If you train a bunch of guys to believe they are the most vicious fuckers around it's not too surprising they start identifying with the most vicious fuckers. Also the United States is a white supremacist state and is the reason why denazification stalled out in Europe.

i don't know how to explain to people that the reason it's common for marines to do this stuff is because it's common for marines to like nazis

I'm definitely not crying from watching the video in this post, the intro, and Vajra's acceptance speech. Nope! Not crying.

Y'all still discoursing about the latest Milkshake Duck? That's cool. American politics is always completely depressing. Find someone else (literally anybody) to primary against Skeletor or whoever it is he was running against.

Behold: Republican permitting reform.

The White House photographed from the driveway between it and the Treasury building, with the facade of the East Wing gutted. I don’t think the caretakers of the property pulled all the proper permits before starting work!
