Carl Higgbie is a blood-thirsty ghoul. Claiming one can "humanely" blow up power plants is like claiming there is a "humane" way to execute someone. As for the efforts to recover the downed airman, that's what the Air Force does. Because they're are ohana and family means nobody gets left behind. Especially not after "obliterating" a whole school of little girls.
Since Mr Higbie thinks war crimes are no big deal, I will have to assume that he committed war crimes while he was in the military. There is no other way to interpret the shit that dribbled from his mouth hole. Newsmax and all of its people suck so much.
Does that meathead, who thinks we should care so much about our downed airmen or his friends (assuming they actually liked him) give the slightest fuck about all of the school girls we splatted to smithereens? The degree to which we, including, much of the liberal media and politicians, just glossing over what we've done is grotesque. Just think about going through the rubble of the school we blew up on day 1 and finding body parts of 12 and 13 year old girls. Think about finding little arms, legs, torsos, etc. in that rubble. We need to bring this down to the reality of what the awful shit we do results in.
So Megyn’s message is “democrats are the party of the ugly, unwashed masses while republicans are the party of the blow dried and botoxed elites like me.”
You go with that message, Megyn. I’m sure it will go over great in the midterms.
So I was arguing with some imbecil on a friend's post about Trump's Easter Sunday abomination of a post, and the guy has the cojones to say that the Iranians would behead the American pilot on TV. I said "where did you get that one??" I didn't stick around for the answer, given the imbecil's penchant for Trumpian rhetoric, because I sure wasn't going to get an answer. THANK YOU ROBYN PENNACHIA! for posting about equally imbecilic Carl Higbee's blathering on the Newsmax propaganda channel because THAT'S WHERE HE GOT THE IDEA that the pilot would get beheaded on Iranian TV if we didn't get him out.....and that's why we needed to do as Trumplestiltskin says and bomb them into the Stone Age. People can't tell when some Newsmax shithead is shovelling his latest load and when there is an actual threat that something like beheading a pilot on TV *might* not-might happen. Our friends and neighbors--or our friends's friends and neighbors--are so removed from reality that they can't tell when some shithead on Newsmax with no knowledge of anything is fucking with them because he has a platform to do it. Color me pissed off as hell that people like Carl Higbee are on TV saying shit that people repeat as gospel when it is nothing but crack-addled hot air.
"Beheading on TV" - that's actually something ISIS and the Taliban did, not Iran. (Iran did televise a public execution by hanging, but then - so did we, when Saddam Hussein was executed.)
Exactly! There was no reason to conflate the Iranian regime with ISIS. Higbee said that just to get people riled up to support Mango Mussolini's genocidal desires. Utterly despicable
You missed my point, which was that people who don't seem to know better are repeating what they hear on Newsmax, from some dipshit, as if it will happen. They don't even realize that what the Newsmax person says isn't grounded in reality.Yet they still believe it!
I remember Vietnam, but it sounds like you remember the POW issue a lot more clearly (i was a little kid. Bleeding solders on primetime news was traumatic enough.) so, thanks.
I was a teenager in a military family in those years. Some of our neighbors became casualties. The Navy hospital nearby had Marines just a few years older than me who had that thousand yard stare. My dad and his buddies would talk about some of the “WTF were they thinking?” things that they saw first hand.
"there are a whole lot of people out there who really believe that the United States of America should get to go around doing whatever it wants to other countries without ever expecting any retaliation" They are the same guys who really believe that they, as individuals, should get to go around doing whatever they want to other people without anyone else fighting back, resisting, or even complaining
It's exactly this -- and I wish this comment had gotten more attention since it's not just the center of the MAGA / Confederate ethos ... it's the entire reason why they voted for the Orange Oaf in the first place.
His position is aspirational for them. THEY TOO want to commit heinous crimes & inflict pain on other people and suffer zero consequences (which is exactly what seems to be happening to him, other than DA Alvin Bragg beating his *ss -- he has essentially failed so many times, but keeps failing upward).
The Trump administration will keep the $70m jet Kristi Noem leased during her time as homeland security secretary, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing a department spokesperson and other officials. Select cabinet secretaries and first lady Melania Trump willl have access to the luxury jet, a Boeing 737-Max equipped with a queen-size bed, showers, a kitchen, four flat-screen TVs and a bar.
While leading the Department of Homeland Security, Noem said the agency had leased the plane for deportation flights. The $70m jet was among three luxury planes that Noem faced criticism for obtaining with taxpayer dollars: she also spent $200m on two private Gulfstream jets for herself and deputy DHS secretary Troy Edgar.
Trump announced he was replacing Noem as head of DHS last month, after a series of highly publicized ICE killings in Minnesota.
And we'll just rinse and repeat and continue this long, slow descent into oblivion instead of getting it all the fuck over with and maybe have a chance of changing our system.
What’s the over/under for how many women Carl has sexually harassed/assaulted?
Hey, this tough guy is 2 weeks away from turning 43. Re-enlist, Go fight the good fight, Carl.
Trump cease fire equals "All right, we'll call it a draw."

It’s all fun and war crimes until the war crimes are crimed upon you, huh Carl? You noodle-brained shit stain excuse for a homunculus.

There are some truly evil fuckers out there.

Newsmax: for those who think Fox doesn’t lick Pedo47’s balls vigorously enough.

Dead pilots are done and only serve as martyrs for the other side. Live pilots are very useful in negotiations. Plus, they can be made dead any time.
You missed my point, which was that people who don't seem to know better are repeating what they hear on Newsmax, from some dipshit, as if it will happen. They don't even realize that what the Newsmax person says isn't grounded in reality.Yet they still believe it!
Sorry, I’m old enough to remember the years of bullshit during the Vietnam War, where the POW issue was part of the settlement for the US.
Newsmax is just another spreader of the current crap.
I remember Vietnam, but it sounds like you remember the POW issue a lot more clearly (i was a little kid. Bleeding solders on primetime news was traumatic enough.) so, thanks.
We agree on Newsmax, that's for sure.
We’re good.

Does Krusty get her blanket back though, is the question?
Does Melania Trump also get access to Corey Lewandoski? (sp, don't care).
Markwaynebillybob weeps.
Russia circa 2012.
“Not a peep, though, when I got hit by an Iranian built IED that killed three of my friends right next to me.”
There is NO WAY that this guy saw battle. No one who has been to one war thinks that another is good. Just no way!
Psychopaths are very good at war, as it turns out. I also believe that he also didn't care when (if) anyone near him got blown up.
He was probably playing a video game.
forward he cried from the rear …
at the front men died …
generals sat while lines on a map …
moved from side to side …
hanging on in quiet desperation is now OUR way …
too true!
Stop the presses! New cease fire agreement offered. Deadline extension in the works! We may live to see another day...
Where are you seeing this?
It was Reuters. I don't subscribe so I only get the headline and subhead.
Seems like someone's saved Orange's bacon once again.
TACO Tuesday!
And we'll just rinse and repeat and continue this long, slow descent into oblivion instead of getting it all the fuck over with and maybe have a chance of changing our system.
Offered, but not yet accepted.
Close enough for market futures.
