I would say that irony died today but, in reality, it’s been dead for a very long time. We’ve lost all sense of the ridiculous, so now ridiculous is the new normal. This is how empires fail.

Because Trump is totally cool with SOSs who mishandle classified materials…if they have a dick.

Now he’s just trolling us. Petraeus? Really?

Isn’t he the legless Greek sprinter who killed his girlfriend?

That’s Oscar Pistorius. South African. Back in prison on an upward-revised sentence, if I’m not mistaken. Future role in the Trump administration TBD, but with those qualifications you know there’s a place for him.

Gen’l Petraeus is a perfect fit for the Trump ā€œadministrationā€. He blabbed confidential information to his mistress and wrecked his career.

Patraeus may be too busy for the job. Last I heard he was in a time consuming search for Dorothy Vallens.

Oscar Pistorius

Isn’t that a skin disease with symptoms of itching and flaking?

I still think he should go with Nugent.

I’m not going to like anyone Trump picks, so it might as well be Petraeus. I think the ā€œHillary is a crookā€ meme that they hammered away on for years, will be used to attack the Democrats in the future. (They’re Republicans, they can do that.) However, if he appoints Petraeus, it nullifies all of their self-righteous indignation over an email server, that was probably less likely to be hacked than the State Department’s. That Senate hearing could be fun.

dave, you ruined my joke ( Petraeus bringing Broadwell in a little black dress to his interview with Trump) but then I realized you’re right. it’s all getting old. And pathetic, Gong Show pathetic. ā€˜Ridiculous’ may be the new normal but soon we’ll all get tried of that as well. When Trump went on his child-like tweeter rants about Jill Stein and the WI recount I had no response. My poor brain couldn’t even process it.

Soupy Sales on Youtube may be our last defense.

My question is: Is Petraeus eligible for a security clearance, or was that forfeited with his conviction?

A little warning Donald, keep him away from your wife, not that you probably have sex with her anymore, but you know the honor thing and all such as you have honor anymore.

Yes. The heartbreak of Pistorius. I remember the commercials.

That’s just fucking great! Petraeus shared military secrets with the woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair, he actually endangered national security and risked the lives of American troops in the process, and he was duly convicted for it. But I guess it’s all OK if you’re a Republican.

That was the essential cognitive dissonance with the Hillary email issue. She created a risk that foreign powers would gain unauthorized access to secret information about our plans to keep the store secure, which apparently did not happen, and that became a campaign issue for the guy who wants to give the store away.
