STEVE SMITH THINK SINGAPORE PEOPLE FUNNY!
They goin golfing soon?
First?
HEY YUFUS!
Seconded.
To try and be ON TOPIC, I was gonna comment that Trump should serve up a bowl of KIM chi.
Nevermind.
Sup Tres! And the Golf was a legit Question someone asked Trump, Why not? He might dig it
Yea!
“Arunkumar hired Cavanaugh — a longtime pathologist for various counties in Indiana — to be her top deputy. Within six months, she demoted him, then fired him because she determined his “skill set” wasn’t right for one of the busiest morgues in the United States.
Arunkumar’s agency has notified Cook County prosecutors and the Chicago Police Department because findings of any mistakes by Cavanaugh could affect criminal investigations and prosecutions.”
I’m thinking it was more of a case of deliberate dishonesty than a lack of skill. Chicago has been ignoring murders for years.
“She says her office also will intensify its audits of autopsies and reports for all new pathologists”
So the existing patronage hires are safe. Good to know.
I’m curious what the Glib community at large thinks will honestly come out of the Trump-Kim Summit? Anything substantive, or is it just theater on both sides?
Kanye West-directed sex tape in the Oval Office.
OH. The other Kim.
Am I not substantive?
Your contributions are substantial, if delightfully perverted.
Free Golf for life at any Trump Resort?
Wait. The communist Kim admires free market Singapore?
HIM LIKE AUTHORITARIAN PART. HAVE LOTS OF MONEY GOOD TOO.
I think he would like the wealth creating aspects of it while maintaining his power. I doubt he could thread that needle so the North Koreans suffer.
Right now theater, but has potential. Appeasement under Obama and others got no where. Kim ain’t stupid and knew how to get aid out of them for nothing. He can’t do that with Trump. For all his many, many flaws, I do have some measure of faith in Trump’s negotiation ability. I’ll believe it when I see it, but has a greater than 0% chance to work.
^^This.
Previous administrations had 0% chance of getting any real movement in the NK arena.
I’d say Trump will get some movement, but there is a 40% chance it goes the wrong way.
Some clips of Kim speaking in English that I can twist and contort for a cartoon?
STEVE SMITH LIKE FUNNY HAT AND HAIR CARTOON. MAKE MORE FUNNY, CARTOON MAKING GLIBERTARIAN!!!
Don’t know, but he’s already gotten more out of N Korea than any other president. Somehow.
It is rather funny though.
^This.
Plus the added bonus of tears of prog outrage that someone they consider a buffoon can at least get Kim to the table.
I agree with this.
Especially the funny part.
I still expect one of them to cancel it in a fit of mercurialness.
Hoops, one on one, best 3 of 5, for the nukes. Rodman refs.
Relevant
I expect a formal end to the Korean War will be portrayed as proof of Obama’s mastery of foreign policy.
Yes. People are giving Obama credit for the economy, so in this case it will be that once again, Obama set the table for Trump’s success.
This is technically true, as half of his successes involve cleaning up messes Obama made.
Dennis Rodman wins the Nobel Peace Prize.
Along with “President Trump, those are things 1998 me wouldn’t be able to comprehend.
IT VIOLATES YEARS OF PRECEDENT SO IT’S WRONG!!!!
It will result in North Korea pledging to destroy their nuke program subject to International (not US) verification (and they will actually follow through with it). An agreement to formally end the war with NK and SK recognizing each others right to exist as independent nations and likely some form of financial aid from the US to the Norks along with a treaty where the US guarantees to respect North Korea’s territorial integrity
None of this really has much to do with Kim or Trump however, this will be the outcome because that is the Outcome that China is ordering Kim to pursue.
If nothing else, the fact that the Korean (Civil) War is still technically on could give the basis for a good summit that doesn’t touch on nukes. Ending the war, etc. as Rasilio describes would be pretty big thing.
I disagree that this doesn’t have much to do with Trump, though. It wouldn’t happen without him, as far as I can tell, because it hasn’t happened without him. What he was willing to do was get the Chinese to see that using their little proxy to poke the West wasn’t going to be cost-free anymore. He threatens a trade war, and lo and behold the dynamic changes.
The North/South summit last month already got a lot closer to that result. This summit needs to finish with us giving up nothing re: sanctions without physical weapons being turned over as a first step.
“this will be the outcome because that is the Outcome that China is ordering Kim to pursue.”
Any why do you think China is now ordering it?
All of a sudden China is having uncomfortable pressure put on it by the United States. A great deal of it, in fact. Whom is China most dependent on financially? You guessed it.
The summits themselves are always theater, with vanishly few exceptions. Its the fact that you don’t want to hold a summit like this unless there is something to announce, that both autocrats are willing to stand behind, that is important.
BEHOLD.

