That “whistleblower” seems like a grade A douche.

UnWoke: buh bye, you piece of shit.

I laughed because I'm wondering what "establishment" he got rid of? It seems like he just brought his own version of people doing the same things under his admin. I was all for him and the potential shakeup/change he was going to bring.

Most people are partisans and don't actually care unless they can manipulate a story to support their political aims. That's the state our country has grown into. The truth no longer matters, rather "your own truth" matters and the truth you can successfully construct a narrative around is the only one of importance. Ironically, from reading the internal discussions, that is exactly the attitude that slowly allowed Twitter to spin off course into ignoring company policy and guidelines to support their own political biased. While we don't have access to the FBIs internal records I'm almost certain their conversations were similarly structured as they twisted and departed acceptable expectations of a politically neutral federal unit.

And that's why I voted for him twice. The establishment needs to get gone.

We just learned that federal government ignored the constitution and trampled 1st amendment of own citizens - not a single person is talking about it. An actual collusion with receipts. But we are talking about how ex POTUS made 4.5 mil in 12 hours with cringe fake-coins (which are now worth 600% of original value). 🙄

C'mon man!!! There isn't a border problem. I "feel" like everything is going to be ok. feel; (/fel/), noun-the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and the testing of theories against the evidence obtained. verb-a magical warm sensation combined with making a decision based off of said warm fuzzy sensation without conducting any scientific studies to support that same warm fuzziness.

I have no idea where to even begin with this? Have you ever worked in a targeting cell? Like..... no man, you don't need to listen to a JAG, it is your decision..... but if you have that mindset, don't cry when interpol takes you into custody on vacation in France because you committed a war crime... I don't know what to tell you, lol. Your attitude comes off as "my job would be a whole lot easier if I could just break the law to do it." I mean, no shit man, that's everyone. That's why we have the laws. Because when we don't people break them and do worse stuff just to make their job slightly more easy. Ask SBF, dude thought managing a $30B crypto fund was super easy without laws or lawyers....

One look at our current military leadership, both on the AD and the guard, show that any attempt to "drain the swamp" was either never attempted or was a complete failure.

I don't know of any right off hand. Seemed like he was trying. He did shake things up though.

That was a good WC Final. Way to go Argentina and Messi!!! French tears taste the sweetest. Lol

DAL has updated “12 months” to “2 years” for AD and ARC. If you have orders ending < 2.5 years, you’d be crazy not to have an app in!

I’m glad the whistleblower is anonymous but had zero issues putting names, faces, and locations of several unit members out for all the world to see. WTFO.

I don’t think Republicans will just let Trump run as a 3rd Party. They will make whatever deal they would have to. That would be a real shitty situation. Another reason we should have rank/preferential voting instead of winner takes all.

You miss the point. He doesn’t represent you or your values. He only plays at it because that’s what you and so many others wanted to hear. Like it or not, “the establishment” is a framework of necessary evils we get to work within. I don’t care much for it either, but the “establishment” in the United States currently beats all the other options out there. Even a president isn’t going to burn it all down in one or two terms and the idea that one might is the ultimate fools errand. Like it or not, burning the “establishment” down puts our country in a much shittier position than it’s currently in.

Absolutely. There’s tons of dudes who rode out the whole lost decade bumming at their guard unit.

To be fair, that could also be “WUG”

He’s not stupid. He garnered such a huge following and won the election because he was not part of the machine. He stood there and told Hillary to her face that “she’d be in jail”. Your average American had been waiting for someone - anyone to say that to someone like Hillary Clinton. He followed that campaign with a massive number of successful policies. And the machine went all in on him. He could have gotten up off the mat, dusted himself off, learned from the experience and came back with a stronger message. But he didn’t. He’s selling trading cards and continues to make outlandish claims. Which is why I don’t think he’s serious about running again even though he announced his candidacy. And that’s ok with me.

I don't trust the polls any more but most polls shows his support has crumbled. Numerous polls show Desantis favored over Trump nearly 2:1. Way way early but if Trump continues his candidacy (he is too much of a narcissist to quick now), it would be in the best interest of all if he gets trounced in the early primaries so the GOP can focus on a Desantis/Haley ticket. Also, interesting on DNC side with the hardcore Left urging Joe to declare now. I would have though they would delay and if his decline continues they can insert lunatic Gavin in his place.

It almost always is...

Titled 42 ends next week after a federal appeals court denied the Republican states appeal to have it remain in place. DHS is estimating 2,500 to 10,000 migrants will go through the border per day after Title 42 ends. What a nightmare.

It depends on what your definition of "over" is. We're in the process of redefining all of the pronouns used since English started being spoken. Also, if you're a man you're not a man and if you're a woman you're you are not a woman. This is true because of the new science we discovered called Feelings.....fing feelings. Why not change a few more definitions?

The 320 landing I witnessed last night gave the 73 standard a run for its money!

