Putting the SS in the S.S.

Remember when getting an SS tat was a minor fad among Marine snipers?

In my opinion, that wasn't good.

Has he tweeted about NASCAR/Confederate flag yet

No, Tucker must not have talked about it yet.

The black population is more at risk because they live in dense, urban areas and rely more on public transportation. Not because they are genetically predisposed.

wtf are you talking about, black americans have a higher risk of high blood pressure directly due to genetics.

Researchers have also found that there may be a gene that makes African-Americans much more salt sensitive.

Covid amplifies in things like diabetes, high blood pressure, which directly impacts black americans. Black people also tend to work "essential" jobs and can't take off work, exposing themselves to Covid.

Oprah Winfrey mentioned the hypothesis in an interview with Dr. Oz in 2007

"I'm telling you Joe, It's because of the slavery'

"Now you're just talking crazy stuff Alex"

"No for real, like they selected the slaves like they're selecting us now"

"Look that up Jamie"

"Wow, I can't believe you're right Alex, it says here Dr. Oz said to Oprah Winfrey in 2007, this is crazy man"

Why are all his tweets these days just lines from 1990s movie trailers?

I read the other day that the Trump campaign team was looking for a new catchphrase because transition to greatness hadn't caught on yet.
And just before COVID-19 they launched 'The Best Is Yet To Come!" to replace "Keep America Great"... which was well accurate.

I think they should just go with: Make America Great Again, Again! . Trump is probably helping.

Maybe I was conflating what "at risk" means? I took it as meaning the way many are living ( poor and in a city) versus their health outcomes when they do contract the disease. As you alluded to things like hypertension, diabetes, etc play a huge factor in causing skewed results. The same underlying things you see with the racial disparity with premature births in America.

If they ever get on a debate stage together and Trump is still as pissed as he is now he's going to totally destroy this man.

“We will not stand by as our people are threatened by a kangaroo court,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a press conference on Thursday. Pompeo described the ICC as “corrupt,” “grossly ineffective,” and “highly politicized.” The court, which is based in The Hague, is on an “ideological crusade against American servicemembers,” he alleged.

 

[BisMarckie]

The US never recognized the ICC, it's not a Trump thing.

It's a "you were always a crappy hegemonial state that completely ignored international law" thing. 

[BisMarckie]

Bomb The Hague anyway though.

Trump is set to give his speech on Aug. 27 at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, a venue in downtown Jacksonville that can accommodate roughly 15,000 people. (It is smaller than the 20,000-person capacity Spectrum Center in Charlotte where Trump was supposed to deliver the speech.)

just saw a vid of bide advisor on cnn saying there is no systemic racism 

[benjipwns]

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/11/us/politics/republican-platform.html

When Republicans read the platform their party is using for the 2020 campaign, they may be surprised to see that it is full of condemnations of the sitting president.

“The survival of the internet as we know it is at risk,” the platform reads. “Its gravest peril originates in the White House, the current occupant of which has launched a campaign, both at home and internationally, to subjugate it to agents of government.”

The warning about speech online is one of more than three dozen unflattering references to either the “current president,” “current chief executive,” “current administration,” people “currently in control” of policy, or the “current occupant” of the White House that appear in the Republican platform. Adopted at the party’s 2016 convention, it has been carried over through 2024 after the executive committee of the Republican National Committee on Wednesday chose not to adopt a new platform for 2020.

The platform censures the “current” president — who in 2016 was, of course, Barack Obama — and his administration for, among other things, imposing “a social and cultural revolution,” causing a “huge increase in the national debt” and damaging relationships with international partners.

“The Middle East is more dangerous now than at any time since the Second World War,” the platform reads. “Whatever their disagreements, presidents of both parties had always prioritized America’s national interests, the trust of friendly governments, and the security of Israel. That sound consensus was replaced with impotent grandstanding on the part of the current President and his Secretaries of State. The results have been ruinous for all parties except Islamic terrorists and their Iranian and other sponsors.”

I'll be sure to call up Facebook right now. They must've flipped the real/fake news switch.

Senate Republicans are growing concerned that rising tensions between President Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) could lead to a shutdown fight just weeks before the election and threaten their slim majority in the chamber.

There is widespread anxiety among GOP senators that Trump’s penchant for picking fights is a political liability as his response to nationwide protests against police brutality appears to be the cause of his declining approval ratings.

Republicans are now worried that he’s likely to pick a fight with Pelosi in September over government funding for the next fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1.

Trump and Pelosi’s relationship has only gotten worse since the 35-day government shutdown at the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019. The president regularly refers to her as "Crazy Nancy," and last month Pelosi called him "morbidly obese."

This might be really dumb, but is anyone else bothered by how much left-Twitter dunks on Matthew Ygglesisas? He seems like an innocent target and it's like the number one thing that I see daily that reminds me that the left can be authoritarian too.

[Positive Touch]

[Trurl]

One bad take.

[jakefromstatefarm]

every time someone says confederates sucked b/c they were traitors instead of because they were shitbag slavocrats

[Nintex]

Trump better bring the fire at his rally because he's getting blown the fuck out by these ads right now 

[Phoenix Dark]

Beyond being a racist traitor slave holder etc...Braxton Bragg was the worst general in the fucking Civil War. I could at least see, if this dude was a military genius who won some battles, why someone might name a military installation after him. But this dude was basically the AJ Soprano of generals.
 

[Nintex]

It's a missed opportunity not to rename those forts after today's heroes

Fort Rogan
Fort Musk
Fort West
Fort Portnoy
Fort Gorka
Fort Trump

[Trurl]

=They're almost always said together tho

not really... anti-secession guys always say stuff like "we settled this in the civil war" but secession is fine, it's the slavery that's wrong

Living in Ohio I'm concerned about bluestate secession.  Imagine living in what's left of America after the west coast and NY leave.

Gonna be a great study in compartmentalized thinking when Greene's in Congress.

She's going to spend her time off reading about how the Dems are about to be rounded up and put on trial for harvesting adrenochrome from kids, then go to work and haggle with them over funding levels for agriculture subsidies.

[Mandark]

as if they would ever invite her into those discussions

look forward to me quoting this post in 2021

Trump has been handling his food and drinks weird since forever. The ramp thing was something else though

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1272000237809414149

We won't know if he really has a problem until next Friday though. It'll be hard for Trump to 'hide' his ailments at a rally.
If he won't swing his arms and point at people there he might not be on the ballot in November.

Biden does seem in better physical health than Mr. High Energy though.
Maybe Trump has trouble sourcing his cocaine with the fence and protesters around the White House 

[Pissy F Benny]

I bet trump wouldn’t even do something rad like chase mike pence around with his soiled jocks if he shit himself

[Trurl]

He's obese and old, of course he has trouble with inclines.

He's probably not going to say that as a defense,though.

The corona caravan 

This reminds me though. Multiple states seeing virus case spikes, while the government has been AFK for the last month after essentially declaring victory. The entire point of social distancing/quarantine was to take stress off our healthcare capabilities and prepare for future flare ups. Instead states have been left to fend for themselves. Military-built tent hospitals were dismantled. Supply requests were ignored. Stay safe fellas...
