Didn't he just get a new contract?

Including the current Prez before he was elected. I wonder if he was able to find the real birth certificate once he was sworn in?

maybe the report will include the servers in Germany and the green berets that died there trying to get it. WTF happened to my party. States rights...when convenient. Law and order...when convenient. Proud Boys running around like Brown Shirts. Don't give whataboutism about Antifa...there's police for dealing with them. Constitution...nah, keep screaming 4-more-years.

How tough is it to get a waiver these days?
Sorry bro, nothing to add. For everyone else: NAMI - Naval Aerospace Medical Institute.

Dude, feel free to spam the thread. I don't think anyone here is gonna go - "Fuck pics of bad ass aircraft."

Concur on most of this, and the stuff I don't I would probably consider a matter of degrees of difference. Here's where I don't agree. "The media" hasn't gone after Barron, or the other kids who aren't in a political office. As a Dad who's literally looking down the future of a son who's not on a right path no matter what I do, I also don't think we hold the Father for the crimes of the son, even if the name was invoked for dirty dealings. My son's said shit to me that I thought sounded ok...found out after it wasn't. I wouldn't do that for Don Jr, an I won't do it for Hunter. I think that the appointment of Trumps kids to political office was reprehensible and should be outlawed by the Legislature in the next session. But again, when the kids are appointed to political positions...fair game.

Have you watched this "footage?" What's the FBI going to go for...taxes, or CP?

So, assuming that the Supreme Court overrides in only those listed states in the argument, and not the other states that Trump won that had the same type of "election changes." What happens next? Majority of people did not vote for Trump either in the popular vote, or in the places where they are contesting. There has still be zero evidence of fraud to claw back a Trump win anywhere. He's engaged in attempting to get legislatures to go against the will of the people that voted. Do you think the run-off in Georgia would go R if that were to happen? I have extreme doubts. Are we looking at a general strike and protests? Are we back at riots? Would the Congress even convene? You couldn't ever get me to attend a protest for BLM, Abortion rights, gay rights, whatever. I could see myself attending one where millions were disenfranchised through no fault of their own.

Again, you get things wrong. It was denied, and Kelly is not in on the new complaint nor has he filed a brief in support of it. Check here.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Had a buddy that did a gig there as SOS instructor. Loved it. However, you're basically forgotten from your AFSC. Depending on the O6's that are coming around some even viewed it as "ditching the career field." You're busy just instructing, while everyone else is "leading." If you're career...why would you ever do that. Lets look at the bios of a statistically significant sampling of O6's and 1-stars...how many have PME instructor as a Capt on there? That said, Maxwell in 2017 was actually really nice. Hard to believe. Article pushes out some interesting ideas. It would make SOS more like ALS, which it basically is now. To claim the instruction there gets down into doctrine, strategy, or anything of lasting value is a lie. Other service school are much longer, and we just don't instruct the same way.

Thanks. I've got folks who've had to unfollow their parents/husbands on social media for stuff like that. Funny seeing it satirized.

That Cyber Thread
So. Whatever was used to get in is going to get burned, or turned over to the Fed for examination and use. Every tool they have is going to get hashed and given to the cybersecurity vendors out there. Be interesting to see if we see any attributable patches to vulns they might have developed. Kinda like WannaCry after the alleged-NSA loss of tooling. Overall...it sucks!

Also, this was just updated, emphasis from your site @Seadogs - "Just hours after the deadline for the petition's deadline, The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a request by Trump ally Mike Kelly, a Pennsylvania Republican, to nullify Joe Biden’s election victory in Pennsylvania. Kelly argued that virtually all of the state’s mail-in ballots were unlawful. The rebuff came without explanation and with no noted dissents."

Considering Texas modified voting rules and procedures in exactly the same way...it's not surprised indicted felon Ken Paxton is doing this. Probably to get a pardon from Daddy Trump from the FBI investigating deep into his taking bribes and abusing office. So was it: unconstitutionality, or hacking, or fraudulent ballots, or flipped votes. I guess they're hoping something sticks to the wall to disenfranchise millions. Meanwhile Lying Ted Cruz, with the ugly wife and assassination Dad, is offering to argue it.

COVID-19 (Aka China Virus)
I know it probably doesn't compare. But I did a new flu vaccine test last year. They tracked me for almost six months, and I had a weekly email to respond to with health status. If I got sick I got some amazon gift cards and...free health care. 😁

That Cyber Thread
So, Here's a cool hack that happened. I think the story illustrates well what I've been trying to discuss in the other threads about capabilities development and utilization. story - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/12/iphone-zero-click-wi-fi-exploit-is-one-of-the-most-breathtaking-hacks-ever/ Blog post - https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/12/an-ios-zero-click-radio-proximity.html (Very long) For those that don't know Project Zero is a Google initiative to get after bugs in software in a very aggressive manner. About page - https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/p/about-project-zero.html These guys are genius level hackers, working with literally unlimited funding going after the biggest names in the business to break their things...and get them patched. The take away - "one person, working alone in their bedroom, was able to build a capability which would allow them to seriously compromise iPhone users they'd come into close contact with." Something to note about software development - having 2 guys work on the same thing doesn't reduce the time by half, or even at all. It can, but is not likely. So, if you're thinking, "Well, the FSB probably has 20 of these guys so they could do it faster." Not really, and they don't have 20 of these guys. There's very few of these guys, and Google pays them 7+ figures. These Project Zero folks are the same people that are trying to get after our voting systems to help protect them, and we have enemies that could be trying to do the same thing to reduce confidence in our democracy. Right now we have no evidence of the later and evidence that they are trying to hack those systems isn't evidence that they have. Cyberops is tied very heavily into Intel, and there's legit concerns about Intel gain/loss and weapons loss that we and our enemies go through. As I said in the other thread, if the National Security Orgs had a wiff of this going on, we'd be hearing something about it. Probably from the President himself, because he can't shut his mouth about it. Think about what would happen the first time this bug dropped, and apply that to the election.
