I sucked a dick for bus fare and then I walked home.

Flynn wants to make an immunity deal and they aren't taking his offer?

Usually means they don't need his testimony... The implications are obvious.

Nah.. That guy is a gigantic bag of fucks and should be called out because he is every possible cliche of SJW bullshit that you can imagine.

If people want to give veterans an extra leg up then they can and should. Bitching about it makes you an insufferable cock.

Edit: To add on.. What he was bitching about apparently was a passenger gave up his better seat. So he is effectively throwing a gigantic bitch fit over some random person being nice to someone else because that person was in the military/a veteran.

I'm currently a student at Drexel and a member of the vets club. The group's FB page is about 60/40 between the Angry Facebook Veterans(tm) and the free speech people.

I've had no interaction with this professor and I stopped going to vets meetings, but personally I've never had a single negative issue with being a vet at this school.

Also for what its worth I think the guy is a massive toolbox.

Buuut he has all these medals and served his country!

Really doesn't change the fact that he is so insane he got kicked out of leading an agency. You never get removed from leadership positions that high up unless you are turbofucking awful. Its normally a quiet resignation.

"General Flynn certainly has a story to tell, and he very much wants to tell it, should the circumstances permit."

Translation: Flynn has been making GBS threads his pants with fear of prosecution for the whole foreign agent thing for a while now, and things are finally heating up enough that maybe someone will be desperate enough to pay big bucks (figuratively speaking) for his big wet fart.

Hopefully I'm wrong. It's been a cynical week.

“As far as paying players, professionalizing college athletics, that’s where you lose me,” Swinney said. “I’ll go do something else because there’s enough entitlement in this world as there is.”

iirc Dabo Swinney and his staff at Clemson pocketed like $14m in bonuses after winning the championship. can't pay players tho.

Maybe they can do it like Disney did with Star Wars extended universe. Only a few basic types of medals will remain canon and the majority aka useless lovely ones are classified as military 'legends', exiled to discussions in the smoke pit.
