Meh, I’ve seen a little kid try pinch-to-zoom on a physical book.

Short answer: Yes.

Nope, impeachment has to come first. The president is probably immune from criminal prosecution while in office. The really screwed up part is that he could theoretically pardon everyone involved, preemptively, for something as vague as “crimes that may have been committed in connection with the 2016 Presidential…

That’s easy - what Genus does your dog belong to? If it’s Canis (it is), then they also belong to the Order Carnivora, so you should probably keep feeding them meat. If that’s ethically troubling for you then there are plenty of other animals that you could keep as pets that would be perfectly healthy and happy on a…

People are weird. In certain cases people think they’re in way more danger than they actually are (sharks, murder, etc.) but a lot of the time modern adults walk around thinking that there’s a lot more in the way of them dying of stupidity than there actually is.

Yeah, we covered the fact that the military and a lot of DOJ folks are different. People should totally check with their agency if they have questions though.

I can definitely see the value in message control and making sure that no one but the Ambassador speaks on behalf of the U.S. without authorization.

Fair point - the stricter rules mostly apply to the intelligence community and some DOJ employees. The military is another story altogether since they basically have their own legal system. Another exception is that foreign service personnel serving overseas are expected to be apolitical even when off-duty, but I’m…

The Hatch Act only prohibits you from advocating on behalf of a campaign during the course of your official duties, generally meaning during business hours. You’re also prohibited from referring to your federal position as part of your advocacy (example: as an expert in “ “ with the Department of “ “, I think that…

The way he sits makes a lot more sense if you photoshop a toilet in place of the chair.

Insecure chubby dude in a blue mall cop uniform insults biceps of girl who is a world-class athlete and almost certainly stronger than him.

These tests don’t detect the active compound, they test for the different metabolites that your body converts alcohol (and everything else on the list) into as they’re processed.

It’s only for the last 9 years that members of the military haven’t had to pay into the GI Bill. I entered the Army in 2008 and I was one of the last guys to pay into it - people who entered a month or two after me were given access as a reward for service, no buy-in required. Interestingly, the way they decided to…

“Absolutely, but it’s more a matter of marijuana being viewed in the same category as other relatively innocuous drugs like ibu or acet..”

Not to mention the fact that no one has developed a ballistic missile defense system that has shown itself capable of reliably stopping incoming missiles from an unknown trajectory. The tests have shown really mixed results, even when targeting a single reentry vehicle on a known course. Even if there were a system…

Month one Trump is like an unholy mashup of year six Nixon and year eight Reagan.

He may be legitimately funny, or maybe that’s just the writers - but Jeb Bush sure does look a LOT like Dan Akroyd.

Getting shut down by the Supreme Court of the United States after 8 years of publicly whining that I should have been admitted to the public university that rejected me due to my mediocre grades and lack of accomplishment is my new idea of the most depressing day ever. No wonder she’s making that face.

Haha, sure there are two states nearby. Unfortunately DC rent prices apply to everywhere safe and metro accessible. You can still pay two grand a month but spend 2 hours a day at the mercy of WMATA.

Another former infantryman here - and I completely agree. Who knew we were such a progressive bunch! Seriously though, if advocating for the rights of a historically oppressed ethnic group to which you belong is a “partisan” political issue then we need to seriously reconsider how we define the word. I don’t see…
