The Next President is...
It will likely prove itself. Probably. Vote for someone not named Trump or Biden. Nerve? He ain't doing this to save you from Biden. He want to be bigly again and do whatever the fuck the wants. That is why he loves Putin, dictator for life. He wants that. I didn't say Russia, I said sleazy payday loan shark, you know, the kind that often prey on the young enlisted folks. We?

I can't wait to see the live action Punchout on Netflix with Glass Joe and Mike Tyson.

The Next President is...
Neat. So he might have a problem getting briefs as a candidate. Plus the room elephant that he probably made a deal for the money. I wonder what it was... pardons? table seats? Ambassadorships? Favorable judges in the right spot? Blagojevich did jail time for that kinda shit. When 30ish legitimate money institutions say no, and fuck no, then some dude that thrived off shady shit steps in, I can draw some thoughts off that.

The Next President is...
So apparently a billionaire that got rich off high interest payday loans put up the bond for Trump, calling it a business deal. Isn't that a red flag for holding a security clearance, ie, beholden to an individual for a large sum of money and thus corruptible?

Today in hypocrisy...
Jon Stewart should ask John Oliver to do a piece on this. Then Stewart can do his thing on some of the horseflys bugging Oliver. I find it odd that a politician thinks they can bully someone like these two, both of whom have a popular platform and sometimes use it for a righteous cause, like 9/11 Responders.

The new airline thread
Yeah, and once upon a Smisek, United had to pay USPS about $50Mil for fraud, so I think we're hauling the mail for free for a few years. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2AQ2ND/

Back in my day it was just LGB and represented by a pink triangle. Must be a dodecagon by now.

Ammo is heavy and more compact than cinder blocks. I think a case of 45ACP weighs about 25lbs. Partial DITY that stuff instead, and then you have ammo at the end of the travels.

Music
I'd like to introduce you to the hardest-workin' band in the world. On bass, Derek "Meatman" Scully. On piano, Steven "Soul Surgeon" Clifford. Dean "Mr Nipple" Fay on sax. Joey "The Lips" Fagan on trumpet. Our gorgeous chanteuses are Bernie, Imelda, and Natalie. Deco "Deep Throat" Cuffe on vocals. On lead guitar, Outspan "Fender bender" Foster. Finally, on drums, Mickah "Don't Fuck With Me" Wallace. Ladies and gentlemen, The Commitments!! This is fictitious band, where the actors actually sing and perform, and some eventually form the real life band, The Commitments. Great soundtrack, in my top 10 movies of all time. Man, to show up with your dad to his audition and belt out a tune and get the lead singer role at 17... legend. Happy St Patty's Day.

Music
In staying with my theme of fake bands (but real musicians make it so..) this lady puts POWER in a power ballad when she belts out, "It takes my flesh from bone" and it takes off from there. I give you We All Die Young by Gabriela Gunčíková. Next, this is the greatest band you've never heard if, unless you spent time in Japan. Here is Art of Life by Japan X... hope you got 30 minutes for the listen.

I prefer fake bands. Eddie and The Cruisers were real and Eddie didn't die.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
You know, it's getting so cliche in shows/flick when 2 male characters that have zero developed back story and no stereotype behaviors, all of the sudden just start macking and sexing. Today, I'm shocked if it turns out all the dudes in a show are just regular joes. Southpark nailed that shit with their Disney Woke Pandaverse episode.

F1 Thread
Until it loses link, smacks into a driver and causes a pile up. Also, in F1 Drama, why would Horner dick pic another woman when he married to Ginger Spice?

Until all the Panera workers quit and go to Micky-Dees. But then McD will start making their own buns and selling em. Subway is toast because their bread isn't bread.

Tictok challenge 2024!* Gab a can of 50/50 mix of high octane and diesel (flammability and sticktoyoutiveness) and the best 1 strike torch and challenge away. Shooting up a school is so passe. This is how you get likes and views! * Satire

1970's SCI FI TV
Man, where to start. I loved Thunderbirds. My son now owns all the movies on DVD. Battlestar Galatica with OG Cylons (although I also enjoyed the reboot... who wouldn't want to be haunted by Tricia Helfer, aka Six); Buck Rogers was fun too. We had Capt Kirk and damn dirty apes. The Black Hole (Disney flick if you can believe it) had a menacing killer robot and a lobotomized crew of a madman. Alien I think is a 70s film. On the animation side there was G Force and The Hobbit. Then the wacky stuff like Death Race 2000, the short film Hardware Wars with Ham Salad, And Rollerball! Now stand for the Corporate Hymn.

VRRAD is Back!!
AF needs a new A1. Yo, try these out. 1. TIS counts. Upon re-retirement, pay is calculated from the last single month. 2. Free Tricare, forever, dental too. At 65, it remains Prime/Select/Std and covers spouse til they pass. Full freedom to select PCM. 3. Tax free bonus, enough to fully fund a 401k (managed by Schwab or similar) to IRS max; 1:1 401k matching. Base pay multiplier. 4. ANG/Rsv that want an active retirement, its automatic upon retirement regardless of years served, but calculated at years served. 5. Reset on Post 9/11 GI Bill. 6. Free SBP and 100% for spouse, not 55%. Gotta take care of the Mrs/Mr/Sugar. 7. Guaranteed cockpits at signing. 8. No PT tests, no OPR (or whatever its called), no PRF (but step promotions allowed), blues not required, no mobility status, no GTC, no ADSC, PCSs negotiated 9. O-6 level BAH (gotta pay for that Captain mortgage). 10. Retirement pay continues and VA pay/offset, if applicable, continue. Besides, it's a different DFAS. If Retired DFAS starts messing around with it, they'll fuck it up. Best to just let it continue as is. OK A1, your turn.

Once flew with a dude that took reloading a step further than usual and made his own primers; chemicals, anvils, etc.

Late to Rate
In all seriousness, most of my class was late rated. Many went on to command, a few even at the wing level. So show up, kick ass, and chew your bubblegum, even if you run out of gum.

Tucker + Putin Interview
Well then, when are the English coming back to reclaim your country? Or the Natives? Any Incas still around? Ooooh, crocodiles, since they came from dinosaurs.

Tucker + Putin Interview
Fine, Putin is the best dude ever, such a big caring heart. He's Mr Wonderful and would give anyone the shirt off his back. All hail Perfect Putin, a true angel. He should get the Nobel Peace award. 🤑

I'm sure both are capable of saying "bitch, please" in a debate. I say they go Thunderdome, no ref, two women enter, one woman leaves, the other via a stretcher. They can even shout policy one liners as they trade shots. The winner gets mad respect and shows the world they can kick ass.

Tucker + Putin Interview
A big issue with that (underlined) is a large chunk of humans will see this, or have it shoved thru their Tiktok eyeballs, and adopt the forced opinion that the Ruskies are good. The US has a sizeable group of the dumb ones. Putin won the interview. How about Tucker take the tape, hand it over to the IC, and tell em to have at it, especially since Tucker was denied getting the WSJ released. Even better would have been if Tucker greeted him and gave him a Novichok handshake.
