Gross: Trump’s Bald Pate Revealed in Nauseating Video
Seems like our President is kinda bald, in a gross way:
If I were someone crass like Donald Trump, I might respond to this by saying: Yuck. Look at that head! He’s disgusting. He’s no longer a 10. His hair loss is a real problem. He’s probably bleeding badly from scalp reduction surgery.
I already know that the comments section will be filled with squealing that would make a stuck pig jealous. How dare I, etc. etc. The scolds will put their hands on their hips and cluck their tongues, saying that anyone who would dare comment on this just discredits themselves, yada yada yada. I could write these trite and predictable comments myself. Indeed, the people who have noted this so far have gone crazy anticipating this negative reaction, and have rationalized to the nth degree their decision to say something in public about it, because they know the tut-tut brigade will be out in full force. It’s as if they feel ashamed to even be saying anything about.
Not me. I’m not ashamed to note this — at all. So you can save your outrage that I’m commenting on the guy’s appearance. Why do I feel zero shame doing so? For a whole host of reasons. Here are merely five of them:
1. Trumpalos like fighting fire with fire, right? Well, few people have spent so much time commenting about other people’s appearance as Donald Trump. Here’s a nice summary. Trump has called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. And no, not just Rosie O’Donnell. He said Heidi Klum is “no longer a 10.” He said “Look at that face!” about Carly Fiorina. He posted that nasty tweet about Heidi Cruz. He called Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” and said on Fox & Friends that her weight was a “real problem.” In talking in the Access Hollywood tape about moving on Nancy O’Dell “like a bitch” Trump said: “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.” Mika Brzezinski was “bleeding badly from a face-lift.”
If you can’t condemn Trump’s comments about others’ appearance, in a firm, full-throated, unapologetic, non-half-assed way — then you know exactly where you can cram your outrage over my posting this video.
2. It’s not that he’s bald. It’s the ridiculous and laughable steps he takes to cover it up that are absurd. The clip above seems to confirm the account given by that demon from Hell, Michael Wolff, in his book “Fire and Fury.” Wolff says that Ivanka herself explained Trump’s ridiculous hair as a bizarre result of a weird scalp-reduction surgery:
She treated her father with a degree of detachment, even irony, going so far as to make fun of his comb-over to others. She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color.
Seems about right, doesn’t it? Remember point #1? For a guy who comments about other people’s appearance so much, this sort of ridiculous compensation for what normally happens to aging men is pathetic.
3. Presidents are too venerated in general. They need to be taken down a peg on a regular basis. That means Trump, Obama, Bush — the lot of them.
4. But a bully like Trump especially deserves to be taken down. There’s nothing I like more than mocking a bully.
5. I enjoy making the most extreme Trumpalos cry and wail and gnash their teeth. Your overdone outrage makes me smile. Your tears of anger taste delicious to me.
So go ahead. Commence your tut-tutting and squealing. Just know this: your odds of causing me to feel Deep Shame are precisely zero.

