Because there were no actual prosecutable actions to convict anyone for, the republicans were just assembling one “special investigation” after another in an effort to waste everyone’s time. Come to think of it, most of the things conservatives scream about are akin to a child’s tantrum that you just try to mitigate until they’re quiet enough to sit down and get some work done…except we keep feeding them sugar and cartoons instead of putting their childish plantation asses to bed.

One laugh and maybe one or two sensible chuckles, then we’ve got shit to do.

After years of football, my shoulders crackle every time I lift my arms up. It’s ok though, all the concussions mean I don’t think about it much

Mine is a double press of the power button, if the battery is off it throws a trouble code

It’s the closest thing to the Hitchhikers Guide we have

It’s also essentially why NATO exists. I understand the “not involved in conflict” clause for applying but this seems like a special occasion where the conflict is coming from the whole reason the damn organization was created in the first place

We’re also talking about a military that had an endemic of soldiers getting sick and going blind because they simply would not stop drinking the rocket fuel. Their flagship carrier is basically a littoral ship because that’s all it can do without catching fire. I assume they still have some silos with missiles that could launch and make for a decent dirty bomb but primed and functional warheads…unlikely

Relying on a single sensor was a terrible design decision, not bothering to inform and update/retrain pilots on the new addition to their steering process was downright criminally negligent and should see several executives in prison.

The Chicago blacksites seem like they would fit that description, they gave zero fucks about due process or civil rights, following their own law

These are the same geniuses who went from chicken pox to covid “parties” for the express purpose of infecting everyone, this country has always been filled with reactionary ignorant asshats.

I could never find chain mail that fit properly

They are shipped on shrink wrapped pallets in boxes. The thing is, your local Walmart/target/airport shop doesn’t need 1500 copies of the latest Patterson novel, they stock a few of each current book in store. Meaning that pallet gets opened up at a hub warehouse and 2-3 books are going to 2-300 different stores along with whatever else has been purchased that week to restock the shelf. That book passes though a lot of hands before you buy it at the register

Used to work in a warehouse that did exactly this, can confirm drove a forklift loading pallets of books on trucks and “humidity control” meant closing the bay doors that didn’t have trailers backed in so the snow wouldn’t blow inside.

Eh, it’s kind of a grey area but not really. They also casually fire phosphorus cluster munitions over civilian neighborhoods so following any kind of convention is already defenestrated Russian style.

As for what happens next…probably nothing good now that we let the crazies run the asylum again

Also historically one of the most flagrantly corrupt sports in the world, up next to FIFA

The difference is their interpretation of Islam, and how that impacts the governing.

Ahh yes, religion. You can regulate caffeine and justify beheadings, and give female suffrage! If they don’t agree, you can just sell them to a neighbor

Well of course, otherwise who’s gonna protect him when it’s his turn to wear the white robe instead of the blue shirt?

To be pedantic, this isn’t Pvt Butz who swore he’d burn the uniform, it’s Col Landa after demanding a house and pension in America for defecting, aka Aldo’s “best work yet.”
