I'd say that's the clearest signal from him yet that he has zero intention of signing a single thing that comes across his desk for the next two years. Miller is the guy you put in when you realize it's suddenly time to hide all the bodies, rip all the copper out of the walls, and plant a few IEDs for the next guy to find as you lock the door behind you and break the keys, plain and simple.

    She could never decide if her job was to lick federal boots or to represent the interests of her voters. As a GOP rep, we have plenty of examples that you can get away with doing either just fine, but not with constantly flopping between the two.

    Democrats should not expect future hand-outs like from their voters, unless they actually, for once, dear god, do something useful with the power we just handed them.

    Well at least you've retrenched from this is "manufacturing evidence" to this "implies" something. Which in no way are the same thing. I agree with you that it vaguely implies something about our Navy assets and sailors being worked too hard during this war, which is certainly a fair point for discussion, but that wasn't your original argument in any way. So from a motte and bailey fallacy perspective I feel good about that progress. Also a pretty bold move calling your own wall of text on the matter "all the context" but that's rather beside the point.

    This better not be real. Then again there was a girl in high school who was extremely into the idea that she was Trinity from the Matrix and I was her Neo. And I don't mean in a cute way, I mean in a genuinely concerning blurring of reality and fiction way.

    I don't see what factual argument is being made in ANY of the three layers of this meme. Or how Trump is mentioned or involved at all. "The ship has arrived at port" with a photo of the ship. Surely your issue isn't with that. "My God, the state of that ship" is not a factual assertion of anything, except that the ship externally looks pretty rough in that photo after that long deployment. And "A passenger on the titanic had a better experience" is is obviously not an earnest assertion of fact either, it's a joke. Sinking into the freezing Atlantic and 2/3rds of them dying is not meant as some serious comparison to serving on a Navy vessel for a long deployment, it's humor. Nothing is being asserted in these memes, nothing even vaguely related to Trump is mentioned, and I'd love to hear your argument for how any of the text or images here are rising to the alarmist level of "manufacturing evidence"

    Imagine this was a photo of a WWII bomber returning home after a long and hard deployment, you wouldn't interpret someone saying "wow that bomber looks beat to shit" as some kind of misinformation or assertion of fact or personal attack on President Roosevelt would you?

    Gee what's it called when corporations and the government are welded together in a power block that controls everything about the nation? Help me out here guys I forget.

    Well add him to the long list of rats who think they feel the MAGA ship sinking the last few months. If I thought Milo capable of anything except acting in his own craven self-interest I might even be a bit proud of him.
