I’m a veteran; I actually was in the Navy when the towers fell. I still clearly remember walking into the wardroom onboard my ship and asking what crazy movie everyone was watching, as I had just come off watch and found the entirety of the ship’s contingent of officers staring at the TV — Captain and XO included.

Your replies are both informative and satisfyingly snarktastic. Thank you for your service!

That’s a tricky question.

In broad political strokes I would say that roughly half the armed forces voted against Trump and roughly half voted against Clinton. (Nobody voted FOR anyone in this election.) The breakdown was largely generational; older vets and officers that had been around felt more uncomfortable with…

Entirely possible. We use more mercs than we’d like to admit, and don’t even get me started on THAT bullshit. Blackwater/Xe/Cobra-la or whatever those shitheels are calling themselves now are officially off the table but there are plenty of others.

Tillerson is not the Secretary of State to look after the US’ interests. Tillerson is the Secretary of State to look after ExxonMobil’s interests and the sooner we all accept that, the sooner we can start trying to work around that limitation.

I’m not active duty anymore so my ass is about as safe as it can get, but I appreciate the sentiment!

I’m mostly angry for guys like the ones in this photo. A full bird colonel is having to take this rich kid playing army dress-up seriously. His men have to follow. We have thrown our people to the wolves, and they’re…

He’s wearing a vest AND Wayfarers, how do you not take him seriously??

How can that officer take this guy seriously? He’s an actual major, not some jagoff who majored in Recreation Sciences or whatever.

He IS a “deplorable” AND a nitwit too. I stopped trying to be civil and polite with them, I just say it now. “You’re a moron, this is all your fault and you’re owning it, not me”. If you took a look at the wiggly gasbag and decided he was the “best choice” then I really have no further interest or use for you in my…

I hope she loses that job. It’s the price you pay for being a gassy one-issue rage-driven voter who’s too stupid to do five minutes of research on the biggest fraud in modern American history. No sympathy here at all, you broke it you bought it.

I’d leave every single one of them by the side of the road at dusk while wolves howled nearby and drive off laughing. Through a bullhorn so they could hear me.

There was an entire fucking thread the other day about how we shouldn’t blame the coal miners for getting fooled by 45.

I’ve found that we all have different experiences with these people. My circle of Trump supporters have been brainwashed by Fox News. Every goddamned one of them has that sh!t on anytime I’m over to their houses. They believe every word as gospel, and what Fox preaches is hate towards “liberals” - which has come to…

Yeah, I honestly think most of them voted out of pure spite - “Let’s show those liberals!”. Some were just embarrassingly conned (I cannot feel bad for them; if you fall for fucking three-card Monte, you deserve what you get), and some were perfectly happy to install a kleptocracy because they’re rich enough to…

I find it astonishing that the people who voted for this con man, the “rich” guy that laughably ran on a “populist” platform, have no issue with him stacking the government with family and other cronies who directly profit from obvious conflicts of interest. Paying millions to rent space in Trump Tower? No problem!…

War criminal. Fuck him.

Anyone who is appalled by the tone of this email is adorably inexperienced when it comes to receiving emails from the executive leadership down to middle management and below. The genre is always self-congratulatory and filled with ‘team wins’ that mean nothing to the recipients, but the execs feel like ‘sharing the…

This might be a good time to recall something of which many of us are ignorant in our own history. It is estimated that 10 to 30% of Africans forced to our shores as slaves were of Muslim descent: many of them spoke and wrote in Arabic; some of them Hafidhs who had memorised the entire Qu’ran and could recite it in…

no one in their right mind would ever fuck them?
