No, you're supposed to be cranky that the US gov is shitting on due process.

I don't think the people there are that stupid. They're saying whatever they think is politically expedient. They're trying to reverse globalization.

Awesome

If Trump actually throws down the tariffs he's talking about, the delusion is that Vance would be remotely close to electable. "It the economy, stupid."

No that is actually what the theory is. The eligibility to run as VP is the sticking point. The work around is Fauci level jail house lawyer shit. But that is what a certain part of the "new right" is thinking.

Purses at dawn!

Nah. Shrewd staff work to get the funding.

In sum sortie count and variety of experience is what matters, the hour count just happens. And I agree.

Ok fine, ignoring Pitt, and not arguing with a heavy guy about flight hours. Nothing about this accident screams "caused by inexperience." Your point is the procedure is dumb, which it is. Because it's fucking dangerous no matter how experienced the crew is. Her hours are irrelevant.

Except that is exactly what Pitt was doing. When actual evidence is to the contrary.

Stop. You don't know anything about the Army or what an RLO's primary duties are. You don't know what a "normal" amount of flight hours for an Army officer are in right now. You don't know anything about this person. You are pulling your un-informed, vapid internet opinions out of your ass.

Yeah, and to be fair to them, the GOP hasn't been the party of small government in a long time. They're like the party of different big government. I mean we might get some wins amongst the poop sandwich that is the trump administration, but it ain't gonna be roses the whole way down.

Just so everyone is on the same page. This is a continuation of a previous cut, right? So spending cuts are required to prevent a tax increase. While increasing the deficit and saying you're decreasing it. Anyways Continue flinging poop at each other boys!

Is anyone surprised the organization that made people take photos of their wives off of desks would also over-react here? The DoD only knows bang-bang control logic.

I have a Henry Big Boy X in .44mag. It's slick, fun, and not accurate at all. It'll shoot hot ammo reasonably (assuming you don't want to shoot past 50 yards or so), but the softer stuff is atrocious. I haven't gotten a can for it yet, but that's the plan. I basically wanted a lever gun that looked like it came out of the Fallout computer game.

Please vomit all over all the threads. It's super useful.

There's providence, and then there's just plain gullibility.

NATO's job: Keep the Russian out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.

Every developed nation is basically broke, with collapsing demographics. But also, AI potentially replacing lots and lots of office work. The future is weird.

I'm not sure US debt default is the actual problem looming. Other nations would have to stop buying US debt, and they're all in worse financial situations than we are. I'm pretty sure you're just using "default" to generally mean economic calamity, which I am sure is coming. What happens if the US is always the least drunk of the sailors on a spending spree?

Social Security insolvency, otherwise maybe after the boomers all die off. Gen X is small enough that it might not be complete political suicide. Might.

Did you guys ever actually think reducing the deficit was going to happen in this administration? He took entitlement reform/cuts off the table long ago.

Screen grab from Youtube. Just thought some of you would appreciate the visual.

I guess I'm stepping outside the thing I said I'd stay inside. Fair enough. My point was about leverage and trust. In that case, back to what defines regional. In this case my point was leading towards a defensible land border. Which would define the "region" as I'm thinking.
