    I hope that one outcome of this accident is that we start installing more VHF radios in military aviation. I don’t expect every helicopter or fighter to have a VHF radio but certainly this helicopter flying and training in a dense civilian airspace environment should be a priority!

    Did they not have a VHF radio?

    Anyone actually talk to real live Canadians in the last week or so? I have, on both sides of their political spectrum, and man, next time we ask for help, they aren't coming.

    Wait, you mean they might not join us in invading the next country we decide to take over?…kind of like how they decided to not invade the last country we went into?

    I use strong language because its required for fucktarded Trump when he steps on his dick.  Maybe you're OK with his antics.  Maybe you have a line, maybe you don't.  I would hope you have a tolerance level for stupid shit.  Maybe. 

    Here's Rand Paul.  His trip wire was crossed on this, so I'm not the only one.

    I'll go back to sippin cervezas at the pool.  Good luck to us, looks like we'll need it.

    You can’t even provide a prediction of when you’ll think this will happen…but yet you’re actually worried it will happen.  So yes, you’re just being emotional.  It’s easy for me, I’m not concerned at all that it will happen.

    Bud, I don't want to bet that he does it.  I don't want him trying to make that happen at all.  We don't need more reason for the ME to put their hate upon us.  If he does, I imagine Marines in barracks in Beirut. And then we have to respond.  And down the rabbit hole we go.

    Trump pledged America First.  Why can he just stick to that?  What happens in Gaza pretty much stays there, save the silly students that stage a protest at Berkeley.  Why does he need to stick our nose in their shit?  What's the goal, stop the flow of Gazan fentanyl?  Increase the flow of Gazan oil?  What is the US vital strategic importance of Gaza?

    Thus, I want enough Americans, especially MAGAs, to say, WTF dude.

    So you’re so worried that he’ll do it (because you must think he will), but yet you don’t want to bet on your prediction coming true?  When is this going to happen?…that way we can all call you out on your nonsense when it doesn’t happen.
     

    Dude, you’re pretty emotional right now (again).  I recommend you sit a few plays out, seriously.

    Fify.

    PS.  Since you don't seem to disagree with whatever your boy Trump says, tell me you agree to deploy to Gaza.  If retired, you want your F&F/buddies to deploy.  Because that's what it sounds like.

    I’m retired bro lol.  As for people deploying to anywhere for any reason, yeah, that’s part of the job—whether we like it or not.  That all be said, when Trump deploys troops take control of Gaza, I’ll eat my words.  But since you’re so concerned, let’s make a bet if that will happen in the next 1-2 year.   What are your terms?

    Typical trope.  I call out your boy and you call it TDS.  Well, when you blindly follow his shit, I'm gonna call it TEW, for Trump Elephant Walkers.

    My IRS example point is, nobody will be working in the IRS so there's nobody to go after billionaires that cheat on their taxes, let alone me.  Try to keep up here.

    So your original post about not paying your taxes was lame, as I expected…got it.  And you’ve been upset with Trump for several years, so this is just another TDS rant.

    Your post reminded me of this recent nonsense:

    I don't think I'll do my taxes this year and set my withholding to 0.  Who's gonna come after me?  All those IRSers sitting border guard? The govt is getting hollowed out.

    People never tried cheating on their taxes before 2025?  Also, I’m willing to bet a sizable amount of money that you’ll pay your taxes (the IRS cares much more that you pay your taxes, not that you file them)…so your example is as weak as your threat.  Also your TDS is once again noted.

  8. This is much more about reducing the size of government/federal employees than it is getting people back into the office.  But since it’s extremely difficult to fire/layoff a federal employee, getting them to leave on their own sounds like the next best thing.

    Do we really need 2.4 million federal employees?…and that’s not even counting the military or those working for the post office.

  9. For some reason I don’t seem to care what the progressives think about Trump or his team/what they’re doing for the country, when those same progressives over the last decade have told us how evil the US is…

    It’s not bordering vulgar, it is vulgar. These poor souls haven’t even been dead 24 hours yet and this is the topic he wants to bring up in a presser discussing the accident?

    Sounds a lot of like when the left blames the right, gun manufacturers, lack of gun control, etc after a shooting before the bodies are cold.  They sadly both do it and it’s all bad IMO, so I definitely agree with you that this specific one is bad on Trump.  This is the sickness of our politics.

    Weren't they dishonorably discharged?  Didn't think you get disability pay with a dishonorable discharge.

    Pretty sure none were dishonorably discharged, at least for only refusing the shot.

    There are hundreds of tweets showing factory/business parking lots empty due to the deportation fears. 

