Living in suburbia, downwind of New York City, my rational choices do not include sitting it out. I will likely survive somewhere between hours and days in the event of thermonuclear war. In the event of complete infrastructure collapse, regardless of the cause, I give it a month. Going full prepper here is a fool's errand. The only reliable source of fresh water is 1200 feet down.

It obviously isn't optimal, but this is where I have to make my stand.

Isolationism has never been a viable long-term solution.

I'm not holding out on you, I just happened across this:

(Yes, you might consider historian Victor Davis Hansen a pundit. I don't.)

@jeffowski

Ah, I get it. Ignore the classical conservatives, but not the progressives.

I notice you don't mention the concurrence of Justice Jackson on the core finding, yet you don't castigate them. You include Barrett in the photo, but she dissented in part.

The concurring opinion of Justice Thomas is the one that shows the current administration is pursuing an illegal prosecution. You can expect this point to be revisited in the near future if the current activities persist.

Mary obviously lacks any concept of how this constitutional republic works and why it has lasted this long.

While most comments seem to think this makes the President above the law, the truth is nothing of the kind. It does help to clarify how to separate Official Acts from Private Acts.

So, the immunity decision protects others more than it helps Trump.

For example, when Trump takes office next January, he can't prosecute Obama for ordering assassinations, etc.

FWIW: The Dali is a container ship built in 2015. The bridge was opened in 1977.
