The ONLY thing the left did for the last 4 years was sow distrust in the Trump administration. I agree with everything else you said.

I know there is a Tulsi thread on BO.net but I think it’s more relevant to the many conversations going on here. She touches on a lot of topics in this interview and speaks of her personal experiences in DC. I also applaud her courage to speak like she does. It can’t be easy.

No other post on this thread better highlights what is wrong with politics today. This type of response and thought process is exactly why our nation will continue to drift farther and farther apart. People would rather be intellectually dishonest than give an ounce of credit where credit is due.

That’s exactly right and its a great point. I am always suspicious when the language used to describe a topic changes. Like global warming/climate change or gun control/gun safety.
-
Does that apply to the homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, sexist, racist and bigoted Nazis on the right as well?

Chief Traficante was not only a crew chief, he’s been a FE on E model Hercs and a load on E’s, H’s and J’s. He was the load functional at the Guard Bureau and did OGV stuff at AMC. If I’m not mistaken he was a fire fighter in a major dept as well.

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

Here you guys go. You now have your very own spot to argue. It’s your spot and yours alone. Have it here so the rest of us can enjoy what baseops is supposed to be about. Lloyd

Girls girls. You are both pretty.

This is an example of why I have a problem with the LGBTQA+ movement. When DOMA was challenged in 2013/2015, we were told that this was about two loving monogamous people just trying to have equal rights under the law IRT marriage. I have said all along that this was not the case. This is not, never was and never will be simply about "rights". It is about taking a wrecking ball to our society and its views on the traditional family and traditional norms. We are seeing it play out every day now with the war on pronouns, the transgender movement, etc. And this all comes after DOMA was ruled unconstitutional. This is why I have a huge issue with the left. The left is never honest about what they are REALLY after. You see it in every movement on the left whether it is gay rights, the climate, gun control, economics, health care, etc. All that to say that I do not personally have a problem with gay people. Our 19 year old daughter is in the process of coming to terms with her sexuality. My wife and I have known since she was probably 10 that this was going to be something she would struggle with. As Christians, we have struggled with navigating this mightily. We support her and love more than anything else in life. Our message and guidance to her has been to not let her sexuality define her. More than anything, I want her to be a honest, productive, educated, hard working member of society who loves who she loves. We don't support things like rainbow stickers, flags or shirts that promote sexuality one way or the other. And she gets it. She doesn't throw anything related to her sexuality around. She just is who she is.

The dirty career officials in the FBI really left the FBI in a bad spot after the Comey news conference in 2016 declaring Hillary innocent. I doubt they will speak out pre-election for fear of having the same thing happen again. And like you said, it is an ongoing investigation.

It seems to be a given now that the federal government has all of the answers. We have completely lost sight of the fact that we are a nation of States and the States have rights. We see that in the response to the Rona. Each State is different and has it's own unique challenges. Health care is no different. That means that some States will win and some will lose if the feds end up running health care.
-
Yes it is. Our country's infrastructure is an embarrassment. And is not due to a lack of funding. The same would be said if the gov ran our health care system.
-
Imagine the US government running the health care system!!! Haha! What is the worst that could happen??? The damn government can't even maintain our roads... Open up the free market and let it loose on our health care system.
-
There is a difference in the government covering health care costs for service members/their families and people that are not employed by the US government. The US government is not responsible for the health care for ALL citizens. FWIW, I had to read your post over and over again to see if I was missing something. Are you really advocating on a military forum for the gov to not pay for health care of service member's dependents because they did not sign up for military service? And that they are not critical for national defense and security?
-
It doesn't. Even if health care is believed to be a "right", the gov doesn't subsidize any of our other rights provided by the constitution. Why should health care be any different? Especially when so many of us do not take care of ourselves.

NYC Steel Workers Union < China/Ukraine IRT leverage. I do not believe Trump is the most honest person out there. I can promise you that. However, I do not think it is fair to compare a businessman to a career politician who used his position in government to generate wealth for himself and his family. Same for the Clintons, Obamas and any member of the GOP that has done the same.
-
I agree with what you said. However, as the starting point in regards to the Joe/Hunter Biden issue, can we all agree that career politicians becoming multi multi millionaires during and after their time in office is something that raises any number of serious questions that need answered? Let's agree on that and go from there. Folks on both sides like to throw out the "term limits" issue. I wholeheartedly agree that we need term limits for folks just like Joe Biden. There is absolutely no way you can spend almost 5 decades in DC and not be wrapped up in endless backdoor deals where someone, somewhere now has leverage on you. In this case it would seem that China and Ukraine potentially hold the leverage. Dirty money, kickbacks and bribes become normal to people like Biden who have been there that long. Hell, he probably no longer sees anything wrong with it because it has gone on so long. I just don't see how anyone can deny the fact that Biden is surrounded by shady issues. Just look at his houses. He bought a 10,000 square foot house in 1974. In 1996 he built a house on 4 acres that is almost 7000 square feet. All this while being consistently listed as one of the poorest members of the senate. I just don't buy the book sales and speaking fees line anymore. Call me cynical, I just don't. Sim posted a video that details Biden's plagiarism and lies about school. While it may not be surprising and good for a laugh or two, it shows what his character is like. He is willing to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead in politics. That is what dirty politicians do.

I agree with this. However, the flip side is exactly true and defines where we are as a country. The left is driven further left by Trump. At the same time, the right is driven further right by the Clintons, Obamas, Sanders, Pelosis and Bidens of the world. They are the reason we ended up with Trump. The Democratic Party owns the vast majority of the bullshit that is going on right now or has gone on in the last few years. They own the violence in major cities, BLM, Antifa, the defund the police movement, the identity politics, The Squad, the Russian Collusion hoax, the impeachment, the Kavanaugh hearings, Epstein, Weinstein, Carlos Danger, the cancel culture, the media and the mishandling of the Virus response/endless lockdowns on the state level.

I remember speaking to climate scientists during non flying days while supporting Deep Freeze missions in Antarctica. I wanted to go directly to the source and pick their brains. I even visited a couple of their labs and offices to see exactly what they were doing down at McMurdo over the couple months that I was there. One of the things they said that stuck out most to me was how inaccurate their historical data was in regards to temperature readings and CO2 levels. Where on the planet were the readings taken? What specific type of instrument was used to take the readings? What time of the year were the readings taken? How was the data recorded decades ago? Who took the measurements and what are their motives? Frequency and consistency were the biggest concerns. These scientists were talking about data from just the last 5-7 decades...
