Homercles

9mm? GTA taught me that any bullets landing within 100’ of a sentry at a military base would bring down automatic rifles, machine gun fire from HMMWV, mini guns and rockets from Blackhawks and eventually an Abrams or two.

He…he said…what, hang on…there is no wa…what the fuuuuck? - Homercles, 16 August, year of our lord 2024 How the FUCK do you denigrate, in such a dismissive way, those who earned our nation’s highest honor for valor in combat? An ‘award’ for circumstances that are often so intense, so traumatizing, that the ‘winner’ is either deceased from an incredibly selfless sacrifice or racked by Survivors Guilt such that they disappear from the public eye. I see someone with a CIB/CAB/CMB and it tears at my heart they had to do it ‘for real’ (yes I understand plenty of 11x folks earned EIBs under marginal circumstances and 18’s probably laugh about it). Someone, alive, with an MOH is likely changed forever from a few short minutes of dire circumstances that I can’t fathom while posting to Surly from my comfy bed. I could keep rambling, but even as a sheltered officer’s kid who never made the leap to serve…I cannot even begin to fathom how words like that come out of someone’s mouth, let alone from someone who supposedly was the CiC just a few years ago. That excuse for a ‘man’ can’t die fast enough.

MAGA is ready for genital inspection

Some of y’all mofos need to watch Hunt For Red October again

Maybe he broke the plane

Me in March, when my wife was gone for two weeks to Portugal with her cousin.

So you’re saying somewhere between ABL and a bona-fide colored lady? Do you know what a colored lady is? Not your moms, fo show. Cause if they was that, y’all woulda known better than that bullshit. (Sorry man, inspired to work in one of my favorite moments in a show chock full of em)

Can it automatically format pimphand posts into comic sans and change chainsaw’s periods into tiny versions of this?

The whole military thing pisses me off to the core, especially to enlisted. Soldiers, airmen and sailors get put into a position of need all the time before they get a chance to check all the required boxes. And I’m not strictly taking battlefield promotions or commissions. Some of those positions have a required rank that goes along with it. Are they going to start calling out 3 and 4 star generals? On paper most them are supposed to revert to Brigadier/Major Generals upon leaving the office that brings the extra stars with it. Fuck all the way off with things you don’t understand, especially to an enlisted man with over 20 years.

I thought TTom was banished to the shadow realm or some shit

Finance bros are the worst

Dialog-driven shows don’t bother me…hell my all time favorite is The Wire and love shows like Shrinking. But damn this show needs a Tyrion, a Bronn, a Bunk or even a Paulie Walnuts…someone with serious business and integral to the plot, but serving as comic relief that you root for.

He does look good behind the podium

Seeing this shit makes me incredibly proud of my parents. Early 70’s, white, dad’s a retired USAF full bird and mom was a nurse/QA/admin type…prime demo to get pulled into this shit. Dad tells me all the time about the crazy crap his ‘peers’ in Sun City say…and then proceeds to make fun of them before buzzing away in his electric car. The Colonel rarely cusses, but will get a serious look (the one I feared as a kid) in his eye before saying ‘they’re all a bunch of complete dumbasses’.

My HS experience: Freshman/Sophmore abroad in a veritable melting pot of races and nationalities (Incirlik Air Base, Turkey) to white bread Podunkistan for Junior/Senior years (Burkburnett, Texas). I wanted to burn the whole school and put those smarmy, often racist, spawn of self-righteous Bible thumpers out of their miserable existence.

Ask PRONG HORN…pretty confident he can give you a fact-supported, well researched and, most importantly, balanced position on Shapiro’s history in regards to this matter

This is the kinda hard-hitting, human interest investigative journalism that has kept me a satisfied Shaggy/Surly customer for over a decade

If y’all Beetlejuice that miserable fuckstick Chainsaw back into this thread right now, I will massacre you…I will fuck you up

Hate to even think about it for fear of the jinx, but man I’m still amazed at the sudden burst of enthusiasm to squash the whole right wing conservative movement right now. I’ve been burned before (electing Biden over Trump II, Jan 6, felony convictions, etc)…but this feels different because of the sheer diversity across the US public that are talking about it / donating / Zoom calls. I feared we were going to sleepwalk into Project 2025, Michigan vs App State-style. Really hope that it’s “Ball State leading Alabama 7-0 start of the second quarter” instead.
