rjshae Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 I'm a little curious about something: does a order to the U.S. military posted on twitter by the lunatic in chief carry any legal authority? Can his twitterness post a command to launch a military strike from there? "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
Gfted1 Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Oh those wacky Airforce guys. World dominating aircraft and pilots though. @rjshae: The JCS are ignoring the transgender directive because it didnt come through proper channels, theres no way they would release a strike on anybody based on a tweet. A mind exercise I was toying with is: Trump has the nuclear football...if he actually tried to use it...would the accompanying airforce officer stop him? 2 http://www.sloganizer.net/en/image,Gfted1,black,red.png
Malcador Posted July 27, 2017 Posted July 27, 2017 Obama was born in 61. As Gfted1 said, shady dealings. That makes him 14 years old when the Vietnam war ends. But we still haven't seen his long form birth certificate so we don't know his real age. And he has never done national service in Kenya either. Very shady (or sick!) guy. Obama is clearly the God Emperor Why has elegance found so little following?

And you get the second best dress uniform in the US You should thank God you never had a president MacArthur though. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Bartimaeus Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Uh, well, whoever was worried about Scaramucci being too much of a "smooth operator"/talker (James?), I, uh, don't think you'll have to worry about that. That guy is a total nutcase with seemingly no filter. 2 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

That guy is a total nutcase with seemingly no filter. Yeah, I went through a similar set of thoughts.
Zoraptor Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 This is how we beat the terrorists. Judging by the watermark and plane's markings it's how the Syrians and French beat the terrorists. Which is an odd combination.

I knew it wasn't french because it looks nothing like their planes, check the tail though and there's definitely a tricolour. I wouldn't be that surprised if the Syrians did enjoy it- they're reasonably progressive (very for the ME, especially in the big urban areas) so long as you don't touch on political reform.

injurai Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 The US sells planes to France, It's possibly a joint base. Or a plane in for service. It's also the US colors, I know tricolors aren't so unheard of in the states, and that isn't exactly a perfect French Tricolore.

Elerond Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Pakistan's SC disqualified their PM because of Panama papers, which maybe good could be good because it move to fight against corruption, but it maybe also bad because it may give control of Pakistan to their generals.
213374U Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 A mind exercise I was toying with is: Trump has the nuclear football...if he actually tried to use it...would the accompanying airforce officer stop him? Nope. No one can lawfully stop him from launching a nuclear attack, and attempting to do so would probably be treason or something. The only one who could do it is the SecDef, and only if it could not be verified that the order comes from Trump. That being said, the answer to the question "Can anyone stop Trump from ordering a nuclear strike?" is probably classified. Would Mattis intervene and derail any such orders even though he is not permitted to do so? We had this issue come up last year, too. Look up Harold Hering. The whole thing is a crisis waiting to happen, if you ask me. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

HoonDing Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 With his tiny hands, Trump can't even win respect by going full LBJ and getting Jumbo out. Sad. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Agiel Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) The US sells planes to France, It's possibly a joint base. Or a plane in for service. It's also the US colors, I know tricolors aren't so unheard of in the states, and that isn't exactly a perfect French Tricolore. It's a USAF F-15C Eagle. Frankly given France's love affair with protectionism the French would eat a jellyfish venom mousse at a Shenyang reception before buying another foreign-made fighter, the last time that happened being the F-8 Crusaders for their Clemenceau carriers back in the Cold War. Edited July 28, 2017 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
