As of late July, ICE had taken into custody 149,084 people, including nearly 50,000 over the past eight weeks.

This one's a maybe, but sure sounds nice.

President Donald Trump said he will deploy National Guard troops to Washington, DC, as part of an aggressive federal effort to crack down on crime in the nation’s capital

Trump said the federal government would also seize control of Washington's Metropolitan Police Department.

 

Add in DOJ probes of Letitia James, Schiff for mortgage fraud, FBI trash rooms full of burn bags that weren't, and it's been a successful few weeks.

It's gonna be a good day tater

and Hegseth?

I can only infer that you're making reference to his irresponsible use of unsecure messaging apps to communicate secret information. Of course that should be punished / not tolerated. And here is me, a guy on the right, plainly saying so. Whether or not that deserves prison is a whole different discussion though. Probably boils down to intent. The difference between what he did (irresponsible) and what Schiff attempted to do is a universe of difference though. If you can't see objectively see that, you're beyond redemption.

Now, if you can look at what Schiff has done and say, yeah, that amounts to attempting to illegitimately undermine the president of the US and that is wrong and should be severely punished, then there's probably hope for you. If all you can do though is point at Pete Hegseth, and go "what about this guy?" then I got nothing for you.

I honestly don’t understand the implication here.  “Power move?”  How so?  

Trump:  “Hey look, we have B-2’s and F-35s.” 

Putin:  “yeah, I know.  Cool.”

Is the implication supposed to be “watch out, cause we just might use these against Russia?”  

Putin knows there’s zero chance of that happening.  Besides, I think he’s probably much more worried about drone swarm attacks, like the kind that took out most of his bomber fleet, than he is about fat Amy.

This is classic Trump.  Using the military as a symbol of strength to try to mask his weakness and ineffectuality.  Putin is going to get Ukrainian territory out of this, and Trump is pressuring Zelensky to surrender it to him asap.

But yeah, cool air show.

I’m certain you realize we did the same thing in Tokyo Bay on 2 Sept 1945. Also made Mamoru and his delegation, aboard the Missouri, stand with their back to Tokyo and the Emperor to sign the unconditional surrender. All very public, purposeful, and emblematic.  But yeah a drone flyover would’ve been super duper epic, sucks we had to fly some fully loaded B-29’s and a shitload of fighters over the palace that morning instead of a few MQ-9’s to project American power.

This illustrates my point exactly. 

In your comparison example, we were at war with Japan.  We dropped nukes on them and forced their unconditional surrender.

Today, we’re not at war with Russia, and the “deal” that will be brokered will almost certainly result in Russia….aka. the enemy……seizing land from a sovereign nation.

And guys are acting like a fly by is some sort of flex of strength and power.  It makes no sense to me, and the downvotes and memes with no other comment tell me it doesn’t make sense to other guys either.

There was more 5th generation air power on that Ramp and in the Air over that exchange than in Putin’s entire Air Force and he knows it. This was a reminder that not every NATO entity is full of smoke, maybe rethink the way you looking at Latvia and Estonia.

He stood tall on the Maginot Line.  He lead the attack on Pearl Habor.  Later, he fought off waves of Viet Cong during Tet all by himself.  He ended Gulf Wars I and II.  Donald J Trump, war hero, bone spurs and all.  Because if he said it, you know it's true.

I didn't catch a quote of, "I'm a war hero" in that article, so not quite the counterweight you intend.  Got any other draft dodging Presidents spouting that claim?  Maybe Bush with his connections to get into the ANG and then do war in the aftermath of 9/11?  Maybe his "Mission Complete" stunt was like saying it without saying it?  I dunno.  You let us know if dumbass gets a pass on this one or not.

Our politicians are garbage.  What else is new?

This just in.  Politicians are egotistical malcontents!  I don't care at this point.  Give me policies that move this country forward.  Border is shut down (without congressional intervention for the most part) and our foreign policy so far is exceeding what I expected.  Jury is out on the Trump economy approach but better than status quo.

It doesn't change what's written in the article.  However, I look at AI as more of national defense item than a normal business.  It's the new space race amigo.  If we lose it, we're doomed.
