May looking good what with Donnie getting his budgetary wankfest poo poo on, and facing up to the reality that is sitting at the big boys table. We are so hosed but it's still gonna be a hell of a ride.

There's a lovely gbs catchphrase that pretty well sums up what's going on with the whole clusterfuck that is the Trump white house.

another Republican house member is retiring. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who i never heard of before but she seemed like an ok person. Her son is trans and she did a PSA with him for the NC bathroom bill. Also she was the first hispanic woman in congress. And she just won her reelection a few months ago.

Hillary carried her district by 20 points.

Probably realized that the republican party was going to poo poo on her terribly if she voted the way the district wanted her to. Her district swung overwhelmingly​ Dem in the presidential election, so she was caught between party politics and representing her district.

Conservatives will hiss and boo it because HIV is Gods punishment to the gays and the druggies.

I think it is extremely cool though, and it would be amazing if we could eradicate HIV and AIDS entirely through gene therapy.

Nah, that's so last decade. Electroshock therapy can cause measurable, physical harm to people and that gets all messy with lawsuits and stuff. The current hotness for fixing 'the gay' is psychological torture rebranded as Gay Conversion Therapy. Fortunately our vice president is such a vocal and outspoken opponent of that kind of thing that there's nothing to worry about.

There's something I've never understood about Donnie. It seems like everyone around him takes on his characteristics for lying and boasting and all that poo poo, yet nobody ever tells him to go gently caress himself. Even his rich-as-gently caress cabinet members are sounding like him and I just don't understand why.

https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/859156595816714240

Like seriously, what makes you, a dude worth a legit $2.5B, suddenly take on the Trumpian characteristic of referring to the Syrian strike as after-dinner entertainment in front of a group of people, and you're the loving Commerce Secretary?

What about Donnie brainwashes the people close to him?


Edit: ok this made me laugh like hell https://twitter.com/CillizzaCNN/status/859159000696455169

Because in the Trump administration you can be a vile person and just point at the man on top and say, "well I'm just fitting in".

Odds are the dude is actually that hosed up (rich chickenhawks usually are) but in the Trump white house he won't have anyone call him on that poo poo.

I participated in an awesome seminar today - this Canadian guy had been radicalized in his late teens and went over to Syria to support ISIS. He was a supporter, not a combatant. After being there for a while he realized it was BS and he returned to Canada and offered to help their Intel services. He provided some excellent insights into what drives people to support ISIS and how they can be de-radicalized. He was very animated and funny and did a great 1 1/2 hour presentation. Since it was a VTC (I'm working in Charlottesville VA and the talk was at DIA HQ in DC) it was amusing to see the reaction shots of the crowd during the presentation - lots of scowls. "This dude was an ISIS scumbag...why is he here?" Overall, good insights into a dangerous ideology and some tips on how to fight it. I like my job. I'm not a CT guy (most of my experience in in counterproliferation/nuclear stuff) but this session got me smart on some interesting stuff.

Oh yeah, for the guy who asked me for more information on the NK nuclear issue, I served 3 years as the Chief of the WMD Intelligence Cell in USFK, so I'm pretty dialed in to all things NK nuclear. They got em, just need to get good at getting them to us.

I saw the internal memo going around offering that seminar but lmao if I was going to attend on my day off. I don't don't get paid enough to show up on my off time no matter whether I'm curious or not.

Good God my man. The idea is to not so subtly hint that you're doing Important Classified Work. "Oh, I'm an analyst specializing in nuclear counterproliferation" or "I research WMD Deterrence for the DoE." You don't just outright state it, where's the fun in that!?

I think the fuzes can only be armed by actually firing them, so the only real danger would've probably been something closer to this:

That used to really work, although they've been private proofed since. MOH citation for Beauford T. Anderson:

quote:

He displayed conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty. When a powerfully conducted predawn Japanese counterattack struck his unit's flank, he ordered his men to take cover in an old tomb, and then, armed only with a carbine, faced the onslaught alone. After emptying 1 magazine at pointblank range into the screaming attackers, he seized an enemy mortar dud and threw it back among the charging Japs, killing several as it burst. Securing a box of mortar shells, he extracted the safety pins, banged the bases upon a rock to arm them and proceeded alternately to hurl shells and fire his piece among the fanatical foe, finally forcing them to withdraw. Despite the protests of his comrades, and bleeding profusely from a severe shrapnel wound, he made his way to his company commander to report the action. T/Sgt. Anderson's intrepid conduct in the face of overwhelming odds accounted for 25 enemy killed and several machineguns and knee mortars destroyed, thus single-handedly removing a serious threat to the company's flank.

Like, how in the gently caress do you fit through doorways with balls that big? I mean yeah there's persevering in the face of intense enemy opposition, and then there's loving banging mortars on rocks to arm them and hurling into the face of a charging enemy force. Like, what the gently caress do you do after you have become the literal paragon of badassedness?