Do you watch Forged in Fire? I think you would like it.
Oh hell yes. Religiously.
I spent a day with and interviewed a guy who later went on to compete and win an episode of Forged in Fire. I had the episode on in the background and I’m like, I know that voice.
Today, in misleading headlines:
“Megyn Kelly Rips Giuliani For Slut-Shaming Stormy Daniels and Melania Trump
When asked if Melania Trump believes the allegations that her husband and Stormy Daniels had an affair in 2006, this is how Giuliani responded:
“She believes in her husband, she knows it’s not true. I don’t even think there’s a slight suspicion that it’s true when you look at Stormy Daniels. I know Donald Trump. Look at his three wives: beautiful women, classy women. Women of great substance. Stormy Daniels? I respect all human beings. I even have to respect criminals. But I’m sorry, I don’t respect a porn star the way I respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who has great respect for herself as a woman and as a person and isn’t going to sell her body for sexual exploitation.”
But Kelly came through, pointing out, of both Trump and Giuliani, “The notion that he respects women of substance, a woman who wont sell her body for sexual exploitation…Melania Trump is classy and gorgeous and I really admire her. But she has posed nude for GQ magazine back in 2000.”
As the audience applauded, she added, “I’m not comparing the two, posing nude is not the same as being a porn star. But come on.””
https://decider.com/2018/06/07/megyn-kelly-calls-out-rudy-giuliani-stormy-daniels-slut-shaming/
“It’s time to respec wahmen and immigants. But fuck that bitch Melania”
If you can’t respect the star of “Pump that Rump” #s 1-6 who is worthy of respect of your respect? The man needs to get his priorities straight.
A.J. Applegate was clearly the shining star of Pump That Rump #6. I don’t care what you motherfuckers say.
Once again, HM get the subjective objectively correct.
Is this info some guys need to fap?
“Jawohl!”
/bash that fash!
A model posing nude once or twice is a wee bit different than appearing in MILF Hunter.
One you marry and the other you pump and dump and get your lawyer to pay off.
Do you every worry that H&H(&H) is making you think like The Donald?
Yes. Yes, I do.
MILF hunter? You can’t get pregnant doing most of the stuff that she does.
So it’s Giuliani’s fault that Kelly slut-shamed the two women?
Not that I have any respect for Giuliani, but that’s just sad and embarrassing.
Trump absolutely had an ongoing affair with Stormy Daniels, and to claim otherwise is just silly.
Posing nude is now selling your body for sexual exploitation? Really, Megan? Sounds like posing in a swimsuit would be, also.
I’m not comparing the two,
Bullshit. You just equated the two. And then you did it again, with your “But come on”.
What a hack, desperately trying to revive a career that has already augured in.
It STEVE SMITH betting on Simona Halep or Sloane Stephens?
STEVE SMITH NOT RESPECT WOMAN WHO GET BREAST REDUCTION!
FUNNY GLIBERTARIAN WRITING HOOMAN IS RIGHT. STEVE SMITH IS DISAPPOINT.
OT: please don’t rape me Steve. I’ve had two pieces of electronic equipment crackle, pop and fail on two different outlets which are on the same series. What do the electrician Glibs think could be causing this. It didn’t happen during an lightning storm, just watching TV then an odd smell then pop. Thanks in advance.
*pours some cobra out for my plasma*
By “series” you mean the same branch circuit? As in, protected by the same circuit breaker?
Yes. I had a tuner pop, so I got a new power strip and plugged it into another outlet. Then the TV blew.
Test the outlet.
That’s bizarre. Even if hot and neutral are swapped at the panel, I can’t see how the protection circuitry in most modern consumer electronics would allow something like that to fry your appliance.
Part of me suspects an arc fault — if it’s high-frequency enough, it could be causing voltage spikes. Still, that’s weird.
Low voltage from the Power Company?
or a loose connection that opens when it gets warm that happens a lot.
It tests just fine, but when you put a load on it it opens, very tricky to find
The only change to the circuit was 7 years ago when I had a built in entertainment center demolished and a smooth wall. There was like 6 outlets and they consolidated them down to 2. But it has worked fine for close to a decade.
I’m guessing either one of those outlets or wiring got stripped or pinched during the renovation.
Are you on a breaker or a fuse?
Breaker
You mean the same circuit? It’s probably wired wrong at the breaker.
Sounds like a loose neutral.* Work your way back to the breaker. They can wear out over time, and it sounds like the breaker should be tripping due to overvoltage but isn’t.
*That’s a joke. Wear gloves.
Are these the only outlets on the circuit?
No there are 4 that I know of. No where else in the House has had anything like this happen, that’s why I suspect it’s just that one circuit.
Yeah definitely check on the breaker, and make sure the wiring is proper and tight.
I’m going to have an electrician come out, I just want an idea so I don’t get bambozled.
Circuit testers like this one are cheap, easy, and fool-proof.
That is really cool. I didn’t know that was a thing.
Get several. Scatter them insouciantly around the house. Encourage their use by others at random and possibly inopportune moments. 😉
Include one in each of your Christmas cards this year!
Hand them out as Hallowe’en treats!
They can also be used as a floor wax, and a dessert topping!
@ Mad scientist great one!
I’d think loose neutral or bad/missing ground. A friend once lost computer equipment on a circuit that had a 3 prong outlet, but no ground wire. He discovered the root cause when he bought a UPS and plugged it into the outlet – it went into alarm mode immediately.
Ground wire is only for human protection and if the neutral comes loose. Otherwise it won’t affect anything other than something like a UPS or surge protector.
Start with a new outlet.
If you turn off the breaker to swap it out, I’m going to make fun of you.
Turn off the breaker? Hell, that would be an automatic disqualification from Florida Man status!
I’ve seen quite a few people electrocute themselves doing that.
Shhhh
I had a minor falling out with my first housemate over that.
Me- Is the breaker off?
Him – Yeah, I checked it.
Me – zzzzzttttt….. GOD DAMMIT
One of those little Fluke current testers is well worth the $20
Usually have one on hand, I knew better than to trust him. Back of the knuckle test works too,
The lock out part of lock out/tag out works too.
Please elaborate on the “back of the knuckle test”.
Punch your housemate in the face until he admits he didn’t actually check the breaker?
It’s not the outlet, because it happened on 2 different ones
^^ guy who hasn’t smoked a new fixture yet
You may have a bad neutral to the pole.
If you turn on something on one side of the house, do the lights on the other side change intensity?
“bad neutral to the pole”
Euphemism?
Nothing Viagra can’t fix
Start by measuring the voltage at the outlet. Pull the outlet out of the wall, measure hot(black) to neutral (white), measure black to ground, measure neutral to ground. Tighten all screws on outlet
Tighten black wire on circuit breaker
WILL FORGIVE….THIS TIME.
Thank you, sir.
*covers cornhole, backs away*
Thanks everyone. Hopefully an electrician can track down the problem. It’s beyond my home owner level fix.
You should get one of these, regardless.
https://www.amazon.com/3-prong-tester/s?page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A3%20prong%20tester
I’m embarrassed to admit I own several of these. One’s in each of the major toolboxes around the house.
They’re very handy.
I have a voltmeter. I’m just not qualified for trouble shooting.
You have a multimeter?
A good circuit should read:
Phase to Neutral: 115 (+/- 10%)
Neutral to Ground: 0
Phase to Ground: 115(+/- 10%)
Anything different indicates a wiring problem.
Yeah, a multimeter.
With one of those, the only qualifications are being able to stick a plug in a socket and read the lights. They are also safer to use than a voltmeter.
Poltergeist.

