psydude posted:America's Army was great until version 3 when they completely redid the game and ruined it. To this day, it's the best-made piece of government-produced software that I've used. Yeah 2 was pretty great at the time since basically the only thing like it was Operation Flashpoint/ARMA. 3 was loving garbage, played and looked like poo poo when I tried it. IIRC they fired all the contractors working on it the day after release and the game was basically abandoned after a couple years with nothing more than basic patches, from what I heard it had a decent core but was dragged down by everything else. Currently there's a newer game called America's Army: Proving Grounds but honestly I had it installed through Steam for like a year and never launched it. Watched some kid streaming it a while back after uninstalling it, and it basically looked like a F2P Call of Duty knockoff, I closed the tab as soon as I saw them kill somebody and CHALLENGE COIN AWARDED popped up on the bottom of the screen.

I remember playing one of them, I was doing the boot camp tutorial, got bored of listening to how to use the controls, and said "this is loving bullshit." Perfect military simulator.

Is that when they added Strykers that couldn't move anywhere? That's about when I stopped playing the game.

My old squad leader was an instructor in the game. 90% sure he was the Airborne School instructor. He also got an Army produced action figure out of the deal.

I guess trump junior has fled to canada to try avoid indictments or something? He does know that canada just arrested a top china company executive and is going to hand her over to the states right? I love how the trump family are all as stupid as the patriarch

https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1071566534437421056 The Cohen sentencing would be damning for any other president but GOP voters could give a poo poo about campaign finance fraud when it's one of their own. Honestly think the only way to actually chip away at his 40% base of support is to pull back the curtains on his taxes and business practices and tear down his image as a savvy businessman. Show everyone in excruciating detail how little he actually has, how much groveling and wheeling and dealing he's had to do to get out of his bankruptcies, how he's exploited his employees and contractors. All of it's 'public knowledge' but the MAGA crowd has never been forced to face and acknowledge it head on. For a historical analogy, everyone 'knew' Nixon was a crook but it wasn't until you had the White House tapes released and the President's own voice getting played on TV and the radio that his supporters finally faced up to the fact and began turning on him.

The difference is that this time around they have built their own echo chamber. No matter what Mueller does, Fox and the rest of that ecosystem are going to minimize it. And then Trump will continue to call the network news fake and the base will eat it right up. As long as this arrangement continues to work, the rest of the Republicans can't seriously challenge Trump since there is no other Republican electorate left. So unless something drives a wedge between these groups, and it won't because they all feed from the same money trough, there's no way Republican voters turn on Trump.

BaconAndBullets posted:The biggest shocker I've dealt with is counterintelligence people who support Donnie doing cheetah flips trying to explain how colluding with Russian actors isn't all that bad. Our job is to literally detect, identify, exploit, and neutralize foreign collection, sabotage, and influence operations against the US government. Also these people thinking that it was so offensive that a FISA warrant was put on multiple people in Donnie's sphere, despite those requiring a lot of levels of approval and an unbelievably high level of proof the individual is an agent of a foreign power. When I worked in a CI office as an analyst probably half the CI dudes were Trump lovers, and one or two would probably legit believe in QAnon poo poo if it had existed then. The other half were chill and professional.

Hannity starts dropping references about how he always thought there was something suspicious about it. Opinion columns in the WSJ decry that actually, Jesus Was No Angel. Social media is mysteriously inundated with thousands of identical posts of people tearing down Christmas decorations and boycotting nativity scenes. Within a week, Christmas is and always has been a wacky fringe holiday for liberal SJW snowflakes to whine about how you shouldn't mistreat immigrants and middle easterners.

One thing I like about working with logistics folks as the S4 is that the logistics branch is mostly immigrants and minorities so we can bullshit about whatever dumb, crazy bullshit Trump or Republicans have been spewing. My scout platoon on the other hand was full of Trump loving MAGA chuds.

This is always something I have never been able to get my head round in regard to fundamental Christians, Jesus basically was a socialist agitator working to bring down the establishment and hated the rich and all you hear is "buy me a new Lear jet FOR JESUS SAKE". Well that and him being a blonde haired, blue eyed Aryan rather than a swarthy son of the desert.

"Republican Jesus" isn't a joke. Between prosperity gospel bullshit and Fox talking points the "Christianity" professed by the majority of Trump worshipping chuds is exactly what the bible itself warns against.
