Even if Trump is for real and not some elaborate performance art thing, he won't be elected.

First it was he would never run, then no one will take him seriously, next he will fade, then he doesn't have a chance to win the nomination... I'm not willing to say anything when it comes to him.

Which is why I'm pulling for Cruz.

The more recent German film was really really good.

Marines across the Corps will be challenged on their unconscious prejudices and presuppositions as women get the opportunity to become grunts for the first time. The Marine Corps is rolling out mandatory training for all Marines before the first future female rifleman hits boot camp, aiming to set conditions for a smooth transition and head off cultural resistance. Mobile training teams will be dispatched to installations across the Corps throughout May and June to offer a two-day seminar to majors and lieutenant colonels, Col. Anne Weinberg, deputy director of the Marine Corps Force Innovation Office, told reporters Thursday. Those officers will then train the Marines under them.

Reminds me of the repeal of DADT. We got together (mandated) as a section and discussed how we thought it would affect us and how we'd move forward. Woooo, a transcript from that session would be a hoot to read now.

In retrospect, your collective fears about being raped were correct?

"your"

Thanks. I'm not anti-gay by any stretch.

I couldn't believe the stuff some of these guys thought would be an issue. Stuff like "If they can't room with men, or women, then they'll get their own room and that won't be fair!"

High level stuff.

Maj. And lt. Cols get the training and then pass it on to their marines.

There isnt a gif to properly convey the laughter for this failure.

Did tif eat a hat yet or did he chicken out?
Good question. @tifosi77, where are we at on that hat eating pledge?
More like a weasel than a chicken.

Step off, the internet is surprisingly thin on hat recipes. But I do have an idea.

It's really not that difficult - whether you have a republican president and a democrat senate... or a republican senate and democrat president - this is exactly how this situation would play out.

Nothing out of the ordinary in my opinion.

Please cite us to one (1) other instance in the history of the Republic where this type of obstructionism could be considered 'ordinary'. Bearing in mind that it was once not uncommon for nominees to be confirmed the same day their name was submitted to the Senate, and that every single election year vacancy since at least 1900 has been filled prior to the next election.

Yes, I would like to see more free nipples.

I demand satisfaction. It could come in the form of a hat eating event, or you simply admitting you're a welcher.

Sorry, I phrased that poorly. I wasn't intending to imply that you agreed with them.

No offense taken, didn't mean to come off as scorned.

I'm 6'4" and bulky. Rape isn't a thing I fear. Low doorways on the other hand...

I ended up getting out before the DADT repeal really went into full effect so I don't know how it ended up affecting everyone. Marines were pretty gay to begin with so I'm not sure how not having to repress it changed small unit dynamics.
