I realize that, but I just can't understand why it's coal of all things. Am I missing some cultural context here?

Like Cile said it's about optics. The tiny little segment of the population that works in rhe coal industry are what the Republicans have been pushing as real Americans because they're White, Christian, and eat up Fox News talking points. They also can't ever get enough coal company dick down their throats fast enough despite the absolute disregard those companies have shown multiple generations of their family.

Fixing roads costs money and people don't want to pay their taxes even when infrastructure is getting dangerously worn down. We're coming up on the 10th anniversary of the I35W bridge collapse and people have pretty well forgotten what happens when you get cheap with infrastructure.

lol how many 20 year olds get TS clearance to do their jobs in the military? Reality Winner is looking at 10 years for leaking info that wasn't really all that revelatory, what else could even reasonably be accomplished?
Possibility: Donnie fucks up the investigation by mouthing off on Twitter and Winner gets of relatively light.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting too much from Comey. I think he's going to be muted to a degree so as not to impair Mueller's investigation.

It's Trump's reaction to it that I was/am looking forward to.
Allegedly he's going to say that Donnie pressured him to drop the investigation into Flynn but won't accuse him of obstruction.

Canoeing is 'shipping with a backwoods theme, right?
Canoeing is shooting a dead body in the forehead at an angle so it digs out a canoe shaped divot. It's a stupid practice invented by Seals. One of the idiots who claimed to be the Bin Laden killer allegedly did it to him despite being told not to shoot him in the face so identification didn't get screwed up.

This seems like something that was invented an E4 who went through basic with a guy who eventually became a SEAL and he told me it's definitely something they do, you guys.

Except nobody's ever actually done it because it's impractical and also fucks up identification.
It's been corroborated. Remember these same idiots are carrying around tomahawks.

Some dumb WARRIOR!! cultural poo poo. They might have been caught scalping people with them, that sounds familiar. Shim mentioned the tomahawk poo poo years ago before the article about how hosed up Seal culture is came out.

Edit: It was an Intercept article but not Greenwald. It seemed pretty well researched too.

A sizable portion of the Taliban grew up in Pakistani refugee camps and Afghanistan during the civil war. Mutilating a few bodies isn't going to scare them or anyone else.

Here's that article. A lot of Seals were justifying their scalpings as "collecting DNA". Allegedly that wasn't enough for one guy so he completely decapitated somebody. Where did they get an idea like this might you ask? From a stupid novel titled The Devil's Guard about a fictional Nazi who does this type of stuff in Vietnam.

I wasn't keen to beat up on Hillary after the election but her forays into public life and laying blame are going to turn people off fast. She's a lightning rod for criticism and needs to excuse herself.
