This reminded me of the baseball scene in Interstellar. Some farm teams playing in the cornfields? Nah, the fucking Yankees. And nobody knew who they were. That’s how I want them to go out, with a whimper.

Perhaps I will need two wives!

Sooo how did they score that? A hit?

Basic civics lesson: Facebook is not the government. The first amendment only covers government restriction of free speech. Facebook is not required to pass on any shitty Trumpist propoganda if they don’t want to, just as you are not required to use Facebook to post shitty Trumpist propoganda.

If you think the people left “like” or are “liked” by ISIS, I have some real estate in Syria to sell you...

Not necessarily cheaper yet, but...

I’m sure its more about security than quality.

It’s a side effect of reducing the military budget after the Cold War. You can’t have it both ways. Larger budgets can support more competitors because you buy more systems. Now, you only have one type so if you don’t win it, you are out of the business for 20-30 years.

Military spending as a % of GDP is the real number you should be looking at. We are currently at 3.5%, which is 20th in the world, and has been trending downward. We spend more than the next 7 because our economy is vastly bigger. We spend more because with the exception of China and Russia we have vastly more…

I’m sure in most cases you are confusing incompetence with corruption. No doubt there is some corruption, but your average civil servant and contractor are too stupid to be effectively corrupt.

That’s called politics.

Are you kidding? They certainly were in a position to resist. Our troops were embedded with theirs. As it is green on blue has always been a problem, you think it would be any different with the entire country against you instead of just a quarter?

In negotiations there is something called BAD - Best Alternative to a Deal. Clearly the Iraqis weren’t giving up legal jurisdiction over crimes committed by US troops - this was a hard line for both us and them. The minute a status of forces agreement was on the table, we were going to leave, plain and simple. The…

It’s a work place. If you are professional you shouldn’t HAVE to complain to management that some idiot is bringing his kid to work. That should be dealt with. But it’s “baseball” so apparently the rules don’t apply to Mr. LaDouche.

Wow I was cringing as they were taking a pickax and chainsaw to the ice. Just waiting for someone to go a leeetle too far and hit steel.

Being familiar with international shipping and the hellishness/ineptitude of Middle East bureaucracy, I’m sure that is exactly what happened. And you thought the DMV was bad... LOL.

I reeeeally want Margaery to say she converted, and then as she is freed, she says to Jaime... Kill them all. Give Cersei a run for her money.

If you don’t, you have just made your deterrent the most expensive prop in history. It’s less than useless because people will know that they could nuke you and you still wouldn’t use them.

BBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

I thought the exact same thing but based on his jibe about the previous report I’m pretty sure that’s not going to happen.
