  1. And the response from the opposition needs to be "this administration is made of nothing but scum, who do nothing but lie to the good Americans who made the mistake of giving them power. Imagine committing treason, risking the lives of our warfighters, and then trying to blame someone else for your betrayal of our country. Scum and traitors, that's all these people are."
  2. Yep. Be mean. BE FUCKING MEAN. Mean gets attention. Attention is the sole commodity of value in the modern political economy. Seize it, and don't ever let it go.
  3. Damn near my exact take....right down to the "I can't read any more of this utter shite used to excuse the worst behaviors."
  4. This too. Call them what they are. "The Secretary of Defense responded to evidence of his treason and utter disregard for our brave warfighters with lies. Our fighting men and women deserve better. The ones who sacrificed their lives and rest in Arlington deserve better. If the SECDEF doesn't resign immediately, he'll end up sending more brave Americans to be buried at Arlington, killed by his mistakes and disregard for the truth."
  5. They have to be relentless. They have to be everywhere, saying this over and over again. They have to say hot words, like "treason" and "risking the lives of our brave warfighters." The exact same words, over and over, so they drown out everything else. In a world where all that matters is noise....be a fucking heavy metal concert.
  6. Well....doesn't matter now, because the POTUS insists that the entire thread is NOT classified. So, her cover is blown, as a matter of fact and law....unless, of course, the POTUS doesn't mean/is lying about the thread not being classified. Which is it, Whiskeyleaks team.....is all the info not classified, so our asset's cover is blown, or is it classified, so that Whiskeyleaks fucked up and shared classified information? God, these people are such giant lying sacks of shit.
  7. Sorry, dude.
  8. Sure. Easy-peasy. First, you need a clock tower.....
  9. That guy...is insane and evil. If you want to get a snapshot of how he thinks (spoiler: everything is the fault of all those bitches), here you go: Oh, and there's other stuff in there that's even worse. He starts from a premise that is credible: that empathy run amok can be a bad thing......and then proceeds to twist the premise to justify his worldview that utterly justifies and explains away every cruelty to be visited on those he doesn't like. It's the well-spoken rantings of a genuine sociopath.
  10. Well then, good sir -- you need to leave these parts. As you can plainly see, Surly only allows posts by people with significant cognitive impairment below the baseline.
  11. As a follow-up, thoughts from someone I know who had rather high level security clearance for over a decade (via the Senate foreign intelligence committee): Key points, not just coming from us lay people, but from someone who was occasionally in the room as strikes were being discussed, prepared, and launched: 1) using non gov't apps and devices to communicate official info is intended to avoid accountability and the legal requirements of maintaining records of gov't action. 2) everyone knows that this is an unacceptable security risk. 3) failures like this actually put the lives of our "warfighters" (man, the conservatives love that word, so let's use it) at risk. If news of planned targets and delivery platforms (F-18s) were leaked in advance, the enemy would have had the opportunity to put AA resources along the way, possibly shooting down and killing some of our aircrews. It was done for an illegal and criminal purpose, and created risk not just in theory, but to actual lives of American servicemembers, all because we are staffed with criminal rank amateurs. Fucking well-done, Trump administration. I'd call your entire admin a shitshow, but that would be an insult to turds that actually perform the function of evacuating waste from the human body.
  12. There is a 500% chance that dude 1) is quickly pardoned and 2) appointed something like "Election Security Czar" in the Trump administration.
  13. But see, Brisket is being hyperbolic and alarmist.
  14. Also true. My wife is really looking to dial back her wedding business. And a part of that is the fact that probably better than 50% of her weddings are in the Dripping Springs area, and she is sick of making that drive. It's stressful, always lots of traffic, and dangerous as hell (she's been caught in traffic behind more than one fatal accident out there). It's just not worth it. Plus, that means that more of her Saturdays are free for us to hang out and go to football and soccer games and such.
  15. That.....is fucking metal.
  16. I'd rather burn in at 200 mph and have some laughs, then to eat it in a car accident, I mean thats a really dumb way to go. No, really, you see like the one thing I wanna do before I join the cosmos is to hang glide off of Mt. Everest. Yeah, but wait, this is the best part: NAKED!
  17. 100%. Seriously, have had that conversation with friends. Realizing 1) how inherently dangerous travel is by car, and then 2) how EXTRA-dangerous it is/was when young, stupid, often drunk college students are involved (yeah, I was at UT in the late 80s), it is an inescapable conclusion that based on just the fact that they are hardly ever in a car (Ubers sometimes, and occasional road trips on highways that are much slower and safer than ours), my kids' safety risk in college was WAY lower than ours. And I still break into a cold sweat when I stop and think/realize that you can be doing everything right, and then a fucking dump truck jumps the median and kills you dead, you never had a chance. That....fucking bothers me. A lot.
  18. One can do both. I intend to make the best of things for me and mine. Everyone else can get fucked. That's the path they intend to charge down, and I'm not going to waste any more energy trying to stop them. Stop having faith in humanity. You're just lying to yourself.
  19. Counterpoint: name your dick "leaf," and just sit back and wait to be blown.
  20. Ahh, but perhaps you missed the central -- and coincidentally, ONLY -- rule/law for MAGA: "RULES FOR THEE, NOT FOR ME." I'm not being hyperbolic. That is literally the only governing law/rule in our government right now. Everything else follows from that.
