This must be how people living with the constant fear of MAD in the 1980s felt :stare:

I sometimes think of how the average person in Europe prior to WWI and WWII was probably sure this madness would all die down sometime, and things would go back to normal.

I'm genuinely certain we're going to declare a state of total war soon.

I've always found a particular satisfaction in the irony and lack of awareness of those repping the confederate flag while a member of the US government's armed forces.

In my experience, they're also usually completely incapable of disregarding retarded orders in peacetime operations, which makes me wonder if they could even comprehend initiating an actual rebellion.

A proto-fascist comes to power but his staff can't get anything of substance done because not only do they not understand how the government works, they're too busy infighting, getting lost in the White House, and failing to find the light switches to figure it out.

Meanwhile the dude in charge is so obsessed with being in charge that he spends none of his time actually being in charge and all of his his time watching TV to see what people think of him being in charge and giving tours of his new house to show off how in charge he is.

Also the whole thing could be brought down like a house of cards by a weekly comedy show.

From my Facebook feed

quote:

Imagine for one second you just retired with 25 years as a fire fighter, police officer or paramedic, only to learn the health benefits promised to you for performing said services must be paid 100% by you, which costs over $1000 a month. Now, imagine your pension is only $2200 a month. What would you do? That IS the reality of retirement for Memphis Police and Fire Department employees. Think about that for a minute and ask yourself, what would you do? How would you feel?

I replied:

Universal Healthcare coverage for all???

They fired back:

Lollipops and roses. That's why thousands of these free Healthcare receiving people come here for care I'm sure. We've had this conversation Wasabi. I'll never support a single payer system.

These people are loving hopeless. I tried to explain.

quote:

But i mean, you asked what I would do, and this would cleanly address both this issue and the issue of those who cannot work getting healthcare.

It really feels like you're denying the citizens who are dealing with this business out of spite, simply because people you feel don't deserve it would get something out of it.

President Donald Trump won’t guarantee that his next national security adviser will have full control over staffing and process, a move that is shortening the list of people willing to take the job at a tumultuous moment for the new administration, people familiar with the matter said.

Retired Vice Adm. Bob Harward and retired Gen. David Petraeus have dropped out of consideration for the critical post, which became vacant with Monday’s firing of Michael Flynn, these people said. Both candidates have cited concerns about staffing and independence, the people said.

This is exactly what Bannon et al. want.

You're both right.

They being said, minority's rights mean a lot more to me than protecting the feelings of an elected official or public figure.

This pervasive attitude that feminist = screeching harpy or minority advocate = SJW has made it easier to dismiss LEGITIMATE complaints from those people who had no choice in their genetic makeup.

You can choose not to be Republican. You can't stop being trans or black or a woman.
