That's right. Here it is. But it's like you always have compared the sword, the making of the sword, with the making of the character. Cuz the stronger, the stronger it will get, right, the stronger the steel will get, with all that, and the same as with the character.

E: Rather than bloviating in the wrong thread, I actually have a question re: war with Iran.

If Trump decided to actually try to go through with a war with Iran, how would he navigate around the War Powers act? I know in the past it's been open to interpretation, but would he have any shot at starting a full-scale war like this without congressional approval?

It's not trespassing, she invited Ted Cruz in. This is always why I have running water around all my doors and windows.

Laws are only as strong as their enforcement mechanisms. If Trump's lawyer says it's legal, it's going to be treated as legal until a court says otherwise. If Congress doesn't like it they can pass another bill (which will just move the timeline back as the war continues), accept that the president is above the law, or impeach him.

There are a few myths about vampires who drink blood from the feet. It would explain an awful lot of the weirder things about the right.

Here’s a real story on the trespassing with the most details so far.

Didn’t breach her office, did get in the building and a utility closet; was stopped before getting in anyone’s actual office. Undergoing psychiatric evaluation.

I may be wrong, but I remember reading this from another news outlet who confronted the sheriff in question and he defended himself by saying that what he said was fine because he wasn't saying they should be immediately put to death -- they would get a trial first :downs:

there's a long and varied history of hardcore anti-queer crusaders winding up doing super gay poo poo and the joke is focused on the statistical likelihood of them being hypocrites, not whatever gay joke you're desperately trying to see

The idea that all homophobes are secretly gay is also a way for straight people to deflect from all of their homophobia. It's like white people monomaniacally focusing on all the instances of some black person acting like an 'Uncle Tom' to avoid thinking about where they fit in the big scheme of things.

That's what's being referenced. "All homophobes are closeted queer people" is a harmful and often false cliche and puts the blame for their terrible behavior on their queerness, real or imagined (since there's a whole lot of homophobes and transphobes out there who aren't), rather than them just being lovely people. It's usually not true and isn't really helpful, it's just a way for people to not have to think too hard about things and also mock the homophobic individual for... Being gay, apparently.

I guess it’s a bit of “luck” that Trump doesn’t respect or give a poo poo about any of his “advisors’” positions and just goes based off what Fox News says directly to him because they’re not 100% on board with the Iran war stuff as of yet

weirdly enough i believe he won't take us to war at least outside where we already. trumps a selfish coward and he doesn't want the repercussion of tons of dead american servicemen on his hands, i doubt he cares about them but i do believe he knows that would look bad.

I had the same reaction when I saw it come up in the news, so it fits. It's not even halfway through 2019 and 2020 election buzz is already making the news.
