HOT TAKE
 

The primary purpose of the 14th amendment was to give slaves citizenship, and the sponsor of the citizenship clause held that it didn't apply to children of foreigners.
 

 
My personal view is that I'm in favor of an Australian style limited birthright citizenship.

No
Shit
Sherlock.

Heineken is piss and anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.

Wow guys, everything I say is wrong and low energy and sad, and I didn't realize that saying such idiotic nonsense would win me an invitation to a Brett Kavanaugh style frathouse rape party.  I will try to do better in the future, and back up my statements with reasoned arguments from primary sources instead of making up on-the-fly ad-hoc nonsense and rationalizations.

Also, I promise to throw away my Kancolle IJN Yamato fuck pillow.  I guess... I've realized I need to grow up.  I don't need that anymore.

Samar, you mean the battle where the Japanese ran away from a few escort carriers despite having the advantage in the most lopsided battle in naval history? You mean the battle where the Japs got their guns on target with fucking dye shells like the low technology barbarians they were? That Battle of Samar?
 
 

Isn't the Zero basically the Japanese equivalent of Nascar? Only capable of making left turns.

WEEABOO'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!

Angela Merkel says she will not seek a fifth term as chancellor, effectively beginning the winding down of her time as German leader. Merkel says she will not be seeking any political post after her term as chancellor ends in 2021. She also says she will not stand for re-election as chairwoman of her Christian Democratic Union party when an election is held in December. Merkel's CDU party and her coalition partner in Berlin, the Social Democratic Party, saw heavy losses in the state election in Hesse this weekend.

Bolsonaro seems to have won in Brazil.

Here's my tinfoil hat take on this bomber. He's a result of the FBI,  he'd been egg'd on and pushed by an agent into acting so that he could be intercepted. I think the FBI does this kind of thing regularly, trying to infiltrate groups or locate weirdos to push them forward and get them to do something they wouldn't otherwise do. 
 
Another thing to note is that almost all of the people targeted have security details that check incoming mail. Didn't some of them get into the offices buildings where the person was? This whole event looks rotten.

In my world, folks who have so many bumper stickers on their vehicle windows that it obscures the driver’s vision, are all nucking futz.

I've changed my mind. This is a 4chan prank.

I am honoured to accept lifelong house arrest and confinement in the name of designing glorious tanks for our sacred motherland.
 
I will place the coaxial machinegun in a more suitable position where it can wound all crewman equally, so as to enact the egalitarian principles of our supreme state.

After 23 days of drinking booze and random disappearing, judges finally picked winners of this competition!
 
   In a 45 ton category we came to the conclusion that a member of this forum, who only recently joined to us, was able to surpass all other contestants with his tank design. He earns a title of The Glorious Tank Autist of SH - comrade @N-L-M!
   His XM-2239 "Norman" tank was chosen by all judges as the best submissions of this competition. His work was fighting with Toxn's heavy tank for a 1st place, and managed to overtake it.
 

 
   @Sturgeon's XM12 "Donward" was disqualified from the competition as it was not fitting into one of basic requirements (width, 3.35 meters without skirts vs 3.25 meters required). 
   @A. T. Mahan's 120mm gun tank T44 also was disqualified for use of armor tech that was out of competition-imposed industrial capabilities limitation (1940-1950s level of tech)
   @ApplesauceBandit's AFVs were also not in a competition as submission was lacking in any stats, so we couldn't understand if vehicle fits into basic requirements. 
 
 
   In 25 ton category a rivalry was stronger as more light tanks proposals managed to get through basic requirements. Judges examined several war vehicles proposed by A.T. Mahan, Sturgeon, NLM, Toxn, and made their choice. The winner of this category is no other than a Supreme Warrior of Napkinpanzers comrade @Toxn!*
 
*vehicle should receive a change in co-axial MG placement, as now it is a danger for driver's head when he is entering/exiting his station or anytime when he have his head outside of the hatch.
 

Our Great AFV designer Toxn pictured with tank drivers that his tank is going to kill before modernization programm will be launched to reposition co-axial MG to a safer place.
 

Place for a memorial is ready to accept new heroes of SH Tank design bureau.** 
**Not in Kharkov
 
   Winners of this competition now should receive their prizes, after that - locked in their houses and allowed to get out only to work on AFV designs until retirement.

I like how Five Turdy Ate weighs polls, artificially inflating or deflating their value, based on their FEELZ or when a result doesn't fit their pre-conceived notion.
 
I also like how they'll change their polling based on irrelevant information, such as using fund-raising totals to gin up their numbers or generic nation-wide polls to predict local races.
 
I also like how Silver will factor in races that haven't even had polling done, making a wild-assed guess, and then filtering that info into a generic polls, which is then used to massage numbers in races that have had polling to make a "prediction".

Ah yes, let’s place a 12 inch gun in a 1.6 kt sub, eat your heart out France! 
 
Obligatory picture of Surcouf: 

So update, certain key officials have gone missing. We are not sure if they have been kidnapped, and or if it was the California Crazies, or desert cultists, or corporate shenanigans.  No body has been found at this time. We will keep you posted. 
 
 
FAX# 555-LUV-3TIT with any info on officials. 

Let me say, this has been a scandal-ridden procurement program!  There have been safety problems, gross violations of the required stats,  and rumors of bribery! Also, the "marketing proposals" were disappointing, and the synthetic refreshments at the conference were very low energy and the three-breasted "hosts", were possibly disease-ridden and confirmed radioactive!  AND someone may have leaked this info to the crazies in California, and they may be coming up with some insane super tank!
 
The world has gone MAD!

Surely $45 and $25?

Sick, whoever wins is going to get this burger king coupon I found under the fridge.
