“And when you come home from your battles, scarred and shattered, we will have decimated the VA so it will be similarly scarred and shattered, a perfect metaphor for exactly how much we love our veterans. Look, a flyover from the Blue Angels!”

My first thought, which utterly chilled me, was that he was talking about deploying troops here, possibly after refusing to accept election results or to promote his vicious “Kingdom of Heaven” here. No real reason, but that’s the first thing that leaped into my head when I read that. 

“...Mr. Trump is the best friend the men and women of our armed forces will ever have.”

I can’t argue with that. But until then, I’ll remain crestfallen that Oregon lost the title as “US state that’s home to the biggest living thing on Earth”.

I am quickly learning how little people actually know about wild animals from this articles discussion threads.  Trophy hunting ie hunting Mountain Lions and Wolves is VERY different from deer hunting. 

Sounds like the area needs a reintroduction of the predators it lost... like the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park, where it resulted in a trophic cascade:

Yeah, man, fuck the ecosystem! These things are so common, and ignoring the root causes of why these trees are dying and what is impacting the entire degradation of flora at the hands of unchecked fauna through human actions is totally negligible!

Facebook helped!

I knew twitter would kill us all.

It’s ok to admit that you don’t understand how the economy works.

However, with the US tarrifs in place retaliatory tarrifs of other countries will cause a stiff decrease in the export of US built vehicles. The US certainly loses there. Especially as America’s unilateralism and unreliability is bring other countries together.

...a powerful painkiller with few to no side effects...capable of stopping pain in non-human primates, but without any signs of addiction.

Don’t particular strains of cannibas already accomplish this?

I have a strange suspicion that “Safe Opioid” may be a medical version of “Clean Coal”

Can some of y’all stop acting like the Catholic church is the only one with sexual abuse problems, and that pastors in other denominations don’t just go and find another job somewhere else or create a new church? The reason why we don’t hear about them is precisely because they aren’t usually an organized bureaucracy.…
