Republicans need to move on from Trump and focus on how they’re going to attract new young voters and grow the party. The day he leaves office, Twitter is going to ban him, and he loses the most effective tool he has for promoting his message. I honestly feel like if the Senate goes D, we’re in for a unprecedented time in our nation. And Republicans need to have a productive counter narrative.

No one ever said what he revealed wasn't important. The problem was that he didn't do it through existing whistleblower channels endangering completely unrelated US assets in the process.

Funny how those saying the 2016 elections were fair and honest are now absolutely certain they were tampered with...even though Trump's own people have said they don't see evidence of fraud that would have changed the outcome. It's time to call it a day, prep for the midterms in 2022, and for the love of God, find a better candidate than the tweeter-in-chief for 2024.

Funny how all those alleging election tampering in 2016 suddenly claim it couldn't have happened in 2020! Had Trump won, you can bet your last dollar the Democrats would be screaming the same tune when Hillary lost. Our electoral process has some major issues. Denying that is simply ignoring facts. How anyone can have total and blind faith in it after this past November is beyond me...

This thread just needs to end until next election.

Well you guys took my simple statement about voter ID and ran 90 left off the tracks. I don’t think trump won, nor did I even remotely argue there was enough fraud to change the course of the election; you just made wild assumptions based off me arguing we should have voter ID requirements. Get this train back on the tracks - what is a legitimate reason for skipping voter ID, yet requiring it for many other things (arguably less important than voting)? I honestly can’t think of a single one. I guess it’s also totally not a big deal when finance fucks up $15k of your pay for 1.5 years or a violent offender is released from prison and kills someone a week later. Yeah, no point in trying to make the process better, let’s just let it ride. Too much effort otherwise. God I hope this shitty attitude is just your internet persona and not what you actually practice in real life. I’m not sure you even graduated college, let’s see that proof big shot. Unbelievable dude.

Yep! Note my signature block! 😉

I got it, Tylenol took care of it.

This exactly. I voted for Trump twice and still think he was the best candidate in both elections. However, I haven’t seen anything that shows me there was actually widespread voter fraud. I do think there are some weak points in our system that need to be shored up, including a consistent system for mail in voting and a good way to track absentee ballots. I know of a case of someone voting absentee in a state they no longer lived in because they were lazy and hadn’t changed their ID or voter registration. Were things like that enough to sway the election? I don’t think so and haven’t seen any real evidence of it that convinces me. But, I do think we should always be striving to clean up even minor election discrepancies to ensure that all citizens can have faith in the process. Beyond that though, it’s not hard for me, even as a Trump voter, to see him losing. I personally know three women who voted for Trump in ‘16 and Biden in ‘20, based almost completely off his personality. It’s not hard to imagine there were millions more just like them. Trump’s greatest weakness was always his inability to STFU. I liked many of the things he did but frequently found myself cringing as he would immediately put his foot in his mouth seconds after a solid achievement. It’s time to turn the page and let the democrats lay in the bed they made themselves. Biden-Harris is still, imo, one of the worst pairings we’ve ever put into the White House. A half assed offering of a moderate who is likely losing his mental capacity and an unpopular leftist that comes from the most poorly run state in our country. If Trump would just exit the stage for a bit we might actually get the chance to see what a terrible offering this next presidency is going to be.

If republicans were willing to make it automatic issuance, free, easy and quick to replace then I'd be more for it...but what will happen is they will underfund whatever departments give them so getting or replacing the ID will essentially be a poll tax on time(money) for largely democratic voters who will have to weigh getting food to the table or renewing their voter ID because they changed their haircut and are afraid of being turned back at the polls. Many studies have shown that it will disenfranchise largely democratic voters and drive down overall voter participation. How many is too many to disenfranchise for a problem we can't even prove exists on a significant scale (see Kobach Commission after the "rampant" voting fraud in 2016 per Trump). You are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist by creating more government involvement. Everyone that can legally vote should vote, and we shouldn't be putting barriers to that. Again I think for those of you who doubt our election system or think its super easy to scam should volunteer to work one. It's not as easy as you'd think, and the employees it turns out take their job very seriously.

Oh cool. I haven't read the report on the potential long term effects of the vaccine. What did it say?

The Rock?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The choices before us are wide scale vaccination or a couple years or more of continued economic devastation and hundreds of thousands more deaths. I vote for the former and will be in line at the earliest opportunity.

I heard vaccines can give you autism. I really don’t want to catch that.

It is back, they got a good laugh at the studs going through pipeline that had no flying experience and no IFT. Its anyone’s guess as to what the future of the Air Force will look like and future budget allocations or force shaping.

I have no idea what is done today, but years ago that is how it was done... minus the additional 3 year thing.

WTF did the flight doc tell you to suck up any of that? I would have told him to shove it and write me a waste only profile. I mean, good for you for doing it, but how much more damage did you risk doing to your back, especially on situps, because, from what it sounds like, they didn't buy that you had the pain you said you did.

It's pretty entertaining to watch you think that any part of this was factual, relevant, or clever. History is not going to look kindly on trumpers like you who insist on clinging to their alternate reality. But history books are written by aCaDeMic LiBTarDs anyways so who cares what they think amirite?!!!

We can play "whatabout" tennis all day long and just keeping knocking that ball back and forth over the net. Lord knows both sides have enough material to volley. Some polls are showing 36% overall of the population and 70% of Republicans lacking confidence in our voting system which translates to @ 50 million people. Do you have any suggestions that might solve problems with faith in the election system going forward? Or, do we accept the lack of confidence and let it fester?

America has become more racist in the past 6 months than it has been in the last 30 years. Woke = racism

Sadly there aren’t many humans worse than Biden / Harris. Sadly a lot of the country is voting for emotion and their dislike of trump. Not based on his record vs Biden’s. Very scary. Would I rather trump be a gentlemen like Ronnie? Yeah. But what he has done for our country in four years has been amazing in a very positive way.

That’s a really good question that I wish I had the answer to. I think a lot of it boils down to society and this entitlement attitude everyone seems to have. I know in my case the mentality was you owe me this, I am entitled to this. She never wanted to work and stayed at home by her choice. Even when the kids started school she was happy just sitting on her ass and going out with friends shopping all the time. Whenever I mentioned her potentially working she always had an excuse of how she was so overloaded, even though the laundry was always piled up at home, she never cooked dinner, and the house always was messy as $hit. If you ever do have to go to court you will soon find out all about sexual equality. Us men do not get a fair shake most of the time. Even with all the damning evidence that I had and the fact that our kids hate her and don’t want to live with her it was still in my best interest to settle with her out of court. If you would have flipped the script and I was the chick I would have easily had full custody and not had to pay her a dime. But yeah equal rights for women. Fcvk that. Let’s be honest women always fare better in court in almost all cases whether it’s an accused rape or simple divorce. Rant over. I am actually doing fine but I still feel like the court didn’t do justice for my kids. If I was just one case that would be one thing but I have met more and more fathers who have been screwed by the court system. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

The experience gained in the 7 year 'A' model has been invaluable for the current 22 years + 'B' model assignment. But, damn, that experience cost a helluva lot in time/stress/money...
