What a Hell of a Way to Die


Feb 13, 2020

In the least shocking news you could imagine, Donald Trump was acquitted in the senate because our constitution is a garbage document that allows for infinity crimes. This is not a surprise to anyone, but one thing that did surprise us was the weird fixation on Alexander Vindman, particularly on Fox News. In fact, Pete Hegseth brought on Medal of Honor recipient Leroy Petry to tell the world that, according to some guy, Vindman was a spotlight ranger and a chow thief in Ranger School.

Now, why does this matter? Because the CMOH is the ultimate vetbro Yu-Gi-Oh card, and as such they intend to deploy it. You can read the story here from Media Matters: https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-friends/fox-friends-smears-lt-col-alexander-vindmans-military-record

We also discuss the fact that Right-to-Repair restrictions on heavy vehicles are now affecting military vehicles as well, because even the truck you use to do imperialism with has in-app purchases: https://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/even-the-american-military-is-struggling-with-right-to-1841531517
