One of the things that really, really drives me crazy is this notion that an Attorney General is a "General" or should be addressed as General. It's absurd. Best I can tell, it started as a joke, in a Seinfeld episode when the Postmaster General tells Kramer that he's a General in an effort to scare him to accept his mail. He and the Attorney General are no more "Generals" than a General Store is a general or the General Manager of a Kwiki Mart is a General. The General in that title relates to the fact that he is Attorney for all the US generally, not just a specific region.
A General in the military, on the other hand, is a rank. Attorney General is not a military or other rank, it is just the name of a specific position in the US Government. I think some Clinton or Obama era officials actually liked to be called "General", but it's improper.
I am starting to see it more and more in the public consciousness, and it needs to be stopped before the current generation of maleducated idiots accepts it as truth. The TV show "Billions" continually refers to the Attorney General as General X instead of "Mister X" and it hurts my ears.

I am anxiously awaiting 3:05 on the 27th.
thought I heard on the news that Putin was tag teaming with DJT to twist Kim’s arm..
I am wondering if it’s a fake.
I am betting it’s the IG report and it comes out May 27th. A Monday...gives the Prestitutes a whole week of prime time to fester and squeal.
Or am I missing something that means it’s supposed to be April?
Trump taking back the US signature to the UN Arms Trade treaty.

I don’t like newbies harping on my frens. :)
Deserves a re-run..
The big change for me came when I realized everything on the news was a show. The narratives are already written, and they just wait for an event to attach to the narrative. The importance of the event means nothing. The ability to attach an event to a narrative means everything.
I cancelled cable, don't listen to the radio (have a subscription to Rush, though) and stay away from twitter and facebook, except for a few instances. Just not being exposed to the rhythm of the fast cuts and commercials has a calming effect. Stay away from cable TV for a month and then watch it, and it's incoherent.
>>I found a silver dime today. Very exciting.
Very! When Franklin dimes came out, mother started collecting those and letting all the silver go. Sigh. Remember silver-colored 1933 pennies?
I think it could be. No diving secret service?
you betcha!

I saw a bigger frame of it on Twitter. Someone threw their phone but it landed in the crowd. Maybe an accident?
Those MF'ers are some sad specimens, ain't they?
I'm so glad I'm not one of them.
I don’t think it was an accident. I think it was a message like, “next time it might be something more hazardous.”
The Secret Service better get on the ball, imo.

Putting items out beyond the trees, imo, isn’t redpilling, it’s just setting up a soup kitchen for the trolls.
