  1. Go back and read his many, many posts where he accuses me of all kinds of personal things, specifically on my service, and the type of officer I am. I’ll admit, I’ve engaged a few times in a similar fashion, basically calling him “kid” or referencing his maturity. I keep trying to move on, but it’s like a dog and a bone with him. I’m no innocent, but sheesh, let it go... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Just because they got lucky, and no one got hurt doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous, or even violent. The banging on windows, which is akin to threatening violent actions, while honest poll workers are trying to do their jobs is similar. These aren’t isolated incidents. Just because the right knows how to take things right up to that dangerously thin line without crossing it doesn’t mean they are morally or ethically right. Intimidation, something the right is know for is not an isolated incident. See above examples, and look in the many posts over the last few days for your sources. I’m not on the left my friend. I see the crazy happening on both sides. Just feel like, IN THIS MOMENT IN TIME, and only this moment, the crazy seems to be a little stronger on the right. You can attempt to paint me into that corner all you want. You’re also ignoring the entire last line of my post where I said, “In all fairness, the left is often guilty of the same”. Unsure what your beef is kid, but you need to let it rest. Stop making this a fight between you and me. Stop making it personal... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  4. No, they’re also not capable of violent actions, or getting a convoy together to slow Biden campain vehicles down in dangerous ways on the interstate. Only the left would do that. You have to remember, the right recognizes hypocrisy on the left, but is blind to it in their own camp. Fairly ironic... In all fairness, the left is often guilty of the same. I feel like true independents are the only ones looking around wondering what’s happening on both sides. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. While I agree with you in principle, I don’t based on my experience in the military. Loose comparison on the student loan forgiveness thing and those who did the right thing vs those who didn’t would be the master’s degree requirement in the AF. Those who came up in that system perpetuated it because they got to positions of power and said, “I had to do it, so everyone who follows me does too!” I get it, not an apples to apples comparison, but it illustrates the point that when you’re trying to make things better for those that follow you, the path is obviously going to be easier for them, and there isn’t any kind of guarantee you’ll get any type of renumeration or “payback” for what you’ve done. You’re just happy with leaving things better for those that follow. I don’t expect my kids to pay me back for all I’ve done for them. If I can clear some obstacles I had to fight through in my time in the AF for the Airmen that follow me, I don’t care that I don’t get the time spent on those obstacles back. If I have to pay for school, and the generations that follow me don’t, I’m okay with that. I agree, it sucks that I lost out on that money, but “a rising tide lifts all ships.” EDITED TO ADD: I also don’t see how she would be able to pull something like this off. Warren is a hack, and I don’t like her. Crazy expensive and unrealistic. I just wanted to say that I am supportive of the idea if they could find a way to fiscally do it. As many of us know, starting life with significant debt simply to get an education sucks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Could that be because Trump is only fighting states where he lost a close race, and is “trusting the system” where he won? So it’s widespread, but only through about 4 locations? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. You can’t be serious, can you? I give up. You win kid. It’s just the internet after all. Somehow, my life will trudge on. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Dang, this guy is troll, level 10. Ignore him. I’d put money he doesn’t put any stock in his own words, but he’s doing a good job at pissing off a bunch of professional, military aviators. Ignore him. This is a great back and forth, and he’d have it all stop, why? Who knows...? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. To go back to something quickly from over the weekend. I've thought more about it. AOC's list of Trump supporters, IMHO, is wrong. I think it returns to a dark time in our Nation's past. Shows her immaturity, and I hope she's able to grow up a little.
  10. You guys are right. I had a little too much fun with it, but see the error of my ways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I think your grasp of reality is loose at best. Okay, for the benefit of everyone else, I'll stop screwing with him. I just don't understand why people keep biting off on his trolling responses. Don't humor him anymore... His immediate go to is, "but you're not using facts, please give me yet another example I will ignore in my next response as well."
  12. and of the two of us, one of us has resorted to name calling. Have I gotten under your skin. Toughen up buddy.
