When did I say Biden should fix decades of partisanship in a few days? I said he ran on a platform of unity...he promised to heal America...his inauguration was again about unity. His actions so far are 180 of from what he said/promised. To the winner go the spoils so if he wants to sign 37 executive actions reversing Trump policies so be it, but be HONEST...that is not about unity. He has not taken a single action in the lead up to taking office or in his first few days of executive orders. They are in such a rush to wipe Trump off the map they Biden's wonks reversed an executive order that was meant almost solely to keep the price of insulin down. Trump is gone...he is irrelevant now. If he tries to start a third party it will simply lock the DNC in power for eternity yet they want to pursue him with impeachment because they want revenge. Biden could end it right now and start the "healing" but he has no backbone and won't even state an opinion. Be a freaking leader, stand up to Pelosi and stop the impeachment...calm the Trumpsters and focus on fixing the broken shit TOGETHER, why is that so hard to understand? The last thing I am is a Trump apologist. Things he said and did were abhorrent, he actually lost me when he made the comments about John McCain being a POW and he preferred men who were not shot down. Other statements were equally appalling but sadly in our two party system we are left with choosing the lesser of two evils and when I stacked up the issues four years ago Trump and his policies were the clear choice. I did not want to vote for him this election, but knowing the history of Biden and even more frightening, Harris...there was no way in hell I was going to vote to put the most liberal person in the sent in the Senate, in a chair that is one heartbeat from the Oval Office, have you ever read her statements and policies? ESPECIALLY concerning when Biden is in the mental condition I believe him to in...he will not make four years. He very clearly has the early signs of dementia and it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Here is the thing that bothers me the most. You said "you guys all band together...and upvote each other's posts." That has been the problem the last four years with the mainstream press. No President has ever had so much bad press. See the graphic below. From DAY ONE the mainstream press which is mostly liberal went into full attack mode. Look at the first White House press conference under Trump versus Biden. Look at the liberal press fawn all over Joe. NY Times Editor Lauren Wolfe was so blatant they had to fire her (for once the NY Times showed some integrity). Another NY Times contributor called for the "lynching of Mike Pence"...his account was not disabled. Again from day one the press was in full attack mode and Pelosi, Schiff and Schumer followed suit with an impeachment based on a fake dossier paid for by Hillary...do you not find that shocking? The FBI knew the dossier was fake, they knew the context, yet they allowed it to continue and went after people like Mike Flynn. How much money was wasted, how much time was wasted, how far could we as a society have pushed the ball further down the field without this partisan political stunt based on a fake dossier paid for by the Clinton's? The mainstream press is so intellectually dishonest it is actually frightening. This past year when BLM and Antifa burned American cities they stood by and called them "mostly peaceful protests." ABC has a transcript of Trump's speech at the rally in DC. I didn't listen to it (don't listen to any of his rambling speeches), but I did search the transcript and this is waht he said "I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard." This was Trump inciting an insurrection? Contrast that with the DNC leadership taking a knee as Antifa and BLM burned parts of country? Seriously? My rambling point is... Clinton, Bush, and Obama all had negative press but nothing like this and under all previous administrations the press could at least acknowledge the good that was done. In Trump's case he gets zero credit for the economy, minus COVID he would have coasted to victory on this issue alone. Standing up the to Chinese was WAY overdue. On a side note, I have no idea how deep the Chinese ties to Biden are, but I find it very telling that on inauguration day the official Chinese leadership Twitter Account mocked trump and cheered that he was out of office. Under Trump America became not only energy independent but a net exporter of oil. While the environmentalist howl reasonable people will do some research and see how this one move changed the entire dynamic...it is actually helping carbon emissions as we are now likely past peak oil and the market was forever changed. Did you happen to notice that market was so disrupted that the price of oil went NEGATIVE under Trump (yes there were several factors in that pricing), but when compared to other Presidents it is remarkable highest was under Bush at $166.60 a barrel, second highest was Carter at $125.77 and third highest was under Obama at $124.44). Leaving the Paris Climate Accord was a very smart move, the negotiated American position was horrific. Do you know that under the terms of the accord that we just rejoined, all American children have to receive education not just on climate change, but how to PROTEST CLIMATE CHANGE! Come on man. In my humble opinion leaving the WHO was another very good move for America...before you get upset I would ask if you have done any research on the WHO? Even though I believe they acted as agents of China, put the COVID thing aside and look at the organization. Auditors have repeatedly slammed the WHO because they spend more on EXECUTIVE TRAVEL ($800 Million, first class baby), than they do fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria...COMBINED. Should we have left them forever, of course not, but Trump was a good negotiator and it rocked the WHO when we left. There are other things that if viewed without bias were actually very good for our country...my favorite being the conversion of Qasem Soleimani into charred hamburger. You stated this was the first time you ever voted for a DNC candidate...for me it was a tough choice because I think Trump is an extreme narcissist who says horrible things, but when I took a step back and looked at the policies and the things Biden, Harris and the squad want to do to America...not a chance in hell. You point out QAnon...I agree horrible organization but the left is saying equally horrible things and they own the press. Look no further than the chief counsel at PBS who said "children of Trump voters be forcibly send to reduction camps". That is acceptable to you? I get it people hate Trump...As I have said multiple times, I do not like him or what he says. But the alternative is even worse.

