I just realised something: If Trump has the indecency to get himself impeached quite soon, it will set a new record of seven simultaneously living US presidents. Better get it done soon, as neither Carter or Bush 1 is likely to last much longer. Another interesting fact is that Trump is actually the 3rd oldest of the 6 currently living presidents. Bush 2 is 28 days younger, while Clinton is 66 days younger. Also, Trump's birthday is on Wednesday. Soylent Yellow fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Jun 11, 2017 |

I have a little bit of sympathy for the like four or five cabinet members in the Trump Administration who are trying to do their job and keep out of the way of the madness (Mattis, Shulkin, McMasters, Chao, ...?) but at a certain point, all they are doing is covering. Mattis can't be neutral if Donald Trump is going to endanger United States troops. At this point, there aren't many people who can play innocent with what is going on. The law enforcement community I think came to that conclusion with the firing of Comey: this isn't someone they could play along with and get there agenda pushed. And for the military community, there is probably going to be a similar revelation soon.

I think Mattis is the most defensible of anyone. He's a blood and guts general, so I don't necessarily agree with everything he'll do, and the degree to which he's eroding civilian control of the military is super troubling (Trump refusing to appoint people is very much not helping), but having an adult there who's staying out of the poo poo and would have massive credibility if he was forced to speak out is a good thing. If you want an example of a military guy handling things the wrong way, look at how McMaster has turned himself into a whore by defending Trump in dishonest ways.

Pander posted:I've been to a lot of air force bases to analyze their electrical distribution, and yeah, their focus is largely on efficiency, stability, and increased usage of renewables. It's hard to run more than about 10% of a base through solar for Reasons, but the philosophy is in place. Definitely. Larger bases like Fort Bragg or Joint Base Lewis-McChord would definitely not be able to be fully powered by solar due to infrastructure, geographic location, and numerous other issues but it's a good first step. Not to mention that the DoD is trying it's hardest to get their ships and aircraft to run on other things besides imported fuels. That's why there has been a large investment into researching biofuels and other alternatives. Trump has no clue how regional actions like Qatar being isolated will drive up costs at the DoD. No wonder the military is starting to question their support for him.

Dude's gotta choose between abandoning his career and defending the indefensible. Sucks to be him, selected in the first place by trump. Doubt that's how he wanted things to play out.

Solar power is like, loving massively huge for mitigating the tremendous risks associated with centralizing all your power generation in a few facilities and it enables you to provide a resilient source of power to small outposts without constantly ferrying in fuel.

Really the only base Trump has now are racists, idiots, and the ultra rich. Together it's a larger group than I think we'd like.

The military is completely on board with it and has been for decades. The military also likes things like solar because some other industry would find some way to get 25% of their energy generation from solar and then do 25% solar and 75% regular while the military is always up for that meaning they now having 125% available power.

It'd suck to have a career planned out, do your best, and then an orange jackass ruins everything and you struggle through best you can. I think he'll resign at some point. This is getting humiliating. I think he hoped to teach Trump right from wrong or outlast him, but that ship has sailed.

I think the main reason he does poo poo like this is because outside of his rallies, his properties are the only places where everyone worships him (because they are paid to). Remember that the man craves adulation and validation.

Does the "I'm not under investigation!" narrative conflict with the "My 'wires' were 'tapped'!"? I just wondering how long until his bullshit actively contradicts itself. I'm betting it's already starting to happen.

Apparently, a bunch of Trump supporters, and alt-right weirdos showed up to counter-protest a fake protest that a different alt-right group set up claiming antifa and BLM were going to try and remove the Sam Houston statute from a park in Houston. Guess no one told them that Sam Houston was against Secession? Thus I can't really think of why antifa would want to do anything to his statue
