I read a comment from an analyst maybe a week ago that said that marginal Dems have so consistently owed their victories (and US Senate control, on occasion) to flukey Republican candidates over the past 20 years that maybe it's less a fluke/bug and just more of an inherent feature of the party's candidate pool.

We never did. After WWII, control of Korea was divided similar to Germany. NK invaded SK and the UN authorized an international force led by MacArthur to push NK back. The UN resolution wasn't vetoed because the USSR was boycotting and China's security council seat was still held by Taiwan. The peacekeeping force also arguably overstepped it's bounds, by nearly reunifying the peninsula (rather than simply reestablishing the border), and so then China jumped in and the conflict stalemated practically where it started.

SC Sen. Tim Scott has jumped in the GOP race.

My understanding is that Wagner's only strategic use is assault and have no ability to defend territory after gaining it. So basically they're in "not my problem, we did our job" mode.

I fixed that too

I'm curious, if it is official, what the official numbers are on each side

you're welcome

Wagner is claiming it finally finished capturing the remains of Bakhmut, after like eight months of grinding.

Yesterday woulda been my seven-day streaks but it never even occured to me to play because I worked from home and broke my normal routine, super annoying.

they seem very adamant that this is the character's last outing and that no one else will be cast in the roll. the real question is whether this is intended to tee up a 'successor' protagonist to keep the franchise alive the way George Lucas tried to tease Mutt at the end of KotCS.

Just take it with a smile, like George Santos would

Robert Garcia filed a motion to expel George Santos from Congress, I don't know the procedural details but McCarty has to act apparently and he's gonna route it into the Ethics Committee rather than a floor vote. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/16/house-gop-santos-expulsion-00097216
