wow. that was a disaster from biden. but i think the democrat elite wanted that. it's too obvious that he was that bad. look for biden to get "replaced".

Lets be completely honest, the blame for the sad display we saw last night lays squarely at the feet of the Biden family, his aides and the DNC for two reasons. First and foremost, F@ck Jill Biden and the aides around Joe. It has been blatantly obvious for some time that Biden has cognitive issues. Falling up stairs, bikes, stages is one thing but the steady decline to a shuffling mumbling stooge has been on full display for sometime. His family and aides are so desperate to retain power they purposely ignored the obvious and sent him out to glitch on a national stage. To think Biden isolated for 10 days to practice for that 90 minutes is staggering. If they had been honest they would have started the process of exiting him stage right two years ago. Second, the DNC hates Trump so much they weaponized the justice system in an attempt to block him from running. It COMPLETELY backfired and in many ways helped him. By keeping him locked up in courts and gag orders they minimized his crazy, hardened his base and gave him a press conference everyday after court where he could further play to his base. The polls prove it, every time they indicted and prosecuted him, his numbers went up. When he ran in 2016 he was appealing as an outsider, in 2024 he is appealing because his is a martyr to everyone who feels cheated and believes the government is out to get them. Had they left it alone, he might have derailed himself, what an utter disaster.

Like Bashi said, this was the plan all along. This was Biden at his absolute BEST. Think of him on a daily basis dealing with shit the president is supposed to be dealing with. They've known he's been cooked for a LONG time. He's been insisting on running and they wouldn't tell him no. Whos next.

I bet Gavin Newsom is smiling like the cocksucker he is right now!

Yeah, because the NY case against Trump wasn’t BS…

Depends on what you fly as a narrow body fo. If you're just flying pre-constructed trips out of PBS, from what I understand the quality of life is probably going to be better on the wide body side, even with the lowered ability to pick your days and trips. If you use the seniority on the narrow body to pick up broken stuff, either short or long-term turns (depending on your preference) or my specialty, one short flight out, overnight, one flight back, then you can have a pretty easy life. I will probably never go wide body because the idea of sitting in an airplane for 15 hours when I can fly from DFW to OKC and be done for the day just doesn't make it worth a few extra bucks per hour. For reference, I usually fly 320 to 350 hours per year, actual seat time. I probably deadhead another hundred to 150 (often in first class now thanks to the new contract), and get paid somewhere between 1,300 to 1,500 hours, plus the 401k.

'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.'

Shut the f*** up with that "felon" bullshit. You know that's garbage and was conducted by a kangaroo court. I don't care about who the person is on an individual level, I care about their policies and how they have performed in like roles. I don't know about you but my life was vastly greater when POTUS was Trump as opposed to Biden, so I'm going with him and if you can't understand that decision, you are afflicted with TDS. Hoping he picks a good VP. Can you tell me one aspect of your life that has been better under the current leadership?

And you didn't? So Joe is honest, just tragically declining in his mental acuity? Just bad luck, that's all. Definitely not the idiot of Congress for 30 years who sent his son around the world to collect money from the people he's supposed to represent the US against. Just a poor old man. Unfortunate timing. They are two liars who treat the people around them like disposable garbage, neither more committed to the American people than they are to their own vanity, with kids who would be nobodies if not for their last names. At least Trump got his money and fame from the wallets of investors and corporate Toadies, while Biden took it from our tax dollars. You are exhibit A for why Trump is winning. Even in your disingenuous attempt to claim intellectual and moral superiority, you insist that these "unacceptable options" are still somehow different. For the millionth time, Trump is just the first one who looks on the outside the way they all act behind closed doors, including *everything* he's being taken to court for. Why vote for him? Because you'll get more conservative policy from the (R) abomination than from the (D) abomination. That's it. Obviously progressives prefer different policy, so choose the other shitbag. I'll be voting for no one this year. I'm done voting for dinosaurs from either party.

We are a Republic, not a Democracy. Democracy is two wolves and sheep deciding on what's for dinner. A Republic is two wolves, a sheep, and sheep dog deciding. Anyways, none of this or the debate would matter if the Federal Government hadn't grown into such a leviathan consuming 40% of the economy. Before we got to such a point, it didn't matter all that much who was president because the Feds didn't have control over so much of your life. Now every election is do or die...

