The thought of a Donald J Trump Presidential Library is hilarious. Reminds me of the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too

I wish he'd come out against him hard during the election, at least after he smeared the Khans. He probably would have retained his seat too. It's unfortunate that McCain's bipartisan efforts seem to mostly be driven by spite.

Pretend my finger's a knife.
At one of the last hearings of the Armed Services Committee before the recess, Lindsay Graham declared his intention to propose an AUMF for the new president to use force to prevent North Korea from fielding an ICBM. (97-104)

The odds that we might see a nuclear detonation on the surface of the Earth in the year of our lord 2017 are getting better by the day

To be fair, North Korea successfully fielding an ICBM would probably provoke armed intervention from the ROK, Japan, and Australia in addition to the US.

The distinction was "successfully field an ICBM", not just more tests.

I'd actually be for parking some AEGIS stuff out in international waters and shooting down their rocket tests once they cross the line.

I think his point was more that the RoK and Japan are already almost certainly in the estimated range of North Korea's extant theater ballistic missiles.

Again, HOW DO YOU PEOPLE HANDLE LIVING LIKE THIS? I need to know. My therapist keeps giving me the "things will work out somehow" spiel. Am I supposed to get a therapist that magically makes me afraid of death far more than living in hell? Am I supposed to keep on going like nothing is wrong? The only reason I don't go out and create some sort of "voluntary euthanasia for everyone because climate change will collapse society" group is because I'm afraid of being institutionalized.

I just don't understand. People keep saying "we're all going to die, we're all going to suffer, etc", but the minute I bring up euthanasia I'm the crazy one. Why is it insane to prefer a complete lack of everything to pure pain 99% of your day?

Sorry for the rambling, I am trying to figure out what the hell I am supposed to do with my life that still magically allows me to be an introverted video game and internet afficionado. Even if it's an impossible task

Mr. Goodlatte defended the action in a statement issued Monday evening, saying it would strengthen ethics oversight in the House while also giving lawmakers better protections against what some members have called overzealous efforts by the Office of Congressional Ethics.

So this is what it's like to live in a dying democracy. Words mean nothing, truth is whatever words gently caress over the other guy and crushing the opposition to grab power is all that matters. Seriously starting to believe this is the beginning of the end for the republic. Sure it's gonna drag on in some form but jesus gently caress with people like this writing the rules for themselves I don't see a way towards any positive future at all.

it's also worth noting they had reagan, bush, bush w, and now trump, so it's a little more than a bad presidency or two
