Aaaaaahahahaha! …….Aaaaaaa…..Aaaaaaa…..Aaaaaaahahahahaha!!!
Stop, I can’t breath. You are so hilariously funny.

And Russia didn’t invade Ukraine during Trump’s tenure. Derp!

Sorry that polling and reality disagree with your ignorant, uneducated opinion so thoroughly….but it’s a fact. Multiple polls after the state of the union (not on Fox or Pravda Social) were 71%-80% positive. So much better than little Don John did on his best poll ever on anything.

Clearly you only listened to high school dropout Boebert, not the speech…or you are incapable of recognizing solutions (after Trump, not surprising, he loved to call creating problems “solutions”). Going after the assets of the oligarchs is just one of many solutions that’s having major effects already you utter moron. Unifying NATO and the UN is another.

Yeah, 80% failure among ignorant idiotic cultists who think Boebert and Green’s inability to be professional, civil, or have any manners or self control whatsoever was a shining example of proper behavior and support their public outburst over not supporting our troops then went on to vote against supporting those very same injured troops the next day (look it up), but among the thinking public, up to 80% positive. ROTFLMFAHS! Coward Cadet Bone Spurs never offered solutions, only division and wastefulness, complete capitulation to despotic dictators, and self aggrandizement.
Talk about gullible, you believed Trump…you still do. You believed Covid wasn’t dangerous, lockdowns weren’t useful, Trump is a good businessman, the right isn’t blatantly racist, trickledown works, Trump’s tax breaks were for everyone, the wall is a good idea and Mexico will pay for it, the election was stolen, ….the list of bat shit crazy insanity you believe could fill three long books.

Cranial Rectosis is curable, Bob. You just need to push and pull at the same time.

You’ve been wrong on every point you’ve made politically for over a decade Bob, don’t you ever want to be correct instead of just extremely Right? Don’t you hate being the party of feelings rather than facts, a cult of personality? That used to be a complaint FROM the right, now it’s 100% descriptive of them.

BTW, the clip you posted of CNN discussing his lower poll numbers, the “slip”, are talking about a slip in their polls from 78%-71%, lower than you might expect from just Democrats (but then, that’s not who they polled) about 25% higher than Trump ever reached on his best day. LMFAHS you deluded ijit!!!

Remember how you love to ignore history and claim Democrats are the party of racism? How many Democrats are members of extremist racist organizations, because the entire Freedom Caucus is and the Republican Party has no problems with that. No censure for holding white supremacist rallies, only for investigating an attack on the capitol by racist terrorists….that gets a censure. But sure, Republicans aren’t racists…they just really love racist imagery, speech, and actions. 🤦‍♂️

Jesus, you’re dumb Bob. Always spouting off about things you know nothing about but feel certain ways about, and you’re always wrong. Try looking up what you think is true before posting, you’ll find that 90+% of what you believe intentionally runs contrary to reality and fact…the other 9.9% is honest mistake or misunderstanding.

I love how he actually mentions that he uses his rifle to "protect Afghan citizens" when he could have just said, "It's the rifle I use to protect your freedom!!!".

And why is that? Because even soldiers tend to be a lot smarter than people with yellow "support our troops" magnets on their cars.

Thanks for reminding me about the time Bush fell flat on his face trying to use a Segway... That was priceless...

But seriously, that's just plain tasteless, even for you, QM. Good to know there's people like you to "support" our troops, especially those who have given more than they should have.

Back to the vid though this is awesome, however, I'm a bit concerned of the obvious (to me at least) military applications. Why send a soldier home minus an arm when you can put him back on the battlefield thanks to a prosthetic with an integrated firearm (no pun intended)?

Then again, I'm a huge Ghost in the Shell fan... so maybe I'm just paranoid.

I for one welcome our new cyborg overlords...

First I'm gonna say that I voted down primarily because this isn't a video; it's a billboard with a soundtrack.

What offends me the most about this resolution isn't that it was passed but that it was even considered.

It's not like this resolution does anything; it's a statement of support which, I submit, is not support at all. (Compare with "Support our troops").

How much time went into this from the initial drafting to the final vote? I don't know but I can tell you it was too much. Doesn't Congress have anything better to spend their time on? Something that might have an effect on the country or the world?

Looks like the Jesus-hawks (BillO and Qshroom) are at it again.

They have apparently forgotten this 'plan' is now being revealed after it was devised and slated for implementation during the Bush administration. They haven't quite figured out that Obama doesn't sit on the throne and affect policy until January of 2009. I guess they don't even understand how the government of the so-called nation that they are so 'uber patriotic' about actually works.

But.. I can't fault them for their 'edumukashun'.

Shroom's mentioned 'stormtroopers' are the very troops he so strongly supported under a redneck administration.

So.. what about 'support our troops and our president or find another country to live in?' What about 'You are with us or against us?'. How does it feel to be on the 'other side'.... My Friends.

Support our troops. Bring them home.

Way to be dismissive about all this. I guess supporting our troops means honoring their memory after they're dead?! F that man, I want my support of troops to be shaking hands, buying beers, and letting them go to college...alive and healthy.

"Support our troops, not the clowns that put them there".

Oh that's okay, I don't have any expectations regarding you getting back to my inane internet correspondence.

The one saving grace is that the US has an entirely volunteer professional army (for now), although you may have heard the phrase "backdoor draft" which entails making those "volunteers" "volunteer" a little more than they might wish, by extending and adding tours of duty and such. We also have the National Guard, which is a part-time force of civilians, who ordinarily offer their services for something like a weekend a month during peacetime, but may be in for extended duties during times of conflict, such as now. There are laws to protect them, such as making it a legal requirement of their employers to have their jobs open for them when they return. These 'Guardsmen' do a lot of the heavy lifting and convoy work, and are in harm's way as much as any other soldier in the case of Iraq. Maybe they do patrols, too.