San Francisco bans sale of flavored tobacco products, menthol cigarettes
***
Nearly 70 percent of voters approved the ban.
***
[Kiff sigh]
***
“San Francisco’s groundbreaking law stands — and will stop the tobacco industry from targeting kids, African Americans and other populations with menthol- and candy-flavored products, as the industry has done for far too long,” Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids President Matthew Myers said in a statement.
***
13 year olds start smoking because of fruit flavored cigarettes? Yeah, that’s the ticket!
[head desk]
Shorter San Francisco city council: “SUBMIT TO OUR OMNIPOTENT WILL”
Shorter San Francisco residents: “Yes! Please! More!”
“We don’t stereo type people like those evil deplorables, but we all know blacks can’t resist a menthol cigarette.”
*golf clap*
+1 Pack of Newports and three vodka tonics
What would those poor stupid kids and Black people do without those benevolent good government men?
Fruit-flavored cigarettes were already gone under FDA rules, so SanFran is specifically going after menthols and flavored cigars popular for rolling blunts. It’s hard to honestly argue they aren’t going after Black consumers specifically.
And the bansturbators go after flavored vaping liquids, too.
When I found out you couldn’t buy clove cigarettes any longer, a part of my childhood died.
– many Djarums and Cure songs
+1 Indonesia.
Someday I’m gonna plant some cloves out back. Driving through an area where they’re harvested and dried is pure bliss.
Ha ha. Went to a Cure show with a friend. He smoked clove cigs the entire show. It was at an outdoor place and we just chilled in the last few rows of seating while everyone else was either on the lawn or up closer to the stage.
Where did he cough up the lung afterwards?
Oh, and I’m going to take a wild guess that SF still taxes the everloving fuck out of cigarettes because children and nothing whatsoever to do with filling the city treasury.
You were a goth kid?
Punk and local garage band scene. Goth as a teen sub-type barely existed yet, although the roots of the scene we still jumbled in with us.
you still can, they’re just sold in 12 packs vs 20 and called “flavored cigars” now. Literally nothing else changed (not even the price! 12 for the price of 20!)
Black cig smokers likely won’t quit though, they’ll just switch to a nonmenthol brand, like Marlboro reds with their smooth and rich tobacco flavor.
He then might as well have added, “Those poor, easily bamboozled African Americans – you can tell I respect them because I use the currently accepted terminology – will no longer be exploited by white tricknology.”
Tricknology is m favorite word this year. Just rolls off the tongue.
The SF city council wants to push blacks into Oakland, makes up bullshit health reasons for racist policy.
I for one look forward to the reports of a resurgent mafia in SF setting up black markets for menthols.
Yeah, I said black. Big deal. Wanna fight about it!?
AH! NOT AGAIN!

