What a Hell of a Way to Die


Jan 23, 2020

This week, we’ve got a huge suite of content. For starters, we discuss the recent unveiling of the Space Force name tape: a zero-effort attempt to make a Space Force uniform that all of us inveterate shammers can appreciate. Why make a distinct uniform when you can, uh, just slap a name tape on something and call it a day? Honestly, it’s all kinda exhausting anyway (source: https://nypost.com/2019/12/20/trump-officially-launches-space-force/)

However, we also discuss the recent story of Prince Harry (a fellow bearded redhead Afghan war vet) deciding to do a reverse Nate and leave Britain for North America. This will involve relinquishing a bunch of ceremonial titles, all of which sound a bit weird?

Finally, we discuss a revelation that, if you try to give President Trump a basic civics lesson, he will lose his mind and call you a bunch of babies — as evinced by a new book. Afghanistan? Folks, it’s a loser war! They don’t even have oil! Very sad! (source: https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-called-his-generals-a-bunch-of-dopes-and-babies-in-a-fit-of-rage-book-claims)
