    Agree on Sullivan and I like Blinken as well. Yellen is excellent at Treasury, she never should have been replaced at the Fed, although Powell is also good...their policies & philosophy seem very similar. Haaland and Vilsack are quiet A- players in their jobs. Linda Thomas-Greenfield is great at the UN.

    Overall some hits and some misses, as usual. Hoping that a second term brings some fresh faces in some key positions!

    Pure. Delusion.

     

    i hope you aren’t in charge of any people or weapon systems.

    Please be sarcasm.

    After seeing just a few clips of the January 6th footage that came out today, Adam Kinzinger needs to rot in hell.  You know he had all this info from the Jan 6th Committee. He stood by and watched fellow veterans being persecuted by their government.  Absolute piece of shit.  I would refuse to share a cockpit with him.

    Solid point.  The crowd was dovish and peaceful and .gov were the extremists that day.  Oh, but one question.  Are we considering the bombs in this calculus, or just the guns?  I mean, yeah, they were too stupid to set an egg timer properly (not surprising given the demographic), but does that mean we put it on the scoreboard as a zero?  Not so sure.  Maybe we should rope in some other opinions on this one?

    FTFY.  Seek help.

    You started so well.  The “bomb” you’re referencing is the pipe bomb that someone hid near the DNC?  The one the FBI, in a city with probably the most cameras per capita in the US, can’t seem to figure out who planted it.  Nah, smells like a Fed op…

    Babbitt was out of line, sure.  But not “clean kill” out of line.  Especially with riot cops literally 10 feet behind her.  So I guess we’ll disagree on this point…

    Seek help.  Is that like “do better”?

    Governments should be afraid of, and work for, their people, not the other way around.

    Agreed.  Jan 6th showed that the .gov is indeed scared of the people.  And the only guns fired in anger that day were by the government.

    And Adam Kinzinger donated to the pig who murdered Babbitt.  There’s a special place in hell for his breed.

    I just got my pay stub for May.  I'm a 3rd year NB FO at a mAAjor.  Line holder bidding about 75%.  I made $22,579.40 with the 16% DC. That's  prob more than the COS made in May.  Caveat...I had a week of vacation and still flew a little more than normal.

    The fact that fuckhead Fingers thinks he has standing to negotiate my fucking pay after I served 10 years pisses me off to no end.  It should piss you off too.  The disconnect is unreal.  Fuck off Fingers.  For all of you even looking at the fence much less sitting on it, NOW is the time to get out.

    Are you forgetting the most majors have a defined contribution of 15-16%? Some still have retirement plans (Fedex and UPS).  If I worked as much at the airline as I did on AD, I'd easily be breaking $200k/year without the DC.  I'm 3 years into my airline career.

    I wouldn't put all my eggs in the Tricare for life and retirement basket just like I don't put all my eggs in my airline basket.

    God bless HPOs!  I literally didn't do anything my last year in the AF.  Every time I was asked to do something, I would say "I can't help you, but I'm sure Capt HPO can help".  They will get the credit either way, might as well let them do the work.

     

    On a side note, after being pushed around by scheduling, marveling at the ineptitude of my union, or sitting through a painful red-eye, I come back here and realize just how much better my life is now.  I am thankful.