de Blasio’s education plan:
‘It’s like the [Education Department’s] motto is, ‘If it’s not broken, break it.’” So said state Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz, in an apt summary of plans by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio to diminish standards at eight high-performing public high schools.
Mr. Dinowitz, who was quoted in the New York Post, is a proud alum of the Bronx High School of Science. In America’s largest school system, where most children are failing proficiency tests in math and reading, only a modern progressive such as Mr. de Blasio could think the solution is watering down standards at the schools where students are achieving.
The mayor is alarmed because Asian students are disproportionately doing far better than black and Latino kids. At Manhattan’s prestigious Stuyvesant High School, for example, 2.8% of students are Latino and 0.69% black. But 72.9% are Asian-American.
The disproportion is similar at other high-achieving New York City schools where admission is determined by an achievement test. Mr. de Blasio’s solution requires taking seats at these elite schools from Asian or white students and giving them to less qualified black and Latino children who may not be prepared for the academic demands. Either he’s setting these students up to fail, or he’ll have to ruin the schools by dumbing down their standards.
The mayor wants to scrap the Specialized High School Admissions Test and introduce a quota of 20% for students from high-poverty schools. He complains that though there are almost 600 middle schools across the city, “half the students admitted to the specialized high schools last year came from just 21 of those schools.” He’s right that the school system he presides over does a grave disservice to black and Latino children. But he’ll never admit that the reason is because the public schools are run by and for adults, i.e., the teachers unions that are Mr. de Blasio’s political allies.

