McNally posted:The ACW had a measurable impact on the United Kingdom, to include the disruption of the British textile industry and the direct results of that, the impact massive arms purchases from both US and CS governments had on the British arms industry, and the political impacts of support for the Confederacy from within the British government. If it's the school I'm thinking of, that's awesome and I'm a little jealous if you end up going.

The DNC has a chance to mobilize new voters and build upon the energy they're seeing from young people. Or they'll ignore them and pander to Todd the jet ski dealership owner who really reluctantly voted for Trump last time.

Yeah this really feels like a time when the DNC just needs to capitalize on the growing resentment of Boomers by younger millenials and Gen Z. Too bad all of the candidates are Boomers themselves.

LOL why would they think that an intern working with the campaign social media coordinator wouldn't have copies of emails sent? https://twitter.com/hashtag/DropOutBloomberg?src=hash Edit- for those who don't care enough to wade through Twitter hashtags: Nick Ciarelli was an unpaid intern on the Bloomberg Campaign. He gets an email asking him to hire actors to perform a silly meme like dance set to the "Moves Like Jagger" song. He films the routine and posts it. Everyone makes fun of it so the Bloomberg campaign staff claim he doesn't represent them. Dude then shares the email where he is prompted to make a video that looks like young people spontaneously broke out into dance. https://twitter.com/nickciarelli/status/1205634523850919936 Hekk fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Dec 14, 2019 |

facialimpediment posted:The 2020 election will not be a persuasion election. The 2020 Democratic primary will be, but everyone's mind is made up already on the Trump yea/nay. The 2020 general is going to be a turnout election. Exactly. The Tories didn't gain very many voters at all in the recent UK election. Rather, the Tories won because Labour collapsed. I expect 2020 to turn out similarly. Trump will get nearly the same number of votes he did last time. If we want to get Trump out, just get existing Democrats go to the goddamn ballot box. https://twitter.com/DanaHoule/status/1205591065396420608

It's at the unit commander's discretion. I've never seen those granted for 90 day rotations. I've only gotten them after 6+ month deployments. It gives the servicemember time to inprocess back into the unit, schedule mandatory mental health & medical appointments, turn in deployment gear, re-adjust to jet lag, etc. It worked out great for me, because I couldn't sleep more more than two hours straight the first week I was back from Afghanistan and I'd have just been a zombie at work otherwise.

It sounds much better defined than it was when I was in. We basically got two weeks to gently caress around locally, but god help you if you left the local area without using leave. I've never heard of a 90 day rotation, but most of ours were between 120-180. The downtime was also to make up for the ~4 months or so prior to deployment when leave was mostly prohibited because you were going to be TDY for 2-3 weeks back to back to back to back for much of it.

I spent Christmas and Boxing Day in Edinburgh one year and it was quite nice. Great culture and people. A little more refined than Glasgow, but still Scotland. Also will probably soon be a capital of a new country... so that's exciting!
