“I wouldn’t mind seeing a few of those jokers in Congress lined up and shot, like we used to do with traitors. Well, that’s what the second term is for!”

That second one seemed....avoidable. 

Yeah, that’s more of an urban proletariat, but honestly it’s more of the same. Exploited low-status workers employed by those who control land/capital.

Wow, they sure are spending a lot of money in order to funnel a relatively small amount of money to the President. I’m not sure whether the actual corruption is the more offensive part, or the sheer inefficiency of the corruption. Whatever the cost of those hotel rooms are, they’re probably less than the cost of…

If that were true I imagine he’d be polling quite a bit higher in the Dem. primary. He has a lot of support, but it certainly isn’t 50% and he currently appears to be losing supporters to Warren with her more moderate branding combined with detailed policy proposals.

Well, it was probably a pretty big pay increase from what she was doing before, and she’s almost certain to get better jobs than she otherwise would have because she had this one. Never mind the fact that it sounds like it consisted mostly of getting coffee and printing out emails for a senile monster, and she was…

Well, yeah - the guy could crap his pants, claim it as a victory, and the hosts of Fox and Friends would show up the next morning wearing Freedom Diapers.

It also ignores the fact that China is an intelligent actor who sees what we see. They know that Trump needs a “deal” towards the end of 2019, and because they know that they’ll apply more pressure in order to coerce him into something more advantageous to them. That would be obvious to everyone, so Trump will be in a…

Are we really allies now? From where I’m standing it seems like we have this weird sort of client state relationship in which we’re the junior partner. Not only do they bully us on policy issues (Iran during the last administration for example) and directly intervene in our domestic politics (Netanyahu’s address to…

That’s some dark, revolting, hilarious shit. I wish I had more stars to give. 

“H comes from a good family”

Well, considering that at one p0int there were 170k American troops there I’d say Iraq meets the definition of a major ground war.

Oh, you mean Tom Cotton?

Sorry, only major ground wars are unpopular. Turns out that people are pretty okay with a one-sided air and naval drubbing of a vastly inferior adversary that’s been talked up as an existential threat for decades. 

This was another roid rage murder.

Surely you’re not accusing Prof. GarGarParParDarmDarmChill of relying on questionable statistics! If he says 99% of the military is a literal pile of psychopaths then I believe him.

Oh yes, the coveted “vet pedestal”. Outside of getting a free drink in the flyover states at the cost of your dignity, that doesn’t actually get you a lot. Most people join for a few years, get out, and do something else. Some of those people are insufferable dorks who make sure everyone they every meet knows “they…

Is the military too big? Yup. Does it do things it shouldn’t? Yeah, sometimes.

Very useful commentary Andrew. Let me get this straight :This guy joined the military, disobeyed orders and committed murder, and was immediately prosecuted for having done so. Members of his own platoon reported him, and he was dishonorably discharged and thrown in jail. 

First, Duncan Hunter is a piece of garbage. You don’t need to explain to the members of Behenna’s infantry unit that combat is about “killing bad guys” - they’re aware. They also aware of when that killing can cross a line into murder (when you do it on your own initiative, outside of combat, and attempt to hide it,…
