I'm not surprised. I got to meet McKinley in Afghanistan while he was the ambassador there. We were playing for the embassy's 4th of July celebration, and we were there while he and his staff hashed out some of the last minute details the day before the gig. He seemed like a great guy; he was very welcoming and friendly with us, and just from watching him work he was clearly a skilled professional who took his duties seriously.

Plus while we were playing "Cake By the Ocean," he and his wife came up and did our dumb dance moves with us, so dude's solid in my book.

What was Pompeo like at the CIA? Was he a capable director that turned into a self-serving sack of poo poo later on or did he try to run the place like his own little Trumpian fiefdom?

He was only there for a little over a year so I assume it was all spent making his assistant's life hell and collecting information for personal gain

Naturally the billions of dollars in new productivity will be sent to the teachers

My mom dealt with “volunteer” after school care for 40 years. Volunteers were assigned according to a strict rotation and if you refused to do it you were practically submitting your resignation.

Either call for shortening the work day, instead, or an after school program that doesn’t lean on teachers giving up even more of their time.

My favorite Act of Bezos is when he did an interview where he literally said he had no idea what to do with his vast riches amidst news of the poor benefits his company offered and the awful conditions his workers toiled in.

“The only way that I can see to deploy this much financial resource is by converting my Amazon winnings into space travel,” Bezos said. “That is basically it.”

Look, they're a poo poo company and whatnot, but plenty of other employers out there are easily as bad, if not worse.

Great point, bet none of us here knew that. I guess nobody should single out how Bezos abuses his employees while whining about how the best way to spend his money is to literally explode it because the boss of a Pakistani shipbreaker crew offers even fewer breaks.

This was my very first post on the topic:


“Don’t poo poo up the thread.”

And then:


“Unless you want to do something about it, don’t poo poo up the thread.”

And then:



“Since you wanna poo poo up the thread, what do you think we should do about it?”

Are you raging at me just to rage at someone? I’ve been incredibly consistent, but ok.

No I’m not raging at you. This is not about you.

Thanks. I disagree with your approach. I’d be happy if we just called his poo poo out when we see it instead of hiding it under a rug. Same goes for the other dude if he’s being anti-Semitic.

Is there a reason to pardon someone like this other than to try and win the military vote back for the next election? Like was there any question to his guilt or anything? Or was it pretty open and shut? Or just cuz trump said warcriming was cool during his campaign so hes following through now?

This is one of his most confusing behaviors. Very, very few in the military actually support decisions like these. There's like, some ultra-specific group of super chud outside the military that thinks there's no such thing as a war crime but that seems rare even among chuds.

lmao this dipshit must think clemency means "for all past and future acts," because there's no loving way any PAO signed off on this circus and publicly denigrating his own personal chain of command as active US Navy Sailor is absolutely chargeable conduct under UCMJ.

Our military has zero way of dealing with an active duty service member disobeying orders left and right because he has the protection of the president

I can't really figure out whether Esper's position is pro- or anti- Trump

Is this not Esper asking for the resignation of a guy who tried to negotiate his way out of 100% compliance with Trump's orders?

Someone who has supposedly known Buttigieg since childhood said that he's a weirdo and has aspired to be president since he was a small child. Basically just dunking on him for being an elitist rear end in a top hat and weird to boot.

There’s plenty of bad things to say about him but those tweets were insanely weak. Like dang, he wanted to be president as a kid!!??! What a dunk!

I think there was one about how he cried when he was 6?

I think the point of the Butt stuff is that it fits with him seemingly wanting power for power's sake, and that everything he does is extremely manufactured/ contrived to further that goal. Not some "oh no a kid wanted to be president" handwringing.

I’m just advocating higher standards for what we call massive slam dunks on a dude
