Especially notable in this age where we have nuclear powers playing 19th century sphere of influence politics (much to the horror and chagrin of John Kerry) - yet we still have the same old people... tut tutting everyone over national defense and suggestions that our military is not fit for actual ... national defense

And I don’t disagree- but let’s not ignore the historical context of the man behind that quote and his ideas on war and the military. the man that said was a huge Monroe Doctrine fan and recommended using it as pretext for war and annexation.

I didn’t not have to ignore it and I don’t...

I’m fully aware of TR’s body of work, thank you (he also killed lions and rhinos on the grassy veldt in the name of preservation, dontchaknow)

But the realpolitik is that his old adage has become a catchword for deterrence, not belligerence.

It's true.

Here’s what we know about the plan:

Pugh said Tuesday that it would cost $100,000 to provide 60 buses, lunch and t-shirts for about 3,000 students. At a news conference on Wednesday the mayor said she wanted “to get as much private dollars as we can” and asked if public money would be used said: “We’ll cross that bridge if we get to it.”

Another great example of a Democratic run system.

Yeah I'd be a bit more concerned if I thought any of these kids were missing out on any actual education

Carcetti went to Westeros and schemed against the Lannisters, the Arryns, and finally the Starks. That last one didn’t end so well. White girls with knives are tougher than black boys with guns.

Just FYI, that meme is off by about 30 years on the SES.

Some of the other points are blurry, but that one in particular is not.

I understand the term “formed” as used in the meme as a reference to the huge number of SES positions created under Obama and filled with his loyal followers...
