You know how conservatives are always going on about 'virtue signaling' well this is what it really looks like. They seem to hate it when it is some random person on the internet doing it, but I guess it is just fine when it is being paid for with my tax dollars?
when conservatives do it, it's grievance signaling.

So dishonest. At no point did Gore claim the process was illegitimate or fraudulent. He just called for recounts as allowed by Florida law. Call it what you want, an attempted coup or not a coup, Trump attempts to overturn the election and will obviously seize power if he can find a way. Maybe he'll call up the brownshirts on standby to try to stop the meeting of the electoral college in key states on Monday-


That wouldn't be open insurrection, would it?
so which congresscritter gave that dude a public tour pass?






edit: the 2 embedded tweets limit is really lame

Lol he got booted for high year tenure as an E-4???? Hahaha. For those who don’t know, to still be an E-4 after ten years you have to be an incredibly large bag of shit. For contrast I made E-5 in two years. That’s fast for making E-5, but ten years? If you’re still an E-4 on your third enlistment you’re either a rock or a shitbag.

Speaking of rocks he also failed to complete several military training courses? There are exceptions to this but generally speaking those courses are really hard to fail and they give you every chance to do better.

This sounds like one special guy.

Alex Jones and Mike Flynn were just a few of the speakers at the fascist gathering in DC today. I wonder if trump will show up even though he has to be disappointed by the turnout.

I have an idea for Trump to try. First, fire Bill Barr then appoint someone as AG oh say Donald Trump junior, then have AG Trump junior indict Joe Biden and arrest Joe thus keeping Joe Biden from becoming president. You can’t take the oath of office if you’re in jail. And there you go Donald, election stopped. ;)

Don't forget the final step, Donald pardons Jr, so that Jr can't be prosecuted.

Just remember..

Presidential pardons can only be for federal crimes. States are still within their full rights to hang these people out to dry on anything state related..

This doesn't surprise me. Never was in the navy but it sounded rather unimpressive. My maternal grandfather had been in the navy for 8 years and was I think a "Master Chief" which is I guess an E8, before getting a wartime commission after Pearl Harbor.

E8 is senior chief. E8 after 8 years would be (I think) impossible now or nearly so. You can definitely make regular chief in 8 though.
