That Syria article broke me when I first read it in 2012. It’s tough when you realize that history is full of examples of people saying “Oh, that can’t happen HERE!” who end up getting hacked to death by their neighbor.

Or, for that matter, we elected a president who puts out and endorses ads like this:

Right, but it works with any ayatollah. Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi...even as we post, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating their power.

At this point he has to have killed somebody. I mean in person.

Every time someone brings up how tough Trump is, I like to repost this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xu5lz4fS-Y

His response to a Bernie supporter attempting to rush the stage was to look around, panicked, and then grab the arm of the first Secret Service agent who made it to him. Trump's not a tough guy, he's a superficial bully whose eyes would widen up with fright if anyone ever physically challenged him. He can't even fire people in person. He's the guy who hides in the corner during a bar fight, and then boasts about how he kicked someone's rear end when no one was watching.

It turns out that cops think Cucker Tarlson was lying to up his talking points.

Remember though- this is the same DC police department that continues to cover for Hillary as they claim that Seth Rich was killed in a robbery gone bad instead of getting killed by the Clinton Murder Machine. It’s only logical that they would downplay this hideous Antifa assault on Tucker’s beautiful white family.

I read Fallows' article and the weather was definitely low enough that I could see them scrubbing the aviation mission. Helicopters can fly in the the clouds, but they have to be on an instrument flight plan and I doubt there is an established approach into the cemetery. That means flying from Paris to the airport nearest the cemetery and driving in.

The bigger question is why there wasn't an alternative ground movement plan in place?

There probably was a ground movement plan; I’d imagine that the Secret Service probably runs PACE into the ground. The bottom line is President Pissbaby didn’t want to go because he’s a cranky old bitch, much like how he didn’t go to Arlington because of rain that materialized hours after his scheduled visit.

The US border has become a dumping ground for everyone’s political problems. Thank you. It's true, and these are the best and the finest. When the US deploys its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing guns. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

You’re not, it’s that the Republican Party has moved away from all of those things you mentioned and is now basically a white nationalist party that eschews limited spending and taxes for MOAR MONEY FOR OUR BRAVE TROOPS DEFENSE CONTRACTORS BUT NOT ONE DIME FOR SOCIALIST THINGS LIKE ROADS OR SCHOOLS. My perspective is limited because most Republicans I know did write-in votes for Rubio over Trump and can’t stomach him personally, but he really has remade the GOP in his image, and this has energized the worst parts of society in a way that I don’t think any other Republican victory could have.

I’m really hoping that this is due to people being in disparate shelters and the accounting process hasn’t caught up yet, because the other possibilities are too horrifying to really think about.

Mere days after President Smoothbrain basically tweeted “If global warming is real, then why is it so cold? #checkmatelibs :smuggo:” his own government came out and said that not only is climate change real, but its effects are getting worse with catastrophes becoming more and more common.

Whichever species that manages to survive humanity and what we’ve done to the planet is going to write about this day and age as our “as Rome burned” moment, although they’re probably going to reclassify it as “as New York melted” or something.

I bought a new fridge recently and saw that many of the most expensive models have WiFi and app connectivity. Why the gently caress would I need an app for my fridge? What could it possibly do? If it’s not “making a cocktail so it’s ready for you immediately when you get home from work” then it just seems like a solution in search of a problem at best and probably a vector to siphon data back to the manufacturer at worst.

A friend of mine scored tickets to the National Christmas Tree lighting that happened this evening, so she, my girlfriend and I went and braved the freezing wind chill to see it. Trump came out and said maybe 20 words, 10 of which were counting down from 10 before Melania “lit” the tree, and then slouched off stage.

He sounded seriously tired and like he was phoning in his phoning it in. Melania didn’t say a word, and then they were gone. Like 70% of the seated audience left too, either because it was super loving cold or they were over it.

Tbf I understand Steezo’s point about executive overreach and cheering on executive fuckery at any level because it’s your team that’s doing it. I’d prefer to see the legislative process applied to reach the same outcome, but that would of course require our elected officials to actually vote on something and go on the record, which is obviously a Bad Thing come election time.
