Kazinsal posted:I noticed they're referring to him as Mr. Trump in the article. I do. I’m pretty sure it’s a standard convention. I believe they typically refer to the person as “President” at the first mention, though. Also why the gently caress would anyone believe that Pence would inherit an administration that’s in complete shambles and make it an effective instrument for evil? It’d take a year just to weed out the toadies and backstabbers, never mind repairing the relationships with congress, the nation, and the planet and drafting new legislation.

Smiling Jack posted:The NRO patches are 100% legit works of art which usually have a hidden reference to something about the mission and they should really be in a museum somewhere. Typically when a patch is designed well every symbol on it means something. When I worked on Minotaur launches the stars would represent all the previous launches. Usually what the different figures represent is way more literal than you might expect. They're also not really taken all that seriously. Sometimes you luck out and find somebody in the office who's motivated and an excellent graphic designer, sometimes you just task the most junior guy.

If the DNC doesn't reallocate resources to take advantage of this turn of events then they truly are worthless trash.

boop the snoot posted:I just think this thread has horrible confirmation bias and I stand by my opinion that if Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell had a picture like that come out this thread would be crucifying them for it. I know I sure as gently caress would. But since Franken is “our guy” he gets a pass until more several more women come forward. I will absolutely give a lot more rope to people who haven’t spent their entire career trying to deprive women, minorities, and the impoverished of healthcare and civil rights and convincing the masses that they can blame immigrants and leftists for their poor situation. You’re intentionally avoiding the fact that the first instance of allegations against Franken was acknowledged met with an admission, an apology, and an acceptance of that apology, all of which are completely at odds with how Pedo Moore and much of the Republican Party leadership try to deal with those issues. I didn’t think Franken should have resigned after that, but I sure did change my opinion once it became clear that wasn’t the end of it.

I can see at least one reason why physically intense jobs aren’t so popular in the US besides millennials being lazy. This forum is full of people the military used up and broke in the normal course of their duties, and they all at least had socialized healthcare to fall back on. The families of my friends back home in Virginia are likewise full of examples of people who got “too old” to hold down their electrician/general contractor/groundskeeping/whatever gig at the ripe old age of 40. Usually there’s some fall or other injury they never got adequate treatment for, but that kind of work can simply use you up.
