And the current top news story on my phone is them going on about how great the economy is. This place is hosed lmao

It's so dumb too because I keep hearing people who are Dems or lean dem in DC say the same poo poo and "oh no, if the economy is good, then Trump is a shoe in!" without a hint of irony or realizing that, hey the economy is great for people on wall street or live on the coasts...other places, not so much.

It's like they didn't get the memo that even when the economy was "doing great!" in 2016, most people couldn't loving tell because of how lopsided wealth is in this country. Saying it till your blue in the face doesn't change anything for people who are underemployed or living in rust belt areas that have been hosed.

I mean Warren and Sanders seem to get it...wonder when everyone else will get the loving memo.

EDIT: My Congressman is co-sponsoring, McNally. I'll call them later on today though and just mention that I'm glad he's doing so and hope he sees it through.

Fuckin' lol at the Comp Sci professor with "I don't see racism here!"


Always funny to hear that from white people in TYOL 2019. Cause I mean it's basically saying that you're either a liar or stupid as gently caress. Take your pick.

Hahahahaha 4th of July in DC is going to suck so hard this year; so glad I’m going to be out of town for the suckfest.

This poo poo annoys me because my backyard overlooks the DC Skyline and it's pretty sweet for the Fourth and whenever they do random airshows like that WW2 one a few years back.

I'm not close enough that I'll be able to hear his bullshit, but this is likely going to be the last year I'm in this place till I buy a house so I'd like to enjoy fireworks and hanging out with my friends without his stupid rear end ruining it.

Not boot camp (it was LTC for army rotc I think) but I remember the Baptist chaplain demanding 10 minutes of our time while he walked up and down the barracks lane jerking himself off with the sheep dog speech and some other bullshit. It was definitely one of those "gently caress maybe I don't want to put up with this kind of poo poo for four years" moments.

The Catholic chaplain in comparison seemed chill and gave anyone who talked to him a gatorade.

The single red parking cone reminds us of the lives of these Americans, and their loved ones and friends who keep the faith, while seeking answers.

The lone potted juniper reminds us that all plants in the Garden Center are 25% off today.

I never thought I'd say this, but there's no Army of the Potomac challenge coin and this needs to change because they sell loving R.E. Lee ones for poo poo's sake.

What the gently caress?


Semi-related. I've been reading Gov. John Andrew's (gov of Mass during the Civil War) correspondence for the past few weeks for work. It can be really boring sometimes, but there's so much gold in these letters. Love that I'm getting paid to do this poo poo now.

Highlights include...

-Chaplain from a Mass regiment complaining that soldiers drink and swear too much. Wants the governor to appoint a new regimental commander in to get things fixed up. This is about a week before Bull Run lol.

-Whole lotta letters from people asking for commissions and such, but one dude straight up pushing to get a guy he knows from New Orleans a commission because he fled New Orleans rather than stay and take an oath to the confederacy. Other one is from a dude who was in the British army for 15 years and wants to help train volunteers and fight secessionists if need be.

-Our boy Sherman came up for a visit post Bull Run. Nothing super interesting, just mostly inquires about how many volunteer regiments the New England states can raise, etc.

Nothing about the 54th yet, though I'm still reading through 1861's mail.
