the American lives protected by the the counter-terrorist intelligence the Kingdom shares. Remarkably Trump seems more rational, more thoughtful, less histrionic on this than many of those who judge him daily.

because Trump seems to have a larger moral universe under consideration than the various outraged pundits, who care about their journalist class, but not say the soldiers lives who protect the Kingdom, the workers who produce arms that the Kingdom buys..

but when a Saudi national dies on Saudi soil then it overflows, because he wrote for the Post, seems to have had extensive Beltway connections. I am not often a fan of Trump, but I will say I am a fan of his flavor of reasoning talking about the decision he will make..

Is no one else bothered by the fact that important foreign policy decisions seem to rest on the pivot of a single remarkably well-liked man? Outrage from our political class was not forthcoming when we commit men & materiel to the proxy war in Yemen...

So an 30% chance that perhaps some strongly Native American ancestor didn’t have their DNA show up in Warren. Or that ancestor could have been European White, and made no difference to the estimate. Probably comparing lengths of longest matching runs more error-free comparisons

because recombining segments are stochastically lost over time. But read the chart; simulations indicate at generation 6 transmission is nearly guarantee at 100%; at generation 10 it’s 30%. Taking the median there is a 100 - 70% = 30% chance the inferred % is an underestimate.

I don’t think the overall tweetstorm this came from is good, because it shades the critical points it is trying to make by being indirect vs. insinuating. Here, I think this is trying to suggest that Warren’s inferred Native ancestry could be an underestimate of the true figurehttps://twitter.com/carlzimmer/status/1052225051557269505 …

while the whiter members are interested in protecting Warren from Nasty Man Trump and proving Rs just don’t get science as usual.

It is so strange to find candid interrogation of an issue in the media when the Democrat is facing the fire. My hypothesis is this possible only because there is an actual split in the coalition: The “PoC” are deeply interested in policing their exclusivist claims to identity..

This is incredible. It gets straight to the heart of the matter about what the problem was with Warren’s claim.https://twitter.com/theintercept/status/1052296167323836416 …

No one ever claimed or contended Warren was an official member of some tribe. We all understand that cultural affinity differs from heredity. The contention is whether it was tendentious for her to claim that ethnicity at her time at HLS and an explanation for her choice.

And despite that, an often copious amount of expected housework and child raising, many of these women must have had to just “got on” despite undergoing these experiences. They couldn’t afford long psychological traumas or deviating from their societal expectations.

Related to that is these rates were very high in the past. Unfathomably high. It was a consisted a *routine* spoil of war. Violent crime rates were much higher in the past, so your average woman had a much higher risk of being murdered, assault, burgled or raped than today.

Basically, many of these stories ask us to believe women are incompetent or helpless custodians of themselves. They weren’t, as much as they were afforded in societies in the past, so I don’t see reason to credit such stories in the present.

Women in the past would not have had the space, usually, to do bizarre things like voluntarily endanger themselves of the most precious commodities they possessed, not call in the most immediate law and justice in a time when it uncertain it could be had.

The breadwinner gets killed in a raid. Or a woman gets raped. All serious tragedies, that they had to be prepared to face and deal with far more quickly today. Even evolutionary adaptations, like lubricating when forced. Or cultural ones, like calling one’s male relatives.
