Ironically, we do...it's just that it is so obsessed with not being accused of a liberal bias that it bends very far over backwards to "both sides" at best, and and often goes straight to "some Democarts feel" criticism at worst.

The purveyors then bask in what they perceive as their journalistic righteouness, comparing themselves to a knee-jerk rightwing media bubble that never criticizes its own side, utterly missing the reality that knee-jerk negativity is itself, well, knee-jerk...

I truly wonder what shape their missiles are in. Given the sad state their other weapons are in I'd be surprised if the sub nukes worked 100%.

MAD is a deterrent especially when Putin knows we actually do maintenance and upkeep on our missiles and we will most assuredly reduce him to rubble.

Not me. I'd rather go to Alaska - I hate sunlight and beaches and the oceans - that damned salt water.

Yep. When my dad was alive he'd say "I'm 100% sure," and that always meant he was wrong. Only difference was he wasn't being an asshole - he was being funny.
