Can we ban Trump's nominations while we reassess the vetting process?

Did the military told Trump that this was a bad idea? Even then, if it was such a bad idea, why did they go through with it if it seemed so suicidal?

As an Aussie, I'd just like to point out that our Ambassador to the United States is a guy called Joe Hockey. This is a guy who, while treasurer of the whole drat country, managed to get photographed by the media smoking a cigar with the finance minister, RIGHT after delivering an unprecedentedly austere budget designed to rip the floor out of the social safety net, and giving a big speech to the country about "the age of entitlement being over".

And that was just his first fuckup. He was so tone deaf that when they booted Tony Abbott out of the Prime Ministership he wasn't just dumped - they recalled the sitting ambassador and gave him the job because it was literally the only way to get him the gently caress out of the House of Reps (and the public eye) without finding a way to file criminal charges. We used to give the post to outgoing foreign ministers, but now we just give it to anyone who fucks up enough that we need them out of the country.

Screw SS-18, we're going to eat a Minuteman any day now.

I'd assume Trump would have started a pan-Asian war to assist with his 2020 re-election? Because we all know he's going to do the full 2 terms and then pull a Putin.

Back in 2015 some 4chan shitbags decided to go to a protest of the Jamar Clark shooting. It ended with one of them firing into the crowd. Now dipshit has been charged with felony assault and riot, and probably will get 12 years in jail. This has been your good news for the day.

Jesus gently caress:

quote:

Under blistering cross-examination by Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Judith Hawley, Scarsella had little defense for the numerous racist texts he sent out in the year before the shooting. In one he suggested putting a confederate flag on a gun handle to “tempt a chimp to chimp out, that way you can shoot him.”

In another, he suggested a friend go with him to target practice “for when we have to shoot black guys.”


On the day of the shooting, he texted his girlfriend that “smelly brown people” should “just gas themselves, honestly.”

Some of those texts were sent to Brett Levin, who at the time was a Mankato police officer. On the stand, Levin acknowledged getting the texts and responding with similar racist messages of his own.

“How we were talking was more along the lines of locker room talk,” said Levin, who was a Burnsville police officer when he testified. He has since resigned from the force.

Just locker room banter about killing "chimps," ho hum, no biggie.

Well, the cop isn't in any trouble at all aside from resigning, and the shooter doesn't face more than assault charges, so max is 20 years and 12-17 years is more likely, according to prosecutors. Unless you meant other prisoners won't let him out of prison.

A white man praising a white man on the first day of black history month while not-so-subtly reminding African-Americans of the fact that they used to be slaves. It's a lot like celebrating Juneteenth.
