The commander of the base wrote, "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base." in an email and was thus dismissed. In dismissing her, the Pentagon stated this reason. "Actions [that] undermine the chain of command or to subvert President [Donald] Trump's agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense."

Because a military operated solely by loyal incompetents has worked out so well for Russia.

Not relevant to the headline, but why the fuck would greenland want independence? Unless they are excited for digging up their entire country (which I would assume they don't want as they like the landscape as it is afaik), they are completely reliant on danish funding.

Not to mention completely defenseless at the worst possible time.

She is a patriot. Col Susannah Meyers deserves a medal, and I'm sure she would do 10,000x better as VP than the jerk we have now.

Vance seems smart, and obviously he married outside his "race" so somewhat open-minded. Which means he is acting out of pure conscienceless ambition. IMO worse than Trump, who is an evil idiot.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe he married outside of his race because she's a hot piece of ass and out of his league and he didn't put much more consideration into it than that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

If he was actually bothered by race Vance wouldn't find her attractive.

he even has a degree in philosophy…
and trump isn’t an idiot, he just plays the idiot so idiots will vote for him… just like george dubya bush…
i mean, he’s not very smart or as smart as he thinks he is, but he’s not as stupid as he seems

Maybe that claim would hold water if there was any evidence at all that Trump wasn't a brain damaged idiot spiraling into senility. It stops being pretending when every single appearance, every interview, every second of contact, every policy enacted, every opinion presented, and every decision made are all exactly what a complete idiot would do. He's not playing 4D Chess, he doesn't have some secret master plan, he's a pants shitting moron who's hateful rhetoric and willingness to punch down appealed to the low end of the bell curve and got them excited enough to vote.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

He's a certified idiot

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah gotta disagree with you there. Trump is senile and baseline average at best.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The way he talks, looks, acts. I'm pretty sure he's an idiot.

Honestly, I feel like we’re one press conference away from someone calling artificial intelligence “Adobe Illustrator.
