Let me ask you guys a question then. As I said earlier Jessie Jackson is in the hospital in Chicago having a very difficult time with COVID-19. If you accept my premise that he has spent his entire life exploiting racism for money should we be happy if he dies? Or is your lack of empathy only held out for people of a different political spectrum? Hey look, my condemnation of celebrating death doesn’t extend to all people in all circumstances. Humans that actually literally kill other humans and physically harmed them and send others to do it in their stead we are certainly better off without them around. Osama Bin Laden left behind numerous relatives and IDGAF if they miss him. But what you guys are talking about here, as well as the comments on the new article about Valentines death is celebrating the death of a person who killed no one, physically hurt no one, stole from no one, they just “thought” wrong. there is a certain irony when people who advised against vaccinations die from the disease the vaccine was for. It doesn’t make it an event worthy of high fives. it troubles me how empathy is being bred out or burned out of people in the world today. I blame the internet but that’s just me. Maybe people were always mean spirited we just never knew how widespread it was.

Oh I didn’t know we were discussing people who literally killed other people

The neat thing about TV and radio shows as you don’t need to listen to them. I didn’t. So by being happy that his show is off the air one way or another what someone is really saying is it made them mad that other people were hearing it right? Lord knows I have posted here at length what I think of Donald J Trump. But I didn’t wish the man dead when he got Covid. A lot of people were doing that though. I think it’s pretty despicable. I don’t like this person‘s opinions or what they say or do therefore they should die. Or it’s good that they die. Whatever kind of a President Trump was or however low of a man he was I imagine his family didn’t want him dead. Or maybe they did who knows.

Jesse Jackson is, in my estimation, a terrible human being . He foments racism and exploits it for money. But he is also a father, grandfather, and has friends and family who love him. Both he and his wife are in the hospital right now with Covid. I genuinely hope they will all be OK. Finding joy in the mifortune or demise God for bid of your fellow human beings just because you occupy a different part of the political spectrum that they do is pretty disgusting. I remember a lot of people were perversely happy when Rush Limbaugh passed away. Why? Because you didn’t like his radio show? So now you’re happy he’s dead? It’s despicable.

LOL I can attest from personal experience

Phil Valentine dies of COVID-19, aged 61 it is tragic because he was anit-vacation. But the most disgusting thing of all is how many people seem to be happy about this. If you were ever happy somebody died under any circumstances than you are a f——-g a——-e

Totally stealing this one

Mike Lindell Hiding Pro-Trump election worker in a safe house what does is it tell you when the most entertaining public figure in America today is a pillow salesman! When you stop taking this guy seriously (if you ever were dumb enough to do that) he is funny as hell.

Just watched a video on how to “skin“ a watermelon. You’re left with a big red ball and two empty rinds. Why would you wanna do that though? The best part about munching on a slice of watermelon is it has a handle to hold onto.

Would be a good first post for a new one. No Nietzsche this time. That dude is depressing

You are right, he did serve. He wasn’t drafted. That was where I remembered from, it was a list of presidents who served after draft. LBJ volunteered. My mistake.

The first two are holding Chinese knock off‘s of the AK. The next guy and the second one over are holding an M4. Don’t know about the rest.

Let me know when you find some. No one in politics today wants to admit they were wrong or may have made a mistake. It’s always someone else’s fault. or like you said they’re too old and set in their ways

Reagan, both Bushes, Truman. Not Johnson. He was too young for World War I and too old for World War II. He never served. The US military was very small during his prime years.

If I were him I would STFU. He was the one that negotiated the withdrawal and put a firm date so the Taliban would know when to attack. He keeps saying he would’ve done it differently, and maybe he would have. It certainly could have and should have been done very differently. Not the least of which was not abandoning millions upon millions of dollars worth of weapons, aircraft, vehicles, and other military supplies that now make the Taliban the best armed band of terrorists in the world. The logistical failures of Biden‘s withdrawal cannot be overstated. Of course none of that means Trump would’ve done a better job.

Kennedy in ‘63 both in SE Asia and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I believe he was referring to the Afghan military. Biden said they wouldn’t fight. They did fight and have been fighting and losing for a while now. But then it turns out half of their leader ship was already Taliban and the other half packed up a bunch of US dollars and fled. that whole thing was a mess. Has been for 20 straight years. The only way to fix it would be to travel back in time and get out in 2002 after the Taliban were deposed.

I’ve always said I thought it was important for the US president to have military experience. If you’re going to be the commander in chief of the US military you should know a little bit about it. It’s not a requirement by any means. Nor should it be. Just something to consider when casting your vote.

The best line of this entire debacle came from a man named Tom Tugendhat, a British MP: "to see their commander in chief president Joe Biden call into question the courage of men I fought with, to claim they ran. It's shameful. Those who have never fought for the colors they fly should be careful about criticizing those who have."

You’re probably right about that first part
