He should have said "grabasstic piece of amphibian sh1t" instead

Kerry says US “paid a price” for not enforcing Obama’s Red Line in Syria...

Https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kerry ... d=56335996

Thousands of Syrians really paid a price, don’t ya think...

I hate to say it, but I wonder if maybe the Neocons who were calling for intervention in Syria in 2012 and 2013 had a point. That war basically created a refugee crisis that is wreaking havoc on the politics in Europe.

It appears that Sweden is about to take a right turn...

The military has been heading in this direction for a long time

Promotions to general officer over the last decade have been largely disgraceful... the good ones mostly retired, with a few exceptions

The world needs ditch diggers too.

Great story. This quote is spot on...

Owens went on to say that he hopes his experience will reshape “what it means to work, the honor of the working person, [and] the dignity of work.”

“I hope that this period that we’re in now, where we have a heightened sensitivity about that, and a reevaluation of what it means to work and the idea that some jobs are better than others — that’s actually not true,” he said. “There is no job that’s better than another job. It might pay better, it might have better benefits, it might look better on a resume and on paper. But actually, it’s not better. Every job is worthwhile and valuable.”
