What's complicated about this ? Some grunt thinks he's suddenly intelligence material and then executes a guy with a defense not even the LAPD would use. I guess this pardon is just jerk-off material for Trump fans, who think RoE's handcuff our boys and probably think they woulda won 'Nam if not for the politicians

Seems this guy got off easy to begin with https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2019/05/07/trump-pardons-former-us-soldier-who-killed-iraqi-prisoner/

The coffee in that case was heated far too hot to drink, if I recall.

Well, doesn't the 2nd Amendment mention 'well regulated' ? So that would mean some for licence or test of competency, no ? Not sure what making gun manufacturers do safety recalls and have safety warnings is going to do to curb gun violence. "Warning : Misuse of this HiPoint may result in premature death"

Nah is over valued, at least these days. Henry Rollins was on to something when he called it intellectual cowardice. I'd rather say it's laziness, though, will give people the benefit of the doubt. But positive stuff for me would be something like I got to use my new aftershave today or something that'd make me sound like a weirdo or that I was trying to be snarky

Sort of laughing at my team meetings where the manager lady asks everyone for one positive item for the day, but doesn't ask me that. I guess she senses it's a lost cause

Gotta burn that budget somehow!

Well, not like saber moves in the movies couldn't get more unnecessary.

Isn't Israel always harping on about Iran planning to do something real soon Pretty funny statement on the face of it.

Little did we know what secret project was....the Kwisatz Haderach

Well, the SC people are upset by it. Great thing about this post I saw on Reddit is that it's hard to tell if they're serious or not.

RIP Peter Mayhew https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/may/02/chewbacca-peter-mayhew-dies-aged-74

Saints Row made into a movie ? https://www.destructoid.com/saints-row-movie-on-the-way-but-how-ridiculous-is-it-gonna-be--552174.phtml Well...I guess they chose an appropriate director.

Yeah think so. Those names are just from Deus Ex I could repeatedly say "My weiner is augmented", that way.

Family deciding to get two new dachshunds in July. We need to think up names, so that is a fun and somewhat difficult exercise. Maybe JC and Paul.

Struggling through Tropico 6, taking too long to beat the Tropicoland scenario. Tourism is all but pointless to make money off of. Then again, also put my Immigration Office to work in Stephen Miller mode and my workforce got severely depleted. Luckily I can send pirates to abduct people.

Probably trying to fight in the crowded cities with the gangs they have would be worse.

Not quite sure the US can take Brazil, but they have a bunch, it seems.

The last photo of President Salvador Allende alive at the La Moneda presidential palace, Sept. 11, 1973. Ah man, came across a gem of a quote from Bolton in searching on this, on why he avoided going to Vietnam
