That was basically a "please unban my twitter/facebook/instagram, don't 25th/impeach me, and don't prosecute me" hostage video.

But since it's also a concession speech, without him knowing it, he'll probably take it back tomorrow.

Remember if it’s a lawful order,it doesn’t matter if he’s insane, and if you do care...your driving a truck for the rest your life.

I'd say that it's an easy choice between ending your career and being responsible for nuclear war, but then again I've met career officers so gently caress.

Probably up to a court somewhere, but they can probably keep her out of any veterans cemeteries easily.

Not that there won't be a loving shrine built with donation money in a private cemetery somewhere.

It was more a joke but to an Air Force Major who got booted for it and I wound up having to drive trucks.

That said Snowrunner is a pretty fun game...if also frustrating as hell.

Along those lines, I'm curious if someone explained to him the whole "disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States" part of impeachment and how it would keep him from running again in 2024.

Also if I felt the need to get an army of the Potomac flag to fly here in NoVa are there any goon recommended sources that won't be funneling money to some rear end in a top hat also selling confederate memorabilia to racists?

in other news, over 4,000 people died from covid today, the highest number ever in the US. following the previous high, yesterday, of 3,915.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/01/07/covid-coronavirus-updates/

quote:

On Thursday, more than 4,000 people died of covid-19 in the United States, the first time the toll has exceeded that milestone, following a record day Wednesday of 3,915 deaths. The pandemic has now claimed more than 363,000 lives in the United States. More than 265,000 new coronavirus cases were reported, the second-highest count in a day according to a Washington Post analysis. More than 132,000 people are battling covid-19 in hospital beds, the most the nation’s health-care system has taken on.

...

Craig Spencer, director of Global Health in Emergency Medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, had just walked away from receiving his second coronavirus vaccine dose when he saw news of rioters descending on the Capitol.

He said if not for the siege on the Capitol — in addition to fatigue with news related to the pandemic — the story of the day late Wednesday might have been the record death count.

“We’re a year into this and we set a record death toll yesterday, and it’s going to be higher sometime in the next week and higher again in the coming weeks,” he said, adding: “Unlike this massive acute onslaught of insurrection … people have just gotten used to the fact that thousands of people will die.”

Is it too spicy a take to say I'd feel much more confident the inauguration would be thoroughly and brutally protected if the chuds had killed a cop?

Still glad that fatalities are limited to the side that started poo poo. I fear the bloodbath it could have been if the terrorists actually got their hands on congresspersons or staffers
