I've been seeing the 'your police department has been ordered to stand down, Join ICE instead' about once a game during any given sporting event I've watched over the past couple of weeks. But now I've seen it at least 3 or 4 times just in the 1st half of the Va Tech NC State game.

E X Torts: It's in the game!

I think tennis would be way better if they had a Condiment Race.

lol I think Chesty knew he was taking the piss mostly and 50/50 on whether Olds decides to start a podcast or just follows a bunch of OF accounts, but yeah Patton is absolutely writing 10,000 character poasts on The Nature And Character Of War And The Warrior on the everything app

I would have guessed a video format that was backwards compatible with old RealMedia codecs, but apparently that's not it.

Well don't I feel stupid

We're now past a complete lifecycle for some of the Starbucks that were not even present in this song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T1R...

Bro reinvented break dancing.

Heartwarming! We got 1000 of this kid’s closest friends who were deployed overseas to surprise him for his birthday!

Ha, I'm in this photo.

Best bit since one of the guys at Cracked After Hours pretended not to know who Mon Mothma was.

Minutes from the Council of Nicea, 325 AD.

I wonder what is the moral principle behind continuing to preempt Kimmel's late night show but showing him in prime time on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Bunch of Guard(?) personnel offloading their gear at the Ballston Holliday Inn

Ok, Capital Weather Gang, I cannot enjoy pumpkin spice season in a tropical rain forest. Get on that, will you?

CHOTINER: And you thought it would be funny to do a fake interview by me? ME: A lot of people have, so CHOTINER: You were looking for engagement? ME: Well, to make someone laugh I guess CHOTINER: How many likes and reposts did it get? ME: That's, uh, not really the metric...look can we start over

I mean, the thing that still gets me about Butler Pa, is how long the Secret Service took to get him out of the clear line of sight of just about everyone there.

It's unclear to me what the actual status of Kimmel's show tonight on DC's ABC affiliate WJLA. (Owned by Sinclair) the Fios channel guide has it airing in the expected scheduled spot.

Gee, without DACOWITS what is the Eagle Forum going to do with all their free time.

Ruin a band with law The Highway Patrolmen.

whereas I'm like "listen, the problem with being the world police is that we chose the wrong fights"

look you can spit in my face if you want to. it's a free country. but i ain't gonna thank you for the water

The flip side is that if municipal police departments are emptied of personnel who would respond to this ad, that's probably a net benefit to those police departments.

Okay, timeline cleanse, here are some Halloween decorations First up, my doormat

Is my calendar off or is Inf Dort's? It's not Time of Game Theory for at least another 45 days by my reckoning.

I know a lot of people don't like to AI slop reposted, but when it's this unhinged and unintentionally hilarious, I gotta do it.

Legend has it that Jimmy Hoffa's funeral also cemented his movement.

Just saw that ICE commercial that I had seen on hear aired in Chicago but with 'Attention police of the DMV' substituted in.

This leads, of course, to an interesting alternative theory of why Ezra Klein was so defensive of Charlie Kirk

$10b is way undercutting it

We’d need to clear airspace through Pakistan again or go through the caucus to Uzbekistan, both of whom we’ll need to pay off to use. Then we’ll need to move stuff into the region from somewhere, so we’ll need to rotate to fill those gaps or build/buy more, plus logistics tail once they’re there

Let’s start with the actual moving platforms in which will require staff and contractors to rebuild/build shelters,coms, habitation. Of course you gotta secure it so that’s either paying the Talibs which would be cheaper or moving our folks in which you’ll have to feed which will require airlift

I love the “not at any cost” they throw in here to see reasonable and sophisticated. Like yeah dawg sure let’s lowball this for $10b to get running and secure for almost no gain and now a much more thinly spread force posture with limited strike capacity at significant expense, that reasonable?

The English officer who gave me my ISAF indoc said "we're 0-3-1 here" referring to UK's history in the region.

I wonder if anyone on the WaPo editorial board has ever heard the term 'self licking ice cream cone'

This is happens when your enterprise no longer has a substantial physical product as output and so has lost most all institutional knowledge about logistics.

OH MY UCF

I'm one of the Remf-iest Remfs that ever Remfed, but I don't think I ever heard people say that Bagram wasn't a real deployment. Now, Kuwait? People said Kuwait wasn't a real deployment all all the time. And those people were right. And eventually the Army thought so too.

And now gratuity doesn’t count as bribery either. IMHO, the worst recent jurisprudence is around bribery. Basically anything short of someone saying “This is a bribe” is ok with the Supreme Court. Which, not exactly beating the allegations of the justices being corrupt AF

Ok, I'm not a lawyer. Nor am I a Merrick Garland apologist. (that's someone else's job. Tho tbf, she's usually right) Anyway, w/ that throat clearing. 1) it would be unusual for the DOJ/FBI to publicize an ongoing investigation 2) the Supreme Court has made it tough as hell to prosecute bribery

For a long time, I was of the opinion that whenever one of Trump's more harebrained ideas made it into the light, outside his riffs with the press, it's because the staff hated him and so were totally willing to make him look bad...

“No one needed all these fidget toys back in our day!” Explain these then:
