Didn't remember that. Thanks.

So, I’m absolutely torn on this because I absolutely can’t stand Greene, and as McConnell said, she’s a cancer on the Republican party, but I fear the Dems don’t understand the Pandora’s box they’ll open if they remove a GOP member in the minority straight down the party line. They’ll really regret it once/if the Republicans ever take the majority back... Greene sucks and McCarthy should have censured her, held a vote to internally handle her dumpster fire in the making, but the Dems are making a mistake if they remove her.

Dude, Seadogs, you made bail after the riot?! That was crazy man, crazy... In what way does anything I’m saying hinge on my skin color? If I’m black it’s legit, if I’m not I should stop talking?

Sure thing... Black people should not be afraid of the police. Copy. They have nothing to worry about. Parents should stop having "the talk" with their kids. Oh, sorry, I meant black parents because white parents don't do that. Nobody is cherry picking anything. The unending amount of supporting data showing that the protests (a small handful devolved into riots which are bad in any quantity) over the summer were anything but BS. You and others saying they're BS won't make it so. Maybe I should have been more clear. I wasn't calling you out for down voting things you disagree with. You've never, tht I've seen, done that.

You gave other options, and I’ve written in names in past elections. This was an election where, potentially, every single vote could have made a difference. I feel like writing in some other name would have been akin to throwing it away. I wanted to ensure Trump didn’t make it in because I didn’t do my part. With McCain (American hero, no slight on him there), I didn’t like his politics, but I sure as heck wasn’t voting for Obama. McCain had no hope of winning anyway, so my write-in didn’t hurt him. You comparing the Capitol riots to riots (not excusing them or calling them good) based on demonstrable and verifiable social inequalities is laughable. You’re way above this too man. You’ve put out so many intelligent points over time, that it is weird you’d drop that out there expecting it to land. Riots=bad. We all agree. Capitol Riot was nowhere close to the same thing as the legitimate unrest caused by decades of mistreatment. Go ahead, staunch defenders of the white faith, give me your downvotes. You have very intelligent, die-hard conservatives in here echoing my exact points on what is happening with race relations in this country. I haven’t seen you downvoting Clearedhot when he disagrees with your view that all is right in the land of social equality...

Are you saying Trump represents conservatism? Let's not mince words because that is the implication made here by your statement. Considering him a vehicle for conservative policies, I could see that. Calling Trump conservative is a stretch. He clearly flipped sides to where he thought he'd get the most mileage. There's a difference between showing a career politician who's positions have evolved a flip-flopper, and a man who one second espoused views 180 out from the next second. Trump, for those keeping score falls into the latter category.

Pretty sure his response was not simply stating a "fact". But YMMV.

Please state intentions... What point are you trying to make, or what drove you to trying to be the adult in the room here?

That is an absurd statement. Period, dot. And Hagar? Knowing her personally, I'll just go ahead and agree to disagree...

Can you reword that please? I'm not sure which side, if any, you're trying to defend/attack.

True, and I think nsplayr is right. If you're offered it, turning it down on some principle that your "more in need parents, sister, whoever" hasn't gotten it yet won't magically put that dose in the arm of your loved one. Don't actively seek to cut in front of a group more in need, but don't turn it down if offered...

Does he fancy himself more knowledgeable than every other GOP elected officials? It's simple obstructionist behavior for zero reason. I can easily see objecting to some, but all? Tool...

That’s ageism, and I'm triggered. How dare you!? Ok, I heartily agree with you!

Obviously not all 75m are ignorant. That goes without saying.

Made a lot of LTs cry behind a closed door, then seen them totally turn things around. Rarely yelled btw, the old disappointed dad routine works miracles. I've also had it not work, sometimes you can't fix stupid. I love this last sentence. We have to invest in them at all times, until they've proven that it just isn't worth it anymore. There's a chasm between that and career ending paperwork though.

Problem is now people like Greene and Gaetz. They truly do not care they're destroying any vestige of what was the GOP. You watch, they will burn this mf'r down not realizing the damage they will do to the country. Romney, Cheney, Kinzinger, et al are eating poo sandwiches because people are still pandering to the whipped up base of ignorant voters Trump duped.

Kinzinger probably stopped posting in here because he lost faith with the amount of Trump Apologists in here. Dude's the real deal!

You shouldn't get it then. Clearly that individual is more informed than you😂

I disagree, with the caveat that it only matters if he's being genuine. We need leaders that talk more from a place of genuine care for the Airmen. Someone who explains a thought process will get more respect and buy-in than a GO who has a chance to talk to people and takes the tack you just laid out.

Dude, reread my first sentence! I've made no statement as to her awesomeness or not as press secretary... My comment was fairly straightforward, I took issue with your posting that specific link as if it were somehow damning evidence of her duplicity. I also allowed for exceptions with the "I don't know rule"... Same as you, I took issue with "I don't know" when working a SAR or CASEVAC, TIC, etc. I have faith you were an excellent leader and cared for your people deeply. It shows through still. That's what blows me away sometimes when you post that garbage clickbait link. Second link you posted, valid kill, first one hurts your credibility. I know you couldn't care less about what I think of you on some internet forum, but that was beneath your typical standard. That's my saved rounds for the debrief...

"That's the way we've always done it" were some of the only words that ever made me get angry with any of my peeps. People constantly bemoan change until gradually that change becomes the norm, and hence, the "way we've always done it". I used to ask anyone who told me that if there was nothing we could do better, why do things still suck in their ops/training/etc?

Don't know the guy, so no clue if he's genuine or not, but those are some great words at least. Regardless of his sincerity, people thinking about staying need to pay heed to the message.

Let me be clear, I'm not saying she is great, or even good. My comment goes more to the statement that this is the most cringe moment. Would you rather she rip into the press Corp, call them stupid, then lie to them? What am I missing here? Someone doesn't know a decent answer, tries to find it in the moment, acknowledges they don't have a good answer, then says they'll get back to them with it. That's cringe? I ask this sarcastically because I think I know the answer to this, but were you one of those WG/CCs that expected answers regardless? I don't know wasn't acceptable? Based on the character you've shown here I highly doubt you'd tear into someone over an answer like that. Maybe the timelines, but saying I don't know is acceptable with some exceptions. But you guys are right, let's get Conway, Spicer, Huckabee, or that last nitwit Trump had back out answering questions with lies... I'll add this caveat, maybe there's some context I'm missing here, but based on what you've shared, this looks ridiculously petty.

If Republican and Democratic reps didn’t blacklist each other for crossing the aisle and actually legislating we wouldn’t have this problem. They stopped actually doing their jobs a long time ago, so Bush, then Obama, then Trump, and now Biden have way too much authority to act via EO. Honestly, why not use the tools provided? That’s not a statement of support for Biden, just a simple observation. If one part of the government isn’t going to do anything, why not get as much of it done on your own as you can? Also, If he maintains the pace, ok, something to be worried about, otherwise, he has a long way to go before it’s problematic. Back to the legislature not doing its job, I don’t predict much will change... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Don't disagree with the evils of Wall Street. I went back to look at his text. He said some of these people probably committed felony market manipulation. I understand the big picture in those words, but I won't pretend to understand the nuances found therein
