Sestak was a cool interview

Good news: he's a new deal democrat
Bad news: he's just a new deal democrat

other than that though listening to his tirade about how war with Iran is suicide was good

Actually I remember them talking about a very similar situation sometime in the last year. Basically their take was that people like bret stevens literally never had to confront what real people thought of them until they got on twitter

like the only non-millionaires guys like him ever interact with irl are in the service industry and are paid to be nice

And if they fail to be sufficiently nice, you get to complain about them and get them fired.

yeah it makes sense considering he's delusional enough to think people wouldn't call him poo poo to his face.

It's weird there isn't more "bin laden is alive" conspiracy theories.

I mean, the military's story is "We killed him and dumped him in the ocean, no you can't see the pictures".

I've always loved that the official military story is just the end of the first Michael Bay Transformers

The thing that struck me is that his daughter is dying of cancer and he's decided to spend his time living in a motel in Iowa and arguing with Virgil Texas about whether serving on a surface ship or a submarine is more fun.




He's completely out of his mind.

I actually liked his cadence.

It was aggrandizing the IMF of all godforsaken things that was driving me crazy, and acting like the US wouldn’t do the exact same plays for strategic ports and locations. Matt was right when he said at least countries are getting infrastructure out of it.

He probably imagines it as a West Wing-style scene where he responds with the perfect uninterrupted monologue about seriousness and responsibility and the value of hard work that makes you hang your head in shame and makes his wife and kids so proud, which he follows up by magnanimously offering you dessert.

not releasing a single picture is so goddamn stupid. i know the guy that goes on fox news and sorta lies about being the one to kill bin laden (he wasn't supposed to be on that floor and another seal had already shot bin laden) canoed him so it was a mess but this is a guy we burned half the world for. we saw uday and qusay and those weren't pretty.

I still maintain that the reason there are no pictures was because he was still alive when they threw him off the boat.

Technically if you manage to cause an extinction event on the scale of what took out the dinosaurs (i.e. killing 99.99% of plants and animals weighing more than like 40 lbs.) without also turning the atmosphere into venus nature would eventually reclaim the planet and things would be alright for a few additional eons

I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.

That conspiracy never made sense to me. Wouldn't Al-Qaida just put him in front of a camera and say "look how stupid the US are! They didn't even kill him. Fake news." Unless he was already dead ofc.

Fascists love the "environment." It's just the environment as represented by ruralist idealism. If it's not fit for cultivation then it's just a wilderness that's waiting to be tamed.
