  1.  @nohatheanimal  But you speak as a child, understand as a child, and think as a child and cannot seem to put away childish things

  2. They should label this the 'Dominatrix Doctrine' You paid extra for the pain, and should tip for good service. This just sounds like Ranger school to me, without the starvation and ruck marching. 10/10, would break collarbone again.

  3. Ah, so the REAL reason he's being prosecuted is that he burned a couple rich white guys. I just looked up all relevant legal precedents and can confirm: this checks out.

  4. Constitution doesn't say to better split up and balkanize the country and sell it off to the highest bidder. It says in the very opening line: In order to form a more perfect union. First damn sentence. We're like a roach motel: States can check in, but they don't check out. F off and leave, Johnny Rebs.

  5. They had no problem with charging Bill Clinton for Perjury, a crime that was going to lock him up for 2 years. He cut a plea deal his last day, got disbarred and fined. Funny how we all forget about that. He was going to jail the moment he walked out the White House door. So, clearly, Republicans are willing to jail an Ex POTUS. Just not one of their own.

  6. This all goes back to our entire history of Politicians refusing to use the Guard Rails that hold Politicians accountable. In our entire history, our 'representative' Politicians have refused to impeach and REMOVE the ultimate Politician. Never expect one who considers themselves a Baron or Duke to remove a King, because they think they could be next. This is Feudal Lords fighting to protect their Station.

  7. ESPECIALLY important are the Secretaries of State, who lean on the county elections offices in 38/50 states

  10. And yet, if a single witness said something like 'the country would be better off if Trump were JFK'd' you can bet the Secret Service would be on their doorstep in 2 minutes and they would be convicted in 5. Enough. Trump used up his mulligans long ago.

  11. @ It didn't launch my career. I grew up poor, so I ended up in the Military as soon as I graduated high school. The Fed job came later after I too bought into the myth that a fed job was "the best, last job you could get". So I applied for one. The realities were usually the polar opposite of what everyone (who clearly never had a federal job) mythologizes about them. Lots of short-notice travel taking you away from home, no overtime pay but lots of overtime worked, tons of mandatory in-person and online training, paperwork, paperwork, paperowork (all in the name of preventing Fraud, Waste, & Abuse), a paranoid culture of trying to not make tiny clerical mistakes that gets you written up, getting set up for failure by back-stabbing coworkers who behave like it's an episode of Survivor, and most of all: absolutely no forgiveness and the threat of legal consequences for administrative & utterly inconsequential mistakes. Example: I kid you not, a gas jockey accidentally put Plus unleaded in a GSA car on a travel job, and they literally sent an investigator to interview everyone for 'fraud waste and abuse' and start a whole inquisition. In 2009. We counted our beans and expenses with more excruciating detail than anyone in the private sector. To the penny. You have to learn systems within systems within systems just to be a janitor or forklift jockey. These DOGE clowns aren't concerned with 'fraud, waste, and abuse', they're there to CREATE fraud waste and abuse, and profit from it while blaming someone else. Nobody spends more time trying to prevent it than Fed managers themselves. We had lots of sayings in the fed world, but this one is most relevant: "You've never seen an organization more willing to spend a dollar to save a dime." Some of our other sayings: - I file everything, therefore I know nothing - Those who shred history are doomed to repeat it - Anything worth doing is worth doing in Triplicate It's the Administratum of 40k lore. You may think that Park Ranger has a cush job sitting in a booth charging $5 for a parking pass to everyone, but what you don't know is that the moment they leave the booth, they have a pile of admin work and mandatory training waiting for them in the office and voice call meetings with supervisors.

  12. They didn't just "See it on TV". They saw it on a TV news network that claims to be news. Not satire. Editorial hour is not satire. It's a facet of Journalism, straight up. Even after courts forced them to say they're not journalists, they still get away with stating they are without disclaimer, as opposed to The Daily Show, which is plainly on Comedy Central.

  13. It is the responsibility and role of Hunter's LAWYERS to fight that fight, not the goddamned President acting like a Royal using his rank to make his Heir untouchable.

  14.  @Ch1pp007  It comes down to politicians who someday dream of being an untouchable president themselves, and having a knock-on invincibility effect trickle out to all politicians. All politicians, at all times, are trying to make themselves more above the law than they have already made themselves. That's how Feudal Lordship invents itself.

  17. When he invokes himself as President, he doesn't get free speech. He must pay for everything he says. Because he is presuming to speak for us. For the United States. With force of authority. He certainly tried to leverage that rank when committing his crimes.

  18. The constitution says 'in order to form a more perfect UNION' quite explicitly in the very first sentence. In ages past, nations grew through conquest and capitulation. The US was unique at the time by forming it through consensus. Teamwork. In the face of a common enemy, sure. Today, nations only fall apart, whittle down, and get smaller to appease tribalists. Weaking themselves. It's not an good thing.

