Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks. We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.

Lads, I remember a really funny thread in yon place a few years back about getting creamed with typical Irish wit about their clothing choices. This was the OP, but as I nuked my account, I can't access the rest of the thread, please go and read it for decent Irish humour belly laughs 😂 #SpeirGorm

This is why the military's Chief of Staff was fired this weekend. (Fired by a guy whose relevant work experience was weekend anchor on Fox News). Listen to it, and then help rise to defend the America that produced this noble man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brQL...

The contrast between the relative impotence of Democrat presidents and the apparently untrammelled omnipotence of Republicans puzzles ill-informed foreigners looking on from afar.

Imagine being a woman in the US armed forces with all of the fucked up gender politics to navigate there, working your way up to the very top, and then being fired because a reality TV businessman and a Fox News host say you’re unqualified

This could happen because Hitler had been agitating and lying for about ten years. The normal thing gets replaced by the abnormal thing. Don't think this couldn't happen in your country. #Trump

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

Media shying away from calling things what they are will be our downfall if this continues. What this should say is: Bannon whipped up CPAC crowd by talking about possibility of Trump unconstitutionally staying in office for third term—and concluded his speech with a Nazi salute like Musk did.

Seems like a waste of a good asset for Europe to just take Russia’s frozen $300bn, when they could instead threaten to take it unless Russia makes concessions, highlight Russia’s refusal to make concessions, state that any concessions Russia does make are insufficient, and then take it.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.