OH MY GOD HOW DARE YOU COMMENT ON SOMEONE ELSE’S APPEARANCE PATTERICO YOU HAVE TRULY JUMPED THE SHARK GOD BLESS TRUMP
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:02 pmThat must be an example of that “DeepFakes” video spoofing software that miscreants and pervs are using to insert, for example, Natalie Portman’s face on a porn-star’s body mid-performance. That must be Fake News! Surely our beloved President wouldn’t have been hiding that “Put-Your-Helmet-Back-On,-Darth!” pate from us all this time, would he?
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:12 pmYou have exceeded my expectations of you.
Good job!
BuDuh (fc15db) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:13 pmAre we still crediting gelatinous slime mould Wolff with anything, the fact that morning jokes toothsome duo finally jettisoned him like a errant sample of andromeda should be a clue.
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:15 pmThat doesn’t look so good. I wonder if he’s heard of the Hair Club for Men? Or maybe a couple coats of Krylon Orange?
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:16 pmNot at all. He is the very Devil incarnate. I thought I made that clear when I called him a demon from Hell.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:17 pmLOL
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:17 pmI must have missed that, when you let that slander against haley and or hicks sit there for a week, how about that an accessory of your real adversary Cody shearer seems to hop deep in this dossier dump
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:21 pmGood grief! It’s worse than I thought. I thought he had a simple combover, like Dugout Doug, but with Aqua Net instead of Vaseline. How did he lose it in the back? Was that the botched operation that caused him to beat Ivana, his first wife, as she supposedly related?
nk (dbc370) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:21 pmVanity is a cruel mistress.
One of the most sage federal district court judges I ever had the chance to practice before had a comb-over that makes Trump’s hair look like its natural.
And he twice had a “face peel” to reduce wrinkles which left him looking like he’d stayed in the desert sun for 12 hours in July.
But, he was married 3 times, each time to woman another generation younger than him — i.e, the first was 15 years younger, the second was 25 years younger, and the third was about 31 years younger. So he was always in search of ways to look more youthful.
Bleh.
shipwreckedcrew (56b591) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:22 pm1 — I agree with your POV that Trump’s comments about others have made this kind of observation about him fair game.
shipwreckedcrew (56b591) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:22 pmPresident Tiny Fingers won’t like this one damn bit. Maybe he will Twitter you.
JD (ec3581) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:25 pmHey jd the gamg is back, seriously a long thread about some errant comment you can’t find a single on the record source for.
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:29 pmNot that I would make such comments about Patterico, SWC, but does that mean that, because of this thread topic, personal comments about him are fair game?
BuDuh (fc15db) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:30 pmOH MY GOD FIRST STASHIU3 AND NOW JD, THIS IS SO GREAT
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:32 pmI can answer that. Nope. Next question!
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:33 pmYou guys are all coming back because you know my 15th blogiversary is in a few days and you wanted to have a virtual surprise bash, is that it?
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:34 pmJust making sure.
BuDuh (fc15db) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:35 pmDang automistake, there was another dave but he went deranged around the time of the events in sangord.
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:36 pmBut Hillary something something.
But Obama something something.
But Lewinsky something something.
AND WHAT ABOUT CHAPPAQUIDDICK???
Dave (445e97) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:41 pmI dont think you have to be ashamed about anything but you are projecting a tad bit. do you feel “shame” since you are thinking/talking about it?
I mean I laugh at this because alot of POTUS covered up their physical “faults”.
Ever hear of dentures? or whigs? or…well you get the point.
You don’t make any of us who appreciate Trump upset that you want to “take him down a peg” (you have alot of company in this endeavor dont you? just saying….95% of the media does this on an hourly basis) Its par for the POTUS Trump course.
swing away by all means. I would agree that we tend to worship our leaders and thats not what this country should be about. we also tend to worship our political ideologies as well. whether “conservative” or “liberal”. you would think anyone who veers away from “political dogma” is a “heretic” worthy to be burned at the stake…or pulled by their hair….or….I digress….
….but we also are allowed to knock the press “down a peg”: Because the press sure isn’t any better at being worshipped then our various POTUS.
cheers and good luck on your knocking down and all…stand on line with the rest of the media. But what everyone doesn’t realize that most, if not all of us, who voted for Trump wasn’t because we agreed with his “looks”….Thats more like the elections of 1960, 1992, 1996, 2008 and 2012. The election of 2016 was more about ideas and whats under the skin than whats glued on top of it.
or did you miss that memo?
again cheers with your endeavor/vendetta.
PS posted for truth:
In the United States, only four presidents from John Adams to James Monroe wore curly powdered wigs tied in a queue according to the old-fashioned style of the 18th century. Unlike them, the first president George Washington never wore a wig; instead, he powdered, curled and tied in a queue his own long hair. William Henry Harrison (1841) A member of the ‘Whig’ political party, Harrison appeared to have his own hair, but combed it forward in the “Caesar” style which can conceal a receding hairline….etc…
Where Eagles Dare (8f562c) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:41 pmFDR was a bully, too. Would you laugh if his braces broke?
Kevin M (752a26) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:43 pmEven more disgusting than a sarlaacs innards
https://www.google.com/amp/s/legalinsurrection.com/2018/02/senate-reaches-trillion-dollar-budget-deal/amp/
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:44 pmAfter all, we all knew he wore a rug. It happens. He also wears makeup on camera. If that were Hillary Clinton and her wig came flying off, I rather doubt the film would see the light of day.
Kevin M (752a26) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:47 pmNarciso–
So long as there is no clear winner in our elections (and the filibuster makes that nearly certain) there will not be the sort of fiscal housecleaning we need.
Either that or we run out of Chinese people’s money.
Kevin M (752a26) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:49 pmPatterixo / I’d venture to say that I’m probably one of a handful of people that has read every post at this site, and it’s predecessor. Just because I haven’t commented doesn’t mean I’m not lurking. Your collection of trolls remains their typical passive-aggressive condescending mendoucheous ways.
JD (7b02db) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:52 pmObviously, Trump needs to try a can of Perma-Lacque Hair Spray.
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:52 pmI don’t particularly care about Trump’s fragile ego, but it just seems disrespectful of the Office. I’d be more upset if Trump wasn’t so disrespectful of the office, but it just seems gauche.
Kevin M (752a26) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:52 pmHiya JD!
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:53 pmProbably the latter, that is why I found the caterwalling over the cbo a contrived exercise. And the little haircut we had last week seems more absurd.
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:53 pmThe histories I’ve read seem to agree that polio (and the humility that came with it) changed FDR from being a pretty complete @sshole into someone (still a shifty political hard-baller, to be sure) with a degree of genuine empathy.
If Trump ever showed even a glimmer of that, my attitude toward him would change dramatically. I’m not holding my breath.
Dave (445e97) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:54 pmTut tut.
heh
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:56 pmDave – feel free to hold your breath.
JD (7b02db) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:56 pmYou have so many memos out there showing corruption at all levels if the government and this is what you waste time posting.
Fascinating.
NJRob (75ed0c) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:56 pmNo you
Dave (445e97) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:59 pmYes who cares about the festering pustules of rot as long as Bezos Carlos slims and the dog trainer say it’s ok (is that image vivid enough)
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:01 pmMemo memo memo memo memo memo memo memo memo memo
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:01 pmWake me when there’s actual evidence.
Honestly, meh. I agree that pointing out hypocrisy is fair game. To say that this crosses some line of decency towards the office of the President of the United States is kind of silly. Presidents have been subjected to far worse, for far less reason.
Doesn’t mean I don’t like what he’s actually doing, but teasing him about his vanity is funny. I couldn’t do it while on active duty, but you might remember the comparison pictures of President Bush with monkey faces. I didn’t like it, but I knew it was funny. Then, when President Obama was elected, suddenly monkey faces were racist. Strange how that happens. Especially since you could find a monkey face that resembles anyone alive or dead.
We all need to lighten up. Not everything is life and death… or worse than Hitler.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:03 pmWow. I had no idea. That really means a lot to me. Seriously.
As does seeing the word mendoucheous in comments again.
There’s only one more word we need to see to completely set things right…
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:03 pmPatterico,
You didn’t ask for evidence about the Wolff book. You didn’t ask for evidence when you claimed that Comey verified parts of the dossier or even what he verified. Why the change of heart?
