So we oppose US intelligence agencies overthrowing democratically elected leaders in other countries but not their own?

In fairness to Colin Powell, my understanding was he didn’t know it was a lie/ trumped up evidence at the time, and was pretty bitter about it in later years.

Maybe new? Their account has been suspended (I know the temporary looks like that, unsure about the permanent suspension).

Elite levels of competition like the Olympics are testing those statistical outliers/ extreme ends of the bell curve though.

I want to believe you, but the record for marathon time for men is faster than the record for women and the record for long swim events (1500m freestyle) for men is faster than the women’s record.

The reason behind priests not being allowed to marry originally had nothing to do with their faith though.

I watched the YouTube stream of a recent Maryland townhall: dark blue state, all Democrat Representatives and Senators speaking and taking questions, hosted by a Democrat county executive. Someone got up and confronted them about the immigrants abducted by ICE being held in Baltimore Harbor and not allowed to see their lawyers.

Americans are fundamentally selfish.
