Curious how you aerial refuel bombers, airlift, and consolidate into other tankers without being an airliner sized aircraft and still having the ability to give a 40K+ offload?

So, you’re willing to cut a position and then privatize it (e.g., your ATC example)?

When you cut in this administration, the position is eliminated. How do I know? I was a GS in this administration. I do agree there there are plenty of federal workers positions that are bloated and need to be eliminated, however you cut with a scalpel, not a chainsaw. These idiots are cutting key positions, like the nuclear scientists at NNSA, and then frantically trying to hire them back when they found out they are actually needed. There’s going to be time when those SMEs tell them to fuck off and they don’t come back, taking their decades of knowledge with them.

A phenomena in AMC is once a pilot pins on O-6 they become retarded with flying. Another phenomena is sending retarded pilots who are terrible at flying, but great at being an exec and other worthless qualities, to a PHOENIX program to crossflow to another AMC MDS. The current idiot who’s the Chief of Flight Safety at Elmendorf is a prime example of this.

Yeah, that GS-13 salary is really insane compared to the $40B the US just bought in Argentinian Pesos. Why’d we do that again?

That shutdown lasted 21 days. It’s currently the second longest shutdown behind the 2018-2019 shutdown during Trump’s first term. The current shutdown is currently at 17 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_shutdowns_in_the_United_States

He was fired today, Top 10 buyouts in FBS history. I think Matt Rhule from Nebraska will be their next HC.

RVS 2.0 also includes a framework for autonomous AR.

So, is it going to fly with a boom operator?

That one guy obtained convictions of 100 mafia members when he was a federal prosecutor, which is 100 more than Bondi. A quick Google search of his bio shows he held the title "Director of the Criminal Justice Division" in the New Jersey AG office. I dunno about your part of the world, but in mine, when you have "Director" in your job title, you're usually running a major office. Especially in the 11th most populous state. While being an AG of a state is pretty substantial, it's not the same scope as being the USA AG and being a cabinet-level official who's leading the biggest law office in the world and overseeing the DEA, FBI, U.S. Marshals, etc. If you're referring to Merrick Garland, he was such a liberal that he upheld the death penalty in multiple appeals and sided with law enforcement in cases like U.S. v. Watson (1999) when he was the Chief Judge leading the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. That really doesn't sound very liberal of him. He was actually considered more of a centrist. Though rare, Janet Reno argued U.S. v. Virginia (1996) in front of the SCOTUS in the case that allowed women to enroll in VMI. Robert Kennedy also argued a case for the U.S. when he was AG. In the end, I don't really care if Bondi keeps her job or gets fired, so your comment of "gnash your teeth all you want, but that's the reality" is moot. However, it's pretty entertaining to see people here, who have never been federal prosecutors, circle the wagon in her defense when critics, who have served as federal prosecutors, state she's in over her head as AG.

“Clearly biased links” apparently involve a former AUSA in the DOJ pointing out examples of how Bondi lack of DOJ experience is contributing to her current missteps as AG. Sixth-seventh of your username checks out.

It’s not irrelevant since it consistently shows she never prosecuted at the federal level. Here’s a former AUSA discussing her lack of federal prosecutorial experience is showing as AG. Warning though, you’ll have to use your critical thinking skills. https://open.substack.com/pub/staytuned/p/pam-bondi-trumps-clueless-heat-shield?r=58l99b&utm_medium=ios

The fact Steven Miller is 39 is fucking wild.

Someone to be AG who has never served as a US Attorney...ever. That's like hiring a regional airline pilot to run one of the majors.

“In Iraq and Afgh, you'd be labeled as a rogue tanker pilot if you relocated your orbit to sit over or near the TIC to facilitate the fight. I know because I've spoken with enough of them. One was even threatened with paperwork for "disobeying orders" afterwards...he was literally the airborne standby tanker with no scheduled receivers...mind blowing.” As someone with 3,000 hours and eight deployments in the KC-135, I have never seen, nor heard of, anyone being labeled that for supporting a TIC, or threatened paperwork for doing so. I have personally been apart of crews who have told C2 we were supporting a TIC on our own accord and was never given any grief about it. When a tanker’s primary mission is to do AR, then yes, fuel efficiency is a major component of the planning. Of course the CAOC are also the retards who bitch about fuel efficiency, then would have a tanker give 80K to a B-1 who would then get cleared RTB and fly home in burner.