NJRob (75ed0c) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:04 pmDave – I stand here sufficiently chastised by your cutting and witty rejoinder. The level of eloquence and originality is unmatched.
JD (7b02db) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:05 pmNo you
Dave (445e97) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:59 pm
Your go-to comeback needs work. If you want my interest, and I know you do, please put in the required rhetorical effort to earn it. Good luck!
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:05 pmYeah, I don’t really care about the office too much. I want to be left alone and not bankrupt my children and I don’t have a lot of respect left to give.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:06 pmThere’s only one more word we need to see to completely set things right…
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:03 pm
Racist!
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:06 pmIt’s impressive how many distortions you were able to pack into such a short comment. It shows a kind of talent, actually.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:07 pmNot bad, but not quite what I had in mind. I think JD knows what word I mean. It got me chastised on a lefty radio program once…
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:08 pmPatterico – Dave and Ben are twatwaffles.
JD (7b02db) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:08 pmHis head reminds me of Darth Vader’s when Luke Skywalker removed his helmet. Ick.
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:09 pmFDR systematically deceived the American public, with the active connivance of the press, about the extent of his disability through four presidential elections. I’m not arguing that his disability made him unfit to be POTUS. It was his dishonesty, and yes, I have no problem with ridiculing him for that. Ditto x 10 for JFK, who concealed not only his medical condition but his womanizing. And then there’s Bubba ….
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:10 pmEven typos set off flags or elaborate illusions
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:10 pmJD, well waddaya know! This really has turned out to be the blast from the past tonight. Good to hear from you.
JVW (42615e) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:10 pmDING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER
I mean about the word.
I think y’all are being a little hard on Dave.
But yes, that’s the word.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:10 pmJD, so good to see you again. 🙂
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:10 pmPatterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:07 pm
The words you were looking for:
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:10 pm“Impressive. Every word in that sentence was wrong.”
‘Luke Skywalker’
Patterico – I forgot about that radio show. I wish they would have let me call in.
JD (7b02db) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:13 pmDid you try?
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:14 pmThere’s only one cure for the President’s follicular problem: He’s got to go full ducktail in the back so that this tragedy never happens again. If this means that Joe Biden has to be captured and his pineal gland harvested and implanted in the President’s head then that’s just the sacrifice a patriotic fella like Joe is going to have to make.
JVW (42615e) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:15 pmIt’s especially rich that a vain man like Trump, who obviously prides himself on having married a stunning woman to show off, is himself just average. But now with this skullduggery,I’m rating him much lower than average.
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:16 pm*googles pineal gland*
Oh OK I was worried there for a sec
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:16 pmJVW,
I’m not sure anything transplanted from Joe would be safe. Do you really want to trigger Armageddon?
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:16 pmOhhhhhh ISWYDT
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:16 pmI have to up my game now that I know JD is reading all this sh!t
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:17 pmI have to work with what I’m given.
Your oh-so-eloquent-and-original childish insult deserved nothing more than an equally childish retort.
Dave (445e97) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:18 pmTrump is a billionaire. Why not not get only the best plugs ever?!
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:18 pmI wonder if he’s heard of the Hair Club for Men?
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:16 pm
Hillary will never be president of that either.
Pinandpuller (74c922) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:19 pmMaybe he’s not.
*faux shocked face with hand covering mouth*
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:19 pmTrump should’ve given everyone behind him a heads-up. He knew it was windy and the cameras were rolling.
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:19 pmWas that the botched operation that caused him to beat Ivana, his first wife, as she supposedly related?
nk (dbc370) — 2/7/2018 @ 8:21 pm
Who pulled whose hair?
Pinandpuller (74c922) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:20 pmWith Biden, it’s very hard to tell what’s OEM and what’s after-market. I’m not sure about the pineal gland, but I definitely don’t think you’d get to transfer the original warranty on anything from the general vicinity of his scalp.
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:20 pmFunny, people here are totally taking this post in stride while it’s the RedState folks that are freaking out.
I’m having fun with both sets because I’m just in that kind of goofy mood. But it’s way more fun here, especially with Stash and JD.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:20 pmTreason at 66!
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:21 pmYou know I’m in that handful JD mentioned, right? Well, not the previous site, but this one. It took forever to read all the old comments when I became a moderator… it seemed a waste not to keep up, even if I wasn’t “talking”
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:21 pmI did not. I’m finding out a lot tonight and it’s very nice to hear.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:23 pmTrump should’ve given everyone behind him a heads-up.
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:19 pm
ISWYDT
nice
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:23 pmP – sh!t and shlt were my favorite ways around the filters.
Oh, there is no reason to apologize for mocking Tiny Fingers. He deserves it.
JD (ec3581) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:23 pmAre my privileges still intact?
JD (ec3581) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:25 pmDang, that one slipped by me.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:25 pmWell, this has been fantastic but I turn in earlier these days what with the advanced age and whatnot. Great to see old friends here. Carry on!
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:28 pmAlthough if you ponder on that particular invective, TMI, so semantic disco, iamadimwit would make a trifect
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:30 pmSometimes you have to ignore trolling.
AZ Bob (f60c80) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:30 pmFrank Sinatra’s toupee never let him down like that.
JVW (42615e) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:30 pmHope they don’t get a wild hair and try to scalp you.
Dana (023079) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:30 pmHe deserves it.
JD (ec3581) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:23 pm
Don’t we all? You don’t get very far if you’re always outraged. We all have things that could be mocked. If you can’t take it in stride, you’ve given up choice and given others power over you. Lightening up is much more fun. As we used to say in the field (quite often) Joke’m if they can’t take a f**k!
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:31 pmAlso: Hi Stash!
Can anyone else hear a sound at about 12 seconds in, just above the whine of the jet engines — a sound like Velcro separating, just when the really big flap goes all parachutish?
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:31 pmDana is on fire! lmao
Reminds me of Machinist. Dry puns are awesome!
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:32 pmAlso reminds me of the door of a DeLorean going up. Kinda retro and Back to the Future-ish. Or maybe Sally Fields as the Flying Nun-ish. Do you think there might be an OSHA violation, having that so close to jet engines?
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:34 pmHey Beldar!
Sorry, I rarely play the videos. I remember when 1/3 were sincere, 1/3 were rick-rolls, and the last third was some variant of a male stripper swinging his… well, you know. Got out of the video habit back then. I’ll take your word for it. 😉
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:36 pmSo the aide to Mike Lee and orrin hatch, how were his impulse control ossues missed.
narciso (d1f714) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:43 pmI think y’all are being a little hard on Dave.
Oh, from time to time he seems almost reasonable, but then he puts his trollhat on and…
Kevin M (752a26) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:44 pmDo you think there might be an OSHA violation, having that so close to jet engines?
Now, if it had flown off and into the engine, I’d be laughing so hard I’d have trouble hitting the replay button.
Kevin M (752a26) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:46 pmRemember, Dave started off with his war-porn fantasies of the United States military invading France and demanding surrender.
Really not sure anyone has been too hard on him, but I will cool it. For his part, don’t start nothing… won’t be nothing.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 9:52 pmaka humor.
You should really follow this guy’s advice:
Dave (445e97) — 2/7/2018 @ 10:00 pmNo you
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/7/2018 @ 10:06 pmI knew we could get along!
Dave (445e97) — 2/7/2018 @ 10:07 pmUmmm, Yes I have a question. [jpg]
papertiger (c8116c) — 2/7/2018 @ 10:11 pmUnflattering headshot or Russian collusion?
“Mr. Campbell testified for over four hours until he answered every question from three Congressional committees; the Senate Judiciary, House Oversight and House Intelligence committees.
He recounted numerous times that the Russians bragged that the Clintons’ influence in the Obama administration would ensure CIFIUS approval for Uranium One. And he was right.”

