Things not going well in Venezuela
Ok, now that I have calmed down, I'll leave my part of this at this: I'm not a congressman, but I voted for one who was all gung ho to get after Iraq. I was also gung ho to get in there and kick their asses. Since I voted for and supported him, I am partially responsible for his actions on Iraq. The voters bear the ultimate responsibility for those whom they choose to make policy and lead. I figured out that this was a grave error even before Baghdad fell. I watched on the news as a Marine unit left a major Republican Guard base that they had just overrun. They didn't blow up or disable the arms and ammo they found there, and they didn't leave even a corporal's guard to watch over it. Just left it for someone else. I know this because a Marine officer that they were interviewing told the reporters and the watching world that they were doing so. That someone else was the insurgents, and they made use of those arms and ammo on many young Americans. Maybe even you. I have felt awful about that since then, because I voted for and supported the invasion that was being so stupidly run. I soon came to see that it was stupid from the beginning, and that I shouldn't have supported it. I appreciate you and your service more than you know, or probably believe. You did everything that was asked of you, and that is admirable and honorable. I'd love to have a beer with you and swap sea stories. My point, so coarsely and inelegantly made, is that you should not have been asked to do that, and I share responsibility for the asking. I now refuse to ask it of anyone else for such flimsy reasons. I've seen too many times where terrible things were justified by hoped for good results, only to just be terrible. You go have the best life possible. I wish you wisdom, prosperity, and peace. Semper Fidelis.

No, you spastic monumental fuck up, I am not bleeding all over about Maduro. He's out of power and unable to continue with his illegal and immoral oppression of his people. I'm ok with that. But the manner in which it was done is wrong. I am refusing to back another illegal, immoral, stupid excuse to send young American men and women to die and be maimed while killing and maiming Venezuelans so that oil companies and American oligarchs can make money. Money which you and I will never see and will bring us no benefit whatsoever. Two wrongs don't make a right, dumbfuck. I wish that I had understood this in time to not back sending you to Iraq, also for illegal and immoral reasons.

Where the fuck did I say that? When this plays out the way these "adventures" always do, the Venezuelan people will bear the brunt of the human costs of their "liberation". Trump, and you, do not give one shit about the Venezuelan people. Folks like you are why people think that Marines like me eat crayons.

Some of us judge Al Capone by his murders and rackets, not the soup kitchens that he also funded. "Taking the good with the bad" will not include me supporting trump's illegal and immoral actions, no matter what benefits might come from them.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Perfect alignment of post and avatar. Personally, I hate the little end of those that gets stuck in a seam or hem and you don't know it until you're wearing the garment and wonder what bug is biting you.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
According to my wife, they make splendid places to drape clothes that one does not wish to put away properly. That is why the only exercise equipment in our home is a small set of dumbells. Dammit, beat by @Foosters.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
The lack of trump signs, flags, and shit is not from any regret or recognition of fault. They, the hard core magats, see the political reality heading into the midterms and think that they are going to have to take violent action to "keep America on the right track" or some similar shit. They don't want to be obvious suspects when the shit that they expect, and want to participate in, starts.

Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
To an aggy, anyone who doesn't worship aggy hates aggy. They do not believe that anyone can view them neutrally and impassionatly. One must either be with them or against them.
