I’m a big guy and the burger king whopper Jr meal was my go to when I worked near one.

Certain missing police tapes are a good example. Why can they keep the school tapes from the people? Surely the suspect is dead.

Anwar al-Awlaki. Most things that I’m seeing about him are that he is the first US citizen targeted by a drone strike but I remember it being a big deal that he was the first US citizen assassinated at all.

And as much as I liked President Obama, he did set the precedent by targeting and killing a (bad) US citizen.

These are the people who attacked America on 9/11. They agreed to help Bush in his war so we didn’t attack them.

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say that the US worked with them closely before 9/11 and then enacted pre-written legislation immediately after the attack that our intelligence agencies knew was coming. Everybody in the middle was doing their job but our senior representatives never acted on the intelligence that was available. So now Saudi gets special treatment.

Good! They saved me when I was charged for an ER visit. I’m a veteran so they legally have to charge the government. That didn’t stop equafax from ruining my credit despite my legally correct explanation. The consumer financial protection bureau put them in their place and I’m back to perfect credit.

He is doing 57 months because he is serving for multiple crimes simultaneously.

Police who violate the law should not be allowed anything but the maximum sentence non-concurrent with other crimes.

But cops protect those who have power and those who have power. Don’t want to piss off the cops so here we are.

You and I just may have different opinions about how the government works at the senior levels.

Sincerely,

A retired career federal employee.

The laws that the EPA has to follow and the people controlling it are who I am referring to. Politicians are taking money to prevent lifelong EPA employees from saving our lives.

Or paid their bosses (congress) a surprisingly small amount of money (bribes (“lobbying”)).

Charging cables? I need to upgrade my calipers. Lol

Being a retired soldier my perspective is thus: the winners that are writing the history books aren’t necessarily the winners, but those who killed the most.

Often those who deviate from the laws of war in order to cheat and win in horrific ways then get to write about the other side being the bad guys…

Those cucumber farmers in Iraq sure didn’t seem like the Al-Qaeda/ isis that I was told they were. Afghanistan was similar. Nobody was the hero involved in that.

You are speaking to my soul. I’m the type of guy that prints out a blank spreadsheet to track my workouts. I’m also the type that doesn’t go to the gym. Lol. I need to just start showing up.

Funny! In America it is against our constitution but we allow the NSA to do it because when we protest we get killed, arrested or our lives ruined.

I protested the illegal separation and detention of children at the border. It was literal torture. The government later found that their own actions were illegal. In the meantime, I was arrested and beaten and on bail conditions for over 6 months before being found not guilty. The officers who beat me were given immunity. They decided not to keep the tapes at the facility after we requested they keep them because of the assault.

I am a disabled veteran and was a career federal employee.

This is America.

Thank you! Other platforms are so astroturfed that this fact is often covered up with accusations of sexism. The fact is that ever poll at the time said that everyone could beat Trump except for her. She was political poison and her and the DNC cheated to make her the candidate which scared off even more voters. She is the reason we suffered as a country, not the supposed savior!

Thank you. I have so many engrained habits from Reddit that I’m not using Lemmy to its potential.
