I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911!

“I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me:

I will find a way to bring the dead back to life and manifest fictional characters into reality for no reason other than I want to see Teddy R. and Smokey B. absolutely rock the shit out of these bastards.

Protect our national parks
Protect our country
Protect our beauty

@mmflint.bsky.social I grew up watching Canadian Bacon and enjoyed the absurdity of it.

Now that I'm much older and I see it playing out in real time, it gets a lot scarier.

Thank you for making a great comedy, but sorry the US is using it as a play book

There's nothing I could say that would add anymore to this conversation.

"Vance had a chance to defend his OWN family, and he opted to defend the Indian-hating bigot instead. Where are the balls on these Republican men? ... Elon wants his DOGE kid who hates Indians back and Vance does his bidding... Do they castrate these guys at the door of the RNC?"

Foreign aid is less than 1% of the federal budget. General James Mattis once told Congress, “If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.” USAID’s work prevents conflicts before they require military intervention.

With all the talk on German socialist party coming back and it's symbolism and iconography. I want to take a second to share the proper way to appreciate their memorabilia.

Pictures is Goerings baton, gifted to him by Hitler. It's valued as priceless by historians.

This is worth a watch. Listen to Michael Fanone after the trash is done speaking. Pass it on.

I know who we need right now.

A douchebag Vet bro acts like a douche bag... Who could have predicted that?

The Economist ran this story this week. Yes...they are coming for veterans benefits. No one voted to destroy the VA or the benefits that our 15 million living veterans receive. Just 6% of Americans have served and these fuckers are coming for our hard earned benefits.

So to say that the GO's that made that the best bad situation possible should face a CM for that is beyond disgusting. But I expect nothing less from someone whose biggest factor in qualification to serve in his cabinet is a lack of a gag reflex, it's unsurprising.
Now onto the incoming SECDEF.

So the DOD does what it's done since it was called the War Department. It makes the best out of a shit situation. Unfortunately we lost men and women there and they will never be able to live the life they wanted.

But in Military operations it's a sobering unfortunate reality of the job.

So now it's August 2021, we have walked away from Bagram, and Kandahar Airfield. Two bases which have much more capable run ways and facilities for outloadIng.

Leaving us a small commercial airport with a military base on one side with two taxi ways and one run way. Surrounded by a major city.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan was necessary and had been necessary since easily around 2014.

But at the end of the day no president wanted to be the one holding the pile of shit when the bill came due.

It was going to happen eventually.

I was deployed to Kabul for the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Our men and women on the ground did the best job they possibly could have done. Our Leaders on the ground developed the best plan that they could.

So my special brand of concern right now is the DOD. As someone who has given my entire adult life to the organization, it's pretty important to me.

Keeping the heritage foundation DVA plan bookmarked on my phone is the best pieces of evidence to drop on Veterans or still active personnel.

How many GWOT veterans that are quickly approaching their 20 year retirement window are going to shit their pants when they find out the deal they made when they signed their contract during a time of war is about to be thrown into the shredder. But hey at least there won't be any woke shit.
