I just wanted to add some context for one of these bullets.

The US is upping the amount it spends on nuclear weapons maintenance and production because China has reentered the game as a major player. They'd been stable at 300-350 warheads for decades but is expected to ramp up to producing 100+ per year by 2030.

So one major adversary has just been replaced by another. Everything old is new again, including the cold war arms race.

The ancient wonders series or whatever they're called is wild too. It's like some kind of unified conspiracy theory adventure.

If blue no matter who worked, the Democrats would have won. So that's obviously not a thing.

I'm pretty convincing he's being encouraged to outright collapse the us by Putin

No, it isn't like the nemesis system in a Lord of the rings game. A new VP is appointed, instead of everyone moving up a rank.

Why not just....hire spokespeople for a PAC at $500k/yr based on a public contest/audition about making right wing content? Same outcome, not at all illegal.

Hayes ending reconstruction is one of the worst and possibly one of the most consequential decisions in the history of mankind.

It really is surprisingly effective. So few people actually contact their legislators.

I set up a harassment campaign and got a few hundred people to contact a state legislator whose committee was holding up legalizing weed in my state and a few months later it was legalized. Agitate. Make a difference. Protesting doesn't do shit, get all the people there to call their representatives and senate members - especially for state and local stuff, and you might actually get something changed. Or even better, send a letter.

My wife meant to take my name, but then we never did the paperwork. So we just left it.
