skylined! posted:I can't find any word on any repercussion or movement since Pompeo defied the subpoena for state department docs; does anyone know what's going on with that? i believe it was a document request and congress served a subpoena for them to belt-and-suspenders it after the request was refused, but presumably they'll move to enforce it in court later. their current strategy, however, is to not allow administration stonewalling on one subject to delay anything else, so they're moving full speed ahead on getting all the employees on record

The Super-Id posted:What do you think the odds of getting Trump onto a hot air balloon unaccompanied are? We already know he's a afraid of stairs, and him always holding another world leader's hand or using a stair master would look weak, so it's the next obvious step. Ideally whoever convinces him gets him to wear a crinoline suit too.

The father is absolutely a douchbag from what I have seen Ate My Balls Redux posted:What about the kid who went on live national TV and said "you told me to stay hidden" or whatever He specifically said "we were doing it for a show" because the dad was some kind of inventor/ would be reality tv star. It's why he made the hot air balloon UFO thing in the first place. The kid seemed genuinely confused and scared, and probably was extremely worried about coming out because dad as mentioned before, is a dickhead They were testing the balloon for a show, but they genuinely thought their kid was in a run away balloon, and the mother is on the phone call with 911 absolutely hysterical with grief for like 30 minutes, and they ended up calling the news and the other places because the 911 operator kept putting them on hold It's an entirely hosed up situation all around, and I really hope the mother and her kids got away from it TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Oct 15, 2019 |

InsertPotPun posted:They were letting children go hungry for less than $2.50. This is what's crazy to me - at my schools you had a lunch account and it could go into the negative, which happened to me a few times, but you still got your food when that happened. They'd hound your parents about it if the negative balance went below a certain amount but they never let kids go hungry because of it.

I feel like the schools are taking too much blame for the lunch debt problem. It's the decisions made at the board level and above that cause them to be so strapped for cash that they have to do unspeakable things regarding lunch debt.

They didn't even do that, they just let us take the regular meals and expected the balance to be paid later. And this was in North Carolina, which even then was not exactly the nation's most liberal state.

TulliusCicero posted:We absolutely loving suck as a country There are very few worldwide atrocities of note that can be said the United States hasn't committed similar simulacra. This isn't to denigrate in any way the good work that many US citizens work for/towards, but the idea of American exceptionalism and righteousness (specifically when it comes do doing bad/evil/morally repugnant acts) is a complete sham and needs to die now because its one of the biggest roadblocks to effectively changing/limiting ourselves from committing the same atrocities over and over again.

Of course it's still our fault for abandoning the Kurds in the first place.