Can you answer my question from the last thread? How does whether I served in the military or not change the meaning of my words? Please stop running from the question.
Follow-up. Is anyone who didn’t serve in the military a chickenhawk? If not, why not?
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 7:33 am141 – congrats Leviticus. Your life will be forever changed, but in only the best ways you can imagine.

Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 7:40 amHoly mackerel! Congratulations on the marriage and the upcoming daughter! You never tell us anything. I feel like I watched you grow up.
Our daughter turns 18 today. The time flies.
Patterico (115b1f) — 2/8/2018 @ 7:43 amI understand completely. You want to silence other opinions by casting the chickenhawk slur. It has nothing to do with credibility.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 7:41 am
It has everything to do with credibility.
That you don’t recognize words must sync with behavior for credible reputation is quite mind-boggling.
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 7:46 amWow, are you truly that demented? For oil? How much oil have we gotten from the Iraq War?
I don’t think not serving makes someone a chickenhawk, even if they were eligible during a time of war. Only about 1% of our population has served. Even during the World Wars, serving was not universal, yet not everyone who didn’t was a coward or a chickenhawk.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 7:46 amBut you are a Trumpkin, no? That explains a lot.
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 7:47 amBen thinks you must have a posteriori knowledge.

Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 8:01 amThanks, everyone, for the good energy. In many ways, I did grow up here – to the extent that I have grown up at all – and I am thankful to many of you for helping me on my way.
Also: can we give Ben burn a timeout, please? He’s harshing a nice mellow up in here.
Leviticus (efada1) — 2/8/2018 @ 8:02 amPatrick — any views on the mostly unredacted Grassley memo, since it includes footnotes and quotes to the underlying FISA documents, and testimony of FBI officials, the lack of which seemed to be the basis for your dismissal of the summaries in the House GOP memo.
For instance, the fact that Comey admitted in testimony, and the FISA documents seem to confirm, that there was no substantive corroboration of the factual claims made in the Steele memos, but the FBI chose to rely on Steele’s personal credibility and past reliability to accept uncritically the anonymous sources behind his information when it was clear the FBI could not corroborate or confirm the information?
There’s a lot more to unpack from the Grassley memo, but its useless to do so if you’ve just decided to waive it off like you did the GOP memo.
shipwreckedcrew (56b591) — 2/8/2018 @ 8:03 amYour wavering Sasha. Have some faith in yourself.

Although, if he keeps calling me Sasha, accidents happen. (I kid! I find it amusing.)

Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 8:11 amWhere did I say mocking Trumps appearance is wrong? Or not wrong? What has the Bible to do with it? Or are you a very religious person and never sin yourself? I have found in life people who quote the Bible to others as an insult and use the Bible as a club to beat those with whom they disagree are very, very shallow and foolish hypocrites. So was your comment to me what you would have me do unto you?
Oh, and don’t ever try and explain or define my belief in Christianity or its application because you have absolutely no clue.

Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 8:52 amHere is my take:
Trump has
(a) the personal morals of John Kennedy and Bill Clinton;
(b) the mouth of Lyndon Johnson;
(c) the bigotry of Richard Nixon;
(d) the narcissism of a 16-year-old prima donna; and
(e) the policies and cabinet of Ronald Reagan.
Does (e) make up for (a) through (d)? That is the conundrum we conservatives face.

Not sure I agree with (c), while (a) is troubling. Both (b) and (d) may be necessities in today’s political climate. Not something I would want in a friend, but not inherently bad things when combined with (e). At least until progressivism is dead. Bring back classic liberals and we’ll be okay.
YMMV
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 9:03 amTwo problems.
First. you didn’t serve so you need to shut your commie loving pie hole maggot.
Second. According to the Marine Corp Handbook the military is absolutely Donald Trump’s to use and abuse this way. In fact, your drill instructor derives his ability to use and abuse recruits in a chain of command leading up to The POTUS Donald J Trump.
Not the chief justice. Not the speaker of the house. The Potus . God is implied even

Thanks. I was unaware that the USA stole oil from Iraq, or got it for free or at a discount or any of that.
Oh wait. It didn’t.
Indeed one of Trump’s loonier ideas, in 2016, was to have a do-over and seize some oil from Iraq.
The war in Iraq was a stupid, destructive idea, but it had zip to do with “Iraq for oil”. As I recall, it was mostly CIA incompetence, American hubris and the ignorant, insular, hillbilly yokel attitude of too many Bushies that Iraqis want the same things as Americans.

