My neighbor scraped the Oath Keepers sticker off his truck. He left the NRA and USMC stickers. Must be really difficult to be afraid to be your true, authentic self out there.

this is correct. You learn to 'goose-step' exactly ONCE in your mil career, at BOOT CAMP. the idea is that military skills - ie, shooting, etc - you must have the *DISCIPLINE and TEAMWORK* that it takes to march properly. but you're done with the ACTUAL North Korea-stuff the day you graduate.

KING ON THRONE: I see you have returned, what offering do you bring me from your journeys? ME: My Leige, we have crossed over to the Bad Other Site, and we bring to you this as our humble tribute. [lays this tweet out in front of Throne, bigger than a trampoline]

This new energy drink is a collab between Dana White - UFC CEO -and Anheuser-Busch. It launched a week ago and they're being handed out at the Army parade for free. Trump has a tight relationship with White/UFC.

So when you say, "NO" Kings, are we talking, like, AT ALL Like.... no wiggle room here? Can we talk about some kind of carve-out situation, maybe?

There is a moment in the latest season of Reacher where a bad guy who’s been shot says “call me an ambulance” and someone says “okay, you’re an ambulance,” I laughed so hard. Bring back simpleton television

Took my kid today to a rally in our local small town. Decent crowd, but in the 2000+ plus that were there, might have seen 5 'kids' under 30. Its the kind of town where hippie-fied old people show up for stuff, so thats not totally unexpected. But need to see some Youngs at these other spots.

Oh HERE WE GO. My kid is watching Game of THrones and we're FINALLY to the Drogon-as-Wild Weasel SEAD mission against Kings Landing's Scorpion air defense batteries. I seriously think they mapped the entire scene from, like, Growler weapons school slides.
