I want to know how they think this should work. Should gas be free so that there is no incentive for people and businesses to try to consume less? :psyduck:

Global warming hoax fake news is the problem because MAGA. It's propaganda. It making sense is optional, and possibly even detrimental. Find a bad thing that is happening, scream and yell while pointing at the "other team". Truthiness will be conveyed and that's all that matters.

Funnily enough, "gas is free" is actually how things worked for Aeroflot in the Soviet era. They worked on the basis that there would always be a supply of fuel.

Stabbing, arson (?) and multiple homicides in Honolulu.

https://abcnews.go.com/US/multiple-police-critically-hurt-hawaiis-diamond-head-officials/story?id=68390057

Someone's trying to give Florida Man a run for his money.

Edit: multiple houses burned down and the cops think the suspect died amidst the flames, but no word on whether it was arson or a side-effect of the shootout.

According to Breitbart, (the sole news source) five years ago he cheated on his wife with a SSGT's wife.

I mean if he was only given 14 days for separation then it’s at best an other than honorable discharge. I kicked a kid out for trying to steal a M9 to murder his wife with and he got more than 14 days so I’d assume it was something other than adultery. I’ve only known one guy who was put out for adultery and he got his promotion removed and a gomor since it was faster. Think it took around 3 or 4 months to get kicked out. HCT knows that dude too. He was a perpetual fuckup as an officer, tackled the BDE Commander drunk at a dining out so the command was looking for a reason to kick him out.

On a kinda related note, one of my friends sent me this article about Vetbros and I thought it was pretty good. At the very least it made me aware of this amazing tweet:

https://twitter.com/oneminutecall/status/1215629619782701056

I used to have a friend from HS who enlisted in the Marines as an avionics tech, then when he got out, got a whole bunch of moto USMC tattoos and wearing Grunt Style shirts, drinking Black Rifle Coffee and talking about his time in service like he was crawling around Afghanistan slitting Taliban throats when in actuality he never deployed anywhere but Korea and Japan. Before I deleted my Facebook, one of the last posts I remember seeing from him was talking about watching 13 Hours with his 5 and 7 year old sons and teaching them the difference between cover and concealment while playing with their Nerf guns. For some reason, that made me sadder than a lot of other things.

My first barracks roomate in the army was the son of some air force colonel. He had huge issues staying awake, like he would fall asleep in the middle of unit evaluations when he was the guy being evaluated. He got got chaptered out like 2 weeks after getting this whole sleeve done where it looked like he had a bullet wound in his arm, and his dogtags and an american flag were coming out of the wound.

Not really related to anything except dumb guys with moto tattoos.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

He has infinite money and hundreds of recently hired staffers that need to look busy. Buying up every second of ad space regardless of state fits the bill.

The amount of money that Bloomberg spent is a fraction of the money it would cost him if Bernie took office. It's prudent financial planning.

I have known exactly one person in my life who expressed a preference for Klobuchar. Both his parents were State Department, his idea for a Fourth of July party was inviting people over to listen to the Capitol Steps, and he was utterly, utterly insufferable.
