Invading Afghanistan was necessary. Sticking around for 17 years afterwards trying to make a real country out of that den of vipers was not. It should have been "go in, smack around al Qaeda and the Taliban, leave." (Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the Afghanis. I have a grudging respect for them. But they've been tribal nomads for 5000 years, and they're not embracing Western Liberal Democracy any time within the next 5000 years either.)

They just get hired back as contractors for twice the cost.

***** WHAT??? The Democrats explicitly denied the creed of "American Exceptionalism" for the past ten years!

She's not smart enough to be as evil as Hillary. -

Are we supposed to have a problem with this? It's better than watching Maxine Waters do anything... -
Of course they are. They have college degrees. Four years at West Point or Annapolis is far better experience than 15 years doing the job...

The Media's Portrayal of Trump and His Presidency

No, but as they were reporting on the storm, it was a "direct result of their journalistic work." They really ought to change their measure to "imprisoned or executed," not just "killed." It'll eliminate the regions which are dangerous because they're dangerous to anyone (e.g. Syria,) and eliminate tying it to a specific definition of identity in favor of a definition of activity. Which is why they won't do it, because it's detrimental to their identity definition, which is the whole point of their work. -
The Colosseum. There is only one "The" Colosseum, and you know goddamn well which one it is, dipshit.

He could have just as easily called you antiperspirant, and it would have meant just as much.

You wouldn't be a congenital idiot if you knew what it meant...

The Mizzou/Yale/PC/Free Speech Topic

One thing I noticed about the reviews for Bohemian Rhapsody listed on Rotten Tomato: there was a significant subset of "professional" reviewers, largely social media driven, who gave the movie negative reviews based on a judgement of the movie being "not gay enough." Probably the same reviewers writing the above, believing that to be good a movie must espouse a currently positive social justice viewpoint. The same people who complain All in the Family is racist, completely missing that the point wasn't Archie Bunker's racism, but Archie Bunker's racism juxtaposed against a changing social environment. Same with the Freddie Mercury portrayed in Bohemian Rhapsody, I presume the same with Eastwood's character in Mule (who I just assume is the same as his character in Gran Torino). -
It's The_Dude. But if you feel left out...you're a congenital idiot, too.

Yep. But note that the original poster is a known congenital idiot.

No. Just emotionally. -
You didn't. He's making the point that you don't know *****, because "the video doesn't show" is a piss-poor basis for an affirmative judgement.

Would have been cleaner as simply "The circumference is two R pi." -
So why wasn't it collusion and treason when Obama abandoned Syria to the Russians?
-
No, next level would be hiring James Taylor to sing "You've Got a Friend" to Putin. Or having George Thorogood to sing "One Bourbon, One Shot, One Beer" to Ocasio-Cortez

. Jesus. Why would you take EII this seriously? "But they all died quickly, so it wasn't a big deal. And you only think I'm an idiot because you're a Zionist." No, I think you're an idiot because you're an idiot. I'm also recalling now the last time we talked about your antisemitism, and how I noted you're named after a Nazi general.

As opposed to the brilliant "Jews were the al Qaeda of Rome" Dippus Shittus Maximus posted above?
