It's more likely that he was here under a different username. That seems to be another Hallmark of his type. They say enough stupid things they no longer want to be associated with, so they hit the reset button. It's ironic, because they just end up posting the same stupid shit anyways. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wait a sec, did you find some posts from people here supporting the removal of the filibuster? Or are you just doing that stupid thing where you assume everybody agrees with every Donald Trump quote?

Socialism is merely a stepping stone to communism, Marx said that (paraphrasing). Yeah they’re technically different in some ways, but they’re also very intertwined. Frankly who gives a shit, they’re both bad - people try to use the technical distinctions as a “look how smart I am/dumb you are,” but reality is they’re not that smart and “you” aren’t that dumb. Bottom line - both bad, capitalism better (despite the problems that capitalism has), history has proven that for 100% of the earth’s existence since these systems originated.

I learned in a Supercub that had a 135HP Lycoming...it was a beast and I thought normal ops for a Cub. There is NOTHING like slipping a Cub (or other taildragger), over the tree to a greaser one wheel landing on the grass....best if done at Sunset. I am currently shopping airpark runway options. I looked at a 5280' grass strip on 80 acres two weeks ago. Looking at 361 acres this week.

As a former black border C Model patch from Cruiser’s timeframe….I can’t argue with ClearedHot.

Just so we're not always beating up on cops' shooting skills here; skip to about halfway through. Dude was apparently wearing two plate vests and thought the motorcycle helmet would stop a bullet.

Truly no dog in the fight, but I thought the GOP didn't care about politicians saying ffed up shit.

Had I remarried earlier in life I would have done the airpark thing. Big regret after owning an RV-4 for 20 years and an RV-8 for 10. Lot of wasted $$$ on hangars. Thousands of landings w/o a ground loop BUT when it comes to tail draggers, gotta know your limits. Here I am at Red Wing AP, WI waiting out the x-winds at my home airport in MN:

And now you and everyone else who peruses this thread should graduate to the next thing: https://www.practiscore.com/ Find your local match, shooting whatever floats your boat. Essentially every club, and every discipline in the country uses that website.

Could be worse, could have been Slife.

So, he has a husband?

I recall the system goes to communism when all institutions are replaced by the full coop of the people and the system runs itself and there is no need for a govt etc…but full on communism never materialized because shocker nobody wanted to relinquish power money and control.

I'm not sure that either comparison is good. I know that some people on the right do the "everyone I don't agree with is a communist" thing as well. It just gets tired hearing those words (fascist, communist) tossed around by people who don't know what they mean.

UPDATE (6 Nov 25 / 1230 CST): Since I haven't heard from lilyelliott4, and his profile is suspect (IP addresses), Ihe's been banned. ADMIN NOTE: Thanks, I wasn't tracking until you mentioned it; then I looked at his posts and all followed the same style. I admit I use AI to grab info, but all of his responses look like they are completely AI generated. lilyelliott4, your account is locked. PM me if you aren't a bot and I will consider unlocking it. Otherwise, it'll be deleted shortly. p.s., I also removed the Thai fitness webpage link. Sorry guys, but there wasn't anything interesting on there! I had to check for the good of BaseOps! 😁😁

What is this fascination with Mussolini (an actual fascist) all about?

Dibs.

Also Vance as top choice, got a few buddies from undergrad there already. Really hoping for Pensacola IPT. Scared shitless for formation flying. Spending as many hours as I can in the Milviz/Blackbird Microsoft Flight Simulator T-6A module—in reality I’m not sure if it’ll help.

Boeing brought in @HuggyU2 to test out the new cockpit entry system…

Absolutely not what I was hearing. The exact opposite actually. Actively lobbied for the gig. Now, back when CQ left early for CJCS, and Allvin moved up to CSAF - he was in consideration for VCSAF and politely declined. Instead landed a short stint as COMACC before retiring (got to keep up that CMR sortie rate after all). There was other plans for CSAF (ie Bra was always going to replace Allvin - who knew for a long time was going to leave early) - but House of Cards shenanigans pursued, and Cruiser actively pitched into the fight. Oh the reindeer games we play…

Yeah, but it's modified so you can turn the heat off fro the back seat.

True but thank god she has that fine ass IYKYK)...especially given the history of the B-2 and her rear end. One ass hat senior general fell on his sword saying the B-2 "might" have to go low which led to a complete redesign, years of delay with massive cost overruns and a paltry fleet size of 21.

I’ve done (forced) cop-led active shooter drills with everyone using their M9 (and pointing at each other per instructor direction). Yes they were 2-person checked unloaded, but I still felt it was a dumb idea. We’re not talking highly trained shooters, we’re talking mostly run-of-the-mill shoe clerks. Only two of us in the group had firearms experience beyond basic AF training.
