The reality is that the US Army only has two divisions that are ready deploy and the USMC has just one brigade.

Units returning from Syria (followed by Iraq) and Afghanistan are not going to be ready for further deployments any time soon.

This just in... Trump 'knows tech better than anyone'.

Then who exactly has the duty of protecting and shielding students?

Because if that ruling stands than we're going to see a lot of armed parents hanging around schools.

Burn ointment needed here

The turkey pardon thing is really stupid, but it's supposed to be a light hearted, silly moment of good will that we can put on the news, and show our kids in school because it's just about the LEAST political thing a president can do

So, of course, fucking fuckface bag of shit Trump turns it into an attack on his political opponents and all of us who aren't sucking his toadstool dick on a daily basis, because he's the president of his base.

There is nothing this miserable asshole can't ruin.

So while I got you here, I'd like to totally thank YOU GUYS for making use of this service. Without YOU GUYS, I'd have thrown in the towel back in July.

This place is really all about you. Not COSO, not me.

COSO is a sandpit, but you make the castles.

Happy birthday YOU GUYS.

Woot! 🙏
