Glad he got out.

Man, I could watch Lane Kiffin lose a football game every day and never grow tired of it.

Negat0ry is being moderated UFN. In the last 6 months he’s pretty much only posted on this and the Iran page, clearly with the main goal of trying to piss people off. And for when someone posts “that’s only because he doesn’t like Trump”, notice how disgruntled is still able to post (just one example). Let this be a message for all: Have something positive to offer the page, not just I love or hate Trump. If someone disagrees, they can send a PM to one of the mods.

We got him back to San Antonio today. Thanks to the AE crew from OKC for their professionalism and care. Duty, Honor, Texas.

Wood chipper, feet first

Most of us are simply sick of this thread. Your post is exactly why. You’re literally begging to have someone to argue with. It’s pathetic. Head over to reddit. They’ll engage with you. You can get your feels there.

This place isn’t near as life swallowing and toxic as the other places I typical lurk. So much so I’ll even raise my hand once in a while. The water is warm, no need to get out. Still lots of wisdom lurking around and I still think young bucks are searching for it. Just look how busy the Active Duty hiring board posts get. Back on topic… like Clayton said, birds aren’t real, will be interesting to hear what lies the investigation board comes up with to cover that up.

Why would you think nobody cares? I bet plenty of people on here care about fellow pilots, whether they personally know them or not. I certainly do.

Don't disagree, but this all seems like he wasn't asked.

Negatory As Brabus and Lloyd said we don’t owe you an argument. Most on here who claim to be, or lean conservative sound like they aren’t too happy with either party. I’d love to go back to a much much smaller government but neither party is willing to move in that direction at all. I don’t believe the government’s role is to do everything for us (food stamps, welfare, schooling, jobs, hold our hand, etc). But, I also don’t want to go back to 1600-1700s and prior where the majority of people around the world lived in abject poverty and were days away from dying all the time. We are better off than we’ve ever been (certainly in the West anyway) and yet we still demand more from those who are willing to work and less from those who aren’t. Here’s a start, off top of my head, to your desired knowledge on my beliefs for rules/policies/guides. 1 A turn back to more personal responsibility and obligation and away from the selfish “you owe me” thinking would be a good first move. 2 A concerted effort to completely squash all identity bs across the board. Encourage normalcy and don’t champion fringe identities (e.g. trannies, pedos, drugs, anti-social behavior). Protect individual rights, but don’t encourage (overtly or covertly) behavior that is antithetical to human flourishing and traditional family formation. 3 Strong law and order culture (from the top down to man on the street). But also hold police and authority figures to the same standards. Full weight of law against those who abuse their power (no cya for authority figures). 4 End all immigration (incredibly rare one-offs if absolutely necessary) for 10 years minimum. Deport all illegals and fine (confiscate all wealth) from those who don’t self deport. Root out those who are here legally but aren’t integrating (looking at you MN, MI, maybe others) and denaturalize and boot them out (tough to identify all, but the most obvious is criminals). Offer guidance and assist local communities with integration. Information only (not a bunch of funding for more bureaucratic bs programs). 5 End all government assistance to those who apply to immigrate. Make them prove self sufficiency like most other countries require. 6 End birthright citizenship except for current legal citizens. Just because you snuck in, or are even legally visiting our nation, doesn’t make your kids citizens. No dual citizenship ever. 7 Stop all foreign aid to countries who’s governments don’t align with traditional American values (rights, policies, etc). We might still have trade relationships with all nations (with some stipulations as necessary) but no foreign aid. 8 Roll out Dodge 2.0 on steroids and actually follow through with gutting most federal programs. Make every department justify every dime they spend, including funding required to justify their budget. It’s astounding the amount of waste in our 7 to 8 fricken trillion dollar (and still increasing every year) budget. That’s a start. Poke holes all you want.

So afraid. This forum is disproportionately “conservatives,” - read populists - and it’s telling how no one is engaging here. You guys may be in a cult if you can’t explain yourself more than that. It’s a more socially acceptable cult - one in which you get to have cookouts with your white friends and go to church and feel like you’re normal - but it’s fundamentally a group where you avoid critical discussion or introspection to avoid being socially outcast. It would be hilarious if you were a self governing commune, but you’re fuc*ing up the country. You guys talk condescendingly on here about how people won’t debate beliefs, but then when they do you can’t talk about what principles specifically you care about. Your literal only response is a fallacy: “Dems would be worse.” It’s the 5 year old putting his fingers in his ears. You guys don’t even introspect and try to make the R candidate better. Because “Dems would be worse.” Results in your position boiling down to “Welp, yeah. I don’t like the admin making billions in office and starting another forever war that’s just like Russia Ukraine and covering up and lying about the Epstein files and increasing the deficit and exploding the debt even though they’ve promised to decrease it and increasing inflation and doing nothing to make the middle class better and lying constantly on social media and saying that the first and fourteenth amendments should be suspended and trying to force folks off the air and keeps saying they will run for a third term. But obviously the dems would have covered up the Epstein Files more and made more cryptocurrencies in office and tripled inflation way more and definitely would have started 5 forever wars and they would force my labradoodle to get a sex change 😱 and they would install Obama again. Even though all historical data discounts this.” Your position is, ironically, one that is created purely due to fear. Name your core beliefs that make Talarico a worse candidate than Paxton. Name your principles that invalidate Mark Kelly as the president. Compare it to the retards you would select. Explain why Thomas Massie was a bad conservative.

