I think there's probably an ocean of extremely-loving-relevant detail that needs a hell of a lot more context in the bolded section below. That is some crazy poo poo.

Does anyone have a source for this other than twitter? I'm not finding any articles... Maybe I'm using the wrong words?

pantslesswithwolves posted:While we're talking about wasted cinematic opportunities, I'm still so bummed that World War Z got turned into a relatively generic action-horror movie when it could have been an *incredible* mini-series with each chapter of Max Brooks' book being told in a pseudo-documentary style. Imagine an episode on society collapsing during the Great Panic, a Ken Burns' Vietnam-style episode on the Battle of Yonkers, the wartime economy, etc. gently caress, every time I think about that squandered opportunity I have to walk around for a couple of minutes. I would have loved WWZ to be like the book. Especially if they got the narrators from the History channel to be in it. I would have watched that movie 1000 times. I guess its time to re-read the book.

I have to imagine Pence's detail is equipped with both sidearms and SMGs, along with whatever Capital PD had. When watching that day on TV, I was convinced that the day would end with dead bodies littering the Capitol grounds. Part of me is always saddened by the loss of life. Part of me wishes that day turned out differently.

Handsome Ralph posted:On that note, it'd be real loving neato if Biden told OPM that non-clearance level jobs (so like public trust type stuff) do not need to give a poo poo about weed. I'd love it if they did it for anything secret and above too, but doubtful that happens anytime soon. Is the jury in the courtroom during this? It seems like he is trying to tell the jury that he believes some evidence is "wrong", but not actually saying it. I was under the assumption that actions/behavior like that was the domain of lawyers, not judges. Legal goons, make me understand.

Thwomp posted:I cannot recall a single Secretary of Transportation that served during my lifetime. Was it LaHood for Obama? No idea. I get that and agree. It felt odd for some reason. Personal bias? Maybe. Maybe I expected more from someone who was trying to be the President. If the day to day wasn’t much, why wasn’t he helping lobby for the bill? Now that I write the above I’m beginning to think that my displeasure seems to be more generally directed at the administration as a whole, his circumstances are providing me a target. Frankly, I expected more of a “full court press” from the admin, not this disjointed whatever we’ve gotten.

RFC2324 posted:thats why I said with a minimum of planning, but its funny how gop politicians seem to have poo poo lined up and waiting for say, a judge who is pro-life to take the bench, but dems never have time/funds/whatever for a major national role to be prepared for a role defining bill to pass. This is exactly what sets me off. I know it’s “everyone” in the party, but drat, this should have been nonstop “progress” rammed down America’s throat.

Godholio posted:This is why the "no reason to vote/blue no matter who hurrrrr" people bother me. No, a vote for Biden absolutely doesn't fix anything. Not at all. But it kept Trump out of office for four years. Unfortunately, I think these people will have their way in 2024, with the lovely center-right establishment Democrat losing the election. God knows who that will give the White House to, but it's certain to be worse. The only thing I’m taking solace in right now is that things would be far, far worse with Trump in charge.

Loucks posted:How so? Democrats seem to be pushing the same pro-wealth, anti-working class agenda the GOP does, just as Joe promised when he told donors that nothing fundamentally would change. Is it just that they’re less gauche? At least under Trump the administration’s incompetence often led to their ghoulish plans’ failure and the liberals weren’t all completely asleep. Most of my liberal friends are convinced that the adults are in charge and have stopped paying attention, meanwhile the border camps are still packed full of the humans their yard signs insist aren’t illegal, we’re on track for more Covid deaths in Biden’s first year than we saw in Trump’s final year, and Joe Biden, an architect of the nation’s failed war on drugs, has signaled that he’s quite happy to let people continue to be forced into slave labor for the crime of being caught with a plant despite being able to stop such an obvious injustice with the stroke of a pen. Look, they leave much (so very much ) to be desired. We would have twice as many dead under Trump. Everything that we are complaining about now would be accelerated, others have already observed that the republicans are quick to push through plans while the dems don’t. Are they doing what I want them to do? No. Are they better than Trump? Yes. I can hold that opinion, it isn’t like you have to do mental gymnastics to equate the current admin as “better”.

facialimpediment posted:To follow-up on what was posted earlier, it appears that the prosecutor and judge are having a dumb-off in the Rittenhouse trial and the judge was actually right. Ah yes, the infamous "I was going to hunt" defense. I get that, technically, a 17 year old can own a "hunting" rifle in WI, but he wasn't from WI, brought the weapon across state lines illegally, and totally was NOT using the weapon for "hunting."

A Bad Poster posted:The biggest one to me was that airmen automatically get BAH at E4 or 3 years of service. I did not learn that until I was an E4 with 4 years of service in the army. If every recruit for every other branch knew that was AF policy, versus what every other branch does, then nobody would ever enlist for a branch other than the Air Force. I sure know I wouldn't have. They should advertise that. I would have went airforce.

We all hoped for better. Kenosha is going to burn this weekend. I am worried about any precedent that this verdict may start. Being able to claim self defense, while transporting a weapon across state lines, into a situation that the media has already declared violent, can only lead to lots of dead people.
