There is a woman in the UK, Bonnie Blue, who had sex with 1,000 men in day. Her exploit now seems more commendable in that no one died.

She’s the secret FBI agent and she saved us all.

People who say “I would kill 1000 randos or 1 million apes to save my family” are so silly. When would you ever find yourself in that situation?

Also, it’s embarrassing to jack yourself off about your own (entirely imagined btw) bravery in public. Cultivate humility.

TO COMPLETION. That’s the rub, so to speak. Some women go gaga over going down. Some women are “that feels nice”. And some are “ain’t happening, Fuck me”, no matter how good you (I) are (am) at it.

I don’t know where the O’Keefe Group stands, but if you go far enough right they do hate Trump again! Usually over not being antisemitic and/or racist enough.

“Secretary of War” was what the position was called from 1789 to 1947, so while it’s a noteworthy change, it’s not unprecedented.

Presumably they changed it for a reason, no? Glorifying war is strange, but given this is Trump, Mr Bone Spurs, it's pure Projection. Also, Congress has to officially change the name, I saw somewhere they had to admit it's not an official name change. So it's a fun nickname instead, while spending money to change all the various signs.

Plus, the first change was by the people who won WWII.

“Presumably they changed it for a reason, no?”

That would be the “noteworthy” part of “noteworthy but not unprecedented.”

I do think it's better in that it's less euphemistic, but they didn't change it to be more straightfoward. They did it because they fetishize war and violence.

It's because the Trump Admin is a boys club filled with 12 year olds who think "Secretary of War" sounds cool and badass and "Secretary of Defense" sounds lame and beta.

I didn’t say they changed it to be more straightforward. A lot of people are under the impression that the Trump administration created the term Secretary of War, and I wanted to point out that they didn’t.

As long as we’re going back, let’s remove “In God We Trust” and “Under God”

I am fine with the Secretary of War title, though I did chuckle when I read about it. That's what it was always called though, and I think it's a less euphemistic title. Not coded good or bad for me.

I'm sure that tons of people who don't have kids would gladly and very nobly sacrifice their children for the 1,000+ people who just died in a landslide in Sudan. Just as gladly as they'd pay 90% taxes on a much higher income they don't earn.

EDIT: It's the person who would sacrifice their child in such a cause that you have to worry about. I recently read again about how when Mao learned that his own son had died on the front in the Korean War in the early 1950s, his first remark was "How can there be no deaths in war?" Sign of a psychopath (though he'd shown many other signs before this).

Great point. In fact, the 1000+ deaths wouldn't even have to be in Sudan. They could be in whatever town you live in and the same principle would hold.

Those "I would kill 1,000 people to save my family" dudes annoy me. It's a way to sound like a trad tough guy to #RETVRN morons on social media, but it's not something that is ever going to actually happen in your real life. The very definition of cheap talk.

The reality is, you have no idea whether, or how much, you would kill to save your family and neither does anyone else who lives in a peaceful, developed country because any situation in which you may need to do that is so alien to you. Change some fucking diapers and get back to me.

Yeah exactly, all it does is show off that these guys are having fantasies about killing people to prove their masculinity, which is... weird. It's just like those "come and take it" guys who are like "oh I WISH someone would come and try to take my guns" or "I DARE someone to trespass on my property". Like my dude, you shouldn't be fantasizing and getting excited about the possibility of getting to shoot someone.

I mean, the government did just talk about taking away a bunch of people's guns based on demographic characteristics. These people are unlikely to be directly affected by that kind of targeting, but everyone is at risk if the government starts to decide that it should control who is allowed to defend themselves.

Dude, who are these parents with mini Gordon Ramseys for kids. Like do kids even know the difference between fresh and reheated ? When I was a kid I would just scarf down whatever my mom gave me to eat when I got home from playing. And then I would study for an hour before falling asleep. Sometimes at my desk. The only tyranny I committed was almost never doing my homework!

My first thought wasn't that they would be able to tell the difference, but that reheating food instead of giving them fresh food could somehow be dangerous.

I don’t get this reheated food is dangerously nonsense. Eskimos have been freezing food for centuries, the rest of us now have this tech thanks to science and it’s already the vaccine (meaning it’s strongly opposed without scientific basis) of food tech?!

I actually do buy that trump would snitch to avoid prosecution. Solid defense there.

Snitches are people on the inside, generally. So unless he had literally just found out about Epstein's crimes when the FBI approached him, that would suggest that he was personally involved.

Pete Hegeseth sounds way more like secretary of gender war or secretary of war considering his sheer incompetence while obsessing with ideas like “women should not vote”

"I would kill a thousand people for my child" guys never think about the obvious question -- does your child want a mass murderer for a dad? The answer is no.
