Yes, most folks don't understand that Trump is using these as a leverage for negotiations. I'll argue in that vein (sts) that it is working so far, he has reactions from everybody who's been "tariffed." Otherwise he would be like the previous POTUS, who sat there with hi d*ck in his hand, doing nothing.

Wonder how many are thinking the -60 crew was unaware the CRJ was going to turn to the NW in front of them?

And this: Trump to sign executive order reinstating thousands of troops discharged for not taking COVID jab

Yes, more than you know. Once upon a time, I worked for a leading manufacturer of these things. One of the statistics that came out of their use, was that when officers were accused, they were exonerated at a rate of 97% after review of the video. Many agencies also have a nifty policy for officer complaints, when the video is reviewed if additional crimes are exposed new charges will be placed on either the officer or the complainant. Apparently many folks just walk out the door when asked to sign a complaint. So they are a benefit, IMHO, and when used in an established process with a proper chain of custody, the evidence is usually quite damning.

Meanwhile, in a not so far-fetched scenario, Russia continues their regional hegemony and overruns Ukraine - and then ends up with NATO on her border after all.

Geez, hasn't he already resigned from Congress? Talk about planning.

Foregone conclusion, the Cabinet will be replaced on day one.. I only hope the hundreds of "oddballs" present in other appointed jobs will be broomed out on day as well.

<snip> Sadly, a lot of those tears I saw/heard were based on the person being extremely naïve about the subject (because they've been listening to their team's radio station). For example, the knee-jerk reactions of multiple-pierced nut jobs, saying they will get pregnant as often as possible, so they can have as many abortions as they can. Or the same group crying, because Orange man is going to ban contraceptives too. Fortunately, this is a little like mowing my lawn yesterday, it was very dusty, but I knew that it would eventually die down and blow away in the wind. The good news, is that KH will soon fade into obscurity, along with her cryin' man (Walz), who will go back to doing the job some Minnesotans hired him for.

I can think of a couple of reasons.

Was at the Museum at Wright-Pat last week, and they've towed it out onto the outdoor display area. Inlet covers and anti-Pidgeon wire (top of the stabilizer) included.

More heartbreaking news out of Lebanon... Israel kills Ibrahim Aqil, Hezbollah leader who US said was behind 1983 Marine barracks bombing that killed 241 Americans https://nypost.com/2024/09/20/world-news/israel-kills-ibrahim-aqil-hezbollah-leader-us-said-was-behind-1983-marine-barracks-bombing-that-killed-241-americans/ PS: Wow, I had no idea about AOC and her Oktoberfest qualifying protuberances.

Likely Israel has resources looking at all of the videos in an attempt to identify those with hot pockets.

I wonder what the POTUS reaction would have, had he known? Anything. He's not really in charge anyway: https://nypost.com/2024/09/09/opinion/532-joe-biden-vacation-days-prove-the-prez-wrecked-the-country-working-part-time/

To me, Trump does have a strategy here, which is - make sure the other side keeps talking about wacko stuff. It's there to highlight the differences and clearly put KH in a left/woke box. Her luster will begin to wear off, just not sure when.

I saw this yesterday, and I wonder why no one is reporting it? Here's the take away from Barack's lengthy message: "But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges." Many people may be assumed he wrote this before Harris was chosen, but it's not. It looks like the candidacy is wide open.

Then there's the static fire test of the Tianlong-3 last week. Perhaps someone forgot to bolt it in place? Anyway, entertaining from a 4th of July fireworks perspective...

So let the speculation begin (or continue)! Since it seems more likely than ever (though not guaranteed) a new Demo candidate will be thrust forth (sts) - who will it be? Some choices: That person who is the current VP (Harris) Michele Obama That person who ran against trump in 2016 Gavin Newsome Kennedy Your Mom

His wieners look done though - that's probably what he's smiling about.

Sorry, I don't see either boots on the ground or air assets employed downrange there, what are we walking down exactly?

So many more factors, like the adversary's motivation. Are they motivated to stop the shenanigans? Or, how do their goals change the way they think? Or, are they just d*cks?

So, what are you basing your guess on?

"'What was given to me by my team, a preliminary review of the numbers, just the beginning process of analyzing, but it appears, though, that over 40% of those who participated in Columbia and CUNY were not from the school and they were outsiders,” Adams told NPR during a media blitz.'" Being an anarchist seems like a lucrative job these days...

"That's quite a mouthful," she said.
