What did we learn today?

Recommended Posts

Before going into a McDonald's drive through and ordering McNuggets and Fries you need to make sure you aren't on the top 10 most wanted list. Apparently McDonald's employees go all CIA on your ass and bring in the popo for a $50K reward. Guess he should have went to a Burger King where he could have had his way. He needed to get got but to be taken out by Mayor McCheese and Officer Big Mac, that's just plain karma. Oh and if you hear the window tell you it's gonna be a few minutes on your fries, RUN!

What the hell did I miss? ... My news is talking about trying to kill death row inmates in a rapid manner. Something with some kind of drug not being humane enough. Mental stress on officers from killing so many so fast.

 

Edit: Just read it. Steve Stephans.

 

You know. That whole incident doesn't make any freaking sense at all. It's like ... why? Doing a crime is dumb anyway (for the most part). Usually you try to ... avoid anything that will tie directly to you. Filming yourself while doing it ... that's worse than when a rapper snitches on himself in his rap album.

Things we learned today ...

 

Mr. President your "armada" can't be in the Sea of Japan when the last "official orders" they received had it sailing through the Indian Ocean on their way to train with the Australian's.

 

Ownership matters. It's not "YOUR" anything let's remember that. Those vessels are the sovereign property of the United States of America they represent "OUR" interests where ever they are deployed.

 

If you're going to saber rattle with other countries have your really big stuff in order otherwise you might look silly and it won't be beautiful.

 

Is armada even still a word? Mr. President you need to learn to talk more better. Words like armada downplay and sound far less impressive than the "Pacific Fleet Carrier Strike Group led by the USS Carl Vinson". I'm sure the men and women serving aboard those vessels deserve and would appreciate the proper recognition.

Dunno, to a European ear "Armada" still resonates. On the other hand "Pacific Fleet Carrier Strike Group" kinda sounds like trying to pad out a CV*, Battle Group or Carrier Group would suffice 
 
What did we learn in the UK, Brexit rocked the boat a bit... so lets bring the general election forward three years potentially changing the government entirely mere weeks after triggering Article 50... shifting sands doesn't begin to cover it...

*The employment kind... not the CVBG kind :P

Yeah when I hear (or read) Armada I envision hundreds of vessels moving toward a target....but that's just me.

He misspoke. I believe he meant "flotilla". Or was it "division"?

Posted this on my blog

If so many people’s lives weren’t at stake, the recent standoff between “Fatboy Korea,” whatever his name is, and “Golf and Cake” POTUS, would be pretty funny.

 

First, we had Jong-un’s failure to launch, an issue I’m pretty sure crops up often in his life. I felt his pain. You’re almost there, about to prove to everyone how big and bad you are, and then…

… that embarrassing moment when things just don’t work, and everyone nervously giggles and assures you that it’s okay, you’ll do it right next time.

 

Second, we had the Donald and his big Armada. What is it with size and this guy? I have to admit that a carrier air group packs a lot of firepower, and our naval personnel are top notch at what they do, but Armada? We haven’t used that word since we studied the Spanish Armada in Junior High School. And what “Big Boy” failed to mention was that the Carl Vinson and its escorts are 3000 nautical miles from Korea on a war games in conjunction with the Australian Navy, another first rate naval presence in the Pacific.

 

What was the intent here? To be able to jump up in the oval office and yell “Psyche!” And what about “Chub Boy Slim,” what does he really intend to do with a Nuke? Fondle it? If he ever used it (and from the missile tests, I’d hate to be the scientists trying to build him one: incineration anyone?) all the nuclear nations of the world would line up to nuke his ass, like the famous scene from the movie Airplane, when the nun goes crazy.

 

So what we have here is two basically impotent nerds threatening each other and using us as pawns in the confrontation.

Lame.
