So what is this the second time we've elected a president who was actively suffering from alzheimers?

Well there's a decent excuse to be had for the first time around. His voters just voted in an rear end in a top hat to cause untold damage to the country for better than half a century and counting, the Alzheimers was apparently not noticeable at first.

With the hate mango it was pretty god drat apparent right from the start so we don't get that excuse.

I'm starting to think of this as a civil-cold war (cold-civil war?)

Both sides view each other as the mortal enemy, letting it come to actual bloodshed would be awful for the world even if freedom technically wins in the end, both sides see the other as misguided, etc. lot of parallels but now being fought with memes.

2016 cured me of any sort of 'ironic' hate speech because it became reality. I grew up in the era of anonymous internet where absolutely no one used their real name. That's changed though in recent years and so you have this weird mixture of some people being anonymous and some people using their real identity on social media. Anonymous people saying "hitler did nothing wrong" isn't as funny now that people are saying it on social media page of actual minorities.

I feel left out that I have no kills to my name. We did once unload a dead dude on the pier in Jamaica. Which thanks to a gently caress up by the bridge had about a thousand passengers on it rather than them being held back ten minutes so they didn't have to see a gurney being wheeled out :lol:

Would have loved a few lines about exactly how badly the administration hosed itself by trying to throw Rosenstein (the one dude in the justice department who could hurt them especially bad since the elf recused) under the bus, and how Mueller is one dude they don't want around.

That and the super well crafted appointment letter.

Maybe I'm just too optimistic but I felt all of that was tongue in cheek. I'm optimistic about all you dudes because I like our dumb little forum and I "know" you guys I guess.

Maybe my own perception is coloring things but I feel for the most part we're a small forum of self hating vets who skew more towards the center-left unlike mostall other internet military forums.





HEY I HAVE A CURRENT EVENT TO TALK ABOUT

http://www.theolympian.com/news/local/article151097417.html

A foot was found in the Puget Sound literally a couple miles away from me. I guess you could say it's not that interesting because it was probably a suicide or whatever. But this poo poo has been happening in Washington and British Columbia for the past decade or so. A bunch of feet keep washing up on shore from Vancouver to Seattle to Tacoma and now all the way at the southern end of the Puget Sound in my town. Shits weird man.

Oh definitely. But they're right in that there was so much to cover, it would take the whole show to cover it, even at the barest glance, and they did what they could. It's been a massive week, and I think they did a decent job given what they had, and that to most people they have to explain why it's important.

Anyways... still kinda wanna see that TSA piece because from what I know it's a shithole and needs massive reforms - but it's costing a lot for a lot of security theater.

Turkey just recalled their ambassador to the US over the "aggressive action" of protestors towards Edrogan's bodyguards.

The Turkish account of the story is that the protestors started violently attacking a Turk and the bodyguards response (including kicking old dude in the face on the ground) was entirely in self defense.

So Donnie toured a new facility in Saudi that is the "Global Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology". Here's that picture:

Flynn's doing the best thing for himself, as the fifth doesn't actually imply guilt. There's a feeding frenzy starting, Flynn offered to testify with immunity, he didn't get it from FBI/Congress, so he won't testify.

Unfortunately for Donnie, everyone THINKS the fifth implies guilt and there's poo poo like this out there: https://twitter.com/GenFlynn/status/745944681331122180

So now, Flynn's interests are not Donnie's interests.
