I knew would fire Tillerson as soon as Tillerson broke ranks and was quoted as being really concerned over Russian involvement in the nerve agent poisoning in the UK yesterday.
Him nominating a female CIA director is a nice idea, but the fact that she's pro-torture and pro-coverup is some deeply bad shit.
Fwiw I never entirely hated Tillerson. Unsympathetic character, but kept his head down and wasn't afraid to contradict . Honestly I felt like he did better than expected.
I sometimes come across old tweets of mine and think I'm the most random fucker ever when everything is patently horrible.
I have stenosis - narrowing of the major nerve sheath - at C5-C7 in my neck, causing pain in my neck and down my left arm. Nothing helps; painkillers don't even touch it. So I said on Twitter "someone send me a book and a pizza" because I've been living off of oranges and miso soup the past several days.
A guy actually sent me a $50 gift cert for Amazon and $50 towards pizzas to my email address!
INTERNET DELIVERS!!!
I love you guys for being nice to me when I'm feeling like a cripple <3
Everything this dumbass chick did is like literally "how to own yourself online 101"."
You know, like maybe if you're trying to live a double life as a white supremacist don't post your picture on your racist accounts? And maybe fudge stuff like your location, occupation, and age?
Ffs I find her rank stupidity more offensive than her views.
It's kinda funny. I'm a near-middle political centrist. Libertarian on social issues, lean conservative on financial and certain justice issues. But I tend to side with Democrats (especially as of 2016) because they're the less harmful of two stupids. Insipid, but not so aggressively a pain in my personal ass as the GOP.
Still, most of the political figures I follow are Republicans. When they're good, they're rad, but I HATE the GOP. Yet I don't like any individual Dems much.
So confusing.
So what did I do?
- Told his First Segeant confidentially, trying to get him help without fucking up his career.
- Told his commander when that didn't work.
- Told his LTC once he made the threat against his CSM, at which point I moved the fuck out.
- Told the federal agent who interviewed me for his security clearance a year later.
Result: He's still in the Army, still has his clearance, and still has his weapons now that the DVPO has expired.
That's how seriously they take these things.
Everybody is like "why were so many red flags missed by law enforcement?" re: the Florida shooter.
Ha. Lemme tell you about my exhusband.
Army Ranger w/a TBI.
Obsessively collects firearms. Had 18 rifles last I knew of.
Severe alcoholic.
Bipolar. The Army put him on anti-psychotics. Sent home early from a deployment for having a psychotic break. Multiple "voluntary" inpatient stays.
Told me he was planning to shoot his CSM.
Domestic violence restraining order (from me).

Pfft whatever, those are crisis hockey players.
Excuse the lengthy PSA but we have a serious problem with troll accounts on Twitter. I'm no expert, but these are the guidelines I generally follow.
This is re: all the fake accounts trying to start shit over Black Panther (and Russia in general): https://www.buzzfeed.com/craigsilverman/trolls-are-posting-fake-claims-of-being-assaulted-at?utm_term=.kwMGeg97#.gb9bOzj2
Got this message on CoSo just now - I use basic-ass PIA on this machine. So my question is what's the best way to access CoSo in the era of no internet privacy protections, short of disconnecting my VPN every time I want to visit? Cuz I always use try to use VPN on Comcast connections. @th3j35t3r ?
"YIKES! You appear to be accessing Counter Social from a prohibited VPN, Proxy, Tor Node, hostile nation IP space or otherwise blacklisted IP. Bye."
Can someone tell me why the fuck Twitter is suggesting *Mitch McConnell* as someone I should follow? I follow intelligent humans, not beady-eyed amphibians that stuff their neckpouches with taxpayer dollars as part of their symbolic mating ritual with the Ku Klux Klan.
Between that and constantly suggesting various sports figures (I hate sports), Twitter's algorithm is made of pure fail.
CoSo user #53. Anti-fascist. Leftist.
The little engine that wished a motherfucker would. Hands rated "E" for everybody.
