  1. I turned on a segment of Fox and they are salivating at the idea of Dems being boorish. They're pre-emptively making fun of it as impotent and out of touch. Their talking points are, Americans overwhelmingly love the policies of cutting government, securing the border, and bringing jobs back by margins of up to 80:20 and the Democrats are just trying to keep trans athletes in women's sports. Dems need to focus on the economy, wealth transfers to the billionaire class and America safety impacted by cuts to FAA, FBI, HHS, etc.
  2. Yes, My grandfather took most of the photos you see of the Atlantic Charter meeting between Churchill and FDR in August of 1941. If Trump was president in 1941 he would have brought Charles Lindbergh as his advisor and said "Winston, you don't have any cards, you're gambling with World War II, I just want this war to end. Give me Canada and Surrender to Hitler." Can someone photoshop Trump in this photo for me so I can send it to my Step-Dad.
  3. Driving down the access road reving our engines was the most fun I’ve had with my car since high school. I think those women wanted rides 🤣 I think they were drinking and high. The walked up to tell us that’s how an engine should sound when it was just my car running. if the old saying of Gas, grass or ass still applies I would like the gas 💰
  4. The navy definitely wants to know the weather. Might impact the air force, spy satellites, atmospherics for electric signal intelligence.
  5. You can’t even imagine how important the weather service is to the military. It’s actually a key element of our national defense.
  6. You know how you can tell they are not serious about reducing the deficit? Instead of hiring auditors to go in and find and prosecute people illegally billing the government (The biggest unsubstantiated claim they are making about fraud and abuse) they indiscriminately slash the government workforce of the people whose job is to find WFA. Claim people cheating on their taxes, fire the IRS auditors; Claim Medicaid fraud, fire the IG; claim illegal billing, fire all the contract specialists. Then when you are done with your random firing and chaos generation, claim cost savings on all the contracts that were already executed on. 90% of a 5 billion contract is already spent? Doesn’t matter claim we saved $5B. Billions of dollars under contract to Farmers for land management, treat them like the plumber at Mar-A Largo and just don’t write the check. Sure it is a debt we are contractually obligated to pay but what’s GAAP to Trump, he’s already got 34 convictions for fraudulent accounting.
  7. The ones in Detroit don't even regret their votes. Watch this clip and this is the vibe you get. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/05/us/video/dearborn-michigan-gaza-trump-reaction-carroll-digvid?dicbo=v2-x6Q4yHX&hpt=ob_blogfooterold
  8. It's only bad if you disturb the fibers (I told myself this as I was running cables in the crawl spaces of the Pentagon. Even back in the 90s I was supporting critical missions that were not invented until the late 80s including secure network connectivity, satellite communications, encryption, ELINT, and more)
  9. Not a valid comparison. Information warfare, electronic warfare, managing sensor systems, cybersecurity, remote systems and more have exploded since WW2. Some specialized roles were not even imagined yet. Then add on more complex acquisition and logistics, nuclear power, physical security against asymmetrical threats…
  10. so like a Mr Potato head? They just snap on the ones you want?
  11. They need to update the video I posted to include the hats, flags, and tshirts
  12. I've been on over a dozen Navy vessels and what you see in that location is insulation, both temperature and noise.
  13. Elon has a botched penis implant. EHABPI Elon has a botched penis implant. EHABPI Elon has a botched penis implant. EHABPI Elon has a botched penis implant. EHABPI
  14. Where is the karma? We lost John Belushi and Chris Farley too young but this guy is hanging around?
  15. no, the one by JLJ against SMU posted here, 103 yards but I timed it endzone to endzone
  16. I timed the TD return and he did that in under 12 seconds even while moving laterally and slowing down at the end.
  17. pretty sure I was at that game with my dad and great uncle.
  18. You’re describing my stepfather except he’s full maga
  19. Ok but consider this scenario where it just keeps going
  20. Ask him what happens when the asteroid hits flat earth. Does it make a hole through it like a doughnut?
