There’s only one reason to sit next to Lauren boebert at a live entertainment event, and it does nothing for Polis. Just pure beltway brain.

hey Claude show make me an image of "no bitches"

I dont think it is an exaggeration to say that the DoD is being run by, or at least heavily influenced by, the worst of miltwitter. The COVID/masking bit makes it abundantly clear www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

A whole new generation is about to get scarred for life by this

Veterans of a certain age were raised on tales of Operation Gothic Serpent, and trained on the TTPs that were developed in the aftermath I'm old enough to remember the Somalis dragging the bodies of dead US servicemembers through the streets of Mogadishu Pretty sure SECWAR is too

That "I take the TPS reports from the customers to the engineer! I'm a people person!" scene from Office Space hits different after you watch a dev/data engineer/[insert technical role here] try to write a white paper or, god forbid, talk to a customer

The phrase "Hollow Army" has been at the top of mind lately

Correct. If you want to do war crimes, Service Chief isn't the priority billet. However, if you want to change the institution's culture to match your uh... peculiar...values, Service Chief is a good place to start

Hi Civ-Mil scholars, American and Comparative, what books would y'all suggest about oversight on military affairs? I am not talking about SH, Feaver, Janowitz, and Schiff. More of the recent, process oriented, case studies or cross national stuff. Feel free to suggest your own?

how many Senate Dems will vote to confirm POTUS's chosen replacement for Bondi, I wonder

super excited for President AOC to fund the Woke 2 agenda by decree, since that is how things work now

Great thread

tangentially related: over the past few years I have discovered that people I served with, colleagues, linkedin connections etc are unrepentant racists or religious fanatics who very much approve of everything going on, and yet I hesitate to openly name names. I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm a coward.

It's either the Gerry Adams timer tweet or the Cars 2 eating beans in the theater tweet (you know the one)

could it be that they just hate women could that be it

I'm happy for the attorneys I follow here on bsky, they all seem to be having a simultaneous schadenfreude orgasm as they follow the arguments in the birthright citizenship case you love to see it

I'd love to know what consequences, if any, will be felt by an OGC that has developed the "legal" justifications for everything (and more) in the OP

gonna keep reposting this in the vain hope it filters through to a Dem with balls, love of country, and a little ambition

one time when I was a company commander I made one of my soldiers go to the field because the whole company was going to the field, and the DCG-O called my BC to tell him this soldier was excused from the training exercise

none of these words are in the Bible

Run that last one by me again please

I can think of a bunch whose opinions are trash and who I also dislike on a personal level, and they are all still on twitter

The smart war people are here because they recognized Elon Musk for what he is early on and left Twitter quickly. They are, pretty much exclusively, "bluesky elders"

White Rice Crispy diced spam Fried egg, over easy Shelled edamame Salad: Thinly sliced mini cucumber Scallions Cilantro Scoop of chili crisp Soy sauce Splash of rice wine vinegar Mix it all together on your plate and you have my favorite meal

This is why I am 100% in on packing the courts and pursuing a maximalist agenda moving forward, however slim the margin of majority may be. Young Republicans are overwhelmingly groypers and they are far worse than your average MAGA dead ender.

god willing I will live to see the day when "gunner, sabot, tank" are words frequently uttered in eastern Ukraine

Get ready to meet the absolute worst warrant officer stereotype of all time

Every day I become more and more of a single issue voter: The Judicial Reform Act of 2028 Pack the court to ensure future administrations can't twist the law to justify war crimes, this should never come down to the personal moral codes of individual commanders and pilots

first night as geo-bachelor, gonna get crazy and watch a bunch of reels of this dude in India rewiring electric motor coils by hand 👌

EAT SHIT DUKE lmaooooo

I just saw a car with a full body wrap that said "waifu hunter" in large letters on the sides and back. There were also pictures of various waifus in the design. So do I have to live out the rest of my days with the knowledge that such a thing exists?????

Peak bloom in my front yard 🌸

My wife is taking my oldest on a big trip for spring break, looking forward to getting lit* while the old ball and chain is away, W's in the chat hell yeah brother *eating disgusting gross delicious food that will assuredly make my tummy hort for a solid week

Alright I have had one (1) drink and I'd like to ask you all a question: have you heard the song "cum trees" by Tom McGovern (@tommcgovern27) on insta

what are we drinking tonight? bourbon, splash of coke, squeeze of lime 🤌

Duke Nukem 3D (1996)

The shuffle was a quality piece of kit. I currently use a older model SanDisk mp3 player (it has ✨️buttons✨️) with wired headphones when working out. RETVRN

You know I had to do it to 'em

Hey Siri, what's a high value target list

you will never guess the context here

Communism with racist characteristics

Edith Wharton is THE WORST

Jack Napier-ass gun

just 10 zillion marketing emails for TRT, guns, MMA gyms, tinder, and FanDuel

Again, setting another precedent - this time, line item vetoing a promotion list - will surely not blow up in anyone's face, especially not any COMPO 2/3 folks in the current administration

I can explain easily, he's a racist pussy. Hope that helps!

Well the good news is that this is definitely not how would-be authoritarian governments consolidate control over the largest branch of the armed forces

A whole new generation of officers will get to claim that they were mayors of small Iranian towns on their B school applications www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
