The Next President is...
I posted elsewhere about it. I’m pretty sure he was talking out of his posterior as usual since buying votes is obviously illegal. If we posted every time one of our politicians said something stupid we’d be on here all day every day.

The Next President is...
I commend you on your consistency but they’re really not the same thing. One is a real policy prescription, albeit misguided, to address a problem in the country. It also stems from the genuine belief that ‘healthcare is a human right’ (FWIW I disagree.. it’s a commodity/service,) but it’s pretty obviously different from a naked buying-votes scheme. Literally just offering money if they win is cartoonish levels of anti-american villainy. I’m not worried because 99.9% of what Trump says is complete and utter bullshit that will never materialize, but it’s funny that other than you it’s crickets in here. We both know if a dem proposed anything like this the thread would light up like the 4th of July.

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

I agree with you—we should end all forms of welfare.

I cannot wait for my $5000 freedom dividend (and my $5000 DOGE check) to clear. I’m glad that my fellow countrymen get why this is a good idea.

The Iran thread
According to @JenniferJJacobs and @JimLaPorta of CBS News, a number of U.S. aircraft were damaged in last night’s Iranian strikes on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. Per the report, an A-10 “Warthog” was damaged, leaving it with a missing wing, and approximately 8 F-15s were damaged but returned to service. Additionally, over 30 Patriot missile interceptors were used during the inundation of Iranian fires overnight.

College Football
Did anyone else here wish the SEC followed thru and vote LSU out of the conference? And then see LSU shop themselves around and no other conference take em in? I get that dudes got shorted on eligibility, but once you sign a pro contract, your a pro. No going back.

It may not be that “sinister” of motivation. She’s pissed that finance fucked up…again…for the 69th million time. Among the list of daily fuckups by FM world, incorrect classification of something on an LES is basically still a 95% success rate by their standards. I don’t blame her for the politically motivated hacks in the MSM taking something and making a gigantic lie out of it - it’s their MO.- The Iran thread
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.- The Iran thread
So easy to confirm things now days.... The Reality and Government Correction Following public frustration and media scrutiny, the US Air Force formally corrected the issue: [1] The Explanation: Military officials acknowledged they had initially provided inaccurate information to the family. [1, 2] The Resolution: The Pentagon clarified that Major Klinner's final paycheck did indeed include combat-related hazard pay and tax breaks. The issue was a pay-processing and communication error—the combat pay (which amounts to an additional $225 per month) had been included but was incorrectly itemized on the statement. [1, 2] Policy Confirmation: The US military reiterated that combat-related benefits are not conditioned on a formal declaration of war by Congress. They apply to any service member operating in an area of physical danger or hostile fire. [1, 2] While standard federal active-duty death benefits—such as the tax-free $100,000 Death Gratuity, ongoing monthly Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC), and Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) annuities—remain fully intact for military families, this specific case exposed deep frustrations regarding how the Pentagon processes and classifies injuries and casualties during the ongoing conflict. [1, 2, 3]- The Iran thread
Likely more to the story here…by that logic no family who had a loved one die since WW2 would have received a payout since there has technically been no declaration of war since then. But yes, the families should get paid and the Pentagon should unfuck this. Likely a tragic victim of the admin BS we are all so familiar with in the military.- The Iran thread