NOT OK
‘It’s Bad’: Omarosa Cries Through Description of Trump White House on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’
MATT WILSTEIN
02.08.18 12:37 PM ET
YOUTUBE
Omarosa Manigault may have gotten off to a confident start on the latest edition of CBS’ Celebrity Big Brother. But on Thursday night’s episode, she breaks down.
In a new clip released ahead of the show’s second episode, the former Apprentice contestant and ousted White House staffer tearfully opens up to E! correspondent Ross Mathews about the state of the Trump administration, revealing a picture that sounds a lot like what Michael Wolff describes in Fire and Fury.
“I felt like it was a call to duty,” Manigault says, whispering for some reason despite the plethora of microphones and cameras. “I felt like I was serving my country, not serving him.”
“Like, I was haunted by tweets every single day,” she adds, dramatically. “Like, what is going to tweet next?” Positioning herself as a defender of decency, Manigault says she tried to be the person who would question the president, but everyone around him started “attacking” her instead. She seems to express a degree of jealousy that Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner were able to get closer to the president than she was.
Last fall, The Daily Beast reported that Manigault was “patient zero” in Chief of Staff John Kelly’s attempts to limit unfettered access to Trump. One White House official said Kelly was “thrilled that he has been able to stop staffers including Omarosa from bolting into the Oval Office and triggering the president with White House [palace] intrigue stories.”
“It’s not my circus, not my monkeys,” Manigault says. “I’d like to say not my problem, but I can’t say that because, it’s bad.”

Not when it comes to immigration, where his policies are like none that you’ve seen before, and he’s probably going to shut down the government because of it, although he will blame the Democrats in the House for being unreasonable by not signing on to what he will more or less call no brainer changes in immigration law.

papertiger (c8116c) — 2/8/2018 @ 11:02 amWhere Trump supporters really do get “Never Trumpers” very wrong is in the realm of motivation and sincerity. Many of them ludicrously believe, or at least claim to, that people like me automatically oppose Trump on everything for one or more of the following reasons: blind hatred of him personally, an unwillingness to admit we were wrong about him, and a desire to benefit career-wise by currying favor with the liberal mainstream media.
Personally, it is bad enough to get called stupid or liberal, but it is far more infuriating to have your integrity questioned, especially when you are taking a stand based entirely on principle and the long-term interest of the country. While there may be a couple of Anti-Trump conservatives who have benefited in some way while also completely losing their impartiality about Trump (Ana Navarro comes to mind), that is very much not the norm.

narciso (364166) — 2/8/2018 @ 11:04 am@ Stash, re M*A*S*H: My dad was a junior USNR officer aboard the USS Zeilin (APA-3), an attack transport that participated in most of the major Pacific island invasions, from March 1944-March 1946. In the very early 1970s, when I was in high school, I bought and read Richard Hooker’s original book, “M*A*S*H,” because I was frankly fascinated by the iconic paperback book cover, which featured a giant peace-sign-making human hand perched atop a long, sleek, tanned pair of bare female legs.
I’m pretty sure it was the very first book I ever shared with my dad, who wasn’t much of a fiction reader. He in turn enthusiastically shared it with several other of his contemporaries in our small town who’d been veterans. I asked him why exactly he had responded to the book so enthusiastically. I told him the book was widely viewed as being a critique on the then-still-ongoing war in Vietnam even though it was set in Korea.
He shook his head. “I don’t know if it’s anti-war or not,” he said, “but I do know this is the first book I’ve ever read which actually demonstrates an understanding of what happens when you recruit a bunch of American citizen-soldiers and -sailers, and then put them under the orders of the regular Army and Navy during wartime. They’d all go completely insane if they couldn’t find things to laugh at, and that’s what this book seems to understand. This is actually the kind of sick and outrageous humor among brothers that got me through the war.”
When the movie version of M*A*S*H eventually came out, he liked it better than most war movies (which he generally regarded as silly). (His lifelong favorite war movie turned out to be “Saving Private Ryan,” mostly because of the Higgins boat scenes in the first few minutes: He commanded one such at the (Second) Battle of Guam.) But he never really got into the TV version of M*A*S*H for one reason or another; he thought it was too tame, too much of a sit-com.
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/8/2018 @ 11:10 amAnd (still working my way through comments): Many ‘grats, Leviticus!
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/8/2018 @ 11:15 amI’m pretty sure that was the same conversation in which my dad explained to me the meaning of the comprehensively useful terms SNAFU and FUBAR, and (b) the ways in noncoms actually run both the Army and the Navy, and why we’re all better for that.
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/8/2018 @ 11:20 am* that phrase ought to have read: “and (b) the ways in which noncoms actually run ….”
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/8/2018 @ 11:21 amBut he never really got into the TV version of M*A*S*H for one reason or another; he thought it was too tame, too much of a sit-com.
I never had your dad’s experience of wartime service, but I also always wondered why M*A*S*H the tv show was so widely celebrated. I don’t find it any more humorous or interesting in comparison to other sitcoms of that era like Laverne & Shirley or Eight Is Enough. I’ve only seen the movie once, years and years ago, but I do recall it being better than the tv show.