Or you can be against it all…oh and promising/voting for welfare is also buying votes.

My understanding is that she is claiming stuff like Hazardous Duty Pay and CZTE weren’t paid out. But, the Air Force is saying yes they were, but showed up incorrectly on the LES. I suspect she’s upset with the administration and thinks that this is a way to throw mud on their face by making these claims. 100% understand and am saddened by her husband’s death.. don’t know that this is the best way to honor his memory.

I'd be afraid to ask what the WD-40 lube is for.

You don't have to enforce integration. You have to enforce the ability to integrate. That means you do not get to come to this country if you don't speak English. Maybe some asylum exceptions, but nothing beyond that. You cannot integrate if you cannot communicate with the people with which you are supposed to integrate. And before anybody gets all high and mighty, my mother was born in Cuba, so I'm pretty familiar with immigrants who refuse to learn the language. My great-grandmother never integrated because she never took the time. And that was back in the '60s when you couldn't move to a state that has entire communities of ethnically homogenous immigrants forming miniature versions of their home countries. But the real answer is, immigration probably just needs to stop. Give it about 20 to 30 years, everyone will be integrated, and we can start the machine back up again

I think more cargo capable tankers for a dual role to give TACC options and give our tactical airlift fleet a reprieve would be a win. Whether it be more KC-46s or bigger (KC-Z) based 777 or 330 MRTTs airframes to pack in some serious cargo. But, I also don't know how much of our cargo is outsized vs palletized/ULD so that is a giant assumption.

I thought it was going to be a segue to the Dover sex dolls topic. "Get him a sex doll!" So disappointed it was only watches.

I'd wondered the same, as I wasn't ready to sign on for a 36 minute podcast / video / whatever. Went wading into the YouTube comments, and I assume this about covers it........

You don’t have your own range?! Time to move M2, that’s no way to live.

Picked up my first M1A the other day, ended up buying a 2007 Springfield Armory National Match.

He's an O-6 WSO. Being in a US propaganda is pretty much the pinnacle of his career, right? Most jokes aside, a WSO O-6 shot down in combat surviving a chute malfunction and serious injuries behind enemy lines....yeah, that's Bat-21 territory right there. He should be able to live off the book deal, interviews and royalties for at least a decade...rightly so. Dude earned it!

Guess the bright side is it's better to be in a propaganda video for your own side versus the enemy

After what he's been through I bet an O-6 retirement looks really good about now.

I can't tell if users like Negat0ry are authentic people, or trolls / bots / whatever. Assuming they are actual people, espousing actual beliefs, I think they do a good job of illustrating some of the central issues in American discourse today: They hate Donald Trump, and everything about him. Somewhat because of his various policy positions, but mostly because they're buying every piece of anti-Trump propaganda they've been fed. Because they hate Donald Trump with every fiber of their being, they assume that is one of only two positions to have. You either hate Donald Trump with a passion, or you are his fiercest supporter. To people like Negat0ry, there is no possible middle ground. Related, to posters like Negat0ry, Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, and the very survival of this country. And there is no disagreeing with this fact, as far as they are concerned. Again, largely due to the endless propaganda they've been fed. There is certainly no shortage of bots out there on the interwebs with these beliefs. But I've also run into many people in my social circles who are similar. It's astounding. Along with it comes a lot of other traits you'd expect. Victimhood, amongst others.

This is everything you need to know about him. There are good, well meaning progressives out there, guys. He isn't one of them.

I was tracking with you till this part.. who gets to decide if someone is integrating enough? What’s the standard there? Is the Chinese family who doesn’t speak a word of English running a Michelin starred dim sum restaurant in San Francisco Chinatown integrated enough? Is the Hasidic Jewish community integrated enough? The Amish? Or does this standard only apply to very liberal leaning portions of the upper midwestern muslim community

I’d love to have a better alternative. The democrats aren’t coming through with one that’s for sure

Hail! You motherfuckers. Hail! You big cock suckers. Hail! Michigan, the cesspool of the world.

How bout their fans storming the field by defeating WMU from the MAC after needing a do over play? UFB. Embarrassing

Well, after years of wanting one, I finally found an Italian-made Beretta 92FS at a decent price! Full disclosure, I was never really a fan of this pistol when I had to carry it on active duty. I always found the grip to be too large, and preferred the Glock (and later XD) or a 1911 over it. It wasn't until I got a Walther P1 a year or so ago, and a bud of mine was showing me the 92FS he was carrying a few weeks ago, that I got the bug to grab one. I wanted an Italian one over a US made version, and a FS over a F. A coworker mentioned having one, and I told them to let me know if they felt like selling it. They offered it at a good price ($500) and as it looks like it had a very low round count, there was no way I could pass on it. I am searching for a third mag (again, prefer an Italian-made one) as my shoulder holster from Sarajevo holds two extra mags. I may have a lead on one; but if anyone has an extra they're willing to part with let me know. I also have to admit handling it does bring back some fond memories. The manual of arms is still intuitive despite it being over two decades since I shot one. Some things you just don't forget!

If Kamala tweeted the same shit at Trump, you'd be bald, blind, and exhausted from all the raging. And why do people keep thinking I'm left. No man, no. Conservatives can, and should, criticize Trump for his bullshit. Try it out vs giving it a pass. Meme that shit.
