Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.

Fucking our sharks, you mean.

Mostly I try to make people laugh, but more of an awkward laugh.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

“Stupid Piece of Shit” is great for asking people if this is how they think. Some people don’t know they have depression from critical thinking.

That can’t even be stupidity, no one is that stupid. I’m a 90’s conservative and give me a middle of the road democrat every day.

Edit: click on his name! I don’t feel bad for this guy, but I would like to offer pity to the local ubereats drivers.

Trump body pillow.

Actually this is all a dream and we are getting more and more terrified you’ll wake up. Why did you give me a family I care about and the ability to fear us all disappearing in a blink as you wake? Why would you do this to me?

Wait, there will be rounds in a fight to the death? Does this imply the use of some cleric or shaman?

Can the lion start in the plane?

Wish they had a blooper reel called TATTACA.

(That was all five of you biochemists out there)

Dominique is showing signs of borderline personality disorder.

Lawful evil or chaotic evil, depending on if that behavior is allowed in that society.

Imagine China as a company. There is a board of directors, and Xi is the head of that board. The board runs a lot of lower ranking boards that control all the aspects of government operation.

Have a problem with your plumbing? Go to your local province or city board. A whole region experiencing drought? The regional board has an action plan that they impose on the local boards to implement with government regional help. Xi is responsible for steering the overarching policy of China moving forward as a country. His role is to say “make China control the South China Sea and receive deference from those countries” to the military, and then it’s their problem to figure out how to harass shipping.

You get promoted to higher boards for good work, and the board votes for its leader. Read Xi’s promotion history. I would die after that many years of office politics, myself.

Glad to hear you doing this. My daughter refuses to learn, but I keep telling her it’s so when the dumb boy pulls out a gun at a party, she can ask to see it, and clear the chamber, take the clip, safe it, and hand it (minus the clip) back.

Republicans aren’t conservatives since the tea party.

Inaction that causes a harm is an action. Say for example you’re a muslim that doesn’t vote for a female candidate because you feel she doesn’t do enough to help your people. If the other candidate actively allows great harm to your people, you failing to vote for the female candidate is helping empower the harm on your people.

I just hope we never see this example in real life.

Oh man, Rush. I vaguely remember his downfall from painkiller addiction, and he was some sort of radio pundit.

I hate to bring it up, but the second amendment is a law.

And that’s the problem with the corruption we’re seeing. The poor of both left and right are seeing decisions favor the rich and powerful at the expense of what they believed were their rights. We need to correct the list of the ship of state before people start to work against it openly.

He won’t be in a history book; in five years nobody will talk about him.
