Random thought/question:

You guys think Phatj is scarce around here anymore because he is spending his time over at Parler now?

[macphisto]

He's scarce because you people are fucking assholes to him.

[Orpheus]

Hey remember that time the supreme court made half of Oklahoma into Native American land and everyone just forgot about it? What ever happened with that?

I know nothing else about her, but I like her style.

Would it matter if he weren't pro forever war?

Separately, we should pull out of Afghanistan and issue letters of Marque and Reprisal if the Taliban get uppity. Let Danny boy and his buddies wreak havoc and leave with a bounty of Opium. Thats far more civilized than covering for ANA units that enjoy Bacha Bazi.

Thousands was fucking sadder than this and lasting