Pinandpuller (16b0b5) — 2/8/2018 @ 12:00 pmYes, disheartening.
He was inspiring after 9/11, so go smoke something. The country had a chance to come together for decades. It was ruined, as it so often goes, by progressives changing their tune after a couple of years and becoming seditious again. Maybe they just bided their time. Likely. I didn’t truly become disappointed in him until TARP. The entire progressive wishlist just handed to them as he left.
I respected that he stayed pretty quiet after leaving office, no matter how much the media attempted to bait him into saying something bad about President Obama. He should have kept that policy intact. My last shreds of respect for him have dwindled.

aphrael (d40275) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:02 pmWas there a point there somewhere? Have you abandoned your “lame charade” theory? Acknowledged you were wrong? I’ve done that on many occasions here. Always under the name Stashiu3. Do you have anything substantive? Okay then.
I accept your unconditional surrender.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:03 pmI thought Pattericos gratuitous attack was inebriation from seeing your name along with JD. He doesn’t know what to think of me so he defaults to Lefty. Fine. Bury your head.

Have you provided the corollary? Go fish.
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:05 pmaphrael, I honestly didn’t make that connection. It didn’t even occur to me that he thought JD and I were the same person. I did think he assumed we conspired, but those who know us are aware that there is no need. We have disagreed on a very few occasions, but always understood each other.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:06 pmhe’s making $15 bucks an hour to just spew nonsense and try to hijack threads.

Ben burn is beginning to resemble catnip. He’s hilarious. Accusing me of sockpuppeting? How far wrong can anyone go? 😉
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:12 pmYou implied sockpuppet or are you a liar as Well?

Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:21 pmSo, for the record. Are you admitting that I never implied I was a sockpuppet?

papertiger (c8116c) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:25 pmBen Burn is holding a 2-7 off-suit, and playing it like pocket aces. And he’s the only person at the table who’s not aware of this.
Chuck Bartowski (bc1c71) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:26 pmBTW, welcome back JD. I want to publicly thank you for reaching out to me a couple of years ago, following the death of my grandson. You’re a good guy, and deserve recognition for it.
Chuck Bartowski (bc1c71) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:27 pm“Saving Private Ryan,” mostly because of the Higgins boat scenes in the first few minutes: He commanded one such at the (Second) Battle of Guam.) But he never really got into the TV version of M*A*S*H for one reason or another; he thought it was too tame, too much of a sit-com.
Beldar (fa637a) — 2/8/2018 @ 11:10 am
I heard that Judd Apatow is remaking Saving Private Ryan with all women.
I have to cite Doug Benson and Doug Loves Movies for that joke.

I don’t find it any more humorous or interesting in comparison to other sitcoms of that era like Laverne & Shirley or Eight Is Enough. I’ve only seen the movie once, years and years ago, but I do recall it being better than the tv show.

Rev.Hoagie (6bbda7) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:41 pmI was not aware that Stashiu3 sent anybody to die anywhere. When did he become president?
Just to catch you up Ben burn. I retired after 24 years in the U.S. Army with both enlisted and commissioned service, and yes, I deployed. Over 20 years of Psych Nurse experience, which is why I know your remarks about mental illness are woefully ill-informed and meant only to be hateful.
Soldiers don’t decide which wars they go to, so I’m very proud of the many brave men and women I was lucky enough to serve with and treat. I did my best because I believe in the United States. That’s why I enlisted and stayed, not for a paycheck or CV-builder, but because we need to be the example the rest of the world tries to emulate.
So you can take your chickenhawk slur, type it out, fold it up until it is ALL sharp corners… the rest I leave as an exercise for the student.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:41 pmStashiu3,
Thank you for doing yeoman’s work in dealing with the troll. You’ve been missed and I’m glad you’re back.
It’s very entertaining reading your posts smacking around the troll who is too dimwitted to realize he’s hopelessly outclassed.
NJRob (75ed0c) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:42 pmRev.Hoagie,
I said a few kind words about GWB, along with a lot of criticism, but the kind words mean that it’s my fault soldiers died. His usual, completely uninformed, drivel.

I’m sure you wouldn’t lie to such an extent so I apologize for inferring your fakery, but would like some new culpa on Iraq.
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:50 pmJVW – there’s a group of longtime commenters here who I recognize as part of a tribe that I’m a member of, and I’m sufficiently tribal to be irked by outsiders attacking members of my tribe. JD and stashiu3 are both in that group. 🙂
Stashiu3, in particular, I can remember the particular conversation where he and I first seemed to acknowledge respect for each other, and that interaction leaves me particularly irked at misbehavior towards him, because in that conversation, he demonstrated a huge part of what I value in a conversational partner. 🙂
aphrael (e0cdc9) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:50 pmBen burn,
Lol. You don’t have a clue. Not even now.
Time for real life again. I’ll be back later to see if Ben burn has mustered the courage to straight out say he was wrong to accuse me of sockpuppeting or even implying I was a sockpuppet. I doubt he will, but strange things happen.
Clocking out. (lol, I may have to end every session online with that.)
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:51 pmMea culpa..
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:52 pmWhich?
You’re unhinged Rupert Pupkin..lol
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:53 pmSasha is tops. I can’t imagine what got into me to besmirch a living legend without cause. I am verklempt. 🙂
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 1:59 pmEveryone note the word “inferring” which is much different than “directly accusing” which is what he did. Also, the way this is phrased implies that I did engage in “fakery”. It’s also a conditional apology, not unconditional which is the only true apology. Finally, I have nothing to apologize for about Iraq. Despite his unwarranted assumptions and political phrasing, I believe we went into Iraq for the best reasons we knew at the time. He believes differently, but not having lived through it, I will (by his own rules) discount his take on the Iraq War completely.
In other words, he still hasn’t done it. Only tried to weasel-word his way through.
Now, I really have to clock out. Back later friends. And Ben burn.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/8/2018 @ 2:01 pmBen burn: your comments are curious, to me, because (much like happyfeet), when interacting with you, i don’t feel like i’m interacting with a real person who is here to *talk*. The way you engage suggests you are more interested in scoring points and implicitly showing your superiority to people than in getting to know them and communicate with them and, if you are lucky, persuade them.
I don’t understand that mindset or motivation, so I’m … not exactly verklempt, but certainly puzzled.
aphrael (e0cdc9) — 2/8/2018 @ 2:03 pmHow would confessing help out fish? Or maybe you mean confessing will put new bottoms on your shoes?

