Errr, fcuking with a national election and therefore the national infrastructure is pretty much a casus belli. I have not been recalled to active duty yet. Did I miss the call/text? I am not buying it. I could absolutely believe that the current Administration wouldn't do anything about it if it were true, but the fact that the IC is not in lock-step on this happening makes me lean toward an excuse of why Hillary lost since she wasn't supposed to according to all the Democrats and all the standard media. It couldn't have been her. Nope, gotta be the Russki's... They rolled her once before on the "reset" and have pretty much had their way like drunken Vikings with the rest of the current Administration, including the infamous "I'll have more room to maneuver" comment made by the soon to be ex-President back in the run-up to 2012. Why on earth would Vlad want take on an unknown (at best) or a guy who has stated he is for America first yet can work a deal as well? Yep, the logic checks yet again. Gotta be the Russki's...

To clarify, if they, the Russians, hacked voting machines to change votes and screwed with results, that's pretty serious and worth changing DEFCON. If it's propaganda and spending money to stir the pot, then fair enough. We do it; can't blame them for doing it. Still don't think they did it. Much easier to cry "wolf!' than defend the crap contained in Hillary's e-mails and the DNC's. If the press chases that ball, there's less ink spilled on the real news revealed by Assange. The press also has a vested interest to discourage coverage of the damaging e-mails since so many of them were revealed to be in the tank for Hillary - sending stories for an "ok" prior to running; revealing GOP dirt to the campaign and not publishing the dirt until it was coordinated with the DNC; dancing at Hillary's nomination event; having dinner with the campaign a week prior to its announcing itself; literally providing debate questions to Hillary; and on and on and on. But I hold to my position that the Russians would have an easier time putting it to Hillary (how's THAT for a visual...) than Trump. Hillary & Co., to include, especially, the so-called MSM, simply can't fathom that they were wrong. It's us, not them. According to them anyway...

Never mind Obama sent a bunch of people to Israel to help BB lose an election with our tax dollars, which he didn't. And funny, the liberal says we can't go back 25 years to point out liberal hypocrisy.

Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere. Hypocrisy, the one common denominator for all politicians.

25 years is apparently what changed. Your point is my point exactly - the Russians don't have our best interests in mind and I trust our own intelligence community more than I trust RT and the Kremlin propaganda machine. Can the same be said uniformly across the right? Now look to the President-elect's administration as the one wanting closer ties to Russia, as not believing the CIA's assessment that Russian hacks were meant to help get Trump elected, etc. Flynn and Tillerson (National Security Adviser and Secretary of State to be [rumored]) have extensive ties with Russia, as did Paul Manafort, Trump's one-time campaign manager. That's why I find it ironic. The "liberals are commies and love Russia!" meme doesn't quite hold today the same way it did in the 80s. Some liberals are commies and fuck 'em, I agree, but let's allow our distain for Russian intersts to cross party lines when necessary as well. Today it's the incoming GOP administration that can rightfully be charged with cozying up to Putin, not the Democrats. Edit to add: I'll also say that I remember laughing when Obama mocked Romney during the 2012 Presidential debates re: Russia. "The 80s want their foreign policy back, etc." I was wrong then and so was the President, Romney was right to identify the Russians as the biggest (or top 2) geopolitical threats to the U.S. VEOs aren't an existential threat...Russian undermining of Western institutions (EU/NATO/U.S.), grabbing land in Europe and energy deals in the Middle East and offering a shitty alternative to Western-back norms and power is an existential threat, and that's what Romney was getting at I think.

Erotic Carp calendar... your welcome. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2327321/the-erotic-carp-calendar-you-never-knew-you-needed-is-here-in-time-for-christmas/

Didn't Obama spend tons of money on propaganda and other dirty tactics trying to influence the election in favor of anyone except Netanyahu? I personally would like a refund from that failed effort. Also...

I was told the percentile was the ranking against everyone who took that exam. I understood as one pool of rankings from each test version.

Hmm, I know several school grads/students that regret saying yes. Pretty sure one is on this board. Personally, I said yes only because I didn't want to 7 day opt since I have 16 years TIS. I'm already wondering "what if" I'd said no, but not in the way you're implying. I'm wondering just how much QOL I'll be giving up over the next 4 years, how much seniority I'm losing, and if I'll end up regretting my decision to stay i.e. getting stop lossed just before retirement eligibility in 2020. I'll let you know once I get my post school assignment if I regret saying yes, but I'm not optimistic... BTW, I would have absolutely declined IDE in-res if I could've done so without 7 day opting. And I seriously considered it anyway.
