They won because the highly motivated Russians were quickly moving toward them from the East, forcing the Germans to split their army into two different meat-grinder fronts.

America did not win the war, it was very much a product of the Alliance, assisted by strong rebel resistance.

You know where he lives.

During WW2, many Italian and German POWs were sent to America for internment, and treatment, if they were wounded. I have met a three separate couples where the POW fell in love with his nurse, and after he was sent home after the war, he came right back and married his American nurse.

Behaving compassionately toward your enemy is the best thing an Army can do to quell post-war problems. MAGA is too Sociopathic to understand that concept. They feel that the only strategy is to crush the enemy, then subjugate them mercilessly, because they are inherently cruel, and that's their idea of fun. They don't consider the danger in creating another generation of motivated terrorists.

There are ambitious MAGAs in those states, too, who won't be happy about not getting their chance to enjoy the corruption. What about down ballot offices that have term limits, and the holder has to leave? There are people retiring, and need to be replaced.

We can't just cancel elections for Congressional races. There are too many other important state and local races.

The Governors of the states. The states manage elections. They don't have to listen to the Federal government when they say don't have an election. The Feds have no say on this, despite all their whining.

I once got progressively sick over about 2 years, and nobody could figure out why.

Finally, I was at the dentist, and the hygienist asked what the doctor was doing about my bad tooth, which was nothing. He hadn't seen it because he was too focused on a tooth he said was cracked, and not paying attention the tooth which had a bad infection under the gum line. It had killed the nerve, so it didn't hurt, it was just pumping toxin into my body.

I got so sick that I once fell asleep at my desk, and a woke in a startle to my assistant standing over me, saying "Oh my God, I thought you were dead."

Once I got the dentist to do his fucking job, and pay attention to my real dental problem, I got the tooth pulled, some antibiotics, and with 48 hours, I felt better than I had in years.

BTW, I still have that "cracked" tooth. There's nothing wrong with it.

After the second ICE Execution, she and Lewandowski had a two hour private meeting with Trump. Everyone thought she'd be fired, but they call came out with Trump hailing their success, and giving his blessing.

He's notoriously easy to manipulate. On his first visit to Moscow in 1987, the Russians were so amazed at his response to the most insincere flattery, that they identified him as a valuable asset, and gave him the code name Krasnov.

Those around him know how to smooth talk him with flattery, so when he really has to fire them, he can't do it face to face. Suzy Wiles probably won't even let him fire anybody in person anymore. When it's time to cut someone loose, don't give them the chance to talk him out of it.

I heard she was told just before giving a speech. She had to stand up there bloviate, knowing the news of her firing was being sent out and broadcast in the media as she was speaking. By the time her speech was over, everyone would know she was fired.

Painful. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bitch.

We have never cancelled an election, not even during the Civil War. There is absolutely NO acceptable excuse for suspending an election. NONE.

Every war ever started was going to end in a quick, overwhelming victory that would solve all their problems.

Great response! Thanks!

Losing weight is just math: Calories In vs Calories Out. Which one is bigger determines whether you gain or lose weight.

For that last part, I was teaching myself to associate a mild hunger with losing weight and to stop seeing it as such a problem

This is huge, and one of the first things that you have to overcome. Heavy people have been conditioned to not just eat when they feel the slightest hunger, but to stuff themselves. Making that psychological shift that a little hunger is not only acceptable, but it's a signal that you are losing weight, is a sign that your diet is working. After a while, instead of motivating you to go to the refrigerator for something to eat, that hunger reminds you of your weight mission, and motivates you to stay the course.