    I already said I support Trump’s plan, you don’t need to sell me on it…

    End the massive welfare state we have and people will go back to work.  And if we “need” more workers (ie we don’t have any enough citizens to work after the welfare is cut), then we let people in to do those jobs, but with massive conditions. 
     

    Progressives just want new voters…and if you don’t believe me, put up a bill where nonviolent illegal aliens get to stay but they never get to apply for citizenship.  They’ll never go for it.

    For those who lived through the dark ages…DEI bullshit pales in comparison.

    Oh I’ve been aware of Slife the Knife for many years (look at my username).  And yes, we’ve had horrible “leaders” well before DEI came around.  That all being said, I want all of it gone…bad leaders and those who also championed the DEI nonsense.  But let’s not pretend that those who were on board with the DEI crap will suddenly believe that they were wrong all this time…that or they were just “yes men” to whatever way the wind was blowing—either way, it’s bad IMO, and they need to go.  
     

    I’m also waiting for CQ to hopefully get the axe as well.  He and Slife can pack their offices at the same time.

    538 arrests so far including various criminals, gang members, and foreign nationals from China and Turkey. 

    The real question…why weren’t they deported under Biden?  Is it that Biden and the Dems literally didn’t want to remove these horrible people?

    Well, that'll about cover the Nazi flyby.  But really, dude should know better.

    With Vivek departing Doge and it's just Elon in this made up, no public overnight, do what I want office, I give it until Thanksgiving before Musk and Trump become bitter enemies.  Elon ditched Vivek pretty quickly, and his ego has to be bigger than Trump's, so while it seems two heavy fast trains are chugging side by side, ego will loop those tracks into a head on collision. That's 308 days away.

    Well your previous predictions regarding Trump were pretty accurate…oh wait.

    Ah yes, playing mental gymnastics always works out well. That's like using hope as a tactic..

    There is no reason to create more political turmoil with something like this. Why give the media more BS to cling to, it's unproductive.

    It’s not mental gymnastics at all…unless you’ve never heard of giving someone the benefit of the doubt?

    As for the media…the same media that said the Hunter Laptop was Russian disinformation and that Joe Biden was competent?  Here’s a hint for you:  The media is so anti-Trump they’re going to run with anything they can to make Trump/his team look bad, because they’re largely progressive and hate Trump, and when one doesn’t work, they’ll be onto the next one.  Remember the “JD Vance is weird” phase that the media ran on for a short time this past summer?  So why give any of it credibility when it’s nonsense?

    I don't know if he is a neo-nazi. Yes, I do believe he's created an unneeded distraction for Democrats to rally against. They're going to use this to rally more support to fight against the policies Trump is going to push.

    You not knowing should mean you don’t believe he is…this is the basic principle of giving someone the benefit of the doubt.  I don’t know whether you beat your spouse or not, but until I have good reason to believe you are, I’m going to reasonably assume you’re not.  Don’t fall for the leftist/media nonsense…this is all they have when they’re losing on the majority of issues.

    We as a country need to continue the pendulum swing back from the last 4 years, and we need to find common ground to do that. A dude that is apparently going to be a significant part of the administration throwing up two Nazi salutes does not help that. At best he's a social ra-tard and should hire a better speech coach, worse is that he's trying to troll and is too arrogant to realize this isn't going to help the administration, and at worst he's actually a racist and thinks this is a power move because no one can touch him.

    Do you really believe Elon Musk is pro-Nazi, a fascist, white supremacist, or anything else the left is trying to make him into?  Just a simple yes or no is all I’m looking for…

  19. None of this matters because according to the progressives as what they said before this past November 5th, if Trump were to win, then it would be the end to our democracy, since he’s a wannabe dictator, traitor, rapist, etc.  But now that Trump has won, what are these progressives going to do?  Start a revolution?  Get their states to secede?  Move to another country?  If you’re really this concerned, don’t you do something?  Or was all that crap they said before November just BS rhetoric?…which is why I don’t care what they think about Trump, what Elon Musk says or does, whether or not they like Hegseth, on and on.  
     

    Progressives only care about their ideology, and that’s it, and that’s all they have.

    Vivek overplayed his hands with the holidays H1B visas debate and schism, annoyed T and Elmo, and is being asked politely/put on an ice floe to go be Indian somewhere else. 

    Or…he’s going to run for Governor.  And he’ll be much better than DeWine.

    A new member for less than an hour with 6 posts, and 3 of them back-to-back. If only there was an edit function where you could add to your last post without creating a new one that says basically the same thing as the last two...

    I’m always suspicious of someone who makes all these posts their first day on the site.  We’ll moderate UFN.
