A lot of guys also don’t realize how important it is to keep the younger enlisted disciplined. “How can I trust you to fix a plane correctly if you can’t maintain other standards”…is kinda the truth for an 18 year old. A 32yo Major with 10 years of experience dynamically employing jets can (usually) be trusted to use judgment about what rules are actually important, but the revolving door of inexperienced 2-stripers working on your oil and hydro fittings maybe not as much. Going from a flying squadron to one that’s 90% enlisted like an OSS is eye-opening; even if it’s full of highly qualified jobs like ATC there are non-stop disciplinary issues. “Do you want an airman that has a trend of not maintaining standards working ATC?” No…no I don’t.

My father in law asked if it was because of DEI.

This is why it matters: https://www.politico.com/news/2024/12/23/matt-gaetz-allies-congress-00195959 Assholes like Bannon will encourage him to run just because he’s on their team.

Well no I’ve never done any of the things on the list of things that Gaetz did, so yeah, I’m better than him. No one on that ethics panel is lying, they all know he did those things also. Along with everyone else in Washington. The only people that don’t believe it are the dumbasses having their opinions shaped by talking heads. And no, I don’t watch/listen to any of that shit.

Story I saw was funny as hell. And lucky, Jeebus.

I think we might’ve found NW Florida’s next congressman. I don’t live there, but if I did, I’d vote for a gunship pilot killer patch non-lawyer Wing/CC bro in about 0.69s.

Republicans and Democrats on the ethics committee agree that he did everything listed above. The only dissent was over releasing the report. Probably due to it being unprecedented…but unprecedented because it opens up a Pandora’s Box of what other investigative findings have there been. [emphasis mine] VIII. VIEWS OF CHAIRMAN MICHAEL GUEST ON BEHALF OF THE DISSENTING COMMITTEE MEMBERS “I write on behalf of the members of the committee who do not support the release of the report regarding former Representative Matt Gaetz. We believe and remain steadfast in the position that the House Committee on Ethics lost jurisdiction to release to the public any substantive work product regarding Mr. Gaetz after his resignation from the House on November 14, 2024. While we do not challenge the Committee’s findings, we take great exception that the majority deviated from the Committee’s well-established standards and voted to release a report on an individual no longer under the Committee’s jurisdiction, an action the Committee has not taken since 2006.” [more of the same] Go read the whole report. What more evidence do you need? Are you a Republican? He’s making you look like shit. You want a court to argue about procedures for a year? Naw man…fuck him. Voters need to see this because douches like him can’t stop lying to gain power, but we all know they’ll just keep doing what they’re told by the media.

Also, apparently there are more unreleased ethic reports across both parties. Release them and cast them all into the abyss. It’s not like there’s a shortage of politicians to replace them.

A majority of these things are illegal. The findings from the 50/50 bipartisan ethics committee are below. The dissent wasn’t about the findings, it was only about whether or not the report should be released. Gaetz is a douche and a discredit to the United States, Florida, and the Republican Party. Fuck him. https://ethics.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Committee-Report.pdf In sum, the Committee found substantial evidence of the following: • From at least 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz regularly paid women for engaging in sexual activity with him. • In 2017, Representative Gaetz engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl. • During the period 2017 to 2019, Representative Gaetz used or possessed illegal drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, on multiple occasions. • Representative Gaetz accepted gifts, including transportation and lodging in connection with a 2018 trip to the Bahamas, in excess of permissible amounts. • In 2018, Representative Gaetz arranged for his Chief of Staff to assist a woman with whom he engaged in sexual activity in obtaining a passport, falsely indicating to the U.S. Department of State that she was a constituent. • Representative Gaetz knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct the Committee’s investigation of his conduct. • Representative Gaetz has acted in a manner that reflects discreditably upon the House.

So a fuckhead, got it. Seriously why would anyone give a shit about that guy. Clearly the majority of it is true or he wouldn’t have been asked to withdraw himself from consideration.

Turns out Gaetz is a fuckhead, confirmed. Perhaps congress should be drug tested more than once/never.

So much more credibility than a career office manager.

Social media has destroyed your mind, good luck

Bashi, you’re a coward and fool for supporting Russia and an embarrassment to have in the US military. It’s bad enough that I have to assume you’re a troll. Good day.

Ukraine is a friendly democratic nation with zero expansionist desires that was invaded by an unfriendly, undemocratic nation with expansionist desires. That’s the reason that Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Finland joined NATO. Because none of them could trust Russia. And as long as Putin is in power and attempting to derail our foreign policy on every continent, neither can we. Abandoning Ukraine is giving him a historic come from behind win, and it damages trust in the US for every ally.

Trump likes military pilots and would pay them more, Tom Cotton hates them and would pay them less.

Russia invades for peace!

Russia is no longer a conventional near-peer to anyone because Ukraine has pushed their shit in with tenacity and western weapons. If Russia ends up being able to take Ukraine because America (once again) turns its back on an ally due to Idiocracy politics, they’ll have control of Europe’s breadbasket and gas supply while they rebuild themselves to conventional near-peer status by selling resources to the rest of the Axis of Assholes. Since the same douchebag will be in charge, he’ll continue blaming Russia’s problems on The West, and most of Russia and our own MAGAs will agree because their mushy minds are easy to shape with TikTok. Taking nukes into account, Russia’s potential military power still exceeds Europe, assuming the warheads and missiles still work, which no one wants to find out.

Also, like who really gives a shit about Tombstones and Gravestones anymore, you know? Between Ukraine ATACMS and the Israelis there won’t be much left

This is a pretty shitbag comment, bro.

Not much of a surprise. I’m sure Trump groped a lot of women from the 70s to the 2010s, and his voters won’t care. There could be video of it, and his voters wouldn’t care.

Should’ve opened up lithium mines and never left

Yes, “near peers”

They’d better be careful targeting the Mossad HQ, they might hurt some Iranian officials
