McMaster did a classic non-denial denial. He called the story false for the sources/methods thing, but there was no sources/methods thing in the article.

So now it's down to Mattis having the only credibility left and he took a hit with the Best Korea missing carrier.

I'm more interested in the raging dumpster fire of hypocrisy. Her emails bad because they might have exposed classified information. Actually exposing classified information? gently caress you he's the president, it's not wrong when the president does it.

I mean not that it matters cause "loving 2017 lol nothing matters" but God drat....it's RIGHT THERE.

:doh: Hopefully, you'll have time to find him in jail since Sessions wants maximum sentencing again.


Man I work in addiction treatment and there are so many facilities that are Christian and all about jesus. I have the SE US and midwest so I see alot of it....the good one have real MDs that will treat you medically.

The bad one have MDs with micky mouse degrees that prescribe alot of jesus and maybe a lil suboxone or something. It's loving stupid and they just run people in and out with jesus like loving mills and bill the insurance companies outrageous prices. It's so loving dirty and I used to be in copier sales that poo poo makes ME feel grimy.

It's like running for profit prisons and poo poo I don't know I just find that kind of stuff revolting you're literally profiting off people's mental health issues and substance abuse issues*

I also just don't understand the oh throw the book at em type of drug sentence. It's like none of those people have ever talked to an addict. It's a loving disease man locking em up ain't solving the problem and the draconian measures aren't a deterent. No one
stopped shooting heroin cause they were facing a dime sentence or something.

They aren't interested in fixing the problem. They want to feed bodies into the for profit prison system so their cronies can bank off it.

Weird. It was the cover of McMaster's book herewhere he basically argued that Generals that just do what the President wants are dumb and bad and it's the responsibility of Generals to actually go against the president, at least in advice, if the President wants to do something stupid.
