ugghh. 🤮

Yeah, you've said that. I get it. You're wrong, but that's ok.

Just to be clear, the idea is tariffs will force companies to open facilities in the US, and then? The tariffs cannot go away, they are the only thing that makes that factory make any sense. Everything will be more expensive from now on, this is a very obvious trade-off. For fuck sake, calling someone a "globalist" is a common pejorative within new-right circles (and plenty of people on this board us it as well). You guys are acting like we didn't discuss globalization and whether or not it was good for everyone and job loss/market differentiation is just the natural product of a free market, or whether the US worker got the short end of the stick and paid for the cheap stuff for everyone else. The words coming out of the president's mouth, and the vice president, and the treasury secretary, etc, etc. Basically all the language from the administration (except the guy who's leaving to go back to business) lines up with the "globalization was a bad deal" crowd.

One of the things that may (hopefully) come out of Trump 2.0 is the branches re-asserting their independence. There are parts of the judiciary doing it now, Rand and Kaine are starting to push back against tariffs. Each branch jealousy guarding its power is exactly what the framers wanted.

wrath, and nihilism

I don't disagree. I am sad and frustrated when people who should know better revel in the shit, and abandon their professed values.

Copy. Wrath. Have fun. But don't bitch if your side loses in the end.

Protections against government action are delicate. You destroy them, the next asshole just turns the government gun against their enemies, and on and on. wrath is a motherfucker

No, you're supposed to be cranky that the US gov is shitting on due process.

I don't think the people there are that stupid. They're saying whatever they think is politically expedient. They're trying to reverse globalization.

Awesome

If Trump actually throws down the tariffs he's talking about, the delusion is that Vance would be remotely close to electable. "It the economy, stupid."

No that is actually what the theory is. The eligibility to run as VP is the sticking point. The work around is Fauci level jail house lawyer shit. But that is what a certain part of the "new right" is thinking.

Purses at dawn!

Nah. Shrewd staff work to get the funding.

In sum sortie count and variety of experience is what matters, the hour count just happens. And I agree.

Ok fine, ignoring Pitt, and not arguing with a heavy guy about flight hours. Nothing about this accident screams "caused by inexperience." Your point is the procedure is dumb, which it is. Because it's fucking dangerous no matter how experienced the crew is. Her hours are irrelevant.

Except that is exactly what Pitt was doing. When actual evidence is to the contrary.

Stop. You don't know anything about the Army or what an RLO's primary duties are. You don't know what a "normal" amount of flight hours for an Army officer are in right now. You don't know anything about this person. You are pulling your un-informed, vapid internet opinions out of your ass.

Yeah, and to be fair to them, the GOP hasn't been the party of small government in a long time. They're like the party of different big government. I mean we might get some wins amongst the poop sandwich that is the trump administration, but it ain't gonna be roses the whole way down.

Just so everyone is on the same page. This is a continuation of a previous cut, right? So spending cuts are required to prevent a tax increase. While increasing the deficit and saying you're decreasing it. Anyways Continue flinging poop at each other boys!

Is anyone surprised the organization that made people take photos of their wives off of desks would also over-react here? The DoD only knows bang-bang control logic.

I have a Henry Big Boy X in .44mag. It's slick, fun, and not accurate at all. It'll shoot hot ammo reasonably (assuming you don't want to shoot past 50 yards or so), but the softer stuff is atrocious. I haven't gotten a can for it yet, but that's the plan. I basically wanted a lever gun that looked like it came out of the Fallout computer game.
