Who knew inflation was caused by the war in Iraq?

One thing I don’t think a lot of people realize about your Berkeley type nut jobs is that many of them would be pretty similar to this dude if you started asking them what they believe. Yeah this wacko sprinkled in some extra right wing type garbage, but a lot of these crazies have no love for any people in our government. Nothing short of a totalitarian state that only caters to their narrow world view is acceptable to them, and people like Nancy Pelosi aren’t viewed as on their side either. In fact, the Pelosi house has been targeted several times since 2020 with some pretty nasty stuff, this one of course taking the cake. The real thing that people should be looking at here is that the political system in a place like Berkeley, CA let’s losers like this proliferate. Mental illness is not only ignored, it’s often celebrated; and drug use is essentially decriminalized, further fueling the mental death spiral of people like this to the point they feel like acting out on their deranged conspiracy fantasies.

Uncle Joe thinks we have 54 states now. Must be counting his state of dementia in there as well.

Well it’s California, so if they follow their standard he should be back on the street tomorrow.

I have just under 500 hours in one as an instructor. Really fun airplane; super nimble on the controls, but will bounce around a lot in turbulence. Tough for new pilots to get a hang of, but it will make you better at stick and rudder. Glass cockpit with Dynon is pretty nice if you get a new one. The old ones the Dynon stuff is pretty meh. Ours had a chute, which is a nice safety feature in my opinion. A lot of old timers will tell you Rotax is a joke, but I honestly think it’s a great engine. Super fuel efficient and ours was very reliable. Keep it away from avgas and run the appropriate mogas and it will be much happier. Avgas with the lead fouls them up and you have to change the oil a lot more often. Reduction gearbox is also nifty since the engine turns at a much higher rpm than the prop. Our gearbox was reliable but it does need a little extra maintenance attention. Single power lever with rotax is great as well. If you got some experienced guys they’ll just need to adjust to it being an LSA and how light it is, but it’s a good airplane and you’d have a lot of fun with it.

The iconic image of the Biden presidency.

My god dude, you’re missing the forest for the trees here. The hypocrisy isn’t about shipping these people to Chicago vs Vail. The hypocrisy is you drew a moral line in the sand that shipping migrants to Vail Colorado is inhumane. If you feel that’s inhumane, then you need to be outside the White House protesting every single day about the utterly deplorable conditions these people are facing everywhere else on their journey. But you aren’t, and no on the left is, and that’s my entire point! That the left doesn’t actually GAF about these people. No one was “spurred to action” about any single thing involving immigration or migrants until they started showing up or threatened to be delivered to their little enclaves.

This is a good point. How many migrants got shipped to Martha’s Vineyard, 50? How many tens of thousands have likely passed through the border towns?

Copy, so you only care about these people after they're in the country and likely never leaving (and maybe someday voting). Otherwise, as they're dying in the desert or getting abused by human traffickers, "Meh, they did that on their own accord." You're proving my point that the left is full of crap on this issue. You can't cry foul about that being inhumane and then be silent on the freaking open invitation from the current admin to come flooding across the border, and all the inhumanity that entails. The left puts up signs in their yard about how "no human is illegal", cry "inhumane" as these people get shipped to their liberal havens around the country, but the human misery trail to the southern border, nah, we aren't going to say or even do anything about that. I appreciate you want more border security (and I agree with your thoughts there), but saying going to Vail, CO is inhumane but turning around and claiming these migrants did this to themselves under the bridge in Del Rio is frankly textbook hypocrisy. Ultimately the leftist politicians are showing their true colors producing gem after gem that the border problem and the migrants associated with it is supposed to be something that happens somewhere else, and it sure as hell isn't going to taint their little enclaves of "paradise".

Ah, so that's where the left draws the line. Cramming under a bridge in Del Rio, dying in the brutal heat of the desert, being taken advantage of by human traffickers and drug lords; all that's okay, because hey, the people who make it might vote for my team some day! But being sent to some of the wealthiest areas of the country, "Thats inhumane!!!!!" More utterly ridiculous leftist hypocrisy.

Let’s finish that quote for this elected official, “We need to react quickly and do the right thing for these people, and get them the fuck out of our towns and into shitty areas where only people with dark skin live.” Clowns, every last one of them.

No surprise there, openly choosing to lie to push a narrative. I’d bet if you did a poll of leftist folks in this country, many would still believe the people at the border were getting whipped. This continues to be the worst administration this country has seen in a long time, maybe ever? Whether through incompetence, deceit, or a combination of both, it’s incredible how absolutely terrible they are at all levels and in every facet.

Anyone have any recommendations on a personal finance/budget tracking program that will actually update and show the TSP balance? I have been using Money in Excel, which is mediocre at best and due to be unsupported soon. From some research it seems that a lot of the budgeting apps and programs have issues actually connecting to TSP and showing and/or updating the balance.

You would think, but this was also in California. This guy and the other person that jumped on the field were simply ticketed and released.

“We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers are saying, ‘Why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here.” What a gem from Nancy. The leftists continue to show their true colors on how they feel about immigrants.

Ignore and downplay this garbage at your own peril. This is not some annoying side show of worthless CBTs. Ever since 2020 and George Floyd the extreme far left is not afraid to show that a pillar of their political agenda is racial and identity politics. These people are now in positions of power all over the govt and the DoD. They are not doing this out of some goodwill gesture to have a more accepting military force. These folks hate the military; the entire mil structure is a giant sucking chest wound of money that they believe would be better served being poured into social programs. What better way to weaken an entity you hate than degrade it by instilling and indoctrinating as many people to your agenda as possible while simultaneously turning off the main base of talent that the military used to recruit from. A chief of diversity for the Pentagon has legitimately and openly racist tweets from not that long ago towards white people. This is not some FoxNews fantasy, it’s really happening.

Just imagine if any non-Democrat was acting like this as President, how many news broadcasts, discussion panels, and late night comedy shows this would be on, discussing said President’s fitness to serve.

Why has fact-checking disappeared under Biden? | The Hill But of course, the Biden administration never lies. The border is secure, inflation is under control, food prices aren't rising, and Afghanistan was the greatest airlift in history.

The US Border is nearly entirely a federally controlled entity. Kamala claiming border state governors are failing to due their duty is just simply incorrect. This entire problem falls right on the federal government, and most notably Kamala and Joe themselves. How the word “border town” has been thrown around by the democrat elites is eye opening to their disdain for immigrants and those that live in border communities. Democrats are also playing with fire here as the values of the Hispanic community in general don’t align with the woke progressiveness of the New Democrat party.

At least Kamala says the border is secure… It blows my mind that anyone in this country could actually support this administration. What a cluster fuck every…single…day.

The First Order style red and dark background was an interesting aesthetic choice.

Martin Luther King is rolling in his fucking grave.
