MLA format would be something like this:

Maneuver, The Picard. The Delusion. Picard, 2023.

Then, in your paper, to reference it, just write "(Maneuver 2023)".

Which bible verse did they study to split the atom

Genesis 15:10

Edit: in case it isn't obvious, /s.

I think the reason you're puzzled is because you're coming at it from the perspective that these people are undesirable as American citizens. And while I agree with that assessment, Republican congressmen and senators definitely do not. Guarantee you that there has been a lot of money donated to "the cause" by this family, through fundraiser dinners and the like.

Also, just in a general sense, it's super difficult to emigrate to the US if you're not rich, but super easy if you are. Money is the universal lubricator for the gears of government.

It's funny to consider "love of country" to mean "the food, certain people, and beautiful landmarks", while simultaneously condemning the actions of its government, and like half of the citizens who live there.

Not that I'm criticizing, mind. I struggled with this myself for a long time before finally coming to the realization that this country is like a problematic family. You're told that you should love it even if you don't like lots of aspects of it very much. Like an abusive parent.

I'm in my 40s now, and I've finally realized that that's bullshit. I don't love this country. I used to, but I've realized that I only ever loved the idea of this country while the reality has been a profound disappointment.

The barbecue is good, though. So that's nice.

You know, it's often hard to tell with guys like you whether you're trolling, or actually genuinely stupid. Of course I took the boosters. I'm not a moron.

So, out of curiosity, do you ever look at the reactions of normal people to your idiocy and think: "Gee... maybe I'm wrong about this thing that I'm completely fucking devoted to?"

Bro. I'm an engineer. Have been for more than 20 years. This guy, talking about how his job is harder than someone who delivers packages for 10 hours a day is fucking lying. Either that, or he's completely divorced from reality.

Yes, you need more schooling, and yes, solving puzzles all day is mentally draining. But you know what? I'll take being mentally drained over having my body completely fall apart by 50 because of the toll my job took on it. Being an engineer is in no way harder than any blue collar job I've ever seen.

Edit: And also, if you're mentally exhausted after reading for 10 minutes... that's not normal. Have you been tested for things like dyslexia? Could be that you have some kind of processing disorder that makes it difficult to read.

Always hilarious when someone who posts an AITA thread gets defensive when people tell them that they are, in fact, the asshole. Not sure what you expected, bud.

Every time I deleted my comments, some of them came back. It was always different comments that came back. My best guess is that they have a distributed database, and it has federation problems, so records deleted on one instance still appear on another.

Except Musk is a fraud, and the "boring tunnels" are shiny deathtraps that cities are scammed into investing in at the cost of things like better public transportation infrastructure.

Musk is not a hero. He's a narcissistic billionaire with delusions of competence.

If your "conservative / right wing opinion" is that austerity measures are a good thing, then the most generous interpretation of that is that you're just a moron. As it turns out, though, today's "conservative / right wing opinions" are way worse than that. Things like "trans people aren't people". Or "we should do a treason". Or "bribing supreme court justices is totally fine". If you hold any of those opinions, the most generous interpretation of that is that you're evil. And probably also stupid. That is the MOST generous interpretation, mind.
