From the article “Here we are, trapped in the sky with our 8-month-old unmasked baby (you can’t actually mask a baby that young) under the supposition that everyone who can be masked would be masked, and the flight 325 crew has taken our choices away from us,” one Twitter user said. “Very very angry about this.” So apparently, if you give people the choice to wear masks or not, you’re actually “taking away choices” from others. This only makes sense if you’re a progressive.

Go read some FB comments concerning the news story on the “mainstream news outlets”…the progressives are upset at the ruling and believes that this will kill people. Oh and they say that the federal judge shouldn’t even be a judge (was “unqualified”), people that won’t wear masks are selfish, blah blah blah. Same nonsense people have been spewing on here for the last 1.5-2 years.

Last year the dude literally said if he were a commander he would seeks out and look forward to giving out Art 15s to those members who weren’t wearing a mask but had not had the covid shot (back when that was a thing). Take this as you will…

Just curious, is your confusion new or has it always been there regarding a single federal judge’s ability to strike down a federal law/rule? Reason I’m asking is because this has been happening as long as I’ve been following politics and I’m kind of old. As for why did it take this long, who knows. If I had a guess it’s because of the standard bureaucracy of our government, but I’m sure it also has to do with the mood of the country, the timeline of the mandates, etc.

The fact that the Biden admin isn’t appealing the judge’s decision to stop the mask mandate means they know they would lose, the masks don’t work, and/or it’s not popular to do so. Sad that it’s taken so long for a majority of the American public to get to this point.

the FAs can always wear N95 masks if they’re really worried and believe that masks work. Or they can just refuse to fly.

Big tech doubles down on the nonsense pushed by the left… https://www.foxnews.com/us/apple-iphone-update-pregnant-man-gender-neutral-emoji?cmpid=fb_fbn&fbclid=IwAR0P3K1Hi6pTsdbDY2hNt0eGJKJ1vNhu3MHFsCNSrweyoawhv-EbrtwefD0

It will never be enough, and that’s by design. Telling a certain group of people that they’re not doing well because of racism, bigotry, etc and that one political party/philosophy will solve it equates to votes/power/money…so it can never end/be completed. Similarly, take a look at the NFL. The left is literally saying that the NFL is racist…the NFL.

Saw ‘Nightmare Alley’ on HBO Max last night. Wasn’t sure what it was/what to expect since my better half said she wanted to watch it, but had some good character development and some twists throughout. Worth watching.

I’m not exactly sure of their strategy? Maybe Nsplayr can give us an honest opinion? I truly think it’s just that the far left wing of their party (AOC types) are controlling the agenda and message. AOC has literally said the key their success is the party going further left.

What are the odds of us being back in masks on base before November? I give it better than 50/50.

8.5% inflation reported (I’m sure the real number is much higher)…and Biden and the Dem’s focus is on higher taxes, more government spending, and more regulations on energy. Oh, and making sure kindergartners are being taught about gender identity.

According to progressive law makers it has a barrel shroud, which is “something that goes up”… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WhNkIsP59pM

This is why the Florida bill is necessary…and I don’t see how this stuff is a winning message for the left this fall. Until we get rid of public (ie government schools that indoctrinate kids) funded by forcing people to give up their wealth to fund such schools, then banning this kind of indoctrination of very young children is the next best thing. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/new-jersey-second-graders-learn-gender-identity-alarming-parents

I want to know more about this $2K “Assault Rifle”. How did these guys obtain it, when they pay their $200 tax stamp, and where can I get a legal $2K assault rifle?

Trump had his AG launch appoint a special counsel to investigate the fake “Trump Russian Collusion”. For some reason I doubt Biden will do the same for his financial involvement with his son’s corrupt financial dealings.

Saw ‘Uncharted’ this evening with my better half. Thought (hoped) it would be a little bit better, but it was decent I guess…corny at times and of course a lot of the action scenes were a little over the top for what they were trying to do. Not nearly as good as when I saw the first ‘National Treasure’ 15+ years ago.

Just stop man. If you’re going to make a point by discussing bias (that you don’t agree with) and not even address your own biased source when called out, then the conversation is dead.

Says the guy who recently shared an article written by Matt Yglesias…who co-founded Vox, and has written for The Atlantic, Slate, and Think Progress. Yeah, no “pronounced bias” there. https://www.vox.com/authors/matthew-yglesias

I mean, you can’t be a military pilot and ‘not’ see Top Gun 2. I’m old enough that I remember seeing the original when it first hit the theaters. Hindsight, it wasn’t really appropriate for a young middle-school kid to hear all the swearing and see Tom Cruise thrusting and french kissing Kelly McGillis. I heard Cleared Hot and M2 saw the original as well when it first hit the theaters…right after they both retired from the Air Force, so it probably brought them back some good memories of being in the military.

I’m against all subsidies for businesses, energy or otherwise. Not sure where I said I fossil fuels do or do not receive subsidies?

We will screw ourselves financially as a country before we run out of fossil fuels. And unnecessary government spending on anything has put us into unrecoverable debt, whether that’s on windmills or a useless government studies . But what’s fascinating is that you just agreed that the debt is a massive problem (“unrecoverable” using your words) and yet you’re still advocating for government spending to reduce using fossil fuels for our energy needs.

Or this… https://www.usdebtclock.org It’s a good thing that bad monetary/economic policies have never negatively impacted nations.

I’m actually very left on a lot of issues (I’m for legalizing all drugs, prostitution, thinks you should be able to marry whatever consenting adult(s) you want, doesn’t want religion in public sectors, etc). What I am not is progressive or pro-big government (synonymous). I’m also against the conservatives who love big government as well…they’re the Lyndsey Graham warhawk types. As for China, I’m all for trade, just like I am with Russia. But when we pick and choose what forms of tyranny/bad government we will accept vs not-accept, then it’s makes future arguments meaningless when not wanting trade for those same reasons. Does anyone else think it’s hilarious that we find what Russia does horrible but accept Iran and their tyranny? Iran has literally said they don’t believe Israel should be able to exist and yet we want some “Iran Nuclear Deal”? Just be consistent for crying out loud. Or is it because Iran hasn’t done anything perhaps?…other than attack our consulate in Iraq, for recent examples. But the US loves to control what happens outside of our borders, even when we often make things worse. Trade with Cuba is bad but trade with Vietnam is ok. Blows my mind.

They were happy with high gas prices, regardless of how it arrives…I doubt most of these progressives you mention are living paycheck to paycheck. I mean, why don’t these poor people just buy really expensive electric vehicles? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-high-gas-prices-are-a_b_6855142 https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5378487
