It makes me feel really safe when I get randomed 96.69% of the time but then my illegal immigrant passengers are flying for free with no ID or background check AND yet I have to show TSA 2 forms of ID.

Must not be that hungry if you're worried about it not being Halal.

Air dropped food to Gaza not good because it’s not Halal. Luckily the JDAMs are kosher.

Yeah except for fundamentally there's a key difference. The universities are teaching the citizenship that they themselves are the enemy of the cause. The third Reich did not teach that german-born German citizens were the fundamental roadblock to Utopia. They picked a minority internal demographic, and larger external demographics to villainize. The force of the modern progressive movement in America, for better or worse, is fueled by well-off white liberals. They will happily preach and post about an ideology that paints themselves as victimizers, oppressors, and tyrants, so long is nothing actually comes of it. "Virtue signaling" is the most appropriate term. However if that glorious day comes that the progressive movement is ready to act on their nonsense, it will require the sacrifice of it's largest support base. Not going to happen. All those upper middle class, well-to-do white ladies are Republicans the day the revolution starts. And half of their husbands who provide for their privileged lives by exploiting the evils of capitalisms are already silent conservatives; they just have no inclination to scream about politics with their ignorant partners.

An understandable hypothesis, but not so fast... "I would rather be governed by the first 1000 people listed in the telephone directory, than by the Harvard University faculty." -Wm F. Buckley What on earth was he getting at? Examining one of the most vivid examples, take a look at the rise (and fall) of the Third Reich. The thought leaders driving that movement weren't the disenfranchised plebes, not by a long shot: it was the intelligentsia, the intellectual elite, PhDs, professors, doctors, lawyers--they were the ones nodding along to the rail cars, "showers", and brutal empire building. Same thing is germinating today, on University campuses, hospital systems, corporate governing boards.

Did you watch “The Last of Us” on HBO? There was a love story episode of two dudes, an episode of a blissful/thriving town where everyone is happy and working together (during the apocalypse) who were self proclaimed communists, and the only show focusing on religion was about a self proclaimed white Christian/pastor who raped juvenile women and who also had no problem killing people in his town for food (cannibalism). And if you’re a fan of the show “Fargo” on FX/Hulu, the last season was very much trying to depict that if you’re a white guy, you’re most likely either silly, dumb, weak, or extremely abusive and violent, and that the bad people are the local Sheriff’s department. Oh and the local abusive Sheriff believes in small government, helps arm their local militia, and are also Christian Trump supporters…and that the Feds are always the good people and women are the smart/tough ones and the heroes. I’m so glad that Hollywood isn’t trying to push an agenda.

I'm doing my AA quarterly online training and one lesson describes what to look for to report human trafficking. Who do you report human trafficking to if the government is facilitating the trafficking?

You'll feel better once you realize they aren't flying for free... you're paying for it.

Our bored, spoiled, decadent, hypocritical elites are weather vanes If the world / our countries turn expect them to switch their allegiances quickly https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submission_(novel Satirical novel but plausible given the modern lefts maniacal myopia for power over the traditional right coupled with willful delusion about working with the enemy of civilization Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But but our liberal friends (including some on here), support this so it must be ok. The just caught another dude on the terror watch list at the border. As of October of last year the stopped 169 on the terror watch list....how many got through?

Are we just talking about the random people who make these movies and shows? I think overwhelmingly the people involved with these movements are not true believers, they're just regular people, slightly below average in intellect and well below average on the assertiveness scale, who just look for a movement or ideal to attach to and do so. They were never "social justice warriors" when it was risky or uncomfortable to be one (pre-1960), but now you get all sorts of "likes" and back-patting for changing your profile picture to a black square, so that's what some of the sheep are doing now, including writing shitty TV episodes that are "woke." The right has them too. They are very conservative now that conservatism means nothing in the Big-R Republican party. Cut spending? Yeah sure, but not any of the spending people are actually used to (SS, Medicare, Medicaid, military). Pro police? Hell yeah! But don't raise my taxes to fund them. Get rid of the homeless? Finally! But I'm not going to support government funded mental asylums to house them... It's also why I don't see a real civil war in the US anytime remotely soon. Most of the most vocal partisans will vaporize the moment their beliefs and positions put them at risk. I was seduced into the ideology. I didn't realize what "the leaders" really meant! *I'm* the victim of a cult. I never really believed that in the first place! More likely we will be pulled into a World War of sorts, and the deaths of our young will have a focusing effect on the population. After the first couple judges or politicians or activists are beaten to death in the street for saying something stupid, the rest will fall in line quickly and without protest. That's just what sheep do. I'm not looking forward to it, but there will be some silver linings.

I've wondered the same thing. I've also considered that these people go through life in a constant state of self induced misery and want to drag down rest of humanity to join them in that pit of unhappiness. Or possibly, they have imagined themselves marginalized and must extract revenge on their perceived oppressors. Maybe both.

But it's ok, you don't need guns because those local bad guy police will protect you... oh dang, that makes no sense.

The way I heard it from Boeing when I was at Boeing was they originally submitted the 777-200 cargo for the original RFP but the USAF declined it saying it wouldn't fit in existing hanger, changed the rfp to require the same footprint and let the A300/767 battle begin. The 777-200 apparently crushed every requirement of the original RFP for fuel capacity, cargo capacity and troop transport.

I prefer fake bands. Eddie and The Cruisers were real and Eddie didn't die.

You know, it's getting so cliche in shows/flick when 2 male characters that have zero developed back story and no stereotype behaviors, all of the sudden just start macking and sexing. Today, I'm shocked if it turns out all the dudes in a show are just regular joes. Southpark nailed that shit with their Disney Woke Pandaverse episode.

Best made to date

this is the EXACT strategy the air force needs for any reorganization:

Not exactly F1 but still fun to make fun of Ferrari.
