Well on 2008. Norm Coleman acted like a gigantic bitch and tied Franken up in court for 8 monts. Mitch McConnell obstructed everything to try and make Obama a one term president. Joe Lieberman was his cunty self. Then Ted Kennedy died and Scott Brown replaced him. What little time to get something done there was got wasted by loving Turtleman, and then 2010 happened due to a combination of idiots who didn't understand the con job the Republicans had played for 2 year and idiots who don't vote in primaries.

If Donald Trump tried to kill himself would the secret service stop him cause its their duty? Can you imagine knowing your legacy is going to be that you're the most retarded president of all time by a factor of 10? I'd kill myself.

Chairman Cheeto would never off himself and will never see himself in that light. He's whole-hog narcissist all the way; thinks he's practically infallible.

The VHF is not a collision avoidance tool. Don't loving talk to me unless you have good reason to.

Asking a freighter why they made a course change that put them on a collision course with a sailing vessel broadcasting on AIS at 0300 isn't a good reason to use VHF. Got it.

And of course, voting is done secretly. As it should be. But as a consequence, half the people who say Trump's latest faux pas is a dealbreaker will still vote for him when nobody's watching. Just like they did the last time. Party above all.

I doubt the president is ever alone and unobserved long enough to OD or hang himself without someone intervening.

I mean, everyone trots them out as some sort of moral authority, but the truth is that they usually understand the geopolitical forces that lead to their kids getting blowed up on some dusty foreign road even less than their kids did when they enlisted.

I'm still not trusting midterm turnout though. Noisy tweets are just that but answering polling sure as poo poo ain't the same as putting the controller down and taking the time to go vote and that's not counting the flaming hoops that are gonna be in the way of anyone not lily as gently caress.

I just caught up to Trump's Pershing-pigs-blood comment.

Is that...a step up from him congratulating himself on calling it? I mean...it's just something incredibly dumb, but I feel like it's a little less bad than a guy being giddy about people dying so he can say he was right.

I dunno. I feel like it is citing a totally false story that's quite racist and could very easily be seen as promoting racism and anti-islamic tendencies, and possibly even war crimes at a time when the absolutely last thing he should be doing is getting anywhere near any of that. It was just incredibly impulsive and stupid and gross. There are rumors flying around rn that Kelly is resigning soon, possibly already did and is announcing it tomorrow, and I would not be surprised at all if that was the tweet that broke the Kelly's back.

The guy's an idiot who's following the yellow line on the magic box. Talking to him - if he speaks English - won't make him less of an idiot. Change course. You know, like the rules say you should do.

In five years at sea, I never once heard a collision avoidance discussion with a pleasure craft that wasn't a complete waste of time. And I've never heard a collision avoidance discussion outside of pilotage water that didn't dissolve into hilarious - but useless - screaming in butchered English. "YOU CROSS MY BOW I KILL YOU I KILL YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!" Type stuff. You've got a rudder, use it.

Don't use the VHF for collision avoidance. Unless you're RAM or NUC.

Thought that too, it's really odd. At some point there was a last name change (mother's name is Susan Bro, different last name), so I figured she's just all kinds of messed up after the funeral and being on TV.
