If you didn’t watch the Kamala interview last night, this clip about sums it up. She was struggling so bad that her advisors told her she needed to do the interview, and now my guess is that she is doing even worse because of it.
-
I’m pretty confident that both campaigns have internal polls that tell them how they’re doing…so when Trump says he won’t do another debate and Kamala says she’ll do an interview on Fox, I think that’s both very telling.
-
Well, just three weeks out and I’d say it’s a toss-up to slight lean for Trump. Kamala is going to do an interview with Brett Baier on Fox…if she was winning then I doubt she would be taking this unnecessary risk. At this point I won’t be shocked if either one wins. ETA: It won’t be “live” but according to Brett it will be unedited with no commercials

Welcome to “democracy”.
-
Equity and climate BS…above actually doing FEMA’s job. But somehow a progressive will tell me this is all Trump’s fault.
-
It comes down to priorities…unless you think that a $2 Trillion deficit (insane if we’re truly in a “good economy”) doesn’t matter, in which case, why have any limits on borrowing and spending?

Interesting times for SWA…

“Boeing proposes 'final' offer to striking workers; union rejects vote” https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/boeing-increases-wage-offer-30-striking-workers-2024-09-23/ Airbus is a better option IMO

It’s tough to get upset when you’re not surprised. It was obvious over the last several years that this crap was/is going on. Since the “leaders” don’t care about our military, then it’s tough for everyone else to care. Sucks to be those who are still serving, but they have a choice, just as we all did.

Not sure what you mean by “2025 at the current overage”—is this when the CPs are saying hiring will pick up, because 2025 is right around the corner? Delta just started another Indoc class last week, so they haven’t entirely stopped and they’re still saying they’ll bring on another 1Kish next year, and United is bragging about how many they plan on hiring in the next few years as well. While I don’t disagree that anything significant in the future can change these numbers, it will be obvious to see by early next year which way things will go. So just for fun, what do you think will happen? While m gut tells me that 2K is quite a bit for AA next year, I’m sure it will be close to 500-1000.
-
This was posted right after the LPA conference this past weekend—not saying you’re wrong, but publicly, AA is saying their plan is to hire 2K next year.

Saw the new Beetlejuice…I thought it was kind of just “ok”.

Who told you nobody was going to pursue one against you?—the convening authority, ie most likely your wing commander? Because that’s who officially sends you to an FEB. Did you write a response to the LOR? If you want more info on an FEB, you need to read the regs and talk with an ADC. But unless the LOR is completely bogus, then it sounds like you messed up and now the AF is wanting to make the case that you shouldn’t be flying because of your lack of judgement, character, etc. Without knowing the exact details, it’s kind of hard to give you advice from the peanut gallery…and as others have mentioned, it’s smart to just keep your mouth shut and away from social media. My only general advice is (if you haven’t done so already) to seek out a couple close friends/family members who you really trust, can give you honest feedback, and who can keep an eye on you to make sure you don’t allow this take you into dark(er) places. Even if the AF takes your wings away and involuntarily separates you, this doesn’t mean that you can’t live the best life possible from this day forward. But that will take ownership of what you did, and realizing why you did it, etc and how to right the ship in your life. Good luck and please be safe.
-
So it sounds like you do know why…now whether it’s legit is the question. Your original post made it sound like you truly were surprised, which you’re not. There’s more to this than you’re telling us.
-
I agree with everything you said…my response was to Raimius who seemed to make the argument that the LEO was intentionally wanting to murder the guy, which I very much disagree unless there is clear evidence to the contrary.
-
Do you actually think he wanted to murder that person in that moment for no reason, or perhaps had wanted to murder anyone for no reason? Or do you think he was just extremely negligent in performing his duties?
-
If you perceive someone as a threat, then that wouldn’t surprise me to use that many rounds…would it concern you if the LEO used that many rounds on a suspect who initially shot at him? You shoot to stop the perceived threat, and if in that moment you rapidly fire off 7-8 rounds (or whatever) then that’s what it took. The entire question is did the LEO act reasonably/within his legal scope when performing his duties in this situation.

RFK is effectively out, and is endorsing Trump. My guess is this will equate to an overall permanent +1 to 2 points for Trump.
-
Sure, but me personally, it won’t change how I live. But if I were barely middle class, it would definitely change how I lived.
-
I said it won’t affect my life much. We live well below our means so the everyday price increases we see at the grocery store, getting my haircut, my kid’s gymnastics, etc due to inflation is annoying, but it doesn’t change our spending habits. Maybe I should be buying more toys?
-
Right now I give the election a 50/50 toss up. That all being said, if Kamala wins, then the economic pain that continues/gets worse is owned by those who voted for her. The people who will be screwed the most are the low and mids of the middle class. By definition I’m in the upper class and while I will continue to be annoyed with the sticker shock when I go to the grocery store of Walgreens, it won’t affect my life much. But for the others I mentioned…those who are trying to improve their lives by making good decisions, they’ll have to continue to make touch choices when it comes to their budget. To be fair, I don’t think that Trump would be some miracle cure to the economy since we as a country have lost our ways economically, and both political parties have F’d it up. But I’ll vote for the guy who wants less regulation and is pro-business any day over someone who is desiring price controls.
-
But according to the left, JD Vance is “weird”…
-
No, it’s really not. I’m able to think for myself without having Putin influence me. Your argument is the same as those saying someone was pro-Saddam Hussein if that person was against the invasion of Iraq. I can be anti-Putin and also anti spending $175 Billion thus far on supporting Ukraine. Nothing will ever get cut if the argument is “X is only tens of billions of dollars”.

$175 Billion…sorry, there you go. https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-us-aid-going-ukraine
