It happened. And one of the architects of the idea admitted it. IN WRITING.
‘Decision To Arm Ourselves Or Arm Ukraine’: Navy Secretary Admits Crisis In US Defense Stockpiles
The conditions this story describes are not sufficiently appreciated, as far as I can tell.

Some people say Stumble Joe’s classified documents scandal is completely different from Orange Man’s classified documents scandal, but I’m not convinced. Just considering physical features, I doubt that a locked garage meets any of the minimal standards set forth in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) for storage of classified materials. Orange Man’s basement closet at Mar-A-Lago arguably did meet NISPOM standards, if only because it is underground.
Also, Stumble Joe’s arrangement offered a fast getaway car to any would-be classified document thief. Orange Man never did that!
Personally, I think poor old Stumble Joe is being set up; someone is engineering his exit from power. Don’t be surprised if the U.S. economy tanks or the war in Ukraine goes south for NATO or the civil war in Mexico crosses our border. Stumble Joe will be the scapegoat.

Not a huge deal obviously, but emblematic of the imbecility of the GOP majority.
It is their basic “Fuck You” attitude on display.
They are saying . . .

Rugged individualists? Or sociopaths?
Church Committee 2.0?
Two staff members from the Church Committee supports the idea that the Jordan-led ” Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government” is anything but a self-serving tool to protect them from investigations for their roles in 2020 Election interference and the January 6th insurrection. They are pretty clear that it is 1) more akin to McCarthy’s UnAmerican Committee, and 2) ” The current congressional vendetta appears self-protective and intended to intimidate federal investigators from doing their jobs.”

Nick Freitas filed this bill with the GA. It raises one question: Why?
One answer could be a step towards a “Personhood” bill for fetuses.
What’s Ahead in the War in Ukraine
This brief analysis — completed at the end of November — is both superb and easy to read.

How Russia does propaganda
As Russia’s “firehose of lies” about its invasion of Ukraine loses is effectiveness against the truth, they turn to more subtle means to achieve their propaganda goals and mess with your mind. This article gives a good overview of how they – and their enablers – are going about that. Many of their tactics will be very familiar to regular readers of this forum.
Speaking of Russia
This is for those “conservatives” on this forum who have been touting the superiority of the Russian military and how, by comparison, our country is a failed state. You know who you are.
Bottom line, the flagship of the Russian navy and their ONLY real aircraft carrier is a rusting hulk and cannot even be moved under its own power.