So my employer wants everyone to take one of those idiotic psychobabble personality tests that HR and upper management people apparently go gaga over. (Insights Discovery in this case)
The process is something like this.
They show you four pairs of words on each page and you are supposed to rate one pairing as ‘most like me’ another as ‘least like me’ and the two remaining somewhere in the middle, but must be different values. Repeat this 25 times and then they will tell you who you are or some such nonsense.
So the current four pairs of words I’m looking at
Systematic and principled
Fun-loving and popular
Steadying and moderating
Fast and reinforcing
Now, that last one. Just what in the bloody hell does that mean? Fast? Fast in what way?
Even worse is in a few days we get to sit for four hours listening to some quack talk about this crap.
Since they apparently don’t share it with anyone I’m quite tempted to just go random and not even look at the word pairs.
God, I hate all that horseshit. Thankfully my current job is mostly, “you do far above average work, so we will pay you accordingly” – not much navel gazing.
Fast and reinforcing
Hawt.

Fast and reinforcing —
Means ‘stop eating’ and ‘build that wall’

Lamborghini isn’t going electric any time soon.
https://www.motor1.com/news/244284/lamborghini-talks-electric-supercar-possibility/
“According to Reggiani, an electric Lamborghini supercar needs to achieve a top speed in excess of 186 miles per hour (300 kilometers per hour), and the batteries need to allow for three laps of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. These stipulations are interesting because current technology would seem to allow for such a vehicle. For example, the Rimac Concept_One has 1,224 horsepower (900 kilowatts) and hits a top speed of 221 mph (355 kph). The 90-kilowatt-hour battery provides a claimed 217-mile (350-kilometer) range, but it’s not clear how far the pack would last at full speed around the ‘Ring.”
Good, a Lambo should be trying to kill you in a hurtling ball of wreckage because you were a millimeter off in turning the wheel or a millisecond late in lifting off the gas. Not because it bursts into flames while sitting on the side of the road with overheated batteries
Lol. Not clear is right. I wonder if they’ll even let electrics on the Ring. The more Teslas burst into flame, the less I’d want to have to fight the fires.

Oh, you’ll be full out.
Yep. Pretty much the way Top Gear tested the Bugatti Veyron to see whether its top speed claims held up. With a full tank of gas, under the same conditions, the Veyron would only go 250+ mph for twelve minutes. Of course, they ran outta straightaway at the Ring before then.

https://quillette.com/2018/06/07/explaining-monogamy-vox/
This kid (still a student like the one above) runs circles around Vox and it also highlights the key difference between actual, real life, legitimate academic work vs. bullshit Voxsplaining. Actual academic research extensively cites work in reputable, peer-reviewed publications and draws conclusions using logical arguments derived from those publications and the researchers hypothesis. Voxsplainers start with a predetermined conclusion, then construct a narrative around that conclusion while doling out bogus “support” from “experts” to bolster their confirmation bias (Dan Savage as a source? Are you fucking kidding me?).
Academic research and the peer-review process are far from perfect, and can also be corrupted, but they are a far sight better than shitty Voxsplaining horseshit.

