    Just like I'm immediately suspect of a guy whose been in 2+ Guard squadron, I'd be suspect of someone with that many airframes in their career.  Maybe he was transitioned...

    Ha, you’d be suspect of most senior leaders at AMC. Can hardly make GO unless you do a touch and go on every fat girl aircraft.

    Former 1C in the squadron got out after his enlistment and became a police officer back in his hometown. He was killed in the line of duty two weeks ago. Some bros made a variant of the normal squadron pen tab with a thin blue line across it to honor his service and sacrifice. The two-star on base saw it and instructed everyone to stop wearing it because it’s “too political.”

    Did someone ask said two star when and why he got castrated?

    I don’t know, some of y’all’s ability to get triggered by a random CBT slide is impressive. I can personally attest to a career’s-worth of completing CBTs and having no idea what was in them, but maybe I’m the weird one. Still I’d wager that 99% of cadets would’ve already forgotten about it too other than now their great uncle who fought in ‘Nam is emailing them demanding to know why the hell they’ve gone woke.
    I get that Tucker keeps bringing this stuff up to get us all in a froth but oof, it’s gotta just be exhausting repeatedly taking that bait.

    Your head is buried up you know where if you think this is just talked about in a CBT. A former Squadron Commander forced their Flight CCs to take part in a book club on “White Fragility”, open your eyes dude.

    Gina Ortiz, Chief Bass, CQ Brown… OF COURSE they support this woke crap. The lower echelons also didn’t get to where they were by being yes men/women/whatever gender pronoun they have in their signature block. Does it get better…or is it here to stay, something to adapt to and work with?

    Having just separated and attended like 30 networking events ill say this..... if it bothers you.... don't get out. Because its like 100X worse in the civilian world. Seriously just sat in a meeting with CHRO's from dozens of large companies and DE&I is the new hot sauce. 

    That said, in your benefit, veterans and their families (specifically children and spouses) are now coming under the umbrella of DE&I as an oppressed class. 

    Yes woke culture is everywhere but it lagged in the military. Now it’s impacting lethality and readiness and that I’m not okay with. Use whatever gender pronouns you want IDGAF, stop wasting peoples time with this crap during work hours.

    Doesn't this make the student loan forgiveness illegal?  Since it was done under the cover of an "emergency order" to combat the pandemic?

    You think his voters and supporters will care about this (over a third of the country surprisingly)?  Most of them don’t even understand basic civics or third grade mathematics.

    Keep sighing. How many kids does the average American couple have? Enough to replace all those “Boomers” (I’m most definitely NOT one btw)? I’ll save you the the trouble of googling: NO. If we want to continue to have a viable economy, we need immigrants. Lots of ‘em. Perhaps you prefer we take the lazy, ones instead of young, hardworking people? Or perhaps you just can’t see past your own generation’s potential success and prefer to leave the hard issues like demographics to your kids and grandkids? And before anyone else gets all up in a huff about who gets to come here, go back and read my original response to CH. I am NOT advocating for unabated illegal immigration or open borders. 

    I don’t know of a single acquaintance I have, that’s a republican, that is against legal immigration of those deserving (key word - deserving, immigration is a privilege, not a right). When the VPOTUS, who was placed in charge of cleaning up the border mess that her besties created, openly admits the border is fine when thousands of illegal immigrants are pouring into our border with drugs, illegal prostitution and creating and open pathway for unabated terrorism entering our country, we have a big problem. 
     

    Let’s see if the tone changes as Abbott and DeSantis continue to bus migrants to democratic strongholds.  I don’t think the Obamas will be too happy about a bunch of migrants taking a squat in their beloved Martha’s Vineyard. Let’s see how “tolerant” the elites on the left are.

    At least Kamala says the border is secure…

    It blows my mind that anyone in this country could actually support this administration. What a cluster fuck every…single…day.

    Cognitive dissonance. Also most people on the left see a female woman of color in the second highest position in the government. Nothing else matters.

    She needed those navigator hours for the airlines!! 
     

