yeah you seem like a real gem.

Ok I’m out.

yeah you move out high speed, we’ll call you when we need you. pfft.

Chain of command is a powerful structure

valid. that kind of deception to the rank and file is what we’re seeing with the unlawful attacks right now.

you do realize there’s a difference between your grandparents and the US military command structure, right?

yeah, there are some conservative types, and religious conservative types in the service, but they’re far outnumbered by the people just doing the job. and people who serve have a much better idea of how hypocritical that rhetoric is coming from a bucket of traitor monkeys like faux news.

and I know conservatives who recognize it’s nothing more than a propaganda mill for the GOP. cynically, they don’t stop supporting it, but everyone knows.

as I said, would it be better to have an executive branch that wasn’t a traitorous pile of garbage? Yes.

is it the caribbean? I think of it as the golf of stupidity…

The creep you’re describing - I think the us military institutions can survive an admin of that without total failure, but that’s the miltiary. ICE is rapidly becoming a paramilitary strong point with funding rivaling actual services, staffed with proudboys and 3% types (and apparently, as recently caught, pedophiles) that I worry about more than the Enlisted and NCOs of the services.

I think. I can certainly be wrong. And none of this should be happening in the first place, this isn’t something we should have to consider at all, but thanks to spineless fuckwit republicans covering him, his treason, his insurrection, his lies and crimes, here we are.

It does, however, require you to swear or affirm that you will follow the orders of the President,

LAWFUL ORDERS.

Look, you don’t need a JAG officer on standby to know you’re not supposed to open up on a crowd of fuckin kids. This really isn’t the ambiguous terrain you’re making it out to be.

Would it be better to have an executive branch that wasn’t a fucking traitorous pile of garbage? OF COURSE.

And we don’t have to say “so help me god” unless we want to. Affirming your oath is fine.

thank god we take the oath the constitution and not goblin himmler

I’m just happy if they puke on the hardwood and not on a rug. been thinking about trying to teach them to puke in the shower

I’m ashamed to admit I’ve dragged a dog bodily across the room to get them to puke on the tile or wood flooring. but I’d do it again.

one of my hounds likes to make pukey noises, then go outside AND EAT GRASS THAT MAKES HER VOMIT LIKE CLOCKWORK.

0.o

bro you are your own self fulfilling vomit prophecy. just don’t eat the *@!)$%^*ing grass

you clearly know my pain. then we get to play the game “no, just barf outside, it’s fine to barf out here, look, I can tell you’re gonna yark so just do it…” 40 minutes later as I’m trying to get the family out the door together, HURRK HURRRK HURRRRK HUUUUUURRRK

depends on the cause of the wakeup. alarm? 10 minutes.

kid or dog or cat vomiting? about 12 attoseconds.

I have a better thing to call them — castrated. Or dead, I don’t care — whatever prevents this from happening to other children.

I too dream of a day when consequences are a thing for shitty people. keep hope alive.

the more they try to come up with new terminology to excuse it away, the more I just put them in the bucket labelled ‘kid fuckers’.

yeah, the way I look at it: VR has happened. The vive/index generation of pc grunt behind vr gaming made it worth it. Quest 2/3 are great headsets too - buuuuuuuttt…

as can be pointed out for so many things, Meta has ruined it for everyone by pouring in billions to make… diddly squat, then retreating to AI and throwing their hands up because their thrashing and flailing never made a multibillion profit.

slow and steady - that’s how new tech advances. not whatever the hell meta did. god, damn, did they waste geometric shittons of funding

normally I’d agree, but they really shot themselves in the face this time - conservatives have been bleating about them files for so long they can’t let go now. and I suspect there’s lots of other revealing shit:

IE: Goldman Sachs and others flagging transactions from Epstein (nearly a billion!) as potential fraud but processing them anyway, for years.

And now that thousands of FBI agents had to comb through that shit, i wouldn’t be surprised if there are further leaks of unredacted materials, pics, video etc.

everything is projection with these anti-intellectual shitbags. they don’t understand how ANYTHING fucking works, beyond the grift, and therefore NO ONE could possibly know.

dear god hard drive disks alone… so fucking dumb.

no doubt.

protip: leave the people in your will with a map to find your treasures in the horde.

because oh holy fuck is it hard making sense of what’s in those stacks when they have to move on to other housing or die.

was thinking this looking at the stack of models I have unassembled.

feck

how many times do you think any other president would have been successfully impeached for trump’s roll of crime? 50? 100 times?

to me, the confidential docs debacle and j6 are the worst of the worst; the docs one stings especially because I know what it takes to obtain and maintain a security clearance and wonder how much he put at risk - both human assets and strategic plans - in his fucking bathroom - knowing that similar behavior in the military would get you a nice stretch at leavenworth federal correctional facility and you might see freedom in a few decades. maybe.

dems should enumerate the list and use it any time someone talks about presidential fitness. “Oh you’re worried about a woman president, but this fuck did treason after treason and that’s fine?”

these incompetents will keep trying to make a case out of this, watch. double, triple jeopardy whatever it takes.

I wonder if this is being driven by trump himself or miller. my money is on miller.
