I think that MBAs are useful, in case you are looking for an answer to the question of "Is lightpole a total fucking idiot".
After 70 days spent visiting pointe noire, Luanda and other authoritarian treasures I have arrived in these United States to this and I'm not even sure there are German words to express my feelings of amusement/entertainment and holy poo poo balls what the gently caress happened to cause people to voluntarily vote for this loving carnival.

He never was found during or after Mosul, so this is unsurprising. Disappointing and somewhat sad, however.

The previous vote is still open and has been for like 15 minutes because right after they close it they've got the real vote so it sounds like someone is waffling.

Quality posting direct from my brain to your face holes.
If Obama had passed a law requiring the FDA to develop pills that made every man's penis 9 inches, there would be mass bonfires of self-severed dicks across the state capitols and legislatures of the land, and Trump would personally sell his real estate holdings to set up an endowment that funds an eternal vigil of Russian hookers that bathe in piss and then leap over the dick-flames while screaming. they'd all get re-elected, too.

Pence is out of the room, McConnell is off the floor, and McCain is hugging Democrats.

He's either pulling a grand lie that'll make him the most devious and unrepentant bastard in the Senate since Strom Thurmond... or he actually stood by his principles (that have never really been backed by statistics) and flipped.

And it's looking like he flipped. I take back 25% of the bad things I've said about him.


EDIT: they're trying a five-on-one charge against Murkowski. All men, but she's got nothing to lose by bucking the White House, given her term... I don't see her flipping any time soon.

What I took away from this is that Obama wanted to shrink my dick by 2 whole loving inches.

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I've been researching the rules surrounding transgender people in the military.

As it's been already stated here, any person who is already trans is required to have fully undergone their transition and remained stable emotionally, socially, physically, etc. in their gender for 18 months.

For people who are already in the military and want to change their gender, it looks prohibitively difficult to do so. To change their gender in the DEERS system they have to:
1) Get permission from a military doctor stating that their gender reassignment is medically necessary.
2) Pass this information up and down their chain of command and get it approved.
3) Form & execute a structured, specific, time-sensitive plan with a military doctor to change their gender.
4) Get the all-clear that their gender has been changed by a military doctor, which allows them to change their gender in DEERS, which allows them the coveted position of using a new set of bathrooms.

Which is why I say the bigger question is really what to do with applicants who have already transitioned.


Well, the bigger issue for me, at any rate.

The answer to that is to screen them like normal and accept or reject them like everything else, because the medical needs that come along with it are close to or nearly nonexistent.

I keep hope Mueller drops the hammer soon so they never get the chance to repeal. Obamacare becomes single payer and outlives the GOP.