We already have too much work in the United States. Why not redistribute it?
https://www.jacobinmag.com/2018/06/working-hours-vacation-productivity-united-states-nordic
***
What this all shows is that we don’t need more work in America. We have too much of it already.
There is a good case for redistributing the work in the US a bit more broadly. The best way to do that would be to decrease the amount of hours people currently employed have to work by providing more holidays, vacation, paid leave, and sick leave, and then increasing the ability of others to work by providing social care for children, the elderly, and the disabled and by implementing active labor market policies.

Let’s start by leaving NATO and see if US hours worked goes down or the Nords hours worked goes up.

“The War on Dignity
Claire Lehmann reviews Bradley Campbell’s and Jason Manning’s “The Rise of Victimhood Culture”
In The Rise of Victimhood Culture, Campbell and Manning describe the three main moral cultures that exist today: “dignity,” “honor,” and “victimhood,” and the various behaviors associated with each.
A dignity culture, they explain, has a set of moral values and behavioral norms designed to promote the idea that each human life possesses immutable worth. If an individual has been brutalized or exists at the bottom of a social pecking order, she still has human worth. In a dignity culture, children are encouraged to try their best and are taught aphorisms such as “sticks and stones make break my bones, but words will never hurt me.”
By contrast, in an honor culture, being on the bottom of a social pecking order is associated with great shame. Victims are tainted and often punished for bringing dishonor to their families. In some extreme circumstances, they may even be killed.
A victimhood culture departs from both by inverting their norms. On a university campus, for example, victims are not shamed but are instead fiercely protected, and now awarded status. This dynamic could be observed as early as 2015, in the reception to Emma Sulkowicz’s protest against a sexual assault she alleged had taken place. It consisted of her carrying her mattress around the Columbia University campus, including to class, under the condition that her accused rapist needed to be expelled in order for her to stop. For this performance, she was widely criticized, but she was also heralded as a feminist hero. The New York Times art critic Roberta Smith called it “succinct and powerful” and added that Sulkowicz has “set a very high standard for any future work she’ll do as an artist.” Although Columbia University and the New York Police Department failed to establish any wrongdoing on the part of the student Sulkowicz had accused, for art critics such as Smith, the accused student’s guilt was a fait accompli. That such awards and accolades might incentivize vexatious or false complaints in a student body seemed not to matter to adults in charge.”
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/war-on-dignity/
“What the purveyors of victimhood culture do not seem to grasp is that in weakening dignity, and in undermining the principles that deem all men and women to be moral equals, they unwittingly destroy the safeguards that prevent bad actors—such as hoaxers and narcissists—from climbing the social hierarchy through dishonesty and manipulation. In incentivizing weakness and reliance on third parties to intervene in disputes, students invite a paternalistic authoritarian apparatus to develop. While they seem comfortable with an authoritarian apparatus on their university campus today, we should not be surprised if they demand an authoritarian state to police the citizenry tomorrow. The logical endpoint of a victimhood culture will not be a progressive utopia. On the contrary: The further this culture radiates outward, the more likely it will make victims of us all.”
They are Roperites, trying to cut down all the trees in the land to get at their devil.
I’d dispute that. Universal misery is progressive utopia.
This argument seems to have the personality test problem, imo.
By separating into categories do you prove anything? Perhaps there are millions of nuances. You can place things into any number of categories.
You know who elsewrote a commentary on Campbell and Manning’s paper?

So, if your lemonade stand has incurred a fine during the 2017 or 2018 calendar year OR if you’ve purchased a permit for 2018 so your miniature entrepreneur can sell lemonade, turn to the good folks at Legal-Ade. We’ll cover your fine or permit fees up to $300.”

