@Pooter Lots of people on here would probably agree with you that a massive drawback to Trumpism is the violent snap back effect it as to the other side. It’s been a problem since 2016. But you trying to say that Kamala would have been some sort of centrist breath of fresh air and that we wouldn’t be getting these far left candidates if she had been in power is just laughable. She is one of those people! Did you pay attention to the Biden presidency? His cabinet was jammed full of far left insanity. The same type of clowns winning primaries right now. I can’t believe I have to repeat this over and over, but Kamala being in charge of the border and allowing it to be overrun by mass human migration is immediate grounds to never be considered for any political office ever again. It’s not a conspiracy to say that they left the border open on purpose. In the short term they were able to dumb these people in big blue cities that were losing population and would have likely had census changes that had political districting to impacts. In the long term, the left genuinely believes that skin color matters, and that brown people vote for them. Whether it was through an eventual amnesty or just child birth, the left believes mass human migration of poor dark skinned people will get them votes in the future. It’s frankly pretty sick. There was nothing more far left than what they did with the border and Kamala was the head of that effort. Can you imagine if we were nearly two years deep into her Presidency right now and the border was in the same state it was pre Trump. That is a wildly scary prospect.

Kamala being portrayed as some sort of semi-centrist “garden variety democrat” has me actually rolling on the floor laughing. You mean the woman who was the Border Czar, did absolutely nothing, and allowed massive waves of human migration from third world shitholes? Don’t look now, but that’s the far lefts playbook being actively played out around the world at this very moment.

The irony of you calling me out for “tribalism” from a post where I was calling people out for that very thing is hilarious. Not to turn this into another political bitch fest thread on Baseops, but the only one being blinded by tribalism between us two is you. Yes, I am thankful every single day that Kamala Harris is not President. The Democrat party of today is an absolute disaster that is hell bent on destroying this country. Trump is a side show. A cluster fuck of a side show at times, I’ll give you that, and frankly it’s a show I’ve criticized many many times on this very website. It’s also one that the democrats are successfully weaponizing to elect and then enact their own disastrous candidates/policies. That I very much believe is a problem and a huge drawback to Trumpism. But to lecture on about who is bigger threat to this country when the democrats continue to trot out absolute batshit candidates and policies; yeah, sorry, it’s weak and it’s boring. I mean hell, Bill Maher came out and said his vote is in play this next cycle. That’s how far off in La La land the current Democrat party is. I’ll also add, my vote is always in play too. I’m a registered independent and thanks to the military I’ve lived in both deep blue and deep red states, and now willingly live in a purple to slightly blue state. In fact, the two senators from my state were both once legit centrist democrats that I also once voted for as a younger man. They of course are no longer that and trot out the same batshit party line as everyone else from the Democrat party these days. Frankly I don’t give two craps about what party you’re from if you actually have solid centrist to center right policy ideas that might actually make this country better. Both parties struggle at that in many ways, but the democrats are putting nobody forward that even comes close. Anyway, pointless and worthless internet rant is now over, but spare me the holier than though lecturing and crocodile tears of “BUT TRUMP!” I’ve stepped outside the political tribal bubble plenty of times in my life when I’ve gone to the ballot box. Back to regularly scheduled Iran cluster fuck, version 4.0 or later whatever we’re on.

Supporting this quagmire feels like peak sports team style support for your preferred political side. I voted for Trump all three times and I am still thankful to this day that Kamala Harris is not the president. But there has been plenty to criticize the Trump admin about this term as well, the Iran shit show being chief among them.

Milton’s post is spot on. I don’t care how politically incorrect it is to say, the next war in Europe is more likely to be caused by Islam. Putin and Russia is a side show. A cultural civil war in Western Europe would be devastating but is absolutely a risk on the path they’re on. Islam is not compatible with western values. The sooner we realize that as a collective society, the better western society will be.

Looks awful in my opinion. The light blue scheme was timeless on every airframe it was put on. This looks like some generic airline scheme from 1998.

Did you seriously just respond to him asking what you stand for/what your opinion is, with questions? Copy, you really are a 🤡

Virginia democrats have proposed a state level bill to prevent ICE from enforcing immigration law within 40 feet of a polling location. Man, I can’t imagine why you’d need to make that law since illegals can’t vote…

It’s fascinating to see the left’s media machine spin up into action to tell us none of this is true.

Virginia Libs also voted overwhelmingly for the state attorney general candidate who sent texts fantasizing about shooting a state level Republican politician in the head and also hoping his wife would watch her kids die.

A school can’t get more elitist douchey than UVA.

Generals who have probably never set foot in a GA aircraft, telling us what a good thing it is putting the Air Force’s future in the hands of a GA training pipeline, is hilarious to me. I’m not anti GA either; in fact I’m very active in the local GA scene. But GA flying, even the pilot mill schools, is a completely different culture and set up.

That’s fucking hilarious when the current immigration problem was largely caused by a far left political movement that believed that importing as many dark sinned people as possible was the ticket to winning elections. Because apparently skin color has everything to do with how you vote. Now tell me who’s racist? By the way, pulling the “you’re racist” card is the most clear way to know the person you’re arguing with is not someone worth spending time on.

Oh look, another violent riot from the left.

It’s a fascinating shift in American politics to see what is essentially “old school” 1990s Democrat policies - union supportive protectionist tariffs, tax hikes on the wealthy - be simultaneously despised by those who call themselves democrats and embraced by those who call themselves conservative. Interesting times.
