It's not just DeSantis. Another POTUS wannabe has similar ideas.

Especially since there are so many GOP choices.

The Trumpublican candidate for Grand Poobah of Pennsylvania's platform on elections... https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/a-crisis-of-patriotism If a Democrat had proposed this our resident TrumpBot would be up in arms. instead he's probably speechless.

The United States did not have a professional standing army in 1791. At best the military could be akin to the National Guard. Basically any able bodied free white male could be conscripted into service by way of a local draft if necessary (they could also buy their way out as many did in the Civil War). A constant standing army wasn't around until the early 1800's. Well regulated militia basically meant that the volunteers needed to be ready in case there was a need. To be in fighting shape. Once the US established a regular full time militia the term basically became moot, imo.

One of my favorite lines from the story

Damn, I thought that was Amedeo Obici (Founder of Planters Peanuts)

Re slavery, I learned something today during a presentation at Colonial Williamsburg. I only caught part of the story as we were just resting under the giant oak for a bit. Anyway, during the pre Revolutionary times slaves could buy their freedom if they could afford to. They still needed permission from the Colonial Governor and pay a "Freedom Tax". The tax was good for 6 years and the rate increased incrementally every time. If they couldn't afford the tax, back into bondage. Interesting that part of history never came up when we were taught in high school 50 years ago. I doubt that it comes up today.

I'd throw VaTech into the mix as well. Very similar to MSU educationally. Like UVa borderline in sports. They're competitive, not great.

Thread...

Nothing shows respect for the flag than over commercializing it

This tweet held up well.. Unfortunately

The case, called Moore v. Harper, is centered on newly drawn maps of voting districts for North Carolina's 14 seats in the next U.S. House of Representatives. Republican state lawmakers want to resurrect a map that North Carolina's state courts struck down, finding that the map approved by the GOP-controlled legislature violated multiple provisions in the state's constitution by giving Republican candidates an unfair advantage through partisan gerrymandering. A court-drawn map has been put in place instead for this year's midterm elections. In their appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, however, the Republican lawmakers argue that the U.S. Constitution's Elections Clause gives state legislatures the power to determine how congressional elections are conducted without any checks and balances from state constitutions or state courts.

I thought the GOP hated radical activist judges...

Verlander is in the same boat is Greg Maddux (Cubs/Braves) and guys like Dave Winfield ( Padres/Yankees) even possibly Gary Carter (went in as an Expo but he wanted a Mets Cap). Best solution is no team logo since very few payers spend a majority of their career with one team anymore. What team would Scherzer represent if he were elected?

I don't think GA Trumplicans could have chosen a worse candidate.

She has brains, I'm just not sure she has developed political street smarts yet...

Mississippi has the highest infant mortality rate, highest fetal mortality rate and the lowest lifetime expectancy rate in the country. Maternal mortality is 1.9 times higher than the country's average. The folks who claim to be pro life are actually pro birth. They don't give a damn what happens next.
