2 pointsOh it will happen. Trump is very unlikely to win the election, and if he doesn’t he’s going to be convicted on several of these counts and end up in jail. Even if Trump somehow wins he’ll be convicted in Georgia and probably these cases will continue once he’s served his term. So while this might all take a little longer, eventually he should see justice.

2 points1893: Daniel Hale Williams performs the first successful heart surgery. The patient, Chicagoan James Cornish, lived for 20 years after Williams performed the life-saving emergency surgery. Before that feat, the good doctor founded the first black-owned hospital in 1891, Provident Hospital and Training School for Nurses, which was also the first interracial hospital in the U.S.

2 pointsI would try to not insult a host who was serving it. Most of the people who might host me have better taste so it has not come up except once at a bar. Biker dude and I were talking. He bought me a beer a Bud Light in that distinctive blue can. I thanked him and took a big swig of that swill so as to not be rude. When he wandered away I put it aside. I did send him one as I was leaving. Now that football seson has drawn to a close I don't think I will see him before next year. Some 20-something rafters offered me a cold one as I was taking out after running some rapid. I thanked them but declined saying i was getting on the road. I gave them the contents of my cooler instead

2 pointsI would lead a ragtag band of misfits in a prison camp that we used as our base of operations for sabotage and espionage purposes directed against the rebel scum.

1 pointActually, that does add up....she has demonstrated consistent support for the fringe movements and such. so it would not be a hard sell....then again its pretty common for the famous to leverage causes for their social currency......so sure.... and they are smart as hell for making her a target.

1 pointAs far as the OP question: maybe. Just hoping it doesn't come to that. The America I grew up in was worth dying on the beaches of Normandy for whereas Biden's Amerika isn't worth taking a piss for.

1 pointThat was my experience when I was in. I was more often than not led by by idiots who I didn't have very much respect for. A lot of worthless lumps. But not everyone. Online Mungwater seems like a good guy and he's given us no reason to suspect he belongs in the worthless lump category. The only clue that he might be a lump is that he stayed in so long but with officers maybe rules are different. I can't speak to it. In the enlisted ranks, the people who stay in are the rock heads. The very best of us that are talented, competent, and good at our jobs almost universally get fed up at being led by - and surrounded by - idiots and get out after one enlistment. Almost always in my experience. We'd get together with the other guys who know what they're doing, and b*tch and complain constantly and bide out time until we could get out. Only one time did the Army get someone above average to re-up. I was shocked when one of our best mechanics re-enlisted because almost universally, when you're good at your job and your time is up: you just focking leave. But this guy was married with a kid and didn't want to try his hand on the outside. If you've got three non-functional mechanics in your motor pool, the very worst of the worst is re-assigned to be the company commander's driver, the second worst mechanic takes up space then reenlists, and the third one who can't fix sh*t is the boss. And if you've only got three, you're lucky because usually there are five or six. The people who cover for these six and do all the work... don't stay. It was almost invariably the people who couldn't do anything who re-enlist and go on to contaminate the higher ranks with their incompetence. I did respect competence when I saw it and longed for working for somebody with a clue and when I had that briefly, it was a great relief. Too often in my case, my immediate supervisor was a complete dunce. NCOs claim to be the backbone of the Army but it's really fed up E4s on the back end of their first/only enlistment and anxious to get out that are the real gems who make the Army work. Anyone who stayed in long enough to become an NCO is suspect - you don't know what you're getting with them. In fairness, looking back on my arrogant 19-year-old self, I couldn't have been much of a joy to have working for with all the criticizing and complaining. I had thin skin for putting up with all the stupid all around me and suffered the consequences of that. But at least I was reliable and anything I was responsible for would get done. You learn to eat the gripes and go blow up with your friends later. The one thing you don't do is sign up for more of it. It's the only way to tell them to go fock themselves.

1 pointYea I didn't tell anyone when I did it about 2 years ago figured it would take around 3 months and I was right. So much easier now just staying in shape then have to get back in.

1 pointIt’s the worst and the funniest. I usually go at about 9 AM which is peak stay at home mom drop off the kids go to the gym time and you see the most bat crazy new people. All decked out in their new gear they don’t know what they’re doing, worst form ever. but it’s neat. They are trying. Talked to a guy today and he asked me for a little advice and I just told him man just keep showing up. Change your kitchen and just know that your mind is going to mess with you telling you to eat something bad for you…and just keep showing up to the gym.

1 pointEPS - Earning per share. AH - After hours HFS - Holy foking chit Looks like it's going to settle in at 170/share. A nice little 6% bump from the reporting. People were taking profits at 165, 170 and 175. Anyone at 175 hit it perfectly.

1 pointI’m not terrified. The world won’t end. But I think it will be dreadful. Ukraine will be lost. Taiwan will be threatened. The economy will be far worse. Undocumented immigrants and Muslims will be mistreated. Police power will be increased. We will go the wrong direction on climate change. Tariffs will go way up. It will be a dreadful time, far worse than the first time around since there will be far fewer guardrails.
