Random Political Thread

When you start your new career and start paying for both, you will understand the difference.

Am I not paying now?

I pay for a lot of shit I don’t agree with. Why would this be any different? It still doesn’t change the fact that they’re both uneducated.

Wish we had a new topic.  I know, the beatings, torture and executions in Sudan.  That would be a fun one. 

Eye made a very nice thread about the middle. 

Whatever. The link is terrible, but the guy makes the point that it's only a talk show. He'll talk about aliens, or he'll talk about the state of American politics. He's usually conservative-leaning, but not so much on this. He only airs here over the weekend. He's defended Alex Jones in the past, but only due to the first amendment. This week's best of was pretty good. He nailed everything, man. Sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due. The only thing he didn't say is "Hickenlooper." If there was a decent middling Repub to run against Trump, I'm sure he's all over it. But, he's right (or correct, to properly say).

I know we are aware, that’s why I said we don’t care. That’s why a bombing in France gets 24/7 coverage and a bombing in Sudan or elsewhere in Africa gets half or less of the coverage.

I guess they have a prison in Khartoum called "The Ice Box" where protesters are punt in a unit that is not much above freezing and kept that way.  Supposed to break them down mentally.  Who comes up with shit like that?  

Humans are a fucked up bunch.

Here's another subject for you Tinley. You and your well heeled compatriots. Pilots are getting out of the Air Force and Navy in droves. It is becoming critical. A $35,000 signing bonus pales to what they can make outside, and they are tired of being treated like shit and all the 18 plus hour days. Particularly in the Navy, where they have several other duties besides flying. What are you going to do about it?
