  1. I don't remember the then Army Air Corps celebrating breaking the sound barrier the second time.
  2. Well at least you found an argument you might be able to win. Shame it isn't the one I was remotely implying. Good effort though. 4/10
  3. The obliviousness of missing Trump's dishonesty earned an actual facepalm from me. Well done opposition. (We're so fucked)
  4. Seems so https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/world/wp/2018/10/12/feature/behind-the-scenes-russia-regains-a-complicated-status-afghanistan-power-broker/?utm_term=.6a4e2c3bf7ca
  5. The (mostly) nonlethal human suppression market being developed by the usual five defense contractors is seriously undervalued in the market.
  6. Silly when all we have to do is look around at home.
  7. Yeah it seems (fwiw) that the only real division by the Republicans are the hawks being impatient. Doubt it means too much though. Perhaps they just want political cover for the eventual increase of Russian influence in Afghanistan?
  8. And of course like the section of the article you quoted, even when the opposition reposts Trump's lies as fodder for ridicule on social media, they are at the same time spreading his lies.
  9. The number is way higher than 40%. How many people in this thread confuse a Trump lie with "haha, look what Trump thinks. What an idiot!"? I think people, especially as they get older if science is to be believed, just default to trusting a statement.
  10. Not exactly the person I'd wish to emulate.
  11. This is a good article on it. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jun/13/how-to-report-trump-media-manipulation-language
  12. It's not normal. But when you weaponize linguistics it is important to get it right.
  13. So at no point do you address Trump's behavior. Understandable.
  14. You mean Charlie now. And we know that Charlie is was the shortened form of Victor-Charlie, which itself was code for Viet-Cong. The pieces all fall into place!
  15. Another sample of fascist behavior. Trump, not Ace. A perfect specimen of newspeak and blackwhite. Yet even his more passionate opponents would rather just explain it as idiocy.
  16. When you get a taste of Diamond Joe, Joe gives you back a little extra.
  17. I was with you until Trump. All the previous blunders by the left has indeed left the comparisons hollow. But a populist who openly calls himself a nationalist, allies himself with like-minded authoritarians, lies to an extreme even in a context of being a politician, scapegoats minorities, antagonizes his enemies and undermines what little media integrity we have left? The man is a walking trope of fascism.
  18. After what the TexMex did, this is a given.
