Seems fine on the face of it, a vet would be better trained than a standard medic, and probably better at the kind of quick and dirty “make it work” combat care that you need to get back to a full surgeon. Improvising tools for non-standard uses is kind of their whole bread and butter, and patching up a bullet hole is the same regardless of if its in a dog or a person, at least for first-touch care.

The biggest issue I see is that the Army already has trouble getting good, well trained people, and they want to add more attempts?

So Trump decided to hold the funds to try and force the governor to let somebody who tried to help him rig the election out of jail so they could do it again?

That will pay for cleanup of like, 5 whole acres

This is what republicans mean by “protecting women”

She… she plead guilty.

So probably not guilty then

So… 1, 0.99, very high likelihood.

Trumps DOJ targeted her, and she pled guilty.

Both of those things tell me she is very likely not guilty.

This isn’t like an accused street criminal getting basically conned into pleading guilty because the cops planted evidence and got a false witness to make a false testimony.

This is the known to be corrupt FBI (under trump) going after somebody who looks different, for a bogeyman crime that we know they dont actually care about.

This is a person who would not be targeted by that kind of thing and can afford good lawyers.

The DOJ has been very specifically targeting exactly that kind of person. And Republicans dont care about lawyers because they dont care about the law.

She was the mayor.

ok?

So what are the chances she was actually an agent for the Chinese Government? Slightly better than 0? Actually 0?

you have to register as such with the US government.

You very clearly don’t, you just have to be working for Russia and its fine.

Fucking yeah I sure hope so. Even the scum of the earth like this deserve due process

Due process involves discovery, where the full unredacted documents would have been turned over…

Due process doesn’t mean you can just refuse to follow the law.

Im sure that will last a whole 5 minutes

I don’t know if those claims hold water.

uh huh, im sure you dont.

Who is assaulting people associated with the SPLC again?

The federal government, who have demonstrated that they are downright eager to harrass, assault and/or execute anybody who isnt particularly fond of Nazis the KKK or christofascists in general (or anybody who embarrasses them in any way).

And the costs associated with litigation are largely attorney’s fees…

Sure, which the SPLC now has to spend defending itself against spurious lawsuits instead of helping people.

The Fed doesnt care about the cost, they can make taxpayers pay for it. They dont care if they win or lose, winning or losing isnt the point (although the courts may be corrupt enough anyways).

Thats not the point.

The point is that the DOJ now sends a bunch of people to harass and assault anybody associated with the SPLC. Doesnt matter if the DOJ looses, they dont care about that, just dragging the case out to cost the SPLC money.

You dont need standards when the goal isnt to hire competent people.

They are just looking for sycophant’s, as long as you have no idea what the laws say but you can blame “demonrats” for whatever problems conservatives cause, you are exactly what they are looking for.

If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized.

Sorry, cheering for political violence is just normal now. The right has been pushing and supporting political violence so hard that its…just not radical anymore.

Sure, this time it might not have been somebody on the right, but it doesn’t really matter. Once political violence becomes normal, it becomes normal.

Some people get so caught up in “defeating the bad guy,” that they completely lose sight of the harm they are facilitating. At some point you have to ask yourself, “is this about winning or about saving lives?”

I don’t think anybody ever believed that the war was about saving lives.

I doubt if Republicans even want to win.

Republicans want to distract people from how Republicans are all defending serial child rapists, and want to drive up the debt in order to destabilize America.

Wait, you mean the proudly corrupt conservative government is being corrupt on a betting platform while callously playing with the lives of the American soldiers they have so much contempt for?

Im shocked, shocked I tell you

Furure sociologists are going to be spending entire careers trying to sort out how the US went so badly wrong.

Not really, we already know how the Nazis went so badly wrong, and the US is following basically the same path. The very wealthy are causing a massive redistribution of wealth, and using propaganda to convince Christians that its all somebody elses fault.

They are using that farmed hatred to drive Christians into fascism

Its the same playbook, and we already know how it works.
