Yo, so can someone explain to a non-American what the gently caress is up with Florida? I mean besides the old people, Cuban exiles, and a depressing amount of swampland.

It's America's wang.

Oh come on, how is anyone going to be hurt from a discharge when they drop a gun in such a way that it falls so that it's pointed directly at their face?

The state song of Maryland, "Maryland, My Maryland," was written in 1861 and the first words in the song refer to Abraham Lincoln.

The despot's heel is on thy shore,
Maryland!
His torch is at thy temple door,
Maryland!
Avenge the patriotic gore
That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yore,
Maryland! My Maryland!

During the Civil War, the forts and batteries in Baltimore had their guns pointed into the city to prevent insurrection, as opposed to into the bay to prevent attack.

Lee and the Confederate Army thought they would get a hometown welcome in the state during the Antietam campaign. There's a bunch of accounts of confed regiments singing the song when the entered the state.

gently caress you McClellan send in V corps and you shorten the war by two years.

I'm surprised Richmond never built a statue of McClellan.

You just know that means he called his local recruiter and was like "I want to be tank commander. I will command a tank." and they were like "uh.... lol that's cool, wanna enlist little boy?" and then he did and then even that didn't work out.

Fun counter-intel story:

A mentally not well person wanted to kill Army officers, so he went to the recruiter and told him that he would like to join the Army so that he can be near Army officers so that he can kill them. Recruiter turned him away and called the FBI. So this guy goes to a different recruiter and says the same thing, and the recruiter signed him up for the Army and did not alert the FBI, lol. Then the FBI gave him fake bombs and now he's in prison.

The recruiter who called the FBI received a counseling statement. The recruiter who signed up the nutjob received an AAM.

I never read much of the case. Was there proof or just he said vs she said? Also this case was her suing after he sued for defamation right?

There's a photograph of him with his hand on her rear end. His defense rested on Taylor Swift not knowing her rear end from her ribcage.

And his lawyer asking questions like "if you felt like you were being assaulted, why didn't you react like someone who was being assaulted?"


Fig. 1.1: "My hand was totally on her ribcage, honest."

He sued for defamation, she counter-sued for assault. I have no idea why the guy thought he would win.

Manafort Notes From Russian Meet Contain Cryptic Reference to 'Donations'

An actual, literal magic word sitting in Manafort's notes.

There could be a video of Putin yelling "I AM GIVING YOU ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN DONATIONS WHILE DIRECTING MY HACKERS TO ENSURE YOU WIN THE ELECTION" while shoving money into Trump's pockets as Trump drowns infants in a sink and still nothing will happen.
