Go back and watch his 2020 debate footage or his VP debates. This was not his stutter.

Because Still Lasers aren’t lethal, duh!

As long as it happens on a Monday morning.

At the time it was an order of three things. They disbanded the nascent Iraqi National Guard we were training; they forced all reconstruction contracts to go through American contractors; and they banned any Baath party member from public employment and contracts with the coalition/government.

A first year political science student can see where that’s headed. I was a 19 year old Infantry private and I saw what that was going to do. Of course, I also saw the protests and was present for the meetings where locals told our commanders this was going to cause violence because if we didn’t rescind it, because it left large swaths of the population with no legitimate way to provide for their family. But there’s more information that isn’t widely publicized. We had been making an effort to sit on the ammo and ordnance stockpiles to prevent any post war partisan activity. By the end of the summer we had been called off of those and told locals would secure them. Nobody would take responsibility for the order either, just “came down from on high”.

We were absolutely setup as sacrificial lambs to the election cycle back home. Bush got a second term, and to be fair he probably would have if he brought us home right away too. But they didn’t run a former pilot and POW in 2008 by chance. It’s purely his choice of VP that tanked his chances. They wanted to foster instability right through the 2008 election. It left us with ISIS forming in the western Iraq desert and killed any chance of getting rid of the Taliban in Afghanistan. (By 2008 they were properly regrouped in Pashtunistan and no amount of combat operations would dislodge them again.) So they effectively sacrificed an entire country on the altar of domestic politics. I’m convinced they wouldn’t have cared if Iraq had fallen to ISIS either, just another reason to vote for the chicken hawks in their book.

You say that like Bremer and Bush didn’t know that’s exactly what would happen.

Shit I’m still bitter about that decision 21 years later.

Open fields of fire. Pun unintended but welcome.

Nope the Israelis are using smallish trebuchets to burn ground around their northern border outposts. Saves having to patrol out there with a fire setter. Who cares that it’s technically Lebanese land…

Nah, NCD would draw plane waifus and florks. As evidenced by the history of the sub…

You have to be careful of charities that say they’re forcing the person to change for their own good. Often they do more harm than good. It is true though that soup kitchen charities can stretch a dollar further.

I find homeless people to be a better barometer. There’s nothing cute about the guy living in a tent that smells like piss. But nine times out of ten it ain’t their fault. Most homeless people were/are fully employed and just stopped being able to pay rent because of the price increases, wage stagnation, medical bills, etc. Then, once they’re homeless there’s little to no public facilities for them.

Yet you find some of the most committed liberals saying we need to “just get rid of them”. Yup, fall out of capitalist society and suddenly the final solution is okay with those liberals.

Less restrictive on Asylum seekers? They can’t just cross the border anymore. The BP lets a small number in every day, leaving thousands of people at the mercy of Mexican drug cartels while they wait to cross. They wait to cross because Biden didn’t restore the international standard of declaring asylum on the soil of the country in which you want asylum. Instead he’s trying to force asylum seekers to use an app and visit American consulates in the country they need to flee. And forcing them to stay in the country they need to flee until we tell them it’s okay to leave.

Nothing about this is humane or legal under our own laws or international treaties which we’ve signed and ratified.

Biden undid the covid order in a way he knew would be struck down by the courts. The exact same way we got Trump’s muslim ban struck down. Unlike Trump’s Muslim ban he did not try again until he also made the asylum policy above where anyone availing themselves of the old way gets summarily denied and deported.

He did all of this in plain view and you can’t be assed to find the actual actions, just their PR releases.

Nah they’ll blame the people he alienated. They did it for Hillary, they’ll do it for Biden. They block anything remotely progressive and then wonder why progressives don’t run to the polls for them.

Or, and this is crazy, he could go ask the left for votes instead of trying to pull us all even further to the right.

He’s literally continued Trump’s border policies with the exception of family separation.

They’re air force. So the air force section. Red Bull and a cigarette is the Grunt’s dinner.

100 percent. Just never mix Army and CIA. It spawns a level 5 entity that the black helicopter guys have to take care of.

I once stood up in 7th grade math and insisted that 20 plus 20 was 50. In front of the whole class. The only thing that got through to me was the value of a quarter and how many quarters makes 50 cents.

So anyone got some of those 20 cent coins?

I guess you’ll just need to keep watching anime then.

Awww man I got got.

So did you ever find out?
