dream big

Good question on the DOD. Yes it would get a funding cut; but not on the backs of our troops or training (ie sequestration 2013). Those cuts should come from eliminating proxy wars and conflicts such as Afghanistan where we drained resources for almost 20 years without a coherent strategy. However, just because we are asking for a smaller government doesn’t mean less funding for the DOD. Those asking for a small government are simply wishing the scope, power and overreach of the government was limited as the constitution intended. This is mostly towards domestic policy; foreign policy and the DOD are very much one of the few functions of the federal government.

He is at least right about one thing : as little government as possible. Push power down to the states and local governments. One seriously must be living in a bubble if they believe the answer to their problems is “more government.” The government couldn’t run a convenience store without running it into the ground. Seriously what is wrong with people?

No one is talking about it because the media is complicit in the plan to destroy this country from the left. Where have you been the last 5-6 years? If this was Don Jr or Eric with the same degree of evidence it would be on 24/7 coverage, tell me I am wrong? I do agree that this won’t sway many undecided voters. The question is how many will enthusiastically get off their behind and vote for their candidate. Look at the enthusiasm at their rallies, and I think you’ll get your answer. Side note: the economy was booming under Trump prior to China infecting then world with Covid...and all things considered the economy is making a strong rebound (unless you live in states like Michigan or New York.) Trump has already proven he can make the right decisions for a strong economy amongst other things.

She’s a typical arrogant, smug California liberal. Hasn’t accomplished anything besides blow married men to get hired and put black people behind bars for drug offenses she herself bragged about. However, that fake laughter ? Not sure anyone sane could deal with that for 4-8 years. Yikes.

McCain I guess? The Rep from Illinois that flies ISR in the guard who visits this forum. George W flew in the Texas ANG.

Agreed...including your 44th President: Barack Hussein Obama, until Summer 2012, right before his re election. Who was his VP? So please liberals ...spare us the self righteous BS.

He also illegally detained thousands of innocent Japanese Americans behind bars ..weird, the self righteous liberals always forget that little detail when they praise him.

Define ‘quality of life’? Paying >60% taxes doesn’t constitute quality of life for me and many Americans. However many in those countries are happy so like the old saying goes “one man’s trash..”. That’s the beauty of America for the most part; freedom and liberty to make your own choices and spend your own money ...because god help you if you think our government can spend it more effectively.

Private investment and then let the private sector handle it as was intended with the way our country runs; with limited and reasonable oversight. Why do (both sides) always run to the government for their problems? I don’t want crackpots like Bernie/Biden or illiterates like Occasional Cortex responsible for any more of my money than I already give for them to mishandle. Also, as much as I love Trump, I don’t want him having too much power and have not appreciated many of his executive orders.

Fixed it for you

I’m not sure how it is possible to spin imbeciles licking toilets... but okay!

This was very true especially at Whiting before big AF robbed people of that opportunity. Worked 3 hours a day in flip flops and the squadron tee shirt (navy always wear sq colored shirts) cooking burgers on the flight line, then going to the beach and chasing women. Life didn’t suck then.

I guess you don’t want us out of Afghanistan and Syria?

Let’s make a separate climate change thread. Back to Doe Biden and Orange Man please.

I 100% guarantee you everything will go back to normal after the election. French Revolution? America is doing just fine. Yeah socialist views are on the rise and racial tensions/riots are an issue but America will survive it. It was built to survive this kind of crap. I’d like to think we live in a country where the outcome of the President should not matter. I don’t want one individual having that much power.

Did we watch the same debate? Biden looked like he was about to have a stroke the whole night. My only wish is that Trump interrupted less which would’ve highlighted Joe Biden for how troubled he is. Biden also said some nasty things during the debate but no one is interested in that, just Orange man and the Charlottesville lie being perpetuated by Biden. I can understand people’s aversion to Trump, I prefer his policies and don’t really pay attention to his personality which at the end of the day is more or less harmless tough talk. But if anyone can honestly watch Biden and believe he is capable of leading on the world stage after pissing and moaning about Trump’s personality for 4 years, then that is the height of hypocrisy.

Sorry guys, picked up for what? Haha

Hey man, I’m not going to sit here and say that Trump is a saint. But you can’t sit there and criticize the morality of Trump while claiming Biden is a “decent man.” Most intelligent Trump supporters would never try to convince you that Trump is some kind of saint, but in a government where most politicians are scumbags, we will take his policies which even his most ardent opponents would agree have been beneficial for the country.

Do you respect him constantly sniffing women and making racist remarks?

When the Democratic Vp nominee Harris proclaims that the riots should continue, then I think we have our answer on which party represents the rioters and looters best.

Dems should be careful what they wish for. News to me being stationed in PACAF, Guam and American Samoa lean significantly right of center in terms of politics.

Cool story, where did they hurt you?

What’s your fucking point? This was already posted a while back in reference to mortuary affairs, the original source of the patch. Classic PA mixup but in true leftist media fashion blow it up into some Trump conspiracy.

What? Zero comparison

There have already been programs to get sharp enlisted dudes through pilot training. It is called commissioning.
