Stars and Stripes does really good journalism. Losing independent outlets is sad. Prez Kid Fondler strikes again!

uh oh.. did they accidentally point out black people exist or that women have an 75% chance of being sexually assaulted in the military or some other pertinent fact?

Or that 40% of LE admits to beating their wife

And 60% does not admit to it.

Its important to lump everybody in a classroom and death-by-powerpoint through SAPR training annually. That will fix everything. No need to actual investigate known problematic members of the military or Fort Hood.

Investigate? But they all signed the form online, they would never do that.
it’s better for everyone to ruin that woman’s career over investigate. She’s clearly insane.
Edit: I wrote this with strong sarcasm and I still feel awful. This kind of culture is disgusting.

But it is true within the military. I hated that we had to take those classes cause some E4/5 couldn't keep it in his pants. Yet they were still in good standing with the unit leadership.

It is disgusting, and I only had to deal with the civilian side of it. Just the casualness of all the awful things was horrible. The younger airmen at least had a lower tolerance for it and would call shit out, older retirees working GS jobs have no filter.

In the article, the main "woke distractions" are celebrity gossip and reprinted AP articles. I know for MAGA, "woke" mostly just means things they don't like, but this is making that true to the point of self-parody. I suppose rain on a golfing day, the sound of fingernails on chalkboards, and hangovers will be "woke" soon enough.

Did y'all ever think we'd actually live in a fascist state?
Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 235d
Yes, but not through a three stooges type of regime.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 235d
I always knew the tendencies were there, but I had no clue just how many horrendously wretched people we had in this country. I would have known fascism were inevitable if I did.

Yes. Law Enforcement has always been this way in USA its just that now they have whole teams doing it and don't care if the camera is rolling.
Used to it would just be whatever one you crossed paths with that got a wild hair.
And the spying all ramped up since 9/11, PRISM and whatnot.
We've been fucked for a long time.

We have warfighters? Someone tell the senate so they can fix their mistake on Venezuela.

Mike Johnson just finding out that Venezuela is a place on earth.

As someone who grew up reading the Stars and Stripes for the 10 years I was living in Germany, this hurts.

We can't have this "woke" truth anymore!
