Hater.
JHMCS is OK, but there will be a new helmet that is 100% better soon. Block 30s and A-10s are already flying with it.
The JHMCS 2? Or something entirely different? Also, do F-15C's get them?

SNL could learn a lot from the Netherlands. They make fun of Trump without sounding like a bunch of butthurt little children, unlike our media.

I liked the line "We're gonna take people off of welfare and put them back to work"... I'm sure that scared the sh!t out of a lot of people today... More "peaceful protesters" bashing windows, setting everything on fire, and shooting into crowds are close to follow I'm sure...

6/9 PCSM.... What? Think those guys were like "Eh, I don't want to be a pilot anyway..." then propped their feet up on the keyboard and ate potato chips for 1.5 hours...

I guess I didn't communicate well. I've got no problem with it either. It's genius, and the Demo's were absolutely asleep at the wheel. It's local gov't, the way it should be. The NPR podcast goes into a little more detail about how the R's even had... public memos (not press releases, can't think of the term) announcing what they were doing. As a more conservative person, I'm fine with the way it happened.
D's just assumed they'd always be in power, I guess. Even now they appear to be grasping at straws as to what led to the downfall.Deep down they know why they lost.... But they also know if you say her name 3 times you'll summon her and "commit suicide" by stabbing yourself in the back 69 times (most of which will be after you are already dead).

Maybe, maybe not. They've got their almost-new Eurofighters. The UK has a specific role to throw the F-35B into, whereas that's not a capability ze Germans needed a replacement for. The Netherlands has a bunch of F-16s to replace. I'm not saying they're not slacking, just that they might not have been compelled to buy into the JSF for other reasons that NATO partners do have.I've been told the Eurofighter looks beautiful... on radar at least.

Paul Ryan when asked if he doubted the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia meddled in the presidential election:
"...Russia didn’t tell Hillary Clinton not to go to Wisconsin or Michigan. They didn’t put the server in her basement or put the stuff on Anthony Weiner’s laptop...”
He went on to throw a bone to the intelligence community and say how he trusts their assessment and whatnot... Just thought his quote was a direct hit to the quibbling the Clinton campaign has been spewing to explain why it's not her fault she lost.-

The President (and this nation, if we're being honest) is a unique mix of state's rights and federal powers. The President is actually elected by the states in our electoral system, not by the general public. This idea of state rule was even more clear when one looks back before the seventeenth amendment. Bottom line, the President is the President of the United States.
THIS. But if anyone is looking for a participation trophy, I think a nice trial run would be giving Clinton control of (1) every state north of Penn., (2) every state on the west coast except for California (geographically about even), and Chicago... The trial will last 8 years and everyone's a winner!

Sorry, but I don't even want to hear talk of a popular vote until we raise the abysmal voter turnout way higher. Also, what happens if the popular vote reveals that all those people in California and New York who didn't vote were all Republicans? Maybe they didn't vote because they know their state/county is going to go blue anyways. Obviously that's a long shot, but are we going to keep flipping which vote is more important based on who decides to b1tch loudest at the time?
The popular vote seems more like mob rule than "will of the people" right now.-

The problem with #Calexit is that California is actually one of the most beautiful places in the world, and has some of the greatest resources, despite all the liberal hippie bullshit that goes on there... LA would've become just another Chicago or Detroit if it weren't for all the fvcking money being pumped in there by all the A-list movie stars in LA, tourism, etc. And don't get me wrong... LA, despite everything it has going for it, is trying as hard as it can to become the murder capital of the US (if it hasn't already done so). The only thing saving it is the beautiful area, and the enclaves of richer-than-God people that live in the area. So basically, California isn't going to implode as a result of its retarded policies anytime soon...
BUT put all the California dipsh!ts (election protesters) in Kansas for a couple years and see how much they want to secede after that. -
I still agree with huggy. Mangled butterfly... Final Answer.

Since you have a habit of talking about things you're not knowledgeable on, I'll do you the favor and correct you on this one as well. I see you're trying to justify the votes your girl got in this state, but I can tell you as a resident that no cowboy hat-wearing, truck-driving Texan placed a vote for her and I challenge you to back up that claim with facts. If you look at the popular vote in Texas, the only blue counties are mainly those along the Mexican border and can be attributed to the large illegal population that resides there. The rest was overwhelmingly Trump.
Texas was a conservative Democratic stronghold for many years. For approximately 100 years from after Reconstruction until the 1990s, the Democrats dominated Texas politics. Now Republicans control all statewide Texas offices, to include the governor and both houses of the state legislature, and have a majority in the Texas congressional delegation. This makes Texas one of the most Republican states in the U.S. Urban areas like Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio are still largely Democrats; but suburbs of these cities remain heavily Republican.
So your claim that "cowboy hat-wearing, truck-driving Texans" voted for Hillary are pure fantasy. It's the typical liberal and welfare-recipient votes that supported her in many other states.Illinois, my favorite electoral map this year, is a current Democratic stronghold. Let's play a couple guessing games:
1. Where is the city with some of the strictest gun laws located?
2. Where is the city with one of the highest gun-related murder rates in the US is located?
HINT: One city is the answer to both questions - sometimes nicknamed "Chiraq" for it's warzone-like atmosphere.