NJRob (75ed0c) — 2/8/2018 @ 2:46 pmRepublicans have used their control of government to virtually double the budget deficit, which had been hovering around half a trillion dollars per year, and will now likely run well over $1 trillion — during the peak of an economic expansion. There is no economic rationale for this behavior. Their policy is simply to support fiscal contraction under Democratic presidents and fiscal expansion under Republican ones. Cynicism is the only basis to explain their behavior.

Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/8/2018 @ 3:45 pmWest Wing staffers continue to wonder why Kelly would keep the Porter allegations from the president, and why he defended Porter so aggressively when presented with allegations by the Mail. Porter’s history with women had been known to Kelly for months, a source familiar with the matter said. (Porter has been working with a temporary security clearance because the allegations surfaced in an F.B.I. background interview.) According to a source, Kelly at first pushed back when White House officials wanted him to issue a second statement walking back his initial strong defense of Kelly. Kelly ultimately wrote that he was “shocked by the new allegations.”

(As is his hair, which appears to be preparing for its annual migration to the forests of Guatemala any day now.) The simple fact is that Rob Porter found a job in the White House that he could keep—for a while, anyway—despite what his bosses knew about his history of domestic violence, because his ultimate boss has faced plenty of his own accusations and ended up becoming the damn President* of the United States. The fish is a bully from the head down. The president* certainly had a lot to talk about with the other guests at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning.
And, yes, there was a mysteriously high number of Russians there, too.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 2/8/2018 @ 4:11 pmI am make Greek-American style potato. I tell you how.
I tell American part first. Am buy 28 oz bag of frozen “steak cut” potato.
Now for Greek part:
Start preheat oven to 425 F.
In baking pan pour maybe 2 ozs olive oil. Is need generous amount not thin film.
Then pour juice of half lemon. Maybe little more. Not too much because nothing in potato neutralize lemon and you taste sour when you eat. Potato funny that way.
Mix lemon juice and olive oil a little. Just tilt pan this way and that way and the other way is enough.
Put frozen steak cut potato in pan spread out.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, oregano and minced garlic on top of potato. Garlic powder is okay too. whole garlic not work as good.
Put in middle rack of oven.
Bake for half hour. That work in my oven. Maybe your oven take more or less.
Is hint for potato make potato not stick. After first fifteen minutes am stir potato little bit with spatula and shake pan back and forth little bit too.
Is good even rewarmed. Is why be careful Politburo not find out and send secret police take leftovers and maybe oven too.

Pinandpuller (e476ee) — 2/9/2018 @ 12:54 amLeviticus is a far better person than you could ever hope to be. The fact that you are a liar and coward keeps you from ever being taken seriously here. You’re fun to slap around, but that’s all. Nobody can ever take anything you say as truth because it’s just not in you. Even the most objective statement usually has some dishonest dig in it. You can’t help yourself.
7 years ago? Wow! Strong work Pinandpuller. Let me check something. 7/20/2006 was my first post here, best I can tell. It was (as most of you may have expected) as scold to a troll (named Actus, who became many others over time, including I believe, imdw)
He did not, however, give it up. Lol!

Please stop making comments about my health and disabilities. This is not about being thin-skinned or some kind of snowflake. I am asking nicely and I hope very clearly. They are unwanted and unnecessary. Any further disparaging remarks about my health or disabilities will be taken as harassment and reported to our host. Those two areas are very serious to me and you do not have permission to joke around about them.
Thank you.

“I was wrong to state you implied that you were sockpuppeting.” will suffice. No weasel-words.
Are you able to do that? Or are you completely incapable of being honest and admit you were wrong? We’ll see I guess.

Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:30 amWrong. I have never banned anyone here. Plus, I have only asked Patterico for a ban one time the entire time I have moderated. I could have put you in moderation yesterday at Leviticus’ request, but didn’t because being an annoying liar doesn’t usually qualify you for moderation.
I believe like Patterico that the remedy for bad speech is good speech. Moderation and banning is for extremes. You can call me a fascist, but that doesn’t make me one.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:31 amThen we’ll see if an apology to you can be pursued.

nk (dbc370) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:34 amOn second thought let me apologize if I accused you of being dishonest.
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:34 amI don’t want an apology from you. Do you have trouble comprehending that? It was the first sentence. You can go back and check. I never asked for an apology. Just a clear statement you were wrong.
You did lie then, and several times before that and in the short time since. You lied about me several times, even after knowing the truth (me being new for example.) I’m not going to bother linking them because that is just a distraction from the original point. You are a liar and nothing you say should be trusted at face value. It changes nothing.
The question is, do you have the integrity to admit you were wrong? So far, the answer is clear.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:38 amBTW, I block him. I only know what he has said when you guys engage him.
Yeah, you come to a comment thread and see a whole bunch of blanked-out comments from him and think, “Oh God, I’ll bet he is being his typical self again today.” But it’s kind of nice that you don’t have to read his garbage unless someone else quotes it in their post, which of course confirms that your suspicion about his unending obnoxiousness is confirmed.
JVW (42615e) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:40 amNot the point. Don’t know if you accused me of dishonesty per se, don’t care. Don’t want an apology. Admit you were wrong. Admit you were wrong about me implying I was a sockpuppet. Nothing more, nothing less.
You apparently can’t do that.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:41 amI didn’t know that, sorry. I’ll not quote him further, just the sig/date/time. Keep things tidy for ya! 😉
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:42 amWhere’s my apology?
Why don’t you go fish?
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:49 amYou clearly can’t do it.
I’m not apologizing for something that is true. I already said that and proved you were an intentional liar.
I’m wondering if it’s against the rules of your employment maybe? Is it written down?
Rule 17: Never admit being wrong. Violations of this policy can result in a written reprimand or immediate termination.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 8:52 amI didn’t know that, sorry. I’ll not quote him further, just the sig/date/time. Keep things tidy for ya!
Nah, don’t worry about that. Again, you are doing the Lord’s work in keeping him engaged here.