There was one moment in the debate where I didn't feel like I was wasting my time and reminded me not to take this entire clown show too seriously. ROTFL. "That's the biggest lie... that he's a 6 handicap... of all. I've seen your swing." https://x.com/SleeperGolf/status/1806514729290265004

Biden came with a handful of darts. Trump showed up with a fucking sawed-off. Both are randomly targeting, but one is hit way harder. That was a mess.

MSNBC and CNN are in full meltdown mode saying Biden should decline the DNC nominee.

The A-37 arrives today. I'll arrive late Friday and leave Sunday afternoon. Mark is doing the display flying and is really good at it. We asked Hill to have the plane parked in the public area, and not sequestered off in the Hot Pits. Our goal is for people to see this rare plane up close. I'll be near the jet most of the day. Come by and say hi.

This! I was recently asked to be a LCA. You need 1,000 hours as a DAL Captain...after just over 2 years, I'm just about to break 500 block hours as Captain, so I have a couple years to go. I only like to do day turns so they'd have to be ok with me teaching that. I'm also a habitual show at 35 min prior to push guy, so that doesn't work well with teaching. But the biggest reason is that we only pay LCA pay on the block flown while teaching. Pay it on my entire months guarantee/credit, whether I'm teaching or not, and I'll think about it. Until then, I'll just continue to teach them how to exploit the contract to their gain, that's much more fun to talk about anyway.

Look up journalist Sheryl Attkisson and the sketchy stuff that was uploaded on her computers by a suspected 3 letter agency because of her reporting during the Obama administration.

She was there for all of us before, she’ll be there for all of us in the future. BQZip’s Mom 2024!

You have TDS if you think the 34 felonies have substance. I’m not being rude, but you’ve challenged us to look into it. I have. Totally unprecedented- from an obviously conflicted judge to ambiguous charging criteria to witnesses testimony silenced to the gag order on a POTUS candidate to the misdemeanor elevated to felonies… it’s total third world garbage bro. Don’t even get me started on the other cases and especially the DA on his FL house. Anyone with experience knows the team left a stay behind device; it’s probably the reason for the raid. break break Let’s move past that since we won’t agree & that argument would be boring. Instead can you please expand on this intriguing quote above? Because there’s space here for common cause; I think we all feel trapped into less than ideal candidates so what does “revolt over these being our choices” mean? Serious question: what would the first step be? With no revolt over C19 I wonder if we’ve lost the ability to revolt. I feel trapped by a representative government that doesn’t represent me (although I’ll definitely be voting Trump) and this unspoken sentiment seems common.

Congrats on a great quality of life add! I f*&king hate DH. It's the small sh*t that makes the difference as I went for quality of life over dollars. We had great A320 trips, Japan to Saipan I wanted to fly but had to DH over on the Whale. Guarantee first class over (per contract >12 hrs) but coming back to US in coach due to tailwinds and always full flights. Sadly, never did them.

Trump made some bold declarations that are going to be tough to live up to but I guess that's politics.

I’m making 30% less and working 90% less at 69% WB FO than 8% NB FO. So far this year I haven’t had problems making my schedule work, but I definitely didn’t get the vacation I wanted off the bat.

Good lord

I will pick WB FO over NB FO every time.

The unique thing with U-28 compared to the AC & MC within AFSOC is that that platform will begin draw down and replacement by OA-1K (Armed Overwatch platform) will start. Timeline isn't 100% but it's happening in the next few years. So if you go U-28, that'll be in your near future. PCS for initial cadre IP/ICSO's is starting soon for the FTU while OT/DT is getting going, as well.

So those are our choices… a billionaire felon who no one can trust because he will aggressively lie without any guilt. Or a geriatric guy who can’t be trusted to form cogent thoughts or walk down two steps without the help of his wife. And the best part? The system is set up for all of you to entirely ignore your candidate and just say how absurd it is that the other side is considering voting for their “choice.” How are we the people not revolting over these two being our choices? What a joke that THAT isn’t being talked about more in place of partisan politics. Knowing this forum, incoming non sequitur about how Trump is better than Biden. I truly don’t care, they are both unacceptable options. Democracy looking not so good right now.
