I just want to point out the grenfell fire was political while the fire was still raging. The council was being held to account from the very start with no time to try and close ranks and outmanouver the public. The degree of public anger meant other councils were forced to publically admit the shady building stuff that had gone on other blocks and dangerous cladding being removed at a cost that would absolutely not be being bared by them if there was attempt to do that now. The momentum for all that has led to a spotlight on the longstanding neglect of social housing in the UK and that can only be a good thing. In the white hot heat of anger following these evens is exactly the right time to be talking about the situation that led to it imo

I was wondering what came from that. Nothing has been in the US press since the week it happened. I don't even know how many casualties came from it. Other than way too loving many.

That, and I want us to stop returning Israel's calls unless they make some big changes.

The biggest change being they need to stop returning our calls until we get rid of the Nazi sympathizing Russian puppets in the executive branch.

well yeah, but why is ted cruz posting it (sarcastically?) in a thread about getting soda spilled on him?

It isn't sarcastic. He writes in that script a lot for some reason.

Oh good. We've found out how he's going to prove that he's good at military stuff and forget about the dead soldier phone calls. Also, I like the part where he's floating the idea of a pre-emptive surprise attack as a trial balloon. Nice touch.

That craven toady posted:

“And he said to me, ‘What do I say’” Kelly recalled Trump asking him, before calling the families of those lost in Niger.

“I said to him, sir, there’s nothing you can do to lighten the burden on these families,” Kelly continued. “But let me tell you what I tell them, let me tell you what my best friend, Joe Dunford, told me, because he was my casualty officer.”

“He said ‘Kel, he was doing exactly what he wanted to do when he was killed. He knew what he was getting into by joining that 1 percent.’”

Kelly was the source of the "He knew what he signed up for line." Kelly was the loving source. It's a terrible thing to say to a widow even before Trump twisted it up. And now Kelly is complaining about someone overhearing it instead of resigning in disgrace. I'm glad I never had to salute that rear end in a top hat. I'd have to consider chopping my hand off.