Under cover of last week’s feverish reaction to the FBI memorandum released by Rep. Devin Nunes, the Office of Government Ethics quietly dumped documents revealing a new low point in the agency’s 40-year history. In a letter signed Jan. 29th, but withheld from public view until the memo frenzy was peaking, the agency’s Trump-appointed acting director, David Apol, blessed a shockingly permissive arrangement for funneling cash to White House appointees and others linked to Trump.

You would think that he would deserve a fat demotion
Wants to move ahead but the boss don’t even know him

They let him spew just to watch ‘im mincing
He tries too hard to be convincing
But he got dreams they’ll never take away
He’s in the same boat with all his lot
Lotta smarts the poor schmuck don’t got
Hopes teh tide’s gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll his way
Typin’ 8 to 5, what a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
He will lose his mind and he’ll end up with bad credit
It’s enough to drive him crazier if he let it

Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 10:31 amAnything that required forgiveness was overcome by the way you engaged with my push back. 🙂 No thanks are needed; that engagement produced an enduring respect.
Are you familiar with the subreddit /r/asktrumpsupporters? It’s one of the few places online I’ve found where trump supporters and trump opponents can have respectful dialog with one another. It’s not perfect, AND it’s a great haven. 🙂

It’s an important thing to have an enforcement arm; I’ve watched communities get destroyed by an overwhelming wave of outsiders who couldn’t be trusted to abide by the rules, which experience taught me the value of enforcement. As an enforcer goes, stashiu3 has a very light touch.
aphrael (e0cdc9) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:01 amThen it’s a question of nuance
Okey dokey.

Chuck Bartowski (bc1c71) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:04 amYou must understand, Stashiu3 when comrade Ben! calls you a fascist he is only demonstrating his deep internalization of the leftist trait of projection. You know, like antifa calling themselves anti fascist by closing down free speech. I know, I know, but it somehow makes sense to them. And you’re a fascist to the comrade.

Traffic lights are fascistic.
Pinandpuller (8fcd5f) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:07 amFox News media analyst Howard Kurtz’s latest book—Media Madness: Donald Trump, The Press and the War Over the Truth—is inevitably prompting eye-rolling, if not raising hackles, among journalists he condemns, as he writes, for “target[ing] Trump with an unprecedented barrage of negative stories, with some no longer making much attempt to hide their contempt.”

Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:10 amTrumpkins hate the fascist label?
Why?
Ben burn (b3d5ab) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:11 amIf someone labeled you a kiddy-diddler, would you object? I mean, they threw it out there all the time, without a basis in fact (I am making the assumption you are not a kiddy-diddler and won’t ask you to try and prove a negative.)
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:39 amAnd please show where I made any threats towards you. I have specifically noted that you haven’t done anything to warrant moderation or banning, despite requests from others that I do so. Where are the threats Ben? hahaha
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:49 amThis is one of those kinds of things which, if a person admits it, they beleive him and if a person denies it they do not beleive him
The accusation must be rendered absurd indirectly.
Sammy Finkelman (02a146) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:57 am20° F: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves and wool hats
That part’s wrong. We put on the heavy coats, gloves and hats when the temp gets under 60. The thermal underwear comes out when the temps get into the 40s. But only if you have them. Through online ordering. The stores around here don’t see thermal underwear.
(No. I’m not joking there. But that’s why we put up with hurricanes. It’s 80 out now and I’m wearing a tee-shirt, with the a/c on for a couple of hours….)
And Dwayne Wade is back, so all’s well with the world.
kishnevi (bb03e6) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:57 amExactly Sammy, thank you.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 11:58 amkishnevi,
When I was at Tripler in Hawaii we had the same problem. Although, we already had all the cold weather gear you could need. I grew up in Michigan and I never knew where the Army might send me, so keeping that stuff handy for just in case made sense. Never used it there though. Even Diamondhead or the volcanoes on the Big Island weren’t big enough to get cold at the top.
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 12:02 pmwe had the same problem.
I’m not sure I’d call it a problem 🙂
kishnevi (bb03e6) — 2/9/2018 @ 12:05 pmFair point, well made. 🙂
Stashiu3 (466cdf) — 2/9/2018 @ 12:09 pmMy brother was stationed at Tripler for a while. I went to visit him while he was there, which was *not* the Hawai’i tourist experience everyone dreams of.
It’s amazing how much the building dominates the landscape.
aphrael (e0cdc9) — 2/9/2018 @ 2:30 pmaphrael,
If you call it “The Big Pink Monster” while inside the medical center, it’s likely an administrator will correct you and tell you “It’s coral, not pink.” Lol.
The locals and many of the homeless VA Beneficiaries call it “Crippler” a lot. As my first assignment after commissioning and OBC, Hawaii was great. One child and one born there soon after we arrived, so my wife and kids spent most days at the beach or the Hale Koa Hotel (a military hotel where anyone with military ID could lounge, including dependents.)
