He also uses lowercase and uppercase more or less randomly - look at "HeRe" and "FRieNDS"

All of his Rs and Ns are uppercase. That's unusual but at least consistent.
His Os are all over the place, though.

I mean, aren't -all- of our submarines nuclear-powered?

I'm aware that this doesn't mean they carry nuclear tridents missiles, but does Trump know that? Even if he was told the difference in a briefing, would he know?

I think we still have a handful of diesel attack subs but I'd have to double check. Not like we're getting into conflicts where attack subs are of much use but still.
e: nope, wikipedia says they're all nuke powered

Is this as bad as it looks to me? Like this looks even worse to me than the Israel Intel thing. He basically just also told North Korea that we just parked nuclear weapons close by them. I don't know how much of a secret it was though. In any case he was clearly bragging to duterte to impress him exactly like he did with the Russians and for the same reason.

We talked about it earlier and if they're SSBNs then it's very, very bad but all our subs are technically "nuclear subs" because of their powerplants so it could just be a couple of random subs with a carrier group. So it's either "holy poo poo gently caress" bad or just regular "Trump is dumb" bad.

Don't you rag on 4. 3 was pretty awful, but 4 had some great characters and moral bleakness that should permeate any civil war setting. Game spoilers: The Bad Guy had a totally good reason for starting being bad. The Good Guys are following the footsteps of a baby-murdering rear end in a top hat. The 'Good' Good Guy is a religious nutcase who consigns his neice (I forget if Sabal and the girl whose name I can't remember are related) to religious forced child marriage if he wins. The 'Grey' Good Guy Who's A Gal is a loving psycho who literally conscripts children to continue fighting their civil war while turning Kyrat into a narco-state.

Don't get me wrong, I like 4, but the plot was pretty heavy handed.

So under the top story is one about Trump's approval ratings dropping and increasing public support for a special counsel to investigate the Russia connections. Next to that is an article that discusses how a bogus document leaked by the Russians affected the Clinton email investigation, and that article also brings up the Russian spies discussing how they could use Manafort and Flynn to influence Trump.

Anecdotally, but Montana fiancee reports that she heard from a fair few people at work today that they hadn't intended to vote, but were now going to do so in order to try and ensure Greg doesn't win. She's in Bozeman so it's a liberal stronghold anyway, but given that Dems usually use because of GOTV failures, could be something? Depends on how the early voting has gone though.

They're more aggressive than bears, weigh up to 200 lbs, like to live near farms, and kill 4-5 people a year. They have no natural predators and can shrug off even large caliber handgun rounds to the skull. Not the world's greatest menace, but pretty bad.

Bears, except polar bears, are generally pretty chill as long as they aren't hungry/have cubs nearby/are injured. The big threat from them is that they're big and an animal the size of a microbus can gently caress you up without realizing it.

I know this is a derail (but, to be fair, one of our more fascinating ones)

But

Why, long ago, did we look at these creatures and think "those, those are the animals I will herd in large numbers and keep near my house to eat."

Edit: I'm sorry. I've always really liked pigs but I think this is the first time I've really taken to heart that they're more dangerous than bears. Maybe over a year of Trump has made me soft in the head but this is really messing me up tbh

They're hardy, eat anything, and they have a lot of meat. It's the perfect mix of characteristics for domesticating livestock to slaughter.
Also they were apparently domesticated like 10,000 years ago so they probably cared more about having something that could take the stress of living alongside hunter gatherers in the process of converting to agriculture

Don't let the anger and disappointment get to you; use it to hold these people's feet to the fire! They want you to give up and assume nothing matters, because cynicism and apathy is exactly what helps them win.

But Trump's numbers are in the mid to high 30 and don't show any evidence of rising (even something like the baseball shooting didn't help him); Mueller's investigation is happening apace; the American people loathe the AHCA and, if reports can be believed, the coalition to vote for that piece of poo poo bill is fractious.

Stop giving up so easily. We're still more that a year out from the midterms. That's plenty of time for more of Trump's incriminating tweets evidence of collusion to come out, and for his incompetence to bite him in the rear end. We're rapidly approaching a debt ceiling crisis that there's no evidence that the congress will even be able to address meaningfully. This is far from over, and I'm just saving up that anger so that I can express myself by my ballot in November of 2018.
