Strom Thurmond kept serving until he was essentially a roomba carrying a colostomy bag, so... No.

IIRC he shot about 600, and 59 of them died.

Howdy Diddle-y?

It’s not a binary choice. I have family and acquaintances who served honorably, some of whom suffered imprisonment and torture rather than betraying their mission. I also have known servicemen who were virulently bigoted and misogynistic, even one so pathologically anti-social I felt nervous being alone in his…

They need a halo model. A real sports car at the top of the range makes everything else more desirable; if it’s the fastest car ever made, Tesla goes from being the brand that makes the most futuristic cars to the one making the fastest. Even if they lose money on every model, it’s essentially a marketing expense.

I think Stamets did it on purpose, so he wouldn’t be taken off the ship and examined by Starfleet. If he’d been too eager to link back up to the drive, Lorca would have been suspicious; framing it as his last gift to the crew is the only way he’d be allowed to plug in. My guess is that there’s a powerful consciousness…

I figure the docs reflect poorly on the CIA and FBI, agencies Trump needs to discredit to give Republicans political cover for ignoring Mueller’s findings.

Hey dipshit, here’s how an actual diplomat would express the same sentiment, to a round of applause instead of condemnation:

I was not surprised that Trump wasn’t calling the families of deceased soldiers, I was not surprised that he lied about it, and I was not surprised that when he DID make a call he used the tone of an 11-year-old’s forced apology to a sibling. It was still news.

It’s not always unreasonable, especially in Oklahoma. A big chunk of my ancestors settled in the Midwest in the mid 19th century, and marriage (or just children) between natives and settlers was uncommon but not unheard of. Family lore said that my father’s great grandmother was “Indian,” and we always assumed she was…

But it’s totally smooth sailing for the gays and jews.

I agree. We’ve had a president who ignored our plague - on PURPOSE - because it helped him rile up swing state evangelicals. At the same time much of the GOP leadership loudly proclaimed that 20-year-olds dying in unspeakable agony deserved it for violating God’s Law. We triumphed over those monsters and created one…

I’d say massive fires and record breaking storms are a better indication than a bunch of insects.

No, he’s from the WSJ. So he’s almost certainly too smart to believe the things he writes, but is also too smarmy and self-impressed to write anything but devil’s advocate pieces defending the indefensible.

Destroying Obamacare is awful, but there is no potential for it to end life on Earth. Nominating coal industry goons to run the EPA is a catastrophic decision that may be lamented for centuries to come, but it still pales in comparison to the total destruction of major cities and the instantaneous slaughter of…

That’s assuming we all survive whatever damn fool thing he does to cause his own death.

Does the Secret Service have to investigate if you talk about wanting to slap the president so hard the stupid comes out?

I think if you include what the Russian government spent they come out about even.

That doesn’t include the superpac and dark money donations.

Fuck you.
