As they are private companies, and shareholders pensions depend on them, you surely would expect them to cut you off if you didn"t pay your bill-they are not charities, shareholders deserve maximum dividend mate, best way to deal with it is just pay your bill! You aren"t going a little socialist in all this excitment are you?

How Terrible.

Perhaps she should instead have just relentlessly persuaded hordes of supporters over a period of time that the Pentagon is 'evil', overlooked instances of plots to kidnap and kill those who work there instead attacking the targetted individuals, and organised a huge march outside of the Pentagon with suggestions that people should 'fight' those inside to save democracy. Then when it's stormed by groups with guns, zip ties, pipe bombs, homemade chemical weapons, and people are killed, she could just say "how terrible, nothing to do with me". It was good enough for Trump.

Rightly or otherwise, she was calling them in part about the potential for the inappropriate launching of nuclear weapons by a mentally wayward president. And to clarify on the wording as it's a bit ambiguous; her doing so was not illegal or unconstitutional, though denying orders from the commander in chief would've been. That said "military officials can refuse to carry out orders they view as illegal" or slow the process, which would seem to be a valuable, necessary and indeed patriotic tool to have in the final days of this particular Presidency.

I see n Korea are ramping it up already.
Oh dear here we go. Not a word whilst trump was in power. The next few years are really going to cost many lives. Never mind though as the dems are the real deal who will heal society. Pmsl.

They're perpetually ramping it up. It won't make a blind bit of difference who's in power and we'll still be talking about the same 'North Korea Crisis!' in 4 and 8 years times. The real crisis on the ground there is the haircuts.

On the Brexit thread when you said it’s the responsibility of politicians to do what they think is best rather than what the electorate want. That’s what Trump has done.

Its trump, different rules dont ya know
