People deserve what they get if they buy something that was made by Donald Trump

Anyone else have a redneck family that started dropping off endless truckloads of random used books from various flea markets at your home the very moment they found out that you like to read?

So, a 5 would be the worst possible answer?

Even if true (which I have long believed to be true) the Russian accomplice angle hasn't been playing very well in the US among US voters

Trump and his cronies have effectively astroturfed that subject across a large section of the population

A more effective approach would be focused on the price of oil, force Trump's hand to make a move that would crater oil prices

That would hurt Russia even more than destroying refineries

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Last time they did a parade was back in '91 after the first Gulf War, they wore a combat uniform then as well but also wearing their LBE

But that was just after the ending of actual major combat operation, so it wasn't entirely out of place to wear the desert uniforms that were worn for that particular theater of operation

I'm not sure why they chose combat uniforms for Trump's parade, maybe Trump requested them or it was a bargaining olive branch to the troops from the brass to try to keep participation high since dress uniforms are much less comfortable to wear in parades and require more effort on the part of the soldiers to prep

I know we always did our best to avoid those kinds of events that required them

I just think it's odd that they're not wearing class A's or even B's

When I was in 20+ years ago they didn't even want us stopping for gas off-post in our BDU's on the way home from work

Wearing white parade gloves in that uniform also just looks weird

New York Times bestselling Author Michael Lewis is, as one interviewer recently put it, “a kind of guru of our age”.

This is because, in books like Moneyball, The Big Short and Going Infinite, not to mention his own podcast, he has chronicled some of the big social and economic seachanges of our time - from the global financial crisis, to the cryptocurrency market, and how online gambling companies have managed to wage something of a “war against young men”.

Sometimes, he even seems to anticipate the sea changes. Last year, he all but predicted Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE manifesto, when he decided to investigate what American civil servants actually do. And the catastrophic risks that might come from decimating the federal government.

Today, Michael Lewis, on all of this, and what he thinks comes next for the American government. Plus, whether he thinks our own prime minister is “gutless” for delaying a ban on TV gambling advertising.

... the Big Ugly Bill is enacted with the following provision, now hidden in the bill:

“No court of the United States may use appropriated funds to enforce a contempt citation for failure to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order if no security was given when the injunction or order was issued….”

Translated: No federal court may enforce a contempt citation.
