Sounds like he’s perfectly qualified to be an American politician.

"Airmen and Guardians who receive the COVID-19 Bivalent Booster released in September are authorized a one-day special pass from their commander as long as the booster is administered by Dec. 1." Stick meet carrot.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/lottery-systemic-racism-massive-powerball-payout Systemic is the buzzword of the 2020s! Systemic this and that. My mom had a serious gambling problem. Was that her fault or could she blame someone else? Before you answer this, I must forewarn you that she is a pale face. Also, my family is plagued with drug/alcohol abuse on both sides. My brother did a lot of time behind bars. Who do I get to blame for this? I used to blame my brother for his actions. Maybe it's not his fault? Oh yes, I must be stupid. He's a white guy so he needs to be accountable of his own actions without a scapegoat. Not everything is someone else's fault. Take accountability for your actions and quit blaming others for your mistakes. I know some people have it harder than others (from personal experience) but quit finding excuses for them when they choose poorly (Indiana Jones). It's not working. Really, the lottery is racist? Edit: Systemic. How long has President Biden been a part of the system? What about Pelosi? Dems shouldn't get a free pass. Afterall, it's the system's fault and there are a whole lot of dems who have been part of that same system for quite some time. Too much hypocrisy in our world. It gets old hearing about how hard everyone else has it. I remember plenty of brown kids making fun of my Jordache (extra cheap) shoes in the 80s. They seemed to have better shoes and clothes than me.

I hold fast in this: We would smoke them. IF and only IF we have a national will that wants us to.

Many of the people I know in these states were quite happy with the draconian measures. Let’s not forget a good chunk of the country is very content with and needs the security blanket provided by the big government, in more ways than one. These are the Karen’s that will scream at your child if their mask falls off their nose. These states get what they deserve - one of the reasons Florida has become so red is that New York ran most of the conservatives out of the state.

Meh, if the Chinese just wait a couple of years, we'll be so busy fighting amongst ourselves, nobody will even notice or care if they invade Taiwan.

I live in Denver and loved the petitions for the booze in grocery stores thing. A bunch of old retired white dudes that looked absolutely hammered in the middle of the afternoon on a Tuesday. Naturally I signed and voted for it.

It is in the GOP’s best interest that the DNC keeps funneling money to Abrams to run. She’s far too dangerous as a non-candidate to them getting people who don’t normally vote to vote. Watch was she does with the upcoming runoff on 12/6. Iowa re-elected a dinosaur in Grassley. There is no reason why anyone in their 70s+ should be in in the Executive or Legislative Branch.

Yeah sorry guys. I'm drowning in school work and work work right now and just haven't got back to this yet.

Yeah I don't get it.

Which is wild since it generates a lot of revenue for the states it’s legal in. Colorado also passed to lower the state income tax rate.

I’m in Parker. I voted for it too since, to me, it made sense since they already sold beer in grocery stores.

Cheers to all my Republican/conservative friends 🍺 The House is still too close to call but either side will have an extremely slim majority. The Senate will either be +1 to the Dems or decided in another December GA runoff. Glad to see some of my favorite elected leaders & ballot issues have good nights (Polis in CO, Spanberger in VA, weed legalization in MO and MD, Medicaid expansion in SD.) I'm glad voting seemed to have gone smoothly and at least so far I don't see anyone throwing a fit about the results. Overall it was a very strong performance at a midterm for a party with trifecta control of DC, the norm would have been to lose ~30 House seats and a handful of Senate seats. It may end up being -4 in the House while maintaining control and +1 in the Senate, which is batting well, well above that historical average. Hopefully the GOP will put some more thought into blindly following Trump endorsements re: candidate quality. I want to see better candidates from both parties! On the plus side for the GOP, y'all may yet still get one or both chambers when all the results are finalized, the 2024 Senate map is brutal for Dems, and Biden's age will be a factor even more so than 2020 for his potential reelection. Better luck next time!

This sub-topic is asinine. You’ll probably be in a union as an airline guy, good advice not to piss them off I guess but it would be a magic trick to actually do that. Everyone already knows mil guys know zero about union stuff, don’t give a s**t, and unless you’re a total douche will teach you what’s needed. At no point should you “get familiar” with the RLA before getting there or even deliberately at any point. TBH, knowing that you can’t strike until you’re released to do so pretty much sums up the most important part of the whole thing anyway… you’re welcome, you just “got familiar” with the RLA.

It looks like the DNC strategy to promote "Trump MAGA" candidates in the primaries was successful which does indeed say Trump's influence is in decline. Let's see what his "big" announcement is on the 14th. If he gets out of the way it would be a very good thing for the GOP, sadly I don't think his ego will allow for the greater good. Personally I would go Desantis/Haley in 2024. I think the dems will eventually dump Biden and push Gavin Newsome along with another extremist.

Wow shocked Michigan and NY re-elected their gov’s. Two of the worst COVID offenders. And NM. JFC.

I know it’s not stylish to actually support someone instead of shitting on them but I’m glad you’re putting a shadow box together after a good career and thanks for your work for our country. And if you earned a DFC, Silver Star, Air Force Cross, DSSC, Medal of Honor or anything else beyond the Purple Heart or POW medal, I appreciate those as well.

The shocker…really AI, really?!

If I were them I’d chose now, in 2 years we might have a CINC that can string a sentence together. Disclaimer: To be clear I hope to god we never have to be in a position to confront China in a conflict.

Oh i know why....... "Gracias por su ayuda Biden" lol