    Back to SDP cuts, it sucks for the Airmen, but it’s simply supply and demand.  Many of those career fields are overmanned so retention is not a concern at the HAF level.  I will say, they are overmanned at the A1C-SSgt level, at least on the loadmaster side we are struggling to retain experienced crew dogs…but I don’t expect the Air Force to reach that level of analysis.

    would you feel the same way if the government closed your business and drove you into bankruptcy? i'm genuinely curious. because that's what happened to hundreds of thousands of your countrymen.

    you don't think there should be accountability for that? or for firing people from not taking an experimental vax that has been proven to not work and/or cause deadly side effects in some people?

    you also think it's "Ok" that the white house used twitter and facebook to censor and ban doctors/citizens who had options contrary to the CDC? Opinions that turned out to be 100% correct.

    you think it's "ok" that doctors who spoke out against mandatory covid vaccinations and mandatory masking had their medical licenses revoked by their states?

    you're good with saying "eh... fuck it let's move on"?

    i think you're missing a lot.

    this isn't over. not by a long shot.

     

    lawsuits are just now being filed and the truth is starting to come out.

    All of this, plus the fact that we know what our government is now capable of doing during the next “crisis.” Vote! The double masked Karen walking outside sure will be!

    We don’t want racism. But we will push policies that push one race over another if we aren’t meeting an arbitrary percentage number. (Isn’t this institutional racism that we hear people talking about?) The traits we are looking for is genitalia and skin color. As long as we give the appearance of a skin color and genitalia diverse military, everything else will be good.

    Think about it. What person, regardless of skin color and genitalia, wants to join an organization that isn’t primarily focused on training and fighting. Winning our countries wars. But we are more focused on ridiculous societal norms of the day. Who wants to join a military (or go to college via affirmative action) knowing that they got hired not because of their ability and hard work but primarily because of skin color and/or genitalia? What about if you didn’t really know after you got hired or picked up if you never found out. If there was always a doubt above your head that you are there because of skin or genitalia and not because of how effective or capable you are. One has to imagine that isn’t a great feeling.

    Work hard. Dream big. Never give up. Fly. Fight. Win.

    Affirmative action is back! Don’t worry guys it will work this time!

    Does she look like someone who got hired out of merit? Of course she is going to say dumb things. It’s at least entertaining to watch her run at the mouth and embarrass the POTUS even further , orange woman was just nauseating.

    While Bernie Bros and AOC types whine and rant about Big Oil, Big Pharma, and whatever other Big, Big College has far exceeded all others in the rate of increase in price. But the biggest supporter of the Leftist Libs are College educated white women so FJB is paying off his base. 

    Colleges are their biggest indoctrination and recruiting centers, they have no incentive to go after the sham that is big college. Remember when Obama wanted everyone to go to college? Surely it’s not because he cares about the youth being educated. Almost belongs in the hypocrisy thread.

    I guess it seems political because it specifically targets Hillary alone. Are we going to investigate Bill for financial stuff? How amount GWB and Cheney over Abu Ghraib and GITMO? Should we investigate and charge Henry Kissinger?

    I say no to all. Primarily because the statute of limitations has passed. And yes, those statutes are different for different crimes for a reason.

    I am a fan of holding “elites” to the same laws and standards as us normies, let’s do that starting right now.

    If some NEW lawbreaking pops up, like having a bunch of boxes of TS/SCI in your golf club, let’s spend our time there.

    I say yes to all, “drain the swamp” and if Trump goes with the drain so be it.

    Vote buying math - A $330B college debt forgiveness bill at $10k per person equates to 33 million people who’ll benefit.  That is less than 10% of the US population. So, 90% of Americans will cover the cost for 10% including a crap ton of non-college graduates who make a hell of a lot less.  This is a giant FU from crazy Uncle Joe to everyone who did pay their student loans back.  The majority of college debt is held by graduate degree holders in non-marketable fields.
     
    Cancelling student debt is lunacy, you are rewarding people who don't pay their bills by taxing those who do pay their bills.

    This is nothing but a desperate attempt to buy votes leading up to the midterms at a barely 40% approval rating. It will probably work since most Biden voters or would be Biden voters can’t do the math you analyzed above.

    I don't always get my political wisdom from ham-fisted hyper biased cartoons.. but when I do its from the guy who's sucking trump off so hard he invariably portrays a 76 year old man as a fit beefcake.

    Such compelling stuff. Much commentary. Wow.

    I know you’re probably sad about Fauci, how will you ever know when to wear your mask again so you can always be a good little complicit citizen!?

    You all can have her, looking at her teeth and having to listen to that whine is more than sufficient to make one want to gouge their eyes and ears out.
