The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

In a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. CQ Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lawmakers asked the defense leaders to reaffirm that U.S. law prohibits forces from being used for civilian law enforcement and that they should not carry out unlawful orders.

The letter, written by Democratic Reps. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey, mirrors questions posed in the run-up to the 2020 election when Trump was already suggesting that he might not accept the results of the election if he lost.

They point to Project 2025, the ultraconservative blueprint for the next Republican White House, in underscoring fears that the military will be used to actively police the southern border. The nearly 1,000-page document includes startling proposals such as firing large swaths of the federal government workforce and disassembling longstanding agencies, including the Justice Department.

“In 2020, when the former President and others disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, principled military leaders made it clear they would not help that effort and took an important stand for democracy,” Slotkin said. “Now, prominent leaders are once again declaring that if given a chance, they will use the military for their own political ends.”

Austin hasn't spoken much about the issue, but told reporters during a July 2021 press conference at the Pentagon, that “it’s really important to me that this department remain apolitical.” He said he would do everything in his power to ensure that the military did not become “part of the political apparatus.”

A legitimate case could be made for DoD patrols along the border for 'National Defense'.
 
female boxer Imane Khelif posts instagram look and another, where she's dressed in a more feminine way.
her point is not that she is being forced to dress 'more womanly' because of her detractors but that what she's wearing depends on what she's doing and clothes do not define who a person is:

In the caption, which has been translated from Arabic to English, Beauty Code noted that while Khelif was “changing her appearance” in the video, the boxer was not defined by her looks. She also “did not seek to change her form to fit the molds that the world wants to confine us to.”

“Her message is much deeper: clothes do not make a monk, and appearance does not reveal the essence of a person,” the caption read. “She can be feminine and elegant when she wants, but on the ring, she does not need makeup or high heels. She only needs strategy, strength, and to throw blows, which is where the essence of her personality lies.”

 
Dr. Salvador Plasencia is accused of supplying Perry with 20 vials of ketamine for $55,000. He has pleaded not guilty. Plasencia allegedly called Perry a "moron" in a text message.

"If the text message is true, while it certainly is insensitive, it's definitely not criminal," Plasencia's attorney Stefan Sack tells Inside Edition.

HisArpy? Haha! I kid!
But, no, seriously! HisArpy???
 

Proudly serving SC’s 1st District!
My 💩💩💩 representative, yall!

The very first time I saw Nancy Mace was in a debate against incumbent congressman (D) Joe Cunningham, a capable representative who, unfortunately, cared more for constituents than the camera.

Skip to the minute mark of this short clip:

Every instance that he questioned a stance she had she immediately twisted into him attacking her personally. It’s her reflexive fallback still.

 
The VFW has some words for Trump

https://www.vfw.org/media-and-event...s-former-president-for-medal-of-honor-remarks

These asinine comments not only diminish the significance of our nation’s highest award for valor, but also crassly characterizes the sacrifices of those who have risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty.


While the Presidential Medal of Freedom maybe our nation’s highest civilian award, the Medal of Honor is more sacred as it represents the gallantry and intrepidity of courageous and selfless service members, often at the cost of grievous wounds and even their lives. It’s because of our Medal of Honor recipients that great Americans like Miriam Adelson have the freedom to live to their fullest potential and make such lasting contributions to our great nation.
 
My Dad's neighbor is a trumper and I made the mistake of acknowledging him this afternoon. He was saying how much better the economy was under trump. I said, "You just put a $40k addition on a house you bought in 2014 for $1.2 under Obama." *blank stare*

Raffensberger slammed it as 'chaotic', since it didn't just require a single hand-count but for the ballots to be counted a separate THREE times (if i'm remembering correctly) and something about any not counted by midnight to be dismissed? ridiculousness
Yep. She is doing great updates if you’re a Twitterer.
