Father, widower, proud American and Trump voter. Thank you to all of our service men and women, I am eternally grateful for your service to our great country!
Was it a good question? As far as questions are concerned, I suppose it was, but it was a very obvious trap question meant to put him into a tight spot. In my opinion, the admiral didn't handle answering the question very well either. He dodged around a bit and stumbled over his words before trying to dismiss the premise of the question without directly answering it. He should've just manned up and said that he unequivocally supports the POTUS, serves the people of the USA and protects our lands and water. Or something akin to that.
@Antony_Edwards@PeteHegseth Oh yeah, I'm chubby, not denying that. But, in a field where you're going to be defending your country and kin; lose a few(hundred) pounds.
@Kagan_M_Dunlap First: condolences to the family, I grieve for your loss. Second: whoever pulled the trigger, and whoever drove the car, will most likely not be suffering breath for much longer, God giving. I hope you have arrangements, you stupid fuckwit.
@Kagan_M_Dunlap I do wonder what it must've sounded like up there, on their roof... I mean, I can imagine the chaos and the rushing water, things bashing against their home, the sound of rock and debris being smashed about, but was it a deafening roar? Was it possible to hear each other talking?
@HLC_actual This is way above my pay grade... I'm of the opinion that the Federal Government should, in no way, interfere with my God given rights, that's the job of State Government, and if you don't like a state imposing particular laws on you: vote or move away.
Well, based on a surface level Google search of the topics, these people are in fact linked to the IRGC. Supposedly they're mourning the death of Imam Husayn ibn Ali, who died in 680. The Yazd and the Tabriz are two cities in Iran, which is where the two groups get their names from. These mourning groups are called Heyats. From what I can tell, the IRGC infiltrated these Heyats and during the period of time that they perform this ceremony, the IRGC would pass out large amounts of food, which is a traditional thing that's done for mourners, and thus gained favor in these cities. The people of the area were ingratiated to the IRGC, and they took over. So, from my standpoint, you have two warring cities clashing over, I would assume, getting their shit pushed in by Uncle Sam and the IRGC falling apart, all under the guise of religion.
Soooo, Gangs of New York, but in Iran?
@QuantumGuard17 Should've rolled down the fucking window. More to the point, they should've pulled over before that many officers had to get involved. Even more to the point: that's probably an anchor baby they're crying about.
@HLC_actual So, are we talking about the IRGC run autistic women's hospital with the puppy garden on the first floor, or the IRGC funded puppy daycare that's owned and operated by that famous gay autistic woman? Either way, I'll gladly drive the compactor/roller when we glass that place.
