Well, first off, I didn't really care. I think he was a bad choice and I think he was a bad congressman. But... What's this "majority of" nonsense? You've been accused of drinking alcohol, fucking women, gambling, saying mean things, attending sex parties, and raping a minor. Sure... You didn't rape a minor, but you still did the majority of those things... Right? Sorry bud, the majority of those things aren't illegal. And if he has never been accused of the crime of sex with a minor, no one would have ever cared. It's the ultimate bait-and-switch.

Yup. I'd love to see if they were using the same batshit-crazy witness that the DOJ dismissed. They almost certainly are, and that guy is literally in jail. But it's not all bullshit. He was clearly living the sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll lifestyle, which while legal, is probably not how he portrayed himself to his constituents. And even though he wasn't the perpetrator, sex parties are notorious for hiring prostitutes to balance out the male-to-female ratio. He's gross, but not that gross, and probably not a child rapist.

Similar, except we use a different bank entirely for overseas/safety accounts. Transfer money from fidelity --> overseas account when needed, and we never carry the cards for the Fidelity CMA. That way if I'm held at gunpoint there's nothing on me that indicates the existence of another account to withdraw from. Just the USAA accounts with <$1k in them. That said, I don't actually have a fear of the fidelity accounts getting accessed as a function of my CMA being breached, but we already had the USAA accounts, so using them in this manner was simple.

Could you explain the debit card fraud concern a bit more?

And we never wanted to. 🤣

Two years of memes and I have no idea what the fuck you people are saying.

You guys are arguing over whether or not she's a real Democrat or Republican as though we aren't in the middle of another generational transformation of the parties. There is no party ideology right now. Obama was the death of the Kennedy-to-Clinton Democratic party and Trump was the death of the Nixon-to-W.Bush Republican party. We have no idea what the next versions of the parties will look like, so how can we know who is a "real" member?

I found it easier to just pretend you had no idea the rule existed, or that you forgot. Playing dumb was a surprisingly powerful tool in an organization where the entire officer system was predicated on the officers voluntarily pushing themselves to the limit on the hopes of securing promotions. And in Bagram, my missing reflective belt was always wherever I was going. I kept one at the squadron and one in my room for the rare time an SNCO wanted to call my bluff and follow me to the destination. Drove them bonkers.

So many questions. Were they able to get visual on the missile? Did they just eject when they heard the warning, in an time that they had no expectation taking fire? Did the missile ship broadcast to bail out over guard? 😂🤣

That's the crux right there. It would be great to have a disruptor with operational experience. But we don't. I'm not a big Tulsi fan, but what we need right now are people willing to slaughter sacred cows, and the best people for that task are the ones who have been scorned by the priests of the old religion.

Agreed. Unfortunately Luigi-the-spoiled-assassin probably set back the attempt to get them deregulated by several years

Ok.

They are terrified of what's coming. Good.

They aren't. It looks that way when you catch two different intersecting orbits that illuminate and extinguish at the intersection point. I've seen it and it's completely trippy, but the giveaway is usually that it's repeating, which makes sense because the satellites are evenly spaced in their orbits. It doesn't take a lot of mental horsepower to debunk the "conspiracy." Alien spaceships have no need for headlights. And secret government programs that have functional anti-gravity propulsion systems aren't going to leave the nav lights on while they do donuts over population centers for fun.

Yep. No different than all the pilots talking about UFOs right now because they don't understand how starlink satellites reflect the sun back at us.

These guys wrapped themselves in the blanket of "being faithful to the Constitution" because they believed their holy purpose was to thwart Trump's agenda. Maybe they should have just turned down the job, since they didn't agree with the policy objectives of the duly elected president. There's no way to be "the resistance" against Trump's agenda without also being the resistance against the American populace that elected him. They are pretty, wannabe dictators, and it's a relief to see the Trump team change course. If you aren't loyal to Donald Trump, you have no place in the cabinet. There is no constitutional position on Ukraine, the middle east, immigration policy, etc. So no, you aren't defending the Constitution by subverting the president's agenda. You are in fact shitting on it.

In your experience were the pilots facing their second board to Major primarily flying airplanes?

This is why I recommend the ACSS reticle that holosun has. It's a game changer for compact conceal carry. https://unclezo.com/2023/01/31/giving-the-acss-vulcan-dot-on-the-holosun-507k-a-fair-shake/amp/

I will say that fun isn't necessarily the metric for a carry gun, and if you weigh 120 lb or less that might be the best option. But the bigger frame of the X/XL variant is much nicer to shoot

Both will be available at most ranges to rent. I thought the 365 was too small, but the 365x is perfect. I'm a medium frame human. It does require a little bit more skill with the short barrel, but that's just another excuse to hit the range.

We needed a study to prove this? Was this done by the same team that "uncovered" traumatic brain injury in football players? I can't wait to see how they prove the Eagle drivers live in a disproportionate number of two-father households.

The Democrats are going to have a full-scale meltdown over this. Biden gave the presidency to Trump, and now he's giving him the moral authority to do anything he wants while in office. I couldn't have asked for a better finale to the Biden show.