For anyone trying to decide between fixed vs rotary wing. I found a really good answer to some differences between helicopter and fixed winged pilots. What are personality differences between helicopter pilots and fixed wing pilots? "Fixed wing pilots are all friendly. Helicopter pilots are all moody. Fixed wing pilots are all confident. Helicopter pilots are all edgy, waiting for an accident. Fixed wing pilots are all happy because they enjoy big salaries and have stable jobs Helicopter pilots are all regretful because they can’t afford anything Fixed wing pilots like women with big floppy boobs Helicopter pilots like women with small boobs and hard asses. Fixed wing pilots always let the co-jo fly because they don’t like flying. Helicopter pilots never had a co-jo so when they get one they don’t want to give him the controls. Fixed wing pilots all fly big lumbering aircraft so they feel the need to drive new powerful Porsches and they drive them fast. Helicopter pilots all fly sporty responsive helicopters and have near death experiences almost daily so they drive old pickups and they drive them slowly. Fixed wing pilots go to the gym but just do curls with 5 pound weights to be seen in the gym. Helicopter pilots start out with 15 minute headstands and then deadlift 200 pounds 200 times at home where no one can see them. They are ashamed to be seen not lifting more. Fixed wing pilots like to retire at 52, because they are tired of the way the company treats them Helicopter pilots like to retire at 75, because their customers which have an aviation consultant are concerned that the pilot will have a heart attack in flight. For fixed wing pilots a long tour is a trip from LA to Melbourne with a three day lay over and return to LA. They complain about the jet lag. For helicopter pilots a long tour is being home 10 days in 15 months. They complain about too much time off. When a fixed wing pilot has a holiday, he and his wife will get a free flight to Fiji and stay in a free hotel and sit by the pool for two weeks, working on their tans, and drinking pina coladas from a coconut with pineapple chunks and a pink umbrella on the top. He scans the poolside for other pilots to swap stories with and as the day draws on some wife swapping may occur. Then refreshed, invigorated, and ready for work, he will return home. While a helicopter pilot's wife goes to her sister’s on vacation to read romance novels, the helicopter pilot feels the need to prove something to the world so he will train hard for a year for this day, working on endurance and breathing. He will fly to Lhasa and trek to Advanced Base Camp for Everest at 21,000′. Then exhausted, and ready for work, he will return home. A fixed wing pilot’s best friend is usually a black or golden Labrador Retriever. If his yard is big enough he may have two or three. A lab is a very intelligent animal and can be taught how to do very elaborate dance maneuvers, get a beer out of the fridge, close the fridge door, and give a high five on command. Due to the helicopter pilot’s vagabond, here today gone tomorrow lifestyle, his best friend can usually be found in any stripper bar. If the stripper bar is of sufficient size, he may have two or three friends there. The stripper may be able to teach the helicopter pilot some dance moves but they are usually not too elaborate and of short duration. More often than not it is the helicopter pilot that gets the beer out of the fridge for the stripper. Fixed wing pilots always seem to marry an NFL, NBA, or college cheerleader. These cheerleaders always seem to come from an old money, staunch, fanatical Christian family. The girl doesn’t want to get cut off from her inheritance so her and her father will try to convince the fixed wing pilot that due to the automation of modern airplanes, he no longer has any control over whether that aircraft will safely arrive at it’s destination or not. That decision is made by a higher deity. In addition, she will offer the fixed wing pilot any kind of sex he can dream up for the rest of his life if he’ll just go along withe their religious views, go to church with them every Sunday and sing, and say grace before every meal. From this day forward, the fixed wing pilot’s life is changed forever. Helicopter pilots have seen lots of cheerleaders on TV and on the Internet but have never actually met one. After a day of moving seventy 2000 pound loads on a 200′ long line, into a tiny hole in the Indonesian jungle at 5,000′ with 6–8 drillers running around below him, the helicopter pilot knows that the only thing that kept him and the drillers below him alive was his skill, his decision making, and the quality of the engineer that is looking after his machine at night. He knows that nobody in the sky determines his fate and dancers to the beat of his own drum. Invariably most helicopter pilots have met their wives in the Atheism section of the local bookshop. After a quick coffee at the nearest coffee shop and several question to confirm each other’s non-religious beliefs, they are quickly married. In the months to come they soon realize that their belief in Atheism is the only thing they have in common, including the use of sexual toys, wife swapping, and black labs. From this day forward, the helicopter pilot’s life changes forever. When a fixed wing pilot gets off a flight in Dubai he will buy a book in Duty Free about flying adventures in the Amazon, the Antarctic, Afghanistan, fire fighting, and Cambodia. He will nestle into his hotel room and enjoy reading the tales which reaffirm why he is a pilot. A helicopter pilot will spend 40 years flying in the most desolate places on Earth, then write a book about flying in the Amazon, Antarctica, Afghanistan, Cambodia, and fire fighting." - Dude on the internet Choose wisely lol
