Texas congressman won’t stop wearing combat Infantryman Badge that was revoked (www.military.com)

More than a month after a news report revealed that the Combat Infantryman Badge Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, wears on his lapel was revoked since he was never eligible for the award to begin with, the congressman refuses to take the pin off....

the_crotch,

Good? I don’t think it’s good that you can go to jail for a year for wearing a colorful ribbon

the_crotch,

Is it though? I can claim to be Jesus Christ or sporty spice or Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I can even dress like them. That by itself doesn’t get me thrown in jail.

the_crotch,

Only if you claim to be a cop. Per federal law, you can wear one for fun if you want

It is a defense to the prosecution under this section if the badge is used or intended to be used for exclusively— (1) as a memento, or in a collection or exhibit; (2) for decorative purposes; (3) for a dramatic presentation, such as a theater, film, or television production; or (4) **for any other recreational purpose. **

the_crotch,

Believe it or not they teach that at Harvard business school (it’s an elective but it still counts)

the_crotch,

I liked this story better the first time, when it was called Moses

the_crotch,

It does close the charging port, which one would think should be closed anyway when the car is running

the_crotch,

Those people were protesting that they weren’t allowed to sit at lunch counters. These people are not protesting the color of Stonehenge.

the_crotch,

You have to disable auto reboot on bsod

the_crotch,

Most users don’t want to immediately troubleshoot every error, they want to get back to work. The ones that do know how to find it in event viewer or the crash dumps or disable auto reboot on bsod.

the_crotch,

Only 70 years too late to help cpl klinger

the_crotch,

Considering machine guns have been illegal since the 30s, youre probably right

the_crotch,

We still have mandatory registration for selective service, it’s only for men, and feminist groups like the national organization of women believe it should be expended to I clude women or eliminated because it’s sexist

the_crotch,

Everyone needs to pay tax so we have nice shit.

Like bombs, drones, missiles, and genocides?

the_crotch,

This country operated without an income tax for 135 years and you’re citing a 5 year period in a single state? Talk about cherry picking.

Taxes are necessary, fine. Cheerleading them is stupid. You’re not a hero for paying taxes, you’re doing the bare minimum to stay out of jail. And considering how they’re spent, you’re kind of a villain.

If you dont like how your taxes are being spent. Vote in better people.

Oh, it’s my fault the feds reguarly use my money to kill people, ok. Guess I should have voted harder.

Hey, if this is one single person’s responsibility, why haven’t you fixed it?

Nobody cares about local elections

My local taxes are rarely spent on bombs, drones, missiles, or genocides.

the_crotch,

Poor guy just wanted to spread vicious lies about people whose children were murdered. Who amongst us hasn’t done that?

the_crotch,

That must be why they voted to renew the patriot act every 3 years since 2002, because they value freedom.

Please. All the worst legislation is bipartisan. Republicans are just stupid enough to say the quiet part out loud.

the_crotch,

If the president of the US wanted someone inside of the US assassinated he would be assassinated already

the_crotch,

They’ve got their own municipal power plant though so they’re not getting raked over the coals by eversource like the rest of the state

the_crotch,

Yep, that explains it, I’m talking about Wallingford in Connecticut. It’s about a half hour from Oxford, near Durham, Cheshire and Cromwell. Just southwest of Berlin.

the_crotch,

That niche network 4chan, with merely 22 million visitors a month

the_crotch,

Trump can’t pronounce preposterous. Way too many syllables.

the_crotch,

The role of kira on ds9 was originally supposed to be Ro. You could have had a whole series with her as a main character.

the_crotch,

Updates are paused until 2038/January/19

And the botnets rejoiced for their bounty was plentiful

the_crotch,

It’s not that it’s too woke, woke is a star trek cornerstone. It’s because it’s “corporation flying rainbow flag” woke. Stamets in particular does nothing but provide empty representation. Representation is great but there needs to be something to it. You can’t just sit down and be like “ok, he’s gay and neurotic and possibly autistic” and never develop any further than that. Minorities aren’t cardboard cutouts who exist to check off a box. They’re people.

the_crotch,

SNW is the only good thing to come out of DIS

the_crotch,

Can’t say I blame him for keeping a low profile. I remember the shit that internet nutcases were saying about him and his mother when this happened. They probably got a ton of death threats.

the_crotch,

Nobody spends memorial day reflecting on people who died in wars. They spend it swimming, grilling hot dogs, and watching Shriners drive around in their tiny cars. What would make this one any different?

the_crotch,

Ironically the first season of tng was exactly like tos and the show didn’t hit is stride until it threw that out and started doing it’s own thing

the_crotch,

Almost? All of the living ones are for sure.

the_crotch,

That’s been true every year since I stated paying attention. In 1997.

the_crotch,

it is unlikely that Linux Desktop adoption will ever proliferate to the kinds of mainstream adoption that its accolades desire.

And if it does, the acolytes will hate it and start pushing for BSD adoption, because there’s a huge streak of hipsterism in the Linux community

the_crotch,

The national libertarian party enshrined gay rights in their founding charter in 1974 when the Dems and repubs were still holding hands and singing “god hates fags” together in unison

the_crotch,

I didn’t accuse you of saying any of that. What you did say was that they lost their way prior to the 1950s, which would be a neat trick for an entity that didn’t exist until 1974.

the_crotch,

Private companies can still have multiple owners

Fox News headline: Lemmy user almar_quigley says “Trump is 100 times better than Biden.”

the_crotch,

Florida’s going to be under water in a generation or two anyway

the_crotch,

I bought FF7 rebirth without watching any videos of it, expecting an updated final fantasy game. What I got was a final fantasy themed dragons age. Refunded that shit after a half hour.

the_crotch,

Which one had that hilarious painting of himself and Jesus hanging out?

the_crotch,

“Sounding” means shoving stuff up your eurethra.
