    As much as I love the Buff...I can't believe at some point we did not opt for relatively off the shelf modded out 757 or something similiar to be a cruise missile truck.  The Navy kinda-sorta did it with turning a 737 into a P-8.  Why not us?

    Wouldn’t you be unemployed then?

    Apparenttly these comments qualifiy as derogatoary, unprofessional, and is a 'microaggression'.  And we're surprised at the professionalism of young enlisted and Lts...

    The first sergeant concluded his email by reminding them about former NBA superstar Michael Jordan’s habit of appearing at press conferences in a suit and tie, even without a dress code requiring it.

    "He was never seen with a gaudy chain around his neck, his pants below his waistline, or with a backwards baseball hat on during public appearances,” Parish said.

    What’s more concerning is the undermining of a military force O-6’s, GO’s, and E-9’s do to maintain a fucked up political correctness.

    From the link you just posted: "Rosenstein said there is no allegation in the indictment that any American was a knowing participant in the scheme, nor is there any allegation that the scheme affected the outcome of the election."

    Two questions: are you prepared to concede POTUS was not in cahoots with Russia to alter our election?  And, ref the portion of your quote I bolded, do you think this process has restored faith in gov institutions?  Because my faith in DOJ/FBI has been significantly degraded.

     

    Actually being in cahoots with the Russians and possibly lying saying you knew nothing of the interference and/or trying to prevent investigators from finding out about your direct involvement, knowledge, and possible role in the interference are vastly differently things.  Nixon wasn't in the Watergate hotel planting recording devices yet he still told us he wasn't a crook and quit being President before was impeached.  Weird.

  4. I’m 2-0 in divorces. It’s them, not me...of course.  Follow these steps:

    • Make sure she doesn’t have any access to any of your money.  
    • Don’t trust anything she says.
    • Get a lawyer with regard to family law (www.avvo.com).  Your local JAG can give you free legal advice and/or referrals to some civilians.
    • Don’t say crazy shit on social media.  If she says crazy shit on social media, make copies of it.
    • Hit the gym.
    • Don’t force people to “pick sides.”  If you want to talk about it, talk about it, but you’ll much better off not bad mouthing her to mutual friends.

    We didn’t have kids, which makes it 169% easier.  If you gave her the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, you can revoke it back to you.  Good luck, it’s starting over, but it’s nice.

    I agree sort of, where is the ample proof?  If the media just repeats it 1000 times makes it true?  Look, I'm all about sticking it to the Russians (sts) even for no good reason, but blaming a DNC hack (spyware I believe it was) on hacking the whole election is a bit much.  She wasn't going to win.

    Newt Gingrich led a Republican House lynch mob to impeach Clinton over his relationship with Lewinsky.  Which wasn't what got Clinton impeached, that was the obstruction of justice and making a false official statement, and also led a Republican lynch mob against Gingrich the next year and forced him to resign.

    So, if lying and obstructing justice for a blowie will get you impeached, lying and obstructing justice about a foreign adversary manipulating the U.S. Presidential election will probably get you impeached also.  And if history repeats itself from 1998-1999, Trump will be impeached for obstruction and/or making a false official statement.  It most likely, just like the two previous Presidents prior that were impeached, won't be approved by the Senate.  However, it'll cost the Republican seats in the House in the next election and Trump will ride out his term, but not run/or be elected for the next term.

    Whenever Nunes is asked the question, "What was the White House's role in the House Intelligence Committee's Republican Report" he either dodges the question, or drops into carefully lawyered scripted statements that says "well the Republican's didn't draft any part of the report."

    Here’s a question: What place does any discussion about Hillary Clinton have in an argument about whether Donald Trump and his administration are fit to govern?  Seriously, I see this all the time and it bugs the shit out of me. Trump is the president of the United States. Hillary is a private citizen. If she is guilty of a crime, try her and dole out whatever punishment is appropriate. Totally separate issue from what’s going on in the White House and does not belong in the same discussion. It’s like trying to pin Iran Contra on Walter Mondale. The Hillary discussion, regardless of whatever merit it may or may not have, is just chaff, meant do distract. I wonder why the administration feels such an urgent need to turn everybody’s heads in some other direction? Trump is the president, not Hillary. Frankly, I don’t give a fuck about what happens to her, what she says publicly, how much she gets paid for speeches, or whether she still gives Bill head. None of that will affect the economy, immigration, crime, US foreign power, or American sovereignty. 

    It’s a straw man argument.  Trump even stated he wasn’t going to go after for criminal charges once he became President.  Trump isn’t going to get in trouble for collusion, you know, the topic his legal team keeps bringing up.  He’s going to possibly get in trouble for obstruction of justice.  You know, the same shit that force Nixon to resign before he was impeached and also the topic that his legal team keeps Heismaning.

    Are we really calling the shady blatantly illegal shit Flynn did a process crime?

    Well if the DOJ doesn't do much to him, he's still part of the UCMJ.  The CAAF ruled last year that retirement is just a "change in status."  Therefore retirees are to be held to the UCMJ and tried for crimes if the Service Secretary recalls them.  The max punishment for Flynn's crime he pled guilty to is five years confinement and a dismissal.  

  8. We are a nation of law, however impeachment was designed by the Framers to not be a legal proceeding, though it’s chaired by the Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, etc. The House was given a lot of latitude by the Framers to decide what “high crimes and misdemeanors” the House wants to prefer towards impeachment towards an elected official.

    Ken Starr was interviewed last week and asked if it comes out that Trump lied to the public, should that be an impeachable offense? He answered yes. Which isn’t surprising because that’s what one of the impeachable offenses he listed in his report against Clinton.

    Yes.  Just like progressives and libertarians don't want illegal aliens deported (just for different reasons).  The sanctions vs no sanctions relate to the same reason Obama wanted to open an embassy back in Cuba.

    Look, if you don't like Trump, then don't like Trump and don't vote for him in 2020.  I just find it funny that those that worshiped Obama as the greatest president ever (they have pictures of him and his family on their FB pages) somehow honestly think Trump is worst person to have ever walked the Earth.  I'll support Trump's decisions when he does something I like and vice versa, same as I did with Obama.  Unfortunately with Obama, there was little to support--at the very least I thought he would have scaled back the NSA, reduced the drug laws, and ended the war in Afghanistan, neither of which happened.

    Well, he did take over when the economy had crashed and he had the stones to call for Bin Laden to be captured or killed.  He also didn't go through cabinet members as fast as Trump, nor did he have a few cabinet member plead guilty to federal crimes.  

    You probably forgot that late 90's Republicans were calling Clinton the worst person in the world for getting a blowie and the obnoxious Ken Starr investigation.

    I don't think Trump will be impeached due to possible collusion with the Russians.  I think the House, to much chagrin to Paul Ryan, will start the impeachment process via obstruction of justice and making false official statements.  If that's the case I don't believe the Senate will approve the charges, much like they didn't against Clinton and Andrew Johnson, however I believe it's going to cost Republicans seats in the 2020 election and the Trump a reelection bid.  You know, the same stuff that Nixon scoffed at around '72-'73 as he ran around obstructing justice and abuse of power until he was resigning two weeks prior to the House preferring impeachment charges against him August of 1974.  At least Obama and Nixon were lawyers and Nixon knew when to quit, Trump's and idiot an doesn't.

    lawfare's a good one.  Rather enjoy the technical analysis of jurisprudence versus everyone's "I saw an episode of Law & Order last night" breakdowns.

    Stay Tuned with Preet is another good one too.
