The Guardian describes the late John McCain as a "war hero". As a pilot in Vietnam, McCain cravenly bombed a mostly undefended country of civilians. When he was skilfully brought down, his life was saved by the very people he was trying to harm. A true American plastic hero.

good documentation is the surest sign of a programmer's skill

It’s astounding how obsessed white Americans are with the idea North Koreans are especially “brainwashed” when they live in a country where people fly the US flag over donut shops, don’t believe in climate change and unquestioningly support military, prison & police expansionhttps://twitter.com/Shznakl/status/1029590076169150465 …

I don't want lower taxes, I want my taxes well spent. Don't cut taxes, use it as an excuse to cut services and do it in my name. I don't mind paying for the lifestyle we enjoy. And to help others.

Kids in Jail: “We have to fight a forest fire?” Cali: “Yes.” KIJ: “Can we get a job as a firefighter when we get out?” Cali: “No, you’re a felon.” KIJ: “Will we be well compensated for putting our lives at risk.” Cali: “LMFAO NO, but we will brag about this on twitter.”https://twitter.com/CACorrections/status/1024439641221419008 …