I spent the thunderstormy evening reviewing some of the footage I’ve been taking, and came to the following conclusions:
GoPro Videos from UnCivil’s Road trip that are usable –
Hershey’s Create Your Own Candy Bar Machine in action.
Some short videos walking around the Florida Caverns State Park (Above Ground)
Some Short Videos walking around Panama City Beach at dawn
Shooting the 1911 at the Indoor Range. (This one came out almost perfect in terms of the image framing I was going for. Can’t tell about audio just yet)
GoPro Videos with issues That might still be salvaged –
Caverns at Natural Arch – Lighting
Florida Caverns – Lighting, other members of Public caught on video
GoPro Videos that are doomed –
Shooting the S&W Model 10 – Bad Angle, No content in field of view
Shooting the Customized AR – Bad Angle, lining up with iron sights put camera view on ejection port.
I had a Model 10. It was spectacular. I was retarded for selling it,
It was nice shooting – but it wasn’t in the video frame, so there’s nothing to show.
I haven’t been as accurate with any gun as that one. Nothing special, I know, but I liked that one.
I personally did better with the 1911. It was something about the way I held it while pulling the trigger that threw me off with the Model 10.
DA vs SA. The 10 is smooth but that 1911 was probably glass. I shot revolvers a lot before I ever touched a semiauto.
Watching the 1911 footage I see that you’re probably right. Between magazines, I left the slide locked back, so the sequence always started with a cocked hammer, and never had the full double action trigger pull.
We had some spectacular lightening last night. Very impressive.

https://twitter.com/ToddHagopian/status/1004573194672623616
That’s ignoring the cost of enforcement, sales taxes, etc.
I’m aligned regarding imprisonment of drug offenders, but the tax math doesn’t add-up. Assume minimum wage at FT employment, current tax rate – not even close. Based-on Hagopian’s shown data, he is using “average” taxes per American to calculate.
Fair enough.
All drugs should be legal even if it costs the government money.
Not that the amount of taxes collected by the government in Case X is relevent, but I’m not seeing evidence that all of the drug users in question would even be employed. what proportion of them would otherwise sit at home, stoned off their asses collecting welfare benefits? For every wall street coke bust, you have thousands of unemployed welfare recipients caught with a joint. In fact, I’d wager the numbers show a disporportionate number of those serving time come from the bottommost economic strata.

“MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski accused President Trump on Thursday of complaining that he can’t watch porn in the White House.
Brzezinski, who has been in a vicious feud with Trump for most of his presidency, made the extraordinary charge while appearing on “MSNBC Live with Stephanie Ruhle,” citing “someone who spoke” to Trump about his life in the White House.
The comments came up after Ruhle interviewed Michael Avenatti, the attorney for adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, over remarks by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani about his client. Giuliani attacked the credibility of Daniels, saying that “if you’re going to sell your body for money, you just don’t have a reputation.”
“The hypocrisy is astounding,” Brzezinski said of Giuliani’s remarks about Daniels, who says that she slept with Trump and was paid to keep quiet.
“Because I know someone who spoke to Donald Trump recently about life in the White House,” Brzezinski continued, “and Donald Trump’s biggest complaint was that he’s not allowed to watch porn in the White House.”

CIvil war was kinda important, although that’s the Avenger’s problem I guess.
The civil war was avoidable.
I think 1812 was legitimate. And WWII is defensible, because Pearl Harbor.
You are probably correct on 1812. I don’t know the history.
WW2 not so much. An American embargo on oil shipped to Japan triggered the attack on pearl harbor. We could have easily sat out ww2 by not imposing sanctions on imperial japan.
btw,
most Americans didn’t want to get involved in another European war. It took the clandestine goading of the Japanese government by the American government to convince the Americans to fight.
Also. The terrorists already won. The definition of terrorism is using violence to affect political change.
AUMF, Patriot Act, NSA broadly collecting data.
The terrorists had an oddly bureaucratic platform then.
Osama bin Laden’s stated goal was to get America embroiled in a forever war in Afghanistan. He did a pretty good job of achieving his goal.
If the mission of the US military was just to defend the territory of the US, the military could be a lot smaller and the budget a lot lower. However, the US military is called upon to do many other things, such as: disaster relief, peace keeping, training foreign militaries, defending other countries, and other missions.
To do these things well, the US military needs a lot of money.
If you don’t like what the US military is doing or how much it is spending, vote for politicians who promise to reduce the role of the US military, Many US military members vote as such already.
