Pakistan orders army to fire on US troops if they invade Pakistan again. Something about that is a little troubling to me. Can’t quite put my finger on it.
One thing I don’t understand: if the US cannot be allowed to go into Pakistan, how are they going to capture Bin Ladin the week before the election? Don’t the Pakistanis know how important this mission is to John McCain the free world?
I know everyone’s joking about the My Pillow Guy. But he was there to convince Trump that China was behind rigging the election. And his printed notes mentioned Trump declaring martial law. (Sorry to be a buzzkill, but this is serious shit.)
Evans was a fixture at the clinic for much of 2019, with a reputation for harassment so severe that the clinic erected a 10-foot fence to deter him. A volunteer escort obtained a restraining order against him, accusing him of stalking her. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/01/16/derrick-evans-abortion-clinic/?tid=ss_tw
It was hard, but I’ve picked the 15 most notable lies of Donald Trump’s staggeringly dishonest presidency: http://www.cnn.com/2021/01/16/politics/fact-check-dale-top-15-donald-trump-lies/index.html
"On December 19, AZ GOP Chair Ward fired off a tweet urging Trump to “cross the Rubicon,” referring to the historical event that led to Julius Caesar declaring a dictatorship in ancient Rome."https://interc.pt/3oJCqrF by @matthewccook5
Separate from (and I would say in many ways more important than) the legal particulars of impeachment, Democrats can and should obtain sworn public testimony about Trump’s wrongdoing to publicize it.

Axios has some spectacular reporting on Trump's plan to steal the election. Read it all, but this bit was especially incriminating: https://www.axios.com/trump-election-premeditated-lie-ebaf4a1f-46bf-4c37-ba0d-3ed5536ef537.html
The War on Terrorism is a Lie
The war on terrorism is a lie because terrorism is not an enemy, it is a strategy.
Terrorism is a strategy employed by weaker states and non-state actors when fighting an asymmetric war against a more powerful opponent.
No state or non-state actor enters a conventional war against an enemy it has no chance of defeating conventionally.
Since the U.S. has declared that it will maintain military superiority without challenge, it has done everything in its power to do just that. The US defense budget for 2008 is some $700 billion. There is no single state or non-state actor on this planet that can defeat the United States in a conventional war.
Therefore, any single state or non-state actor that finds itself at war with the United States will be forced to fight an asymmetric war. That is, they will be forced to employ terrorism.
Therefore the war on terrorism is a war against anyone at war with the United States. Therefore the war on terrorism is a lie. It is not a war on terrorism at all, but a war to promote and defend US imperialism.