  13. This is just getting fun. Did I trigger you? You're making it too easy. I started out trying to work with you, but your continued, intentional ignorance in the face of fact, reason and logic just makes it hard to take you seriously anymore. Notice what I bolded in your reply. You sure you wanna stand by that statement? You're embodying sexist ideas by saying emotion tends to a feminine quality. Ideas like that, men shouldn't exhibit emotion, are definitely sexist. In a real discussion/argument emotion has no place. You continue to ignore what people say, so now I'm just screwing with you. It is so predictable, the tropes you will immediately apply to a given response. If you think these are emotional responses, sorry buddy. And yes, you are right, I am condescending to you. That means to talk down to...
  14. Just helping you out here again buddy, since reading does, in fact appear really tough for you. Accusations alone can damage/destroy careers. If you haven't seen it, you aren't looking...
  15. Hate to quote myself, but since you continue to refuse to see the point, I'll post (with bold, italics to make it easier for you this time) this for others because I know you'll still ignore it. The thought process way back in the day created the system used now. That system is what makes it difficult for women/minorities. Again, Guardian doesn't seem to read too well, so I'll reiterate it one more time, suggestions on how to fix the process have all been said in here. I can't help you if you refuse to read it...
  16. Please, enlighten the group... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Agreed! CinC spoke out of both sides of his mouth on China until the Rona. Unfair trade out of one side, great leader, great country out of the other. His “hard line” with China could have been so much more effective, but I’ll take the little he did do. More than Obama by a far cry... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. That is absolutely the point trying to be made here. It wasn’t done because of/by sexist/racist people. The thought process at the time excluded those people. We haven’t corrected for it yet. The cockpit sizing issue is a very difficult one to tackle because it requires significant chuncks of dollars to fix. Other issues (before you ask, they’ve already been highlighted in here multiple times) are not as difficult to tackle. No one is accusing anyone of being racist/sexist.

  20. This was the equivalent of me asking you to show me a dog, you pointing to a dog and saying, "that's a dog" then me saying, "ok, I see what you're saying, but I don't see any dogs, can you show me an actual dog?" Except, in this scenario you gave an example of how the system can hurt certain people, and Guardian said, "ok, but I don't see how that hurts certain people. Can you show me yet another example I will disregard?" Just don't respond anymore. He'll ignore the facts and then say you're the one ignoring the facts. Give it about 5', he'll be on here saying I'm projecting, or to put it on his level, "I'm rubber you're glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you..." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I couldn't agree more with you on this. I don't think you should be able to run for president until 50, reason being you've actually lived some life to have experience on a large swath of subjects, yet young enough to still be "in touch" with younger people. No older than 65 because you're now officially too old to really be in touch with what is going on. Only my opinion. No data to back it up.
  22. You guys remember when Trump tweeted: "Vladimir Putin said today about Hillary and Dems: In my opinion it is humiliating. "One must be able to lose with dignity." So True". He said that on Christmas Eve in 2016. For anyone else, that would feel pretty silly right about now. But since he doesn't feel he lost, it doesn't apply. Funny huh!? Reminds me of when Obama read the mean tweet on Jimmy Kimmel. Trump said Obama would go down as one of the worst presidents in history. Obama then said, "At least I will have been a president..." He even dropped the mic. It was hilarious, but like Seadogs predictions, it didn't age well.
  23. I agree with much of what you say, but I'm curious as to what you're basing your assumptions of Trump's "earnest" intent on, or why you think he would only be doing it because that is what is advisors were telling him to say initially. On the medical conditions stuff, I don't get why people with zero access to the individual, zero medical training, especially in that particular specialty feel free to speculate on medical conditions. All these Monday morning quarterbacks claim sleepy Joe has dementia, and others say Trump is crazy or has Asperger's, or whatever. Could it simply be that Joe Biden is a 77 year old man, so a little slower in speech? I'm no expert, but I've talked to a lot of old people over the years. They just aren't as spry as they used to be. Could it be that Trump is simply an A-hole that thinks he's smarter than everyone else? Everything you're saying could very well be true. It's just interesting that everyone acts like they KNOW.
  24. Should we keep a running tally of your incredibly bold predictions? You're on a roll.