  19. There's a reason why so many bases are in the South, and it ain't to juice small hick town economies

  22. After I went to the Joint Fires course at Nellis in '08, it was a trend I noticed has grown. Only the most senior officers get stick time anymore, because Drones really have caused so many junior officers to be unemployed. I asked an Air Force Colonel (Full Bird) who lost his A-10 seat to run a Drone wing why he still walked around in a flight suit...he told me "Because I can and because chicks dig it"

  23.  @Anvilman  That changes once a president is finally REMOVED after impeachment. Duh, cause and effect, dude. He skipped the effects last time because politicians want to NEVER set the precedent that a POTUS can be kicked TF out

  25. My problem with the language is the law is specifying international terrorism as a viable target. Which, as 'Murica will do, continues to shelter and offer loopholes to it's domestic ones

  26. "You can win an argument and still lose the argument" In the matter of FAA vs Don Ready: Defendant: Judge, did you know in 1969 when smoking was allowed on all flights, we put a man on the moon? Judge: You mother****er. Case dismissed. Now let's all smoke one for America.

  27. Ugh....this is MORE than corruption, this is arms dealing AND Espionage-adjacent 18 USC 794 violations. This guy ALSO is playing footsie with the Electric Chair. Bribery is the LEAST of his crimes here.

  28. The question always remains: Who pulls Trump's strings and puts those little folders in front of him to sign He's just their old, fat puppet useful for rabble rousing the moron vote.

  30. We have checked every single block of post '33 Germany that ended their Republic from brownshirts trying to burn down the Reichstag to weirdos in cults of pseudoscientists literally heading the government agencies.

  31. So does that mean that since microorganisms in the body continue to grow after someone is dead that they are still 'alive' and have Personhood status before the law? This would be wonderful since it means rich senators have to give back all that silver spoon inheritance cash that got them to where they could be senators.

  32. My takeaway: Golf is still stupid

  33. Alina: Baby, I'll do anything you want for $200 Trump: Dress up and pretend to be a lawyer Also Trump: Just kidding, there is no $200

  34. Money is now speech. Money is now 'paying your debt to society' for murdering an individual. Money is how you get Undue amounts of process where others don't get their due at all. Money and Democracy do not mix. One replaces the other.

  35. Disabled veterans. Guaranteed. Between Trump's dislike of people who aren't draft dodgers like him and Republican's greedy hand rubbing to keep every penny every American paid into Social Security, it's a sure bet Elon is going to try to end Veteran's benefits. Everything they do mirrors what Republicans has been salivating to do since FDR.

  36. Yet more proof that cash registers mean more than flesh and blood Oh he shoulda gotten his peepee slapped good, but he spilled not one drop of blood. Whereas we've got gun waving, treasonous domestic terrorists with blood on their hands 'aplenty walking free

  37. With money. Like any rich man, he wonders 'Why aren't I royalty? This whole America thing is standing in my way.' And so the party of the Rich, by the Rich, for the Rich played the rubes into supporting a Feudal takeover.

  38. The only solution is the investigation, prosecution, and overturning as part of a criminal conspiracy the compromised, self-evidently corrupt rulings of this SCOTUS. They did what they did for bribes, arrest them and annul their actions on the bench. And why not? They ruled a President could do that, after all. As long as he does it 'officially'

  39. I'm fairly certain that was the backdrop story of the movie The Bad Batch. Naturally, all trade with Texas would have to be embargoed and any 'Hey, I'm gonna go with Texas if it means I can own Brown People like my grandpappy did' states like Mississippi be reminded at gunpoint why there are so many US military bases in Southern states. Never trust a Texan.

  40. You really have to admire his alibi that he needs immunity to enjoy his golden years as an ex POTUS. A point of view shared by every Nazi War Criminal in Argentina regarding their golden years.

  41. I'm not too surprised. His career was built on prosecuting the Sicilian Mafia, and deliberately leaving the Russian Bratva mob untouched. Who swept in and filled the power vacuum to this very day. Weird how nobody seems to wonder about his chummy relationship with Russians.

  42. It feels like a social control experiment to see how far you can push the suspension of disbelief before a large enough mass of people resort to Guillotines. The two parties seem like cartoonish control methods and a 'democracy' that somehow, mysteriously, keeps turning up results within a few tiny percentage points again and again and again. It really does beggar belief. Too much.

  44.  @tgmjrtgmjr8221  No they do not. Federal jobs usually lag behind City jobs for benefits, and WG/GS payscales are set to establish **the** baseline for a Middle Class Income. My friend who is a city bus driver ($39 hr) as well as fabricators and truckers at my current shop ($35 hr) make WAY more per hour than Federal payscale. You know nothing.

  47.  @sharper68  You're adorable. But playing the wrong game. Or at least you showed up playing with the wrong rules. There's a word for people who use those rules: victims. Forgotten victims. Not survivors. Which means we shouldn't listen to you.

  48. And yet not one of them was smart enough to just Copyright/Trademark "The Big Lie" so they could sue CNN or anyone else who used that phrase

  49.  @Psyda  Like it matters. He already gained a reputation for violating local authority and jurisdictions in his first term by simply sending federal goons to bigfoot in 'liberal' places that offended his personal sensibilities. Did we all forget when he had unmarked Feds snatching rando people off the streets of Portland for wearing black hoodies in public as 'sus'?

  50. It's the home of Wall Street, Donald Trump, the Subprime Mortgage Crash and bailout, and the entire history of NYC mayors. There were no surprises about 'corruption' here.
