Pretty sure that went out the window with Trump

Who, Flynn? Sycopants no longer on active duty?

Did MEFII's public twitter account start beefing with CNN and I missed it?

You are telling me trump never commented on political issues with his official POTUS account?

The whole concept of a woke military is very funny to me.

What the president tweets is inherently political. Are you saying that the President switches between his commander in chief role and his political role and he shouldn't be political wearing his commander in chief hat? There's no difference between the president getting into it and generals doing the same?

When China inevitably kicks our ass, are they going to blame it on the Trump era military not performing enough gender affirmation surgeries?

That Chinese official yesterday telling us that we no longer speak from a position of strength says it all really.

she could have gone in many directions after the word "had" and before the word "instead". This was one.

So much for murder charges. Are 3 months the normal timeframe for a medical examiner's report?

Someone had an interesting theory that the bear spray some capitol police were exposed to secretly contained DMSO (skin penetrating solvent) and that capsaician or some other component of pepper spray like substances could inhibit clotting.

Apparently its pretty cheap and available over the counter for veterinary purposes. Sounds like you could do a fair bit of mischief with this stuff. When can I expect a video of someone pranking their friend with topical cocaine exposure?

Today we found out that my brother-in-law tried to drive down to DC on 1/6, but his car broke down after 90 minutes of driving.

Yesterdsy, he called his ex-wife and--after threatening to kill her if she puts their daughter on ADHD medication--said he "got a good gig" where he's going to "reprogram people," so he's going to disappear off the grid for a few days. He's also started to refer to himself as a "patriot protector."

Update.

Today my mother-in-law went to get a COVID test after weeks of feeling ill with various respiratory ailments. My wife was begging her to go. To be honest, there is probably a better chance that this is lung cancer than COVID, but my wife will probably bring her to doctor's appointments, so she asked her to get a COVID test first so that it can be taken off the list of potential causes and so my wife won't have to quarantine if she comes in contact with her.

Anyway. She finally got the test today--keep in mind, just the nasal swab test, not the vaccine--and my brother-in-law is now raging that she has been microchipped. I didn't realize there was a conspiracy theory around just the test being a tracking device, but here we are.

Also, turns out that reprogramming camp he went to was in Rhode Island, but he didn't even stop by to say hi. Damn shame.

Arraigned today on four felonies, including battery, assault with a dangerous weapon, and intimidating a witness. It'd be an incredible shock if he actually faced consequences for this.

My wife saw a video of the aftermath of the incident that led to these charges, and in it my BIL is using the n-word quite liberally (all of the parties are white). Someone calls him on it, and he proceeds to explain how the word only recently gained a racist meaning and is more often just used to refer to a "stupid person."

Double update: my wife's ex-sister-in-law is working on getting a restraining order on my brother-in-law, mostly due to threats he's been sending her via text. He's referenced "new friends he's made" that can "make her life a living hell."

Also: he has a court date on Monday for the above-mentioned assault charges, and both he and the victim have asked my mother-in-law for a ride to the courthouse. Never a dull moment.

Lol "presidential historian"

Funny that everyone freaked out about that statement. The correct response is, "Huh, well, debatable."
