Self loathing?? Where do you see self loathing in anything written by people here who’d like to see an end to the war?? Im advocating for an acknowledgement that both Russia’s leadership and our’s should take a minute and see if peace can’t be arranged.

I’m just amazed at how leadership is so happy/eager to get back into a Cold War (or worse) type relationship with Russia. We’ll never trust each other totally, but there really is no need to be actual enemies. We’re like the dumb ass tourists you see at Yellowstone walking up to a Bison or a Grizzly just for shits and grins. Negotiate peace and stability!

Are you a fifth grader?

Ukraines taken over Trumps cabinet.

Interesting summary presented. https://x.com/LionelMedia/status/1858588723488678073 i still say we should help negotiate a ceasefire immediately and treat Russia with a little more respect. Putin was wrong to invade, but in my opinion we are also more than a little bit culpable in how all of this has evolved.

To hear Senator Pocahontas Warren calling Tulsi Gabbard a Russian Asset and Spy pisses me off beyond recognition. Unless she can actually prove it isn't that slanderous and legally actionable (even towards a public figure)? I'd love to see her charged and tried.

I think Tulsi was a great pick. Gaetz might be entertaining at times, but he ain't right. I wouldn't select him as dog catcher. I hope he steps up and does his job appropriately, but that appointment might bite trump in the butt.

Yeah because McNamara's resume was so stellar. I can guarantee Hegseth won't dick things up as much as ole Robert or Lloyd did (I might be missing some other turds in the line too).

I'm tempted to send him a hat with "All Hail the Mango Mussolini" on the front.

Ted Cruz as Supreme Court justice when Judge Alito or Judge Thomas decides to retire. Both of them are mid 70's. And, Sonia S. is having health issues, so he might end up making 3 more appointments this term. I know Nikki is a bit of a neocon but as ClearedHot said she's stable and level headed. I could see her doing well as Sec of State (she showed her backbone and commitment to the US while serving as UN ambassador).

I too always use my scope when I'm 10 to 15 feet away from my target.

The KC-135s also had 2 A/R pumps. Each would offload approximately 3,000lbs per minute. So if both were activated (which we almost always did for large offloads) it was flowing at 6,000lbs per minute (only through the boom). The drogue gave a slight penalty (maybe 10% reduced flow rate). Big Sexy might have had an even better transfer rate though.

Was told by a couple of buddies that the 10 had a way bigger slot (or envelop if you prefer) for receivers so it was much easier to refuel behind than the 135.

When the Harris/Biden administration diverts over a billion dollars to illegal migrant coddling congress had to emergency fund another 2 billion to prop up FEMA.
