Not only did one of the helicopters crash, but IIRC it crashed into a tanker C-130 that was parked on some impromptu airfield in the desert, causing it to explode and killing a couple of the guys on board. Afterwards everyone sadly got back into their helicopters and just left lol

God the 2009/10 elections hype was loving bonkers as for a good 12 months people treated Sarah Palin like she was some potential kingmaker or shaping up to become the party leader before it turned out she was literally too dumb and lazy to even do the simplest grift.

I wanted to make a joke about Palin, unlike Trump, being undefeated because of her biography film, The Undefeated. Googled to make sure that was the title and saw it was made by... Steve Bannon.

Probably not too dumb, being openly stupid, even extremely stupid, is absolutely part of the appeal. Saying stupid things triggers the libs, you see.

I think she's too lazy and unambitious. She wants recognition and power, but doesn't have a pathological need for control/attention like Trump. Trump would never resign a governorship, even if he hated the job and everything to do with it.

Too difficult to answer as Palin's principle trait is her dumbness. A smarter Palin is as impossible to conceive as a more decorous Trump, it's just the main thing that she is

If you're asking if the tea party could have had the kind of cult-like following as Trump back in 2008, that answer is no because Trump is purely a reaction to Obama's complete failure combined with the racist elements who never supported him. In 2008 the best which could be marshaled would have been the racists and the petite bourgeoisie of the tea party but not the downwardly mobile middle class who eventually came to see Obama as a grifter (and who gave the election to Trump)

If I had a billion dollars and no social conscience (the billion dollars might just kill the social conscience anyway) I'd spend a whole lot of it making my body suck less. All the plastic surgeries, all the elective surgeries that could theoretically make me look or feel better. All the personal trainers, exercise equipment, you name it. Why stop at the dick?

If I can't be the physical superior of my fellow man than all that money is useless. There are severely diminishing returns on the hedonic treadmill after a certain amount of wealth.

If you do not have a gnawing sense of inadequacy at your core this consideration may be alien to you

Yes, use all that wealth to try to improve yourself (and inevitably fail because it will never be enough because that gnawing sense of inadequacy is a psychological issue rather than a physical one).

Or save all that effort and use it to demean others so you can feel superior instead, a lot less effort that way.

Yeah but people don't find it as hot when you do the second thing. with infinity money you can convince people to have sex with you, but you can't pay them to find you physically attractive, and you certainly can't demean your way to being hot either

The objectively correct solution is to use your billions to enact the "poisonous dick-shrinking malt liquor" plan from Black Dynamite, IRL. In the land of micropeens, regular peen guy is king!

I mean, if you're a billionaire, you're already a villain anyway. Why be half-assed about it?

Obama Doesn't Owe This Country poo poo:

quote:

Barack Obama is not your Magical Negro. I know y’all want him to be, but you have to give the man a break. He just got out of one of the most abusive eight-year relationships imaginable. I’m sure he needs some time to decompress.

There is this thing white people do where they invoke Obama’s name and say he is the one who needs to come forward and speak out against Donald Trump. He is the one who needs to condemn the things Trump is doing. He is the one who needs to save us from a demise of our own making. Why?

...

Think of it this way: Obama had an eight-year contract to be the CEO of a large corporation. Said corporation has a rule that once CEO contracts are up, there are no extensions and no renewals. He can never be CEO again, so he leaves at the end of his contract, and they replace him with someone else. The new CEO is a bumbling idiot prone to childish outbursts on social media who is burning the company down to the ground. The corporation is now expecting Obama to come in and save the day. For free.

His old job is literally expecting him to come back and fix the fuckups of his replacement for free, just because he used to work there. Sir, please.

Well Delta was a thing for about a year prior to the event, it was one of the first missions that they attempted. Their founder, Charie Beckwith, was leading the assault element during the raid. What it did lead to though was the creation of 160th SOAR, and a joint command system for complex operations like it.
