For those didn't know Rob, he was "the Tom Brady" of the aerobatic world (for lack of a better comparison). And a very, very pleasant and humble person. A dedicated professional who wanted to always be the best. And he was. Him him...

Repeat drunk driver hammered off his ass middle of the day and driving to get more booze, that's who killed one of the finest warriors and family men produced by the USA. He won't last. Matt made so many people better during his too short time here, we'd all be lucky to have the same said for us. Life is precious, enjoy every minute with your loved ones.

Danger41, like the rest of us, put on a uniform to defend ideals. One of which is the right to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. Let's not forget that. I hope the drunk piece of shit rots in prison, and he should be man enough to plead guilty for his crimes, but his attorney is doing the job I hope he would do for you or me if we were on trial.

DIBS!

Fuck the twat who isn’t man enough to accept all that he deserves. He needs to be sent to solitary to serve out the rest of his pathetic life. Also, fuck his pissant defense attorney. I hope that guy is met with misfortune everyday for not having any sense of true justice and morality. I’m all for due process, but GMAFB.

Anything less than life in prison is bullshit. I’d prefer immediate death - maybe general pop can help with that.

The worthless fuck who murdered Macho and injured his family had his trial start a few days ago. Hopefully he does tax payers a favor and just removes himself from the planet. https://www.denver7.com/news/crime/trial-for-man-accused-of-killing-colorado-us-air-force-member-in-dui-crash-begins

Buddy, trust me when I tell say you can never be sure what you'll be on trial for. I understand and feel the rage, but this is literally core to being American. Anyways, enough said. We lost one of our best, and we are all worse of for it. The donation link for the family is still active.

I don't agree with Trump on everything but it does appear he is trying to honor his core promises: Egg prices are down - granted this was not really a function of Trump, had a lot more to do with Bird Flu but prices have fallen dramatically as egg producing flocks have rebounded. Oil prices have also fallen - there is likely a sweet spot it should remain and we are very close. Border crossings are WAY down (95%) Inflation is easing and there is likely a lag as falling energy prices take a while to work through the system...next report will likely be very good. He definitely failed on his promise to end the Ukraine War in 24 hours. Interesting to see how the tariff issue is working out. The market has snapped back this week, I didn't perfectly time the bottom but did reposition two weeks ago.

I understand what you’re saying, and mostly agree regarding the principles you’re alluding to. That being said: I don’t subscribe to the notion that public defenders should be compelled to represent. I will never be on trial for being 3x over the legal limit and killing innocent people. I don’t see a world where this heinous act is morally defensible…so I don’t hope for the world to come to my defense. I am being somewhat tongue in cheek…but the court could benefit from implementing a time-tested methodology called “instant justice.” They can visit their local fighter squadron for more information.

Anyone here think Trump is learning about the true nature of his buddy Putin?

Just gonna piggy-back off this to start a little rant, don't mind me @kaputt. Many of Trump's trade / tariff policies certainly seem impulsive and short-sighted, I just don't have the economic expertise to propose an optimal alternative, and at a certain point you just need to make a leap of faith when electing a president and hope he surrounds himself with intelligent and talented people who can help steer the ship in the right direction. It's clear that what we've been doing for the past 30+ years isn't working; We've hollowed out our industrial capacity, offshored American jobs, and undercut domestic labor from both ends with H1B and illegal labor. We're also leaking tons of money in the form of foreign remittances. As for principled conservatism and "center-right leadership", what have they even accomplished in the 21st century? They sat idly by and conserved absolutely nothing while our country and culture was ravaged by radical progressivism. I was just listening to the oral arguments for the Supreme Court case involving LGBT books in classrooms this morning and couldn't help but think about how far down this slope we've slipped. First it was "Leave us gay folks alone and let us do what we please in the privacy of our bedroom," which seemed fair enough. Then it was "Bake the cake for us, you Christian bigot!" After that it became "Let my son compete against your daughter in the swim meet / wrestling tournament / etc. you transphobe!" And now we're at the point where the Supreme Court is going to decide if parents have the right to opt out of school lessons on drag queens. It seems like the LGBT people can't leave everyone else alone. I'm simply a man of the Right, and the right-leaning politicians we've elected in the recent past haven't done enough to reject the fundamentally erroneous premises that the Left has foisted upon us during their cultural ascendancy and tenure in power. I reject the premise that my country is an economic zone for the world's tired masses to benefit from. I reject the premise that every man, woman, and child on this planet is an American waiting to be "documented". People aren't owed access to my home just because it's better than the shithole they came from. The Overton Window has shifted rightwards more in the past 6 months than in the 25 years preceding that, and it wasn't because of principled conservatives like Romney, Ryan, or the Bushes.

uh lets start with the ones that were arrested crossing the border ILLEGALLY then released into the country. genius.

GMAFB, you are presenting the false dilemma: treat an unprecedented mass of illegal murderous gang members with the same deliberate protections of law provided citizens or we cannot maintain the constitution. I reject your premise. Is there any doubt how our founding fathers would've handled this situation? They were actively driving out the natives & preventing additional British colonists from staying; it was obvious to those who wrote the constitution how/when "due process" applies and who is eligible. Yet now we're arguing to obey the constitution we have to do the opposite of what the authors intended? Go with your opinion on the mandatory Covid vaccine, forced closure of churches & arrests of people engaging in the free exercise of religion during that time, assault weapons bans, sham trials for J6, FISA court abuses....

Progressives are now pro-Constitution, unless it’s the 1A, 2A, 10A…

That would be, in essence, the extent of the process that they are due. An officer in the field should be able to investigate and determine legal status fairly easily. I can prove my legal status lickety split...I get to stay. This idea that every alien should get hearings ad infinitum is absurd.

With that kind of resume, leave the dang PCSM alone. 88 isn't bad.

Lmao

This is the key assumption undergirding trump's entire tariff plan, and apparently also bill oreilly's argument. The only problem is for the most part it is completely false. The vast majority of countries are not "hosing" us in trade. China and a few others actually have predatory trade practices, but dozens of countries we have now pissed off were pretty solid allies that simply have a trade deficit with us. Many had free trade agreements with us and near zero tariff levels. And one more time for the folks in the back: A trade deficit is not a ripoff. But that is exactly what trump's tariffs were calculated from. Just as one example, we already had a free trade agreement with South Korea--a hugely important ally. Their effective tariff rate on imported US goods was 0.002%. But trump's make-believe math says they're tariffing us 50% based on his nonsense deficit formula, so now we're dunking on a close ally that has crucial chip technology and was (until now) very strongly aligned against China. We are literally punching ourselves in the dick and then doing mental gymnastics to try to frame it as a win. You guys can rail on the neocons and the globalist elites and whatever other boogeymen all you want, but I know one thing and it's this: until 5 minutes ago, stock market performance was the ultimate bellwether for a president's economic policies in right wing circles. But now that trump has tanked the market, suddenly a lot of people are doing 180 pivot and demanding patience while he enacts some 50-year grand plan to revitalize american manufacturing. GMAFB. The dude is an illiterate clown who thinks "trade deficit" means we are literally losing money to these countries as if we aren't getting goods and services in return. Deficit = bad word. Must fix bad word. It's as simple as that.
