Yeah... But.... She's pretty hot.

Got it. I definitely did not hit a nerve. Thanks for clearing that up 😂🤣

Who hit a nerve? 😘

Honey, put your dick away. If you're too emotionally invested in this to read simple commentary, then you're probably not worth talking to at all. But for the fun of it: the simple reality is that there are a metric fuck ton of incredible people who have done incredible things after being shot, and all but a very small few of them went home or into the ground without a medal of Honor. Now maybe you've never read any medal of Honor citations, but I have. The bar isn't just high, it's in fucking low earth orbit. Maybe this guy deserves it. But for better or worse we have a president who believes any and every institution, convention, tradition, and norm should be upended for his own vanity and glamor. And if that means he can get a medal of Honor attached to his Venezuela mission, he's going to do it by any means necessary. That attaches a very real and very unfortunate skepticism to this particular citation. You can sit at home with your thumb up your ass and not think about it, but I choose to. And since you're on a message board where a bunch of people talk about shit like this, I will take your "aggressive STFU" and file it with some of the other asinine things you said here over the years. XOXO

In all seriousness, the threshold for getting an MoH as a living serviceman is incredibly high. And there's not one shred of doubt in my mind that this administration would happily violate the customary burdens for qualification so they could say that their operation had one more piece of flair on it. If the guy lives up to the standard set by previous recipients, then by all means. But getting shot and continuing the mission is not enough. And unfortunately for that pilot, everybody knows Trump is going to be pushing this as hard as he can, regardless of whether or not he deserves the medal.

Lol. Sure you would have. You're just old and lame now. I don't know many rowdy young men who wouldn't want to say they chugged beers with the FBI boss.

Sounds like typical big tech. We want those sweet DoD dollars, but we want to pretend like we stand for world peace and non-aggression. Fuck them. They should feel privileged to serve the military that created the world they profit so richly in.

I've been playing around with Openclaw, and it's a pretty cool glimpse into the future. I'm building my personal AI assistant, and with only conversational text, it's programmed custom flight monitoring scripts to track my airline flights, and a "crew journal" that will extract my trips them dig down to the flights and get the crew members I flew with, then after I land it'll all me if I want to record any notes about anyone. Then the next time I go to fly, it'll recap my previous entries about the crew member so we can resume the conversation instead of playing the awkward-intro game every time we fly together. No coding, just tell it what you want. It definitely benefits from the user having a coding background, because you know what to ask for. But that won't be the case in a couple years.

Thank you for proving my point in the very next post. Again, I look forward to your candidacy. But we both know that you're not going to do a damn thing but complain. Disgruntled indeed.

Because you read what you want to see, not what people actually said. Who said it's ok? You go ahead and piss into the wind on principal, looking for honorable politicians that don't exist and probably never did. I'll vote for whatever non-hypothetical option gives my kids the best chance at living in a world where the USA is still the top dog. You want to give people a better option, great, I can't wait to see your campaign! But sitting around here claiming moral superiority, which is exactly what you're doing, because you choose to inhabit a reality that doesn't exist and can accomplish nothing is pathetic, and questioning people's honor and service is a new but unsurprising low for you.

Just read the username. He's not hiding the ball. You'll find nothing interesting under that rock 🤷‍♂️

It would be fucking wild if the first president in decades to take national defense seriously was a reality TV show host.

This is what happens when you hire people into your administration based solely on their celebrity status. Pretending like these people have any appreciation for the Constitution or conservative rights more broadly is naive. They are where they are because they exist only to accrue power and fame. It's why so many of them switch parties when they become pariahs in their own. Trump is a good example. He has a very specific set of issues and policies that he cares about, and frequently steps on a conservative landmine on issues he doesn't care about, like gun control. Then his base loses their mind, and he quickly pivots on that issue to align more conservatively.

It's kind of a weird flex to criticize me for asking for Cliff's notes, then giving me the Cliff's notes. So, thanks? I guess? I agree there is some interesting stuff in there, in isolation. Certainly about Elon, who has been unstable at best since he became famous. Considering silicon valley has rather poorly hidden secret regarding parties loaded with sex and drugs, it would not surprise me at all if Elon was an eager participant. But as with all things, you are once again picking very specific parts of a story and putting them together to craft the narrative you want. Elon wanting to go to sex Island is only a scandal if Jeffrey Epstein was sharing his underage victims with Elon. Bill Gates getting an STD from a Russian whore is only interesting if the Russian whore was underage and Hates knew it. Donald Trump raping a minor will certainly be interesting, if it is substantiated. Kind of remarkable how in a world where even the Chinese couldn't keep their coronavirus fuck up a secret, somehow Jeffrey Epstein was able to maintain a clandestine underage sex extortion operation, without so much as a single shred of confirmable evidence, long after he was dead. But can we please stop pretending like an allegation is anything more than that? Should an allegation be investigated? Absolutely. And from the looks of it everything you posted was investigated already. My entire adult life, starting with my time at USAFA, has been plagued by "experts" with an axe to grind insisting that 90% of sexual encounters for women are rape. If she's had a drink? Rape. If she's a subordinate? Rape. If she didn't give you verbal affirmative consent? Rape. If she regretted the encounter the next day? Rape. Also: A woman would never lie about being raped. A woman would never use sex to get ahead in her career. A woman who used sex to get ahead in her career would never lie about it if the relationship was discovered... It's all absolute nonsense. But like everything else in politics today, if it's good for your team, you'll ignore every shred of common sense you once had and pray the story, no matter how absurd, is somehow true. You know, like that woman who claims to have been raped in a department store, but doesn't exactly remember when and doesn't exactly remember how and doesn't remember exactly where? Even though that alleged rape so thoroughly ruined her life, according to her own testimony, she couldn't remember any details that would have actually helped in substantiating her claim. Same goes for all the good MAGA Christians I know who insisted that Donald Trump is really a good man, and Stormy Daniels was just making that story up for more attention. Normally I would say let's do a full investigation of the incidents you posted here from the latest document dump. But there's already been an investigation. These women have already been milked for every drop of information, and both you and I know damn well that if there was anything even remotely substantiated in any of these claims, Donald Trump would have been publicly crucified a long time ago. There is simply no universe where the Democrats would have sat on this information. So no, I don't support another investigation because it's painfully clear at this point that the investigations are being used as just another tool to win elections. You either know that, or you are every bit as stupid as you sound online. It's also fucking stupid to tell another person that they should be reading mountains of evidence released by the justice department. Are you kidding me? Is your life really so empty and boring that you have time to do something like this, that will have no effect on anything or anyone anywhere anytime? Jesus Christ man, learn to knit. At least then you'll have some socks and a lot less mental anguish. I already spend more time on my phone than I should, when I should just be playing with my toddlers, and you think I should spend even more time "doing my own research" about the most investigated conspiracy in modern history? No thanks. I have every confidence that you'll bust the case wide open without my help 🤣😂

Cliffs' Notes? It's pretty low on my list of priorities, but I'm sure whatever was in there must have been real devastating if I'm only hearing about it on this forum...