If we're going to talk about mental illness, why are we all of a sudden concerned about it when we've had a sociopathic narcissist and compulsive liar in the WH for the past 4 years? I'd take Uncle Joe over Piece of Shit Trump any day of the week. No, I don't like Harris. No, I don't like "government by Executive Order." Maybe the Biden 1st presser went better because the press sec didn't march into the room, declare an obvious lie, and march out.

How many jobs has he killed in those 2.69 days?

LOL. Same here. I would have taken any assignment on my dreamsheet. Admittingly, a couple were shooting for the stars though most would have been doable. But, the AF decided that I needed to go back to the base and airframe I PCSed from. No thanks...7 day opted. Two years later I'm a captain at a major airline and made O5 in the reserves....thanks for the assist, AF!

This is what happens when the party, and to a large extent, the voters don't know what they believe anymore. The activists with very clear, but very niche goals take over. I'm amazed by how many democrat voters I talk to don't know what their party is pushing. This topic is literally one of the examples I'm thinking of. Americans are spending more time than ever attacking their political opponents and defending their allies, yet almost no time thinking and discussing what they actually believe. This is not by happenstance.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for taking the bait. Of course Biden had nothing to with that decision. However, for the last four years the left and the mainstream press blamed EVERY single thing that went wrong on Trump. Have the intellectual honestly to apply the same standard to Biden... Oh I can hear you know...But But But. Not my meme but it certainly holds true. I have yet to see the grand reach across the political aisle, instead it has been a slew of executive orders and a complete dodge on the question of impeaching Trump. He has the opportunity to push the Trump thing aside...appease and calm the GOP faithful and focus on COVID-19 relief, but he doesn't have the backbone to stand up to Pelosi and her requirement for revenge...he doesn't even have the stones to voice an opinion. #Sad

I mean in either case, if a dude is killing it all the way to phase 3 and then his grades just hike off a cliff, that was clearly a wasted oppurtunity to retain some great talent. This was a problem that could have been easily fixed.

And how nice that once the photo op was over Biden had the National Guard sent to sleep in a parking garage.

Do you ever think that Trump may have gotten more negative press coverage because he’s a worse human being with worse policies? Just like how I talk more shit about my sisters abusive ex husband than her current husband? Not everyone is entitled to 50-50 good:bad press.

6 gen concept art, flat and no tails: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rAlodO Not sure if this would be 6th gen but an LO UCAV needs to be here: And just because, an updated Attack platform, still built around the gun:

Sounds like the buffoonery has not gotten better. Back around 2014, we had a husband & wife in the community, both pilots, both patches. They wanted to stay, they just wanted to stay together. Leadership pushed for them to get squadron commands at the two different bases (Ellsworth and Dyess). They both said "one or the other, we care more about keeping the family together than we do about our careers". O-6s insisted on it, because it would "be a good career move" and "it's only two years" and "needs of the Air Force". They both decided to get out instead of taking command. Another WSO was offered one of the SAM aggressor jobs at Red Flag. She just wanted a break from the constant deploy-home-repeat cycles. Told the OG/CC she just wanted to do the 3-year tour and come back to the cockpit. OG/CC insisted that "I can't be the person who lets a WSO leave the base when we're so undermanned". So she got out. OG/CC now lost a WSO permanently instead of for 3 years, and some other base lost a body to fill the Red Flag spot.

Actually he should fix everything in less than 100 correct?

Ok, I guess you think you got me? He's been president for what, 2.69 days, I can't believe he hasn't fixed the decades of partisanship already! I think you may be forgetting the 8 years of blaming Obama for every bad thing that happened. Stop being a sore loser for long enough to realize that during Trump's presidency Democrats didn't invent blaming the president for crap that went wrong. Not much of a fake bait there hoss, the statement you made falls in line with 90% of the statements made by every Trump apologist on this forum. This was the first election I've ever voted for a democratic candidate of any flavor. Thank the bang up job done by the QAnon savior for driving enough people like me away to lose him the election. I feel like you guys all band together at these pseudo zingers and upvote/like each other's posts that slam the supposed liberals. #notsurewhywearehashtaggingthis

Since we're discussing memes... Bernie Sanders sitting at the Inauguration takes over internet Two of my favorites...

https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-bidens-first-day-began-the-end-of-girls-sports-11611341066 I don’t think this was a good move. There should probably be a separate category for trans, because biologically male to female transitions are still going to have a lot of the physiology of the biologically male body.

The internet is weird. And it’s only going to get weirder as we get older. Imagine responding directly to one of Robin Olds’ forum posts bitching about finance.

“Quit hating people you disagree with”. So damned true. The last 30 seconds were the best part.

He has been one of the more vocal republicans the last few days. I thought about him on our board. Glad he is speaking up.

What if the CSAR platform was unmanned? https://www.flightglobal.com/military-uavs/cormorant-uav-aces-medical-evacuation-trial/128285.article Have a similar drone to the one in the link navigate to the CSEL position, and have the isolated person crawl into the back and hit the "go home" button. Added bonus for not putting additional personnel into harm's way, though that ride home could get exciting for someone who's already had a bad day.
