Just so we're clear I don't intend to probate more than 6 hours but reserve the right to probate for longer on my own accord.

Get butt hurt all you want about the system, I could give a gently caress.

But something needs to happen and I doubt these two would be down for just meeting in a tent at the Deid and loving/sucking it out.

I would hope his family would stop this from happening again. He'll still make millions in campaign donations until then though and once he pisses his way through this hurricane in the next couple years he can get back to doing 2020 election rallies like he loves.

He's gonna get at least 35% no matter what.

Like the things people are concerned about irt the Trump administration just do not exist to some people. They literally don't know what's going on or they see one headline at the bottom of the page about it and don't click on it. Like watch fox news for an hour with a beer, they just don't report or discuss poo poo. Like the whole timeline/justification for the reason of Comeys firing is a pretty big deal.....the right crucified the left on the benghazi timeline and all that bullshit but now their guy is switching stories and it's literally not reported. Half the poo poo CNN, Time and WaPo break don't even make it to the loving ticker on Fox news. 35% of the country loves divorced from reality in an echo chamber of their own making. As do some on the left but still. Every other bombshell story of the year gets mentioned for two mins or they just don't report it. I forget what it was but there a Twitter shot floating around with CNN and NBC breaking something important and Fox was doing weather. They don't break news they convey and stay on a message.


Further with Facebook and Google news choosing what to show you and the manipulation of data/search engines in the last election people are going to see poo poo that they want to see or that affirms their world view.

My uncle at nintendo who works on the hill mentioned that the Russians may have engaged in data manipulation at the DISTRICT level in some states. Those two or three that usually swing blue uh.... Wisconsin or Michigan or wherever Hilldawg didn't campaign. Like datamined Facebook and if you were a black Democrat female over 45 you're little news sites and Facebook would pop a bunch of poo poo about Hilary stealing money. That sort of granular data manipulation is scary...and incredibly smart.

E: and loving cheap. A half a percent of what we spend on an aircraft carrier would fund an entire cyber command or something. For the amount of influence Russia has had on the world in the last year, they are getting an excellent return on the Rubbel

Further the vice chair on Senate Intel (can't recall name currently) mentioned he asked a few heads of intelligence/security apparatuses what the US plan was to ensure this wasn't going to happen again in '18 and 20 and who was spearheading it and they all just kinda stood around and went uhhh we don't know and uh not me because it's an entirely new form of "low intensity" conflict that doesn't fit into a nice box someone can own. Is it a military issue? DoD? FBI? Homeland sec? I mean there's def an international component so....yup.

I'm drunk in an airport in Germany on Kolsch about to hop on a 10 hour flight forgive the ramble and God Bless America, Hang All Nobles.

Also visually relevant:


Mike-o posted:

Duzzy Funlop have you ever been to the Kreuzberg monastery and what do you think of their beer if you've had it?

I was confused for a second because I overlooked "monastery" and thought you were asking for my opinion on beer in Berlin :lol:

But the place is about an hour from where I used to live (and plan to live again/retire, goddamnit), and whenever a buddy of mine from the 541st went up to Wildflecken, we'd make a stop there. They have really homesy, wholesome food at their little restaurant, and a good dark lager that is one of my favorite cloister-beers. It's not as, uh..."full-mouthed" (?) as my inner circle of favorite selections, but I'd wager it'd be perfect for folks new to those cloister-style bottom-fermented beers. I keep hearing from tourists/folks PCSed there that it's the best beer in Germany, but I think that's more due to the whole experience you get there.

The entire region is incredibly beautiful, and there's nothing more rewarding than a good meal and hearty Dunkel after a nice hike around the region.

But if you want the legittest of legit selections, go to Bamberg. You'll have everything from roasted malt "smoked" beers, Guinness-esque Maerzen beers, and extremely good "regular" lagers and wheat beers. Klosterbraeu there is one of the oldest companies in the world and has a Maerzen that gives you the roasted malt taste without being as in-your-loving-face as Schlenkerla Rauchbier is. (The latter is super loving popular with tourists and exported into a gazillion countries, but if I want bacon, I'll drat well eat bacon)

/edit:

Oh, and Bamberg has more than 80 breweries in the immediate region around it, and you can get a huge part of the selection in most supermarkets in Bamberg, so you can sample the gently caress out of the region without actually biking/driving everywhere.
