I spent a half hour looking for the photo of Bush receiving this note while at a NATO conference in Istanbul, because I remember the contrived PR moment so distinctly. But alas, nothing from Google.

I wonder how long that McDonald's sat there before the athletes arrived. That stuff has a shelf life of about 10 minutes before its taste and texture just completely transforms into something like cardboard.

Wasn't this because of a strike by White House staff or something

Originally it was because of the shutdown.

But then Trump got mocked for it so he doubled down and served fast food to another sports' team anyway even after the shutdown ended and he had full staff again.

In the early days of the 2003 Invasion in Iraq, when pro-war propaganda was out of control in America and tv pundits were waxing poetic over footage of missiles, Pvt. Jessica Lynch was captured in an Iraqi ambush but not before she reportedly went down shooting in a blaze of glory like some kinda ultra idealistic patriot from an action movie--- except even then it seemed to contrived to be true and oh hey turns out that it was

Formerly-rampant human-coded AI with a sense of humor seeks bipedal oxygen-breathing cyborg for serious relationship in the galactic core. I've got cool guns if you like to break stuff. No yuppies.
before people outside of wisconsin knew sheriff david clarke was a nutjob he used milwaukee county sheriff's dept funds to take out radio ads encouraging people to buy guns and shoot whoever bothers you because the cops would likely never show up and everyone just accepted this as a normal thing for someone to say and do. and then like two years later he killed a baby. Oops!

I wanted to understand more about the Dukakis tank thing and ended up finding this great write-up about it:

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2013/11/dukakis-and-the-tank-099119

The caution usually came when some type of costume was involved, and the tank ride is still to this day invoked anytime politicians decline to put hats on their heads—as President Obama did earlier this year when he was handed a Navy football helmet but refused to try it on. (“You don’t put stuff on your head if you’re president,” he said. “That’s politics 101.”)

Really entertaining read.

Chris Kyle claimed that he set up a sniper nest in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and shot countless survivors, cementing his heroism.

Oh apparently he's quoted in the new CoD game.

That whole campaign in 2016 for Stein voters in swing states to "trade" their vote with Hillary voters they never met in non-swing states, probably the dumbest version of tactical voting.

When the election was happening, I decided to go to sleep instead of staying up all night shitposting because it looked like really boring election and everyone was so certain that Hillary would win. Waking up and seeing Trump's mug with "Winner" text under it was pretty wild.
