At first I misread the title as "Alec Baldwin, who is riddled with major STDs..."
I wouldn't be surprised.
There was also a project to use bats carrying incendiaries against Japan, but that was more of an area weapon. My favorite part of the article I read about it many years ago was something like, "Sensing that the project was a disaster, the Army took the most logical course of action and handed the whole thing off to the Navy."
You couldn't make a movie about the best WWII stories, because no one would believe them.
Nah. Make it voluntary. But only people who complete the training and maintain their qualifications get to vote.
(yes, I was strongly influenced by reading Starship Troopers when I was 12)
Basic Training alone had a major positive impact on me. I got in shape, learned to shoot and handle weapons safely, learned lots of battlefield first aid, and other cool stuff. Including how to run a floor buffer. We joked about being qualified to start our own janitorial companies.
This is a serious internal problem in the black community. They simply will not speak sternly to a brother who needs straightening out. They'll say you have to build up, not tear down (something I've heard from black managers who can't seem to do anything about discipline problems). Of course, if you do try to say something, you get the "I'm a grown-ass man!" response, which escalates quickly if you persist.
It's all my fault as a white man, of course.
And then tried deflection. "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree, and I ate."
Adam: You gave her to me, so isn't it kind of your fault?
Eve: The serpent tricked me, I'm just a girl, tee hee?
God : unimpressed Pepe
I got downright emotional over that. Been a space geek since I watched one of the moon landings on TV.
Bill Gates's products have often made me emotioal also, but a different emotion,
I once told a guy who was pissing me off, "I oughta just kick your ass." Along with some other words.
After I was released from the emergency room, I decided I would never say those words again. Never offer what you can't back up.
That's a myth. People had known the earth was a globe since the ancient Greeks, who had also calculated its size. Columbus was following a fringe theory that it was much smaller and so it would be easy to sail west to India. Everybody else figured he was sailing to his death because India would be too far away going in that direction, and they were right. They just didn't know about the continents that were in the way.
They also have the ability to open their rear door and tilt back while hovering. As one ex-paratrooper in my Army Reserve unit put it, "We fell out that helicopter." It does create a nice mental picture.
They should come in playing Wagner. "Da dun da dun DAH DAH, dun da dun DAH DAH...."
Antifa don't surf.
"A family card game can easily sound like a domestic violence situation I can attest to this first hand."
I was walking toward the cafeteria in my community college one day and heard BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! and a lot of loud voices. Got closer... it was a bunch of black dudes playing dominoes. I had no idea. Whenever I've mentioned this to black guys they laugh and say I ought to see how the old guys play it.
But it's not the day slavery ended nationally. It's the day Texas slaves found out that they had been freed (2 years late, but never mind that). It was a Texas thing that gradually caught on among blacks nationally. The Wikipedia article on it notes that it had a revival around WWII, when lots of blacks left Texas to go work in factories. That's the point -- it's not a major national holiday and doesn't even make sense as one, so the fake outrage over the President's rally is fake.
Wrong. The National Guard is part of the force structure of the military, "on loan" to the states. Some states also have a true state militia, usually called a state guard. But all components, Regular Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard, train together for their initial entry training and are under the same Uniform Code of Military Justice. As part of the TX Army National Guard, my training was overseen by 5th Army, usually at annual training but we'd see our 5th Army advisor at various times.
(I try to avoid "someone is wrong on the Internet!" syndrome, but sometimes someone is wrong about something I actually know about)
These reporters are going to start having Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder when they enter the briefing room.
These reporters with their face-exploding gotcha questions make me think of Pudge Rodriguez's rookie season with the Texas Rangers, when he routinely murdered everyone who tried to play "let's easy-steal second off the rookie catcher." The difference, of course, is that base runners eventually learned to respect the rookie and his arm, while journalists are incapable of learning anything.
I saw exactly that recenty in a dust-up with a guy in a (normally non-political) Reddit group. He pretended not to know what ballot harvesting was. There were other things, but that was the one that finally lead me to the conclusion that he was in fact a liar and part of the Reddit Orange Man Bad brigade and not just a "guy trying to figure out the truth."
By the shape of the front slope near the hatches and the shape of the mantlet, I'd say M4A3 with 76mm gun.
Normally I'd say posting old news like this is lame, but I didn't actually know about this, so thanks. It also makes me think that every entity that's getting a piece of the Big Bag o' Candy Act should have a Trumpissar or two assigned.
Because it's new. You're not seeing general bitching, you're seeing reaction to specific things over the last couple days. Filter by Hot and you see lots of other stuff. Go read those and get back to us.
Also for what it's worth, I have read similar things on the blog of a Catholic prophet. The Day of the Lord is coming, and it won't be fun for anybody, but it especially won't be fun for the unrepentant evil-doers.
That's well explained, and also funny. Of course, the actual tank is parked at a unit that didn't order it, and also isn't a tank unit.
They are obsessed with this "no evidence" line. They seem to think it's their trump card.
(womp womp)
Pencil neck geek,
Grit-eatin' freak,
Scum-suckin' pea head with a lousy physique.
He's a one-man, no gut losing streak.
Nothin' but a pencil neck geek.
Ooh, I need to read that. Thanks for bringing it up. It'll be on my Kindle tonight.
An American loving French journalist wrote in his travel diary about his interviews with American prison officials. One had tried to set up a reform school for young gang members in NYC, but it was during a time of rising juvenile crime and there was a widespread "lock 'em up and throw away the key" sentiment. Another said that putting youthful offenders in with adult criminals just brutalized them. Sounds like maybe 1980s or 90s, right? Nah. Alexis de Toqueville wrote it in 1830.
Reading Toqueville's warnings in Democracy in America and also the Anti-Federalist papers just makes me sigh in resignation. I'm sure The Law will have a similar effect.
