 years of covering national security".

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
You guys are thinking too hard on the 'immoral acts' thing. That's going to include things like drinking or getting high and if anything, more people in Congress need to get baked out of their minds.

It's worse. In Tillman's case, he was killed by accidental friendly fire which was then covered up. In this case, it's looking like these other two SEALs were embezzling Pentagon money intended to pay local informants, and killed him because they thought he was going to blow the whistle.

e: It might not actually be as bad because unlike Tillman, the brass weren't involved in the coverup

By sheer coincidence he was becoming extremely anti-war and if he'd come home alive and intact he'd have probably become one of if not the biggest anti-war voice in the country. Good thing the US government destroyed his diaries and everything else that would've made it look bad.

Tillman's death being a murder that was able to be blamed on accidental friendly fire is almost certainly what happened.

Forcing Jerry Jones out of the NFL would be almost as good as when the racist Clippers(?) owner was forced to sell. Hell, it might be even better. Jones is the posterchild for old rich white assholes. When he threatened to bench anyone who kneeled I was sad that the next Cowboys game didn't have the entire team take a knee just to call his bluff. Or force him to declare a forfeit of an NFL game which would probably cause fans to riot.

Worth noting: they interviewed 550, so 3% means they asked literally 15 people under 35. Weirdos who have landlines. The real number for under 35 is probably worse. I think Moore is toast.

thats people with cable internet bundles that come with phone. sometimes people plug phone in, maybe because they have kids or a parent that likes having the phone

i agree its probably worse for moore though

Not that those aren't terrible suits, but I'm pretty sure that when you're NBA player size, just about anything looks weird on you because of proportions, and the taller you are the worse it gets.

The US has special forces on the ground in Africa, trying to root out islamic extremists.

One group of those special forces got attacked by said islamic extremists, another group had two criminals who embezzled money from a slush fund and murdered a third guy after he found out. So, yes and no.

To conflate them would require knowing that Niger and Mali are in the same region so I don't think too many people would get them confused.

please explain how this is apparently anything more that two criminals in the military

The SEALs scalp and otherwise desecrate enemy combatants on the regular. They fly Trump campaign flags from their vehicles in contravention of the law. And now apparently steal money and murder their comrades to cover that up. There is something very very wrong with one of the most well equipped and trained groups of killers in the United States military.

If corruption, aberrant behaviour, and a break down in military discipline within a special forces group doesn't give you pause, I suggest you read up on the origin of Los Zetas.
