Ok, lets give this another go.

This isn't the drunk thread so please cut down on the drunk thread posting. I'm not saying no jokes but put some drat effort into it instead of empty-quoting "burn the world in nuclear fire" for a page and a half. I'm super serious about this.

Also, stop trying to score points against D&D it's stupid and petty. Let them circle jerk and think they're changing the world by posting words on the internet. I'd rather have actual discussion.

Ferguson is going down soon. I'm inSt Louis Saturday and Sunday- I got a couple of state trooper bro's who are kinda nervous. Local LE may have poisoned the thing too far and out of towners might actually be a thing (Tm).

You hear about the charming guys they arrested buying bomb parts? Some of those wonderful lads from New Black Panther Party.*

*I swear they're so moronic you'd think they were a false flag group run by some very dumb white people.

According to a federal indictment, the two suspects, Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis, made false statements while purchasing two guns, Hi-Point ACP pistols, at a Cabela’s sporting good store in Hazelwood, Mo. – about five miles from Ferguson – sometime between Nov. 1 and Nov. 13. Two officials told NBC News that the men claimed to be associated with the New Black Panther Party and that they also wanted to acquire bombs.

He ducked to get out of the way of the gun and accidentally rear-ended another car. He said the accident caused the gun to go off and she was struck by a bullet in the head, the sources said.

Hagel is stepping down. No idea why as the tv had the sound off at work.

Courthouse

Looks like Hagel is getting the boot

quote:

The officials described Mr. Obama’s decision to remove Mr. Hagel, 68, as a recognition that the threat from the Islamic State would require a different kind of skills than those that Mr. Hagel was brought on to employ. A Republican with military experience who was skeptical about the Iraq war, Mr. Hagel came in to manage the Afghanistan combat withdrawal and the shrinking Pentagon budget in the era of budget sequestration.

But now “the next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus,” one administration official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. He insisted that Mr. Hagel was not fired, saying that he initiated discussions about his future two weeks ago with the president, and that the two men mutually agreed that it was time for him to leave.

But Mr. Hagel’s aides had maintained in recent weeks that he expected to serve the full four years as defense secretary. His removal appears to be an effort by the White House to show that it is sensitive to critics who have pointed to stumbles in the government’s early response to several national security issues, including the Ebola crisis and the threat posed by the Islamic State.

Even before the announcement of Mr. Hagel’s removal, Obama officials were speculating on his possible replacement. At the top of the list are Michèle Flournoy, the former under secretary of defense; Senator Jack Reed, Democrat of Rhode Island and a former officer with the Army’s 82nd Airborne; and Ashton B. Carter, a former deputy secretary of defense.

So glad I left St Louis for the south. That place has a special kind of racism that honest to god even gave me pause at times, and I'll be honest and cop to having some racial biases that are bad.

poo poo is lol as all gently caress though. There are seriously bad racial problems and white police loving exclusively with black people issues here.. But the local blacks picked the wrong model to hold up for whitey to see. And if you think I'm being a dumb racist poo poo lemme remind you that we only know the name Rosa Parks because she kept her legs closed as a young black woman.

Mike Brown couldn't be a worse poster child, and it's a shame bc St Louis is legit hosed up. And if I admit that, you know the blacks there may have a legit complaint or 3. I bet outta any 5 or so complaints these protestors have, at least 3 of them will be real.

You would have loved life from 2005 to 2009 if you got the right gig then man. You didn't even need a beret or to pass the Q course to play bearded trigger puller or to be one of their groupies when the wars were desperate enough and we were throwing everything at the wall and calling it special ops or counter terrorism. Hahaha loving Stan the Man McChrystal was a million times the gangster and leader that Nucky Thompson could have dreamed of, and Mike Flynn is the last example of an intelligence officer worth compromising your own ambiguous morals for, and the goddamn truth is that when Bush let us, The U.S. military, do it we were the most effective loving terrorists on earth by such a wide margin it's not even funny.