Too funny. I've taken a similar approach with regards to the "Merry Christmas" thing this year.
Let's see... I was a conservative Political Science major in college. I had a professor once tell me that I "should drop her class, if I knew what was good for me", suspiciously after I put a Romney sticker on my laptop in 2012. I had another class, (Women and Gender in Science and Technology... required for my major) and the professor essentially flunked me when I refused to accept that I was a part of the "patriarchy". She had me down as an F, but after various department heads and pulling political strings, I got that raised to a C. Woohoo. Other friends with similar beliefs caved and wrote the vanilla propaganda that was asked of them and never challenged anyone with meaningful questions. Yours truly took the Billy Mitchell approach. My GPA is an unfortunate testament to that.
In follow-on jobs, I have been followed to my car, harassed, shoved and spat on. The daughter of a Representative I work with... overheard two men speaking about her in Spanish outside her apartment (she's fluent). They kept holding up their phone and looking at her face, then back to the phone. She bolted to the campus police and they followed. Cops arrested them and uncovered a plan to kidnap her and hold her for ransom until the Rep did what they wanted.
I have friends working in the DNC who I talk with on a weekly basis. Not a single one has ever told me about anything similar happening to them.
This violence I mentioned before? It's real. The double standard? It exists. The "tolerance"? Is a joke.
Essay starts: "In a male dominated society, it has become increasingly difficult for women (or those who sexually identify as such) to pull themselves from the proverbial quicksand. However, as progressiveness becomes the new norm, we look to pioneers such as Hillary Rodham Clinton to uproot women from the desolate predisposition in which men have placed them."
Easy A-

we need to do a better job of working to find common ground rather than assuming the worst about the "other side."
The common ground has been there, but I just don't think the issues dominate politics today. It's a popularity contest.
2008: Dems masterfully slipped in the "first black President". He was the cool new guy and didn't fit the old, grumpy, lack-luster politician look that McCain had going on.
2012: Romney reeked of snobby rich guy, and Obama just put out the zingers during the debate and everyone drooled over the "cool-guy" persona again.
2016: The media shoves Clinton's "credentials" down our throat and calls her the "most qualified candidate in history" - just 4 years after telling us that being qualified wasn't "cool" and that we needed less politicians and more cool guys like Obama that treat the President's podium like a celebrity roast.
Also, the moderates aren't in control of the media... So as a moderate Republican, all I hear is:
-Don't want to jail/kill a cop for shooting someone who acted like they had a gun, or actually did have a gun pointed at the cop?-> Racist
-Want to vet immigrants from a war torn country? -> Islamaphobe
-Are you a successful straight white male? -> Everything was given to you.
-Unsuccessful woman, gay, and/or black? -> You're not successful because the straight white male dominated system is out to get you.-

I agree, but Trump pretty much created the media on his own with his Tweets and general behavior. I don't have a defense for Hillary. I think she has the personality of a cardboard box.
I honestly believe Trump played the election perfectly. He won the Republican primary by playing on our frustrations with the party elites. Then he continued that strategy and amped up the "any press is good press" tactic when going against Clinton. He basically turned the media so hard against him that they started spouting obvious nonsense 24/7 and calling it "facts". The "fact-checker" they did after every debate was so politically biased it was laughable, and it didn't fool anyone. Then he basically verbalized what every politician has been doing since the day they were born - lying. He said "no I didn't" and "wrong" about a million times, instead of saying "I don't recall" or just switching the topic completely (which is what Clinton did, and also what most politicians do). Finally, he campaigned last minute in a bunch of different swing states when Clinton was probably sipping champagne with billionaires and movie stars, talking about how easy this election was to win.

Agreed. I actually love the right vs. left brawl this thread has become. Makes politics so much more interesting. Lay it all out on the table, call me on my bullsh!t and I'll call you on yours. That's the best way to debate.

Sidebar conversation...
What is up with all the "liberals" slurs on this board. Every time I see that word, all I can picture is Rush Limbaugh foaming at the mouth while a bunch of curmudgeonly middle aged men smugly laugh. It's unoriginal. It's devoid of thought.
And it seems you've forgotten that the majority of voters did NOT vote for Trump. The idea that there is a nation-wide rejection of "nationwide rejection of transgendered, trans-fatted, trans-national, 'we know better than you' attitude of the current Administration, the majority of the media, and the well-insulated liberals in the coastal enclaves" is preposterous.
Tiny sample size, but about half of the pilots in my fighter squadron say they, "lean left." Like most Americans, myself included, we tend to lean left on social issues and conservative on financial issues... but it isn't black and white. It isn't the "us vs them" mentality perpetuated by Karl Rove and co.
Stick to the facts instead of sweeping generalization and political non-sense. Put some arguments back into these posts instead of the Facebook standard "liberals... blah blah" "Obama... rabble rabble" etc.
I'm socially liberal and fiscally conservative as well. With people I consider my close friends, it's about a 50/50 split. My buddies and I are totally brutal to each other on politics, because - and let's be perfectly honest with each other on this one - politics in the US has become a joke. I hate politics, so the only way I really like to talk about it is by being an a$$hole righty... Nothing personal, and if I met you I bet 100% we'd be best buddies in like 2 seconds because I don't talk about politics a lot and I genuinely like everyone I meet until they prove they're a card-carrying douche. You're a fighter pilot; I aspire to be a fighter pilot. I could talk flying and listen to your AF stories forever, trust me. Politics would be the furthest thing from my mind.
But in all honesty, Clinton was put in a much better light than Trump was across the main stream media. Denying that the media "leans left", as you put it, is almost as bad as claiming Obama is a plant by the Muslim Brotherhood to bring this country down. I believe that was Michael Savage, and I listen to him on rare occasion to remind myself of how my side of the political spectrum can be filled with lunatics as well...

We had a lot of personnelists spend many hours to make sure our pilots are paid the correct amount via the bonus. Very exciting that it finally happened. Pilots, wherever you are at, please thank a personnelist. That small gesture will make a world of difference.

Oh yeah! I remember one of the block 30 F-16 drivers showing me one when I visited the unit... I guess the F-22 guys finally got fed up with flying the deadliest airplane but not looking the coolest in the cockpit. :)
