I'm not even joking: polls from before 2003 listed the airforce as the most important service, whereas polls after 2003 listed the Army. So hosed up nobles probably view this as a good thing.

If it wasn't for Iraq we wouldn't have had the new GI Bill, and we would all still be in and miserable on our 4th wife / 5th kid or otherwise working a job that requires a nametag. I mean, on the other hand there's like 3T in expenses and thousands of souls but hey at least I got to go to college.

It's actually the USMA alumni association that gives the award, so only the cool-aid-iest of the cool-aid drinkers.

First UK exit poll is out from the BBC. https://twitter.com/britainelects/status/872921264205201409 That's a clusterfuck and a hung parliament if it turns out to be true. https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/872921910178308096 In other words, Theresa May hosed up very, very badly. https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/872923045865951233 facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Jun 8, 2017 |

Duzzy Funlop posted:Someone tell me what the best outcome Tories hoped for was They were hoping for a massive increase in their Commons majority (reduces the threat of any backbench rebellions by MPs), instead the Exit Poll has them losing the majority and a really weird Hung Parliament scenario where the Tories would need to reach a working agreement with at least two smaller parties to be able to form a government. If those agreements break down at any point, welp Tories would be hosed

I don't think Corbyn is crazy, just idealized and unfit to run a cabinet. He's a decent bloke under some dumb ideas. On the other hand John McDonald is crazy, smart and dangerous. Like a marxist Cheney. I wouldn't trust the exit polls just yet though, they hosed up the last election pretty well.

I got the death cult avatar for defending drones, iirc. But here's the most damning quotes from the article (there are more!) quote:Onward to the Middle East, where Corbyn’s affinities are determined by whichever thug or religious sectarian can claim to be “anti-imperialist” (that is, anti-American, anti-British, or anti-Israel). He infamously called Hamas and Hezbollah “friends.” He accepted 20,000 pounds to appear five times on PressTV, the Iranian regime-funded propaganda outlet later banned in the U.K. for broadcasting the forced confession of an independent journalist (who later called Corbyn and other Westerners who appear on the network “useful idiots”). The assassination of Osama bin Laden at the hands of American special forces operators was a “tragedy.” Corbyn once invited to tea and praised as an “honored citizen” a Palestinian Islamist who claimed Jews were behind the 9/11 attacks. Indeed, Corbyn’s sympathy for Jew-haters is ecumenical: In 2015, after the Church of England reprimanded a vicar who had used social media to blame Israel for 9/11, Corbyn rushed to the cleric’s defense, stating that the poor fellow had been targeted because he “dared to speak out against Zionism.” For four years, Corbyn served as the chairman of the misnamed Stop the War Coalition, misnamed because it’s only opposed to Western-backed wars and silent (if not supportive) of those waged by Russia, Hamas, the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, and Iran’s mullahs. Not bothering to quote in all the links, but every single claim is sourced in the article.

They're a hell of a long way from the results right now. Check out the second graph here and they've hardly counted any. With the US election, I went to bed at this stage and Hillary was comfortably in front. When I woke up, Donald trump was president.
