    The original site was better. But this still has the same anti-hipster flavor:

    So I said to a guy that looks like this "you look familiar". He said "like who?" I said like 40 thousand f#ckin c#cksuckers I saw this week.

    Off topic, but I do like your loathed list. (Even though I like Winnetka, but yeah I get it.) If you can divulge more, I would be grateful.

    Other than the healthcare vote a rama, the most noteworthy news today that is getting lost in all the drama is that the DOD came out to say that there is no transgender ban. They're not going to fire 7000 servicemen on Twitter.

    So basically that announcement yesterday from the WH was only a stunt. This is what people like bballshawn and JamieBmore are supporting. A reality TV government that thinks policy is media theater.

    That's huge.

    Because we are down to wondering whether the army will support this bizarro if push comes to shove. At least I am-- this is getting too third world dictatorish to trust.

    Not being much of They Might Be Giants fan (but liking that song), I never bothered to look into it.
    Thanks.

    What's left in the Trump bag o' tricks? I say an invasion somewhere. Can't be too tough like N. Korea or Iran. Grenada is so retro. How 'bout Yemen?

    Yeah this is something that people who support the POTUS don't understand IMHO, possibly including POTUS himself. So Drumpf fires off a tweet and it confuses a lot of people. Not because it was a bad idea, but because it was a bad idea with no substance or direction behind it. After looking at Facebook yesterday, some Drumpf supporters honestly believe they on a rowboat, capable of turning on a dime(or a tweet). This is an ocean liner and just because someone says do something, doesn't mean they are in his head knowing exactly what he meant. Now Sr. Military officials have to clean up the mess and figure out how to roll this thing out. (reminder: rescind yesterday's post b/c this tweet did catch senior military officials flatfooted). These guys are serious about their job and their country and their chain of command and now have to un f&ck this f&ckup

    Ok, say Drumpf did decide to enact this tweet into policy. There are a lot of steps that need to make it from idea to action. What does this policy look like? How does it affect current (how are they separated and compensated for), future and former vets(in terms of benefits?), how will it be rolled out? When is it enacted? How many phases will it take to implement? Are there any potential legal issues? Does this extend to Pentagon contractors? The list goes on and on.

    He basically left the Pentagon in a mad scramble...for political points. I see people on Facebook talk about trans suicide rates, cohesion in the military, effectiveness of the military with/without trans people etc etc etc etc blah blah blah....it's all bs.... pretending that this wasn't anything more than political theater, which it what it is. I can be sure the Pentagon doesn't really appreciate. Witness the travel ban. That was with a bit more thought out and look at the $hitshow it produced. Essentially, Drumpf is the horrible Department manager who told his managers to increase profits by 20% but has not direction or guidance and expects everyone else to figure it out so he can take credit for it.

    The thing is that it did not earn any political points. He did not pick up any political support by saying that transgender people would be banned from the military.

    The morons who might think this is a good idea are already in the Trump's pocket.

    The rest of the nation just thinks that Trump is an idiot for tweeting him.
    The military, as you point out, went into scramble mode.
    The media went into hysterics.

    All for virtually nothing, but a distraction.

    That is all Trump is good at, distraction.

    He is a truly stupid human being, but he does have the narcissist's skill of making everything about him.

    Trump will never land ground troops. He is far too risk averse.

    Desperate times, desperate measures.

    Sends troops in. Has a rally in Bumf#ck, USA later that day "I've always said we have the greatest military, right? Great, fantastic people. But what's the point in having all this strength and spending billions a year if we're not gonna use them? (wild cheers) We get in...bing bang boom...wack the bad guys and get out. And c'mon - who doesn't love watching tanks rolling & missiles launching?"

    If he really wanted to rally the part of his base that drives 100 miles to a rally, he'd bomb the shit out of a few college campuses.

    It was, uh, really something.

    It goes without that saying that having that guy in the White House -- and probably in the Chief of Staff job before long -- will really ramp up the crazy. It's like he's standing there with a gas can, pouring it on Trump as he strikes match after match.

    This shit is starting to get good.

    There's a reason Trump tweeted this shit out while SECDEF was on vacation this week.

    Yeah, but they love him even more now. The WSJ printed a reader letter this week about how if the "elites" attempt to impeach Trump, the armed revolution will begin. That was the first letter of several in response to the article in question, meaning that the Journal approved, highly.

    This guy isn't going out peacefully, unless The Lord strikes his fat ass down.

    All talk. They were gonna "take back 'Merica" after the Kenyan Commie was elected too. Instead they put on corny outifts and Teabagged.

    When there's a family emergency going down, do you poll the toddlers on what to do? F the base. If Trump has to be Nixonized or impeached so be it.

    May I recommend a book, @song219? JFK's Profiles in Courage is about key moments in US history when people did just this.

    It would have been awesome if Mooch had just gone all in. "I have no problem getting MY cock sucked. Only the best hookers, the ones with titties out to here! You just give them a line or two, let them keep the 1000 dollar bill you rolled up, and boom! They're sucking your cock like a goddamn Hoover!

    "Have I said too much?"

    watching the repeal vote now and I can't believe that it is going down. This is a dark day for this country. This bill will be passed as is from the house, I guarantee. Then the GOP sens will blame the house GOP and Dems to save their seats.
