If we get lucky Shinin' Diamond Joe Biden will run, although honestly I've been hoping after his terms as VP he would go to Vegas and do a stage show where he sings the standards and between songs tells stories of his political adventures to the crowd

I was talking with a friend who is a cop last night and he made the very rational and obvious point that "you have to gently caress up pretty bad to be in a position to be shot by a cop". Pretty sure that someone said that in D&D and was proven to in fact be the literal reincarnation of Adolf Thurmond. That Adolf Thurmond is me, for I am friends with a law enforcer

Happy Thanksgiving friends may everyone get excessively drunk and slam a fat pig :)

D&D seems like the kind of place where you'd find someone that would argue the state of Israel's actions since it's inception retroactively justifies the Holocaust

I also imagine they have a creed they recite every day before firing up their internet of "I AM A SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR. THE INTERNET IS MY BATTLEFIELD. MY KEYBOARD IS MY KATANA. MY FEDORA SIGNIFIES MY PLACE IN THIS WARRIOR CLASS" before donning their scarf and smashing the proletariat

Theoretical physics, so they're well versed in concepts that are heavily imagination and speculation based which should translate well to make believe defense topics such as not letting politicians make combat theater decisions, not handing out inflated defense contracts for stuff we don't need and whether there is a way to avoid dumping another trillion into Iraq. Like theoretical physics I am sure they will rightly conclude that all those things are "not yet possible" but "maybe happening in another dimension"

Phoenix cop shot dead an unarmed black man during a scuffle yesterday. Reports are the dead man was just trying to take his grandmother's pain medication to her and had a bright future ahead of him and was maliciously gunned down solely for the color of his skin. Or he was a drug dealer who fled and resisted arrest and didn't comply with any commands from the officer. Probably the former though, he was black.

I'm reading the book "Dirty Wars: The World As A Battlefield" about the GWOT and CIA/SOCOM misadventures, it comes back to lawmakers deciding stuff like "is it legal under US law to drone this foreign combatant designated a terrorist in a sovereign nation?" I will never understand our nation's obsession with justifying poo poo like that as "legal" or "illegal". May Freddie Mercury bless us with total war, namaste.

I'm just curious how the administration and its supporters are going to condemn John Yoo, etc. When you have Jeh Johnson on your team. I met him. Listening to his excusing the drone policy made me physically ill. Plus he was kind of an rear end.

But, you know...Harvard Law.

I'm just baffled that laws are brought in to the equation in the first place. I understand why it's done, but my brain starts to just shut down when I think about it in depth. If you're using drones to strike people in sovereign countries, sometimes without their permission, how is coming back to "Well it's legal under US law" a valid point, unless US law is "We will do whatever we want whenever to whomever". Which I wish we'd just come out and say instead of all this bullshit rigamarole.

Did Jeh Johnson helpfully explain why it's totally cool to drone to death US citizens? I'm sure he had a good reason.

The first part (striking people in sovereign countries maybe without the country's permission) has to do with international law/concept of a nation-state; as far as US law is concerned it falls under external armed conflict and as such US law doesn't really give a poo poo about it* as long as you aren't doing way out there poo poo like torture (lol).

The second part (whether or not it is legal to strike those individuals, particularly when it comes to US citizens) has to do with restrictions we choose (in theory) to place on ourselves with regard to how we use armed force as an instrument of state power.

God this poo poo is gay nuke everything

I wish our leaders would just have a press conference on a carrier deck where the President comes out chomping on a cigar and says "gently caress y'all, 'Merica!" then does some bitchin' donuts in a fighter jet and takes off and JDAMs a wedding to clarify our foreign policy to the rest of the world

Also yeah Jeh Johnson's logic is legitimately scary. Taken to the logical conclusion it basically is "the executive can kill anyone they want, anywhere they want, based on criteria determined solely by the executive without any Congressional oversight; the target having US citizenship changes nothing about this process."

This one always got to me, it's opening the pandoras box of awful stuff. Are there US citizens abroad doing not cool stuff detrimental to our nation? Sure. But fuckin' waxing them, that's the proverbial bridge too far for me. All floods start out small, it's opening the door to progressively worse things and we have to rely on our elected officials not to gently caress up the judgement calls and that right there is a horrible thing. I feel like that video footage of Bush on the links should have an Obama counterpart where he says "Now watch this Predator drone footage"

My Grammpy was 3ID and spoke Kraut, Dago and Frog so they put him in the rear to help clean up and translate with all the locals. He brought home a lot of Nazi stuff that he probably wasn't supposed to. Apparently he took an ice pick to the head in a bar fight after the war and was even more hosed up after that, and when you start off 100% Italian you're pretty hosed to begin with. He then went on be an alcoholic who beat his kids in proud Italian American tradition.

Honestly I am baffled that anyone would say "Tell me this is propaganda, this isn't confirmed by multiple sources is it, this is just a piece to further incite anger against ISIS?" Is your loving head so far up Hamid's sand pounding hole that the response is to try and rationalize away this might not be the truth, because God loving forbid the name of ISIS be dragged through the mud. The group that is on the regular murdering, raping and being reprehensible, the group that has raped God knows how many women and children, killed scores of men for having the audacity to be over the age of 12 and male in a town they just rolled in to, and somebody wants to say "This child raping thing, this is propaganda, right?" If your response to this poo poo is anything other than "gently caress these people, why are we not doing everything to exterminate them" then eat a loving bag of Thai lady boy AIDS dicks.

There's no abandoning our humanity to stating "gently caress ISIS, we should exterminate these dudes". They are reprehensible, there's no way around it, and a report or two being false just means that out of the 192 atrocities alleged against them three were incorrect. It'd be great if we could rise above or whatever but as a species we've stacked the deck so goddamn much against ourselves that it's not unreasonable to think "We're hosed beyond repair"

I vote for nuke everything because the Earth has another 4 billion years before the sun goes out and it would only take two million or so for the damage of nukes to repair/make it like we hadn't been here. Give something else a chance to do better than we did, or whatever.
