In his book On War, Carl von Clausewitz defines the term as one that:
"Denotes properly such a portion of the space over which war prevails as has its boundaries protected, and thus possesses a kind of independence. This protection may consist of fortresses, or important natural obstacles presented by the country, or even in its being separated by a considerable distance from the rest of the space embraced in the war. Such a portion is not a mere piece of the whole, but a small whole complete in itself; and consequently it is more or less in such a condition that changes which take place at other points in the seat of war have only an indirect and no direct influence upon it. To give an adequate idea of this, we may suppose that on this portion an advance is made, whilst in another quarter a retreat is taking place, or that upon the one an army is acting defensively, whilst an offensive is being carried on upon the other. Such a clearly defined idea as this is not capable of univers... less

“I love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The thought of this choir and Mormonism being forever associated with a man who disparages minorities, brags about his sexual control of women, encourages intolerance and traffics in hate speech and bullying, was unacceptable,” Randall Thacker said in a statement. “I immediately knew there were probably thousands of people who felt the same way, so I created the space on Change.org for like-minded Mormons and their friends to share their feelings.”
About 215 of the choir’s 360 members are expected to perform at the inauguration, church officials have told The Salt Lake City Tribune.
By Thursday evening, nearly 19,000 people had signed the petition, which is seeking 25,000 signat... less

The population homogenizes and you cannot distinguish one from the other. They think alike, look alike, sound alike, react alike and pass that restriction of beingness down to future generations.

Why drag bottomfeeders in politics into an environment of creativity and achievement? I don't know who called that shot but how sad it is that we can't escape the taint/stench of Washington, D.C. even for an evening. More publicity for a man who feeds on it. Any kind. As long as ti focuses on him he doesn't care what you say. Just talk about HIM. Well they did so he was very gratified I expect. SIGH. No escape. He is everywhere all the time. :( less

If you didn't know then you are beyond incompetent/ignorant and quite possibly even stupid. Either way you lose.

Actually other countries don't bother with him since he is so reactionary. Not a visionary.

But don't we take meds for everything all the time because we just LOVE fast easy solutions? Are we lazy, crazy or thoughtless?

These folks retweet and thus spread the lies worldwide and don't even realize they are mere pawns/tools/puppets whose strings are being pulled for a price. So it ain't only hostile foreign powers like RUSSIA that are sabotaging truth. It's anyone anywhere who has the knowledge of how to trap the GULLIBLES into believing them and having them do the heavy lifting by forwarding crap tweets. You still trust Twitter? You still believe all those tweets that shore up what you want to believe? You still retweet and forward and spread the manure around to fertilize lies? You still have faith that what YOU believe to be true is absolutely true because a twit tweeted you and who would lie to you, con you, spam you, trick you, make a fool of you? SIGH. less

So of course everyone else will die from starvation and the world will finally belong to the OBSCENELY WEALTHY! Nice future ain't it folks? When will this occur you ask? As soon as the powers that be can get it done. They will all travel with mobile injection units and lotsa liquids. Everyone will be fit not fat. Oh frabjous joy! SIGH.

Senator Graham said "you don't need $25 billion for a wall"! A lover's spat or deadly serious? Graham stopped sucking up to donjohn a few days ago. Anyway know why?
The change? They will no longer require folks to identify their place of birth! Yep. So what should the donjohn? Ground them? Send them to their rooms without supper?

He can fire whomever he wants whenever he wants including The Supreme Court, Senators who irk him, Congressfolks who pi** him off, all local pols in every city in every state that makes him irate! Everyone does whatever he asks of them without exception. The ball is in his court. The decisions made are entirely on his shoulders. No one stops him. They just let him be Donald. So worst-case scenario and best-case scenario?