But by and large, you can shirk any amount of military duty as an American. Every male has the slightly ominous duty of registering for the draft at age eighteen, but aside from that for most Americans the conflict is just pictures on a screen. I think that's part of the problem. Without any real experience, war is fun adventure, a bold crusade for freedom for some of couch-bound America.

Except for the Mothers, Fathers, Brothers and Sisters of the slain. Then it's an entirely different story of immense sorrow mixed with some justifiable pride, one by the grace of God I can't tell.

There are many of these large SUV vehicles driving around getting 30L/100km gas mileage, with these little ribbons on the back that say "support our troops". The drivers clearly can't connect the two concepts of consumption and empire.

Get this, the ribbons aren't even adhesive. They're magnets, so they can be removed at the slightest whim, should the war become unfashionable. I often remove them and toss them up on their tall roofs, surely not to be found for years.

Oh and sorry for the late reply, haven't had the time nor energy to do much of anything but work these past weeks. Just couldn't get anything remotely coherent written down, but hopefully you can discern what I wrote just now


In reply to this comment by Kreegath:
Yeah we've got *sort of* a compulsory military service, in that we're all drafted at the year we turn 18. Then during the draft, we're going through a series of tests to decide what position within the military (if any) we're most suited for/would like the most, and hopefully we're trained for that position for 9-15 months. If memory serves, the tests are separated between physical strength, endurance, intelligence and mental health, all rated from 1-9 were 1 basically means you're dead and 9 means you're in excellent condition for that particular test.
Thing is, about 1 in 10 willing people are actually put in military service today due to cutbacks, and the general concensus is that about 1 in 10 drafted say they want to do their military service at all. And as you can see, the ones who are willing do get some perks, like being able to goof off like that
But the decline of our military is not at all bad if you ask me, first of all because we don't have any enemies, secondly because we don't have much of anything that other countries would want and thirdly because we're members of just about every treaty and defence agreement you can think of. It's just necessary to get enough new blood in order to keep our arms industry going, which sadly is too important for our economy to scrap.

Guess it's kind of different from the states, eh? Don't have a clue how you guys go about it to be honest, but it certainly must be more serious. What with you being the world's only remaining superpower and all. Quite a reputation to live up to for sure!

Well, I think that looks fun as hell! Is some amount of compulsory military service required of Swedish youth, as it is in some countries?

In reply to this comment by Kreegath:
Basically the reporter explains the situation, that the group of youngsters doing their military service training are making a video showing off some cool bazooka action in true US marine spirit, or so they gather from having watched war movies. For some reason they thought it'd be fun to do it in the nude (DON'T ask me why) and the reporter tells us why they should have clothes on (to avoid getting burned by the hot shells and bazooka pipe), then speculates if there really is a rule saying a soldier have to wear clothes or not. We're also told some bigwig in the defence department doesn't approve of the image this video conveys of the Swedish army, but seriously who are we trying to kid. Let them have their fun while they can, they've been educated about the risks and dangers of those weapons.
Personally, I'm in favour of dismantling our the entire defence establishment and just keep the weapon sales industry, because sadly that's one business we can't afford to lose at the moment.

Can you offer any additional insight, Kreegath? Personally I think it's perfectly healthy.

American tax dollars at work. Ya know, I hear a lot of "we don't support the war, but we support our troops," and I think that's bullshit. Someone's on the ground pulling those triggers, and they aren't blameless automatons, regardless of how much they trust(ed) their president and their leaders. And for that matter, regular American citizens aren't blameless either. They have surrendered control over their government, and lie fallow while it continues to murder for oil, money, and imperialism. Flame away.

MG, Scientologists believe their crusade against psychiatry is for the good of all mankind, including us. That doesn't mean we owe them anything. Whether or not they are actually helping is very relevant. What they are ACTUALLY DOING is more important than what they BELIEVE they're doing. Do you grok my analogic consistency check? I am appalled by the common obsession of glorifying the act of dying for one's country in an offensive war. It is not a great thing to die for Dick Cheney in an offensive war that has nothing to do with defending our freedom. "Support our troops" is nothing but an orwellian strawman fascist-enabler. The best thing we can do to help the troops is to bring them home.

Ron Paul tends to make the most sense of any of these candidates. He's the only obvious choice for anyone that gives a crap about our Constitution, our national sovereignty, and anyone that would support our troops would bring them home from a war that has been proven to be illegitemate from the beginning. 9/11 was an excuse for the government to go in and remove a dictator that was installed by the CIA (just like Iran's). Osama Bin Laden - trained by the CIA. I could go on and on.. but the list is huge... Any of you Ron Paul haters see any red flags popping up? Hell-llo?!?!

That is... unless you're pro-destruction of the USA or you're completely brainwashed.

Totally real.
"MSNBC has reported that there is resistance to incorporating Trophy in the US Army. The U.S. Department of Defense has contracted with Raytheon to develop an equivalent system, which will not be ready before 2011 at the earliest (but now declines to say whether it still is on course to meet that deadline),[1] whereas Trophy could be deployed much sooner. According to MSNBC's sources, the reason for not adopting Trophy for now is that it would remove the need for the Raytheon program"

Wonder why this information has been kept from us, how about "supporting our troops"? Even FOX talked about it, probably only once though. http://media2.foxnews.com/040606/040606_fr_tobin_300.swf

haha, support our troop

This guy is cool because he apologizes for the shaky camera, which wasn't nearly as bad as some I've seen. He kept his shakiness to a minimum and recognized that even that was something to avoid. I officially, more than ever, support our troops!
