Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

This is hosed up story.

If its not registering to you because its not something attacking the Trump admin to the core then you might be the one with very narrow tunnel vision. And if even indictments of Trump insiders don't register because they're not big enough then you might have REALLY narrow vision.

That seems like exactly what I'd expect, to be honest.

I mean I expect this kind of poo poo from our regular military (and living close to several bases, see these kinds of stories fairly regularly). I guess maybe I'm just a little naive to think that the Navy Seals might be somewhat above that kind of petty poo poo. But I guess not, especially considering all the other hosed up poo poo they've been doing in Afghanistan.

I dunno it does seem like it's a pretty big deal in that it involves people who are part of America's most elite fighting forces behaving like a couple of high school dropout motor pool privates who found a way to make a quick buck.

17,250 Americans were murdered in 2016. Some dude stumbled on a criminal conspiracy, got killed, and the perpetrators have no cover story and are going to jail. I guess that's a feel good story, but it's hardly important.

Look at the age breakdown.

Any stats for the under-34 group are pretty unreliable.

Worth noting: they interviewed 550, so 3% means they asked literally 15 people under 35. Weirdos who have landlines. The real number for under 35 is probably worse. I think Moore is toast.

I don't like to do it, but sometimes I read reactions from Trump supporters when Trump does/tweet something stupid and it's awkward how much insecurity bleeds through. I guess believing in a successful buffoon gives them hope that one day they could achieve success despite their numerous flaws and failures.

Easiest way to shatter that "reality", ask them if they were born into wealth. If the answer is no, then they really have nothing in the bigly column

Question, is there any real reason that Kim doesn't try to be friends with Trump? Like, he'd probably have to actually make signals to halting nuclear and projectile development. But I feel like he could put pretty minimal effort into actually becoming friends with Trump and getting sound bites of the US President talking about how Kim is a great guy and how North Korea is great. poo poo like, how hard would Kim have to work to get Trump to poo poo on South Korea?

This is a few pages late so I apologize if someone has already mentioned this, but if NK offered to rename the Ryugyong Hotel to Trump Pyongyang or something like that, they could probably get a peace treaty signed by the end of the year.

I think Panera is meant to be a symbol of white slightly-upper-middle class suburbia, while jokes about Arby's are just about how their food sucks.

I recall "Panera moms/Republicans" being people who some thought would break for Clinton back in the halcyon days when we thought the Access Hollywood tape would turn off a significant amount of Republicans.

As the question is worded I have always been, am, and probably always will be a "yes". There are poor personal moral choices that have very little relevance to public policy.

That was during the clusterfuck of Vietnam, since the military went all volunteer in '79 this kind of thing has been almost unheard of.

Still worse than Catholics, only as good as general non Evangelical Protestants. That is to say they are the second worst option behind the people that will openly say it's ok to rape a child but bad to be a Democrat. It *is* good they are actually trending the right way though.
