By the way, I would point out that your identity has been stolen, but in reality Trump sold it.
While not an actual imbecile in real life, I play one on social media.

That really is a shit heel move. No healthcare either, no family benefits (commissary, Rx, etc) If any of them are small business owners, or contractors they are going into their own pockets for this.

The analytical starting point for any federal power is that it needs to be explicit. In the US model, power flows from citizens to the states and then up to the federal government. That which is not vested federally, is retained in the states. The unspoken remains with the people.

On the bright side, the Navy tends not to fuck around with what they can subcontract. If marching is important, they can hire North Korea for a fraction of the authorization. Any surplus will go to dropping a jet or two into the ocean.

It occurs to me that some bridges might be built and wedges driven through the simple act of helping these men and women out. If the time comes, they'll identify more with a fellow worker across the line than a faceless overlord pushing them to do something they despise.

I would back it down off crazy to encompass some combination of poorly socialized and overly dramatic short of "crazy." It is not just at the unmoored extremes where we fail. We are reverting to functional men who treat others, particularly women and children, as appliances for their convenience.

This is bullshit duty and every one of these troopers knows it. They should pack sick call or simply refuse this shit detail. They are not battling any tidal wave of crime. There is no tidal wave of crime. Just as with all Trump's other "emergencies" it is a fabrication.

History, like science and other educational disciplines, is not about how you "feel," Snowflake. It is about proven, demonstrable realities to educate the ignorant. If you cultivate fact-resistance, you will remain a thoughtless, malleable husk of a human subverted by nefarious programming.

The "Appearance of Impropriety" is a subjective standard evident in the eyes of the beholder. If it is to be applied, then it calls into question the arbiter of the standard - a test no one in the Trump administration can pass.

No. I normally agree with Reich, but this would be foolish. In a world where the electorate is so easily swayed by a glittering screen flashing in their faces, there is no argument for the Democrats to nail themselves to a cross on principle. Campaign finance reform "yes;" but "not yet."
