Obduran of Antioch (often confused with St. Abduran the Obtuse) references an obscure First Century C.E. cult known as the Bryanites, who insisted on wearing but a single shoe in obedience to religious principle…
Isn’t Jade Helm supposed to be an exercise in covert infiltration? How much do you want to bet 95% of these yahoos won’t even be able to recognize active military during this exercise?
So they need to capture and retain any strangers. It’s war after all!
There’s a Biblical solution for that ! Just ask 'em to say shayb…shibbow…sheebbo…you know what, fuck it, just shoot all the people you ain’t know, all right ?
It seems to me to be a rather stupid idea for men with guns to start following soldiers around -
It takes less than that for people to start feeling threatened or in fear for their lives…
I can see this as the plot to a screwball comedy - dumb locals start following covert infiltration team, get mistaken as part of the same exercise, accidentally get deployed behind enemy lines.
Perhaps the Texas response is helpful to the training; indeed Abbott might be conforming with covert federal request. :eek:
Errr … cite? Is this why some find you annoying?
You know, they do look a little bit alike…
Would ‘this’ be luci’s misspelling of ‘Brianite’?
They aren’t all home runs.
I smiled, tho.
We could deputize all the soldiers! As cops, if they feel even the slightest hint of fear for their own or someone else’s safety, they can immediately shoot to kill! At least according to Smapti. Take that, Texas ‘counter-insurgency’! 
Obscure because they were shortly anathematized and suppressed by the Gourdene Inquisition.
Not sure if this was already mentioned:
Why would the US president be “negotiating” with a Mexican cartel leader? I think we’re getting a peek into how Trump finances his shitty real estate projects.
Are JEB’s kids still drug dealers? There might be something to this.
Scott Walker’s campaign logo copied the stylized US flag logo used by eyewear retailer America’s Best. Hilarity on Twitter ensued.

as Rachel Maddow pointed out on last night’s show, she had also already used a stylized flag with three red stripes as an “E” on her show before (no idea if the EyeWear place preceded her, though).
These kinds of unintentional re-uses of similar logos are actually pretty common. When somebody finds a visually striking symbol, they don’t often go checking to see if anyone else has used it.
Several decades ago NC wanted a new logo to replace “the snake”,
and they paid a firm to come up with a new one. They got a stylized capital “N” made of two trapezoids, one red and one blue.
Unfortunately, that logo was already used by Nebraska Educational Telecommunications, albeit in a different color:
Ooops
