Darko posted:And theres a real chance they did have a smoking gun because Trump is dumb, thus the obstruction. whether or not there was doesn't matter in the legal definition, it's pretty much just impeding any investigation. They were counting on Trump being dumb which he was and lucked out people around him out right refused to obey him lmao.

This dude is brave as gently caress, but even he has the sense to recognize when poo poo's getting a little too dangerous: quote:Back at the base, the cook has bacon and rice ready for us. Ghost, bored by the fire pit, picks a .223-caliber bullet off the ground and rolls the dusty copper in his fingertips. The cadences of a father-son argument between Captain Pain and Spartan rise and fall from another part of camp. Ghost leans his elbow against the arm of his chair, flicks his wrist, and lobs the bullet into the embers. A couple of postures shift. An eyebrow gives the briefest hint of disapproval. We sit silently. The cook comes by and offers a paper plate of banana bread baked by Ghost’s mother. Pop! The bullet explodes. The cook jumps—”Jesus!”—and a puff of ash covers me. These militia nuts are loving morons in so many ways.

The article goes into how cops will just roll right up and give them an "attaboy" because they ultimately view them as allies. It's super hosed. e: vvv that's my overwhelming takeaway, they're literally just cosplaying. this is adult right wing nutjob cosplay WampaLord fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Apr 20, 2019 |

Come the gently caress on These people are grown men who never outgrew a juvenile's understanding of "mascunlity" but are now old enough to buy guns and have the means to do so. It's a huge game of pretend taken to the extreme.

Tatsuta Age posted:What's wrong with mj clara jeffrey is like the ultimate totally out of touch liberal clinging to the past also they have hilariously awful labor practices for a nominally progressive publication, it took a huge amount of pressure to get to the current wages for their interns. it used to be 0, but now it's merely less than 30k a year in San Francisco or New York, still far below a living wage and, as mentioned above, their quality level seems to have decreased a lot over the years.

I am traveling light. Unlike the others, I don’t view southern Arizona as a war zone, so I didn’t put steel plates in my chest rig. Next to everyone else’s commando-style AR-15s, my Ruger Mini-14 with a wood stock is slightly out of place. But everything else is square—I’m wearing a MultiCam uniform, desert tan combat boots, and a radio on my shoulder. I fit in just fine.

If you don't laugh at this shitworld we're stuck in, and more importantly, yourself, you will go absolutely crazy. It's a shield. I apologize if I came off uncaring or calloused, but it is a defense against the absurd stupidity of this place.

Yeah no worries, I agree with y'all, I'm just feeling especially down lately and seeing poo poo like this, which was clearly a major problem even before Trump's presidency, does not help. I'm also looking at this poo poo and thinking about how a bunch of my family that I rarely see anymore probably doesn't see any problem with it. That's even more horrifying. I might be the only person in my family outside of my mom that even gives a poo poo. I don't really know how to process these feelings anymore.

Booourns posted:People on these forums have been talking about how bad fox is for the country for as long as these forums have been online, and this is the first time there's been a president that literally gets their marching orders from them People outside of this well intentioned echo chamber on SA and liberal Twitter (both of which I am very much a part of) just don’t get it. Suzanne Scott is a friend of a friend, and when she was promoted at Fox News, my network of very liberal friends was falling all over themselves congratulating for “breaking the glass ceiling” and such. It was nauseating.
