—“was repeatedly extended and wasn’t repealed until 1863, even though it was initially supposed to be in effect for only two years.”

Huh I guess that’s where our government learned to do this 😑 How many laws and taxes have they told us are “temporary” but then they keep getting extended over and over?? Oh, except tax cuts, THOSE always seem to have an end date 🙄

I vote the second option for the Durov situation. It’s also simultaneously a warning shot to Elon Musk imo.

That RFK clip was great, love how he and the Trump campaign have been countering the fake news idiocy! Keep it up!!

Oh yes and the “queering” of nuclear weapons bit is probably one of the most asinine and ridiculous things I’ve ever heard about 🙄🙄🙄 (Is this bureaucrat also a luggage stealer, I wonder? 🤔 ) Maybe they think that if they paint rainbows on the weapons, like with the crosswalks, no one will dare to mess with them? 🙄 Maybe the missiles need their own individual pronouns too? 🙄

I originally thought the "queering" of U.S. nuclear policy was satire until I saw it confirmed here.

Yea, and I don't mean to be an agist, but what the heck is someone that young doing in such a high position of nuclear decision making?!

I don’t think that’s ageist. It’s ageist to assume that acquired wisdom isn’t more beneficial than the whims of youth. I prefer only those who have aged and grown wise to be in nuclear positions. Even if I don’t agree with them, I want to know they have marinaded long enough in life and perspectives.

Because no one of a certain age with a functioning brain, would be able to keep a straight face when the "idea of queering" the nuclear policy was brought up. Sometimes the stupidity of youth can be used to serve an agenda. Just ask Commie Ho. She thinks all young people are stupid. (I don't think she ever moved beyond that phase.)

Remember when you were that young? I KNOW I shouldn't have been in charge of Nukes at that age. Hahaha, I have blown up the world, no shit.

Funny that Jeff thought the article could be an AI article as the same thought crossed my mind. The saying used to be "you just can't make this stuff up." AI can.

If I didn’t know our CIA would never use disguises, rewrite resumes for undercover assets, disappear people, and hire actors to play political roles, I would never notice how much Sneha Nair looks like an Indian actress with the same first name. I’ll just admit that all women of color look the same to me.

This raises so many questions, RL. Are queer nuclear weapons attracted to other nuclear weapons? If they want to stay in a closet, can the president “out” them?

Jordan Peterson recently interviewed Logan Lancing, co-author of the book "The Queering of the American Child." I was interested to discover that 'Queer Theory' isn't exactly what I thought it was. Its essentially opposition to anything that is normalized. It is really evil, and especially when practiced on Children.

"...One month after Nair was hired, Biden signed a brand-new, highly classified U.S. nuclear policy, which you aren’t allowed to read."

Am I the only one that finds this HIGHLY alarming? This Bolshevik regime has changed the Nuclear Policy of the Defense Department and we aren't allowed to know what that policy is??? This regime is trying every trick to provoke Russia and start WWIII and suspend the elections. I think whatever they changed in the US nuclear position is NOT for our protection!

"...This will be the last election for the US and will most likely split in the year ahead before 2028. I fear that people will either still attempt to kill Trump, perhaps attributing it to bird flu or monkeypox. If they cannot pull that off, they will start World War III ASAP to try to trap Trump and RFK into war. They do not care about anything but their own power."

I'm getting desensitized and glossed over that as simply typical of this administration, but yes, absolutely alarming. Our state house chair won't release OUR documents he created to impeach our AG. We the people should execute FBI-type raids on these shysters.

What if politicians were more interested in expanding liberty than passing laws? Too much legislation is no more than carve outs for special interests and fuel for litigation. Texas Rep Chip Roy spoke recently about removing X number of old statutes for every new statute passed. Imagine whittling state and federal code down to the Constitution.

Never going to happen. Corruption is only weeded out through judgement which prolly means collapse and/or revolt. Politicians will never legislate against themselves.

Reasonable Horses's avatar

I’m afraid you’re correct. They figure authoring or sponsoring any bill that passes is a resume enhancement. We should canonize reps who get legislation repealed.

Rick Scott proposed a sunset rule that every new law would be for a specified amount of time and then would have to be voted on again or it would go away. Surprisingly, it didn’t go anywhere.
