  • That was Obama actually. With swine flu in 2009.

    There wasn’t any protocol to deal with pandemics when swine flu rolled around. The Obama admin was caught completely off guard and recognized that the office wasn’t equipped to handle something like that. Luckily swine flu ended up being extremely minor, but they took it to heart and put together a team and playbook for dealing with a pandemic.

    Trump trashed that as soon as he entered office.

    That’s how far we’ve fallen. Bush was a god awful president responsible for the financial crash and countless deaths in the Middle East.

    But he at least had some redeeming qualities. His PEPFAR program (canceled by Trump) has also saved tens of millions of lives from HIV/AIDS in Africa. He also established the worlds largest marine protected area, the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

    Trump has no real redeeming qualities.

    Pretty well, speaking from direct experience. VA has taken care of me medically. Got my degree paid for. Got a zero down home loan. Gave me connections that have supercharged my civilian career.

    Virtually everyone I served with has the same experience. The Marines were nothing but good for my life. Just sucked while I was in lol.

    I know there are vets out there with the opposite experience. But the ones I personally know with that experience were shitheads before the Marines and shitheads when they got out/got kicked out.



  • Apple is always doing all of that other than the fokdable, which has been turned for a long time.

    AirDrop and AirPlay are always getting better between Apple products. They literally just made the iPhone titanium for better durability. It has better battery life pretty much every year.

    This one is more repairable than ever with the easily removable glass.

    Those are all things Apple announces every year and everyone shits on them because it’s not innovative enough, like every year needs to be 2011 again when phones were making massive leaps year over year.

    Like oh, this chip is only 20% faster than the last one with only 10% better battery life. Yawn.
