The real problem here is that instead of covering our warships out of shame for naming them after known sing songing wanna be war criminals, it is only a narcissistic impulse from the broken personification of everything that is wrong with our electorate that brings such displays to heal.

Once again, you view current malfeasance through a lens of your own ideal construction.  Pro tip: we live in a world that is flawed, with imperfect laws and less than honorable people strewn across the political landscape.  You might actually want to deal with the symptoms now and again, instead of always just hammering on the underlying disease.  #bothsides

Yes, the pic is from earlier maintenance. But the command to hide the ship so not to upset Dear Leader was real.

Protip. It shouldn’t be this hard for a real liberal to say that John McCain is a piece of neocon shit. 

[Guest Lobo]

Wow.  You're really not gonna like when you learn about which Democrats coached up John McCain to become a neo-con.  I know you see the word "con" in there, but you're a child who doesn't understand who really inflated that movement in our country.  Don't get me wrong though...you're doing an outstanding job at the kid's table.

Neocon foreign policy is the fault of liberals? Is that where you are going with this. Ok. Let’s go. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

Broad generalization much?  There’s nothing conservative about neocon foreign policy, at least on the military side.

No apparently, it’s a liberal position.

I mean yeah, you're not wrong, but fuck (this seems familiar). I appreciate you bulldoggedness and adherence to your morals, except that you seem to always gloss over the fact that you're okay with the most powerful person in the world being a petulant, ignorant child.

 

I just don't get it. You're too smart to be so dumb. You have an agenda. It's cleverly disguised, but you do.

Show me in my post where I blamed it on liberals.  There was talk of Democrats, which in the 1960's when the NeoCon movement came to fruition, was a party of more nuance than just liberalism.  Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Podheretz, and so many others whom were leftist Democrats founded the movement.  Or at least kick-started it.  Just because it was the word "conservative" in it doesn't mean it was Ford's idea.

It's my entire point. Somehow this electorate that you hate so much has stumbled into one of the best empires the world has ever seen for centuries, yet you blame them vs. possibly the biggest piece of human shit to ever hold power in multiple generations.

What the fuck do you think that the electorate in 2019 has to do with the series of post war circumstances resulting in the late 20th century pax americana.

It's not that we are terrible, it is that we are just not honest with ourselves wrt what we really are.

 Nor did I say they were behind our current foreign policy.  Not all, not even most, but an incredibly influential portion of the original 1960's/1970's/first term Reagan NeoCon movement were Democrats.  Even left-of-moderate Democrats.  I know you like dropping the term "NeoCons" at parties to sound smarter than just those spouting off about "Conservatives"...but you would do well to know how the Democrats that colored the initial movement still affect it today.  Nobody is saying our current international quagmires are the fault exclusively of Democrats but you brought up the NeoCon movement, not me.  Know who helped start it and how they still influence what is going on today, however indirectly.  Otherwise, stick to vague terms you can get away with at your coffee shop.

Feels like a discussion taking place last time I was around the high time high snack coffee shop.

Maybe London is back on the table again.

And I’m so hoping QE2 throws some subtle shade with her jewelry and wardrobe like she did last time.

I’m also so glad Meghan is on maternity leave and won’t be forced to interact with him especially as she’s the only American in the BRF and would most likely be expected to. Even though we’ll be deprived of seeing her in a tiara for the first time since the wedding.

(They only wear tiaras at official state functions and the RF has only hosted two since she’s been a duchess and they were out of the country both times.)

I do feel sorry that Harry has to attend and be polite to a man that just called his newly post partum wife nasty in an interview with The Fucking Sun (equivalent to The National Enquirer).

I suspect we won’t see anything like this -

White House requests USS McCain be hidden.  Tarp put up on Friday covers only the McCain name on the ship.  The very next day, base commanders ordered the tarp to be removed so all ships adhere to Navy regulations.

If there was "hull maintenance and preservation" going on that needed the tarp there in the first place, why wouldn't the base commanders understand the need to keep it there?  They didn't order the tarp to be removed because the maintenance was over, but instead to "adhere to Navy regulations".  Surely, Navy regulations allow a tarp to be put out if needed for "hull maintenance and preservation", and surely, "hull maintenance and preservation" that is severe enough to need a tarp put out to cover it would not be completed in one day?  (If it had been completed in one day, then the tarp would have been removed naturally in course, right? And not on the order of base commanders for a reason other than completion of the maintenance?)

This is just another bullshit back-fill excuse for a ridiculous act taken out to protect the fragile ego of our dumbmander-in-chief.  Some one (or more) in the Navy allowed the tarp to be put out to cover the McCain name, and then it got noticed higher and was ordered to be removed.  That's all.  "Hull maintenance" is BS.  That the tarp was removed before President Dumbass spoke is meaningless to the action already taken.

I did my fair share of hull maintenance. We rarely if ever used a tarp. I'm hamstrung this weekend because my internet is down, but I thought the photos was from before the order. I could and probably am wrong.

One thing that I'm not wrong about is Trump is a draft dodging piece of shit snowflake and John McCain is living rent free in his head 24/7.

Dems should hire you as their Frank Luntz. Seriously, they seem incapable of creating a simple three word phrase for his fuck ups. Bill Maher brought this up on his show a few weeks ago. He said the tariff issue should be called a "Trump Tax". Republicans are good at this - "Lock Her Up", "Death panels", "Obamacare". Dems do what Pete did in that video - put you to sleep.
