  1. Bump. Details of this thing will be released tomorrow and will include how they vote. Now realize, last week, the majority of Democrats don't want illegal aliens deported for getting a DUI. That's who the Dems have negotiating this, allegedly in good faith.

    Illegal Aliens & the Schocheting of America

    The vast majority are not criminals but rather are fine people just looking for a better life and are willing to work. Despite this, they are still unwelcome, because the ones that don't work are an economic burden, while the ones that do work drive down wages of low income American citizens. It should have been obvious from the start, and it was to many of us, that neither the US government, nor states, nor municipalities have available the financial means, facilities, personnel, or other resources to provide for them. By providing more and more handouts for the needy, it just encourages more and more dependency. Low income people who are working hard and barely getting by, do not appreciate paying taxes that provide their welfare dependent neighbors or illegal aliens that don't belong here to have the same standard of living as they do. "I worked hard to pay for that. Why ae you using my tax money to give it to him for free?" This basic concept has proven true, yet has also completely escaped the Democratic Party for sixty years. It is not the responsibility of the US taxpayer to provide for people who we do not want and should not be here. We have our own issues to solve. Providing for illegal aliens means that resources are shifted away from US citizen services. Meanwhile immigration paperwork for legal immigrants doing things the right way gets stalled and backed up.

    I was reaching for the last Hot Wheels Barbie Corvette when she bumped me out of the way and snatched it, what was I supposed to do?

    If a Civil War started....would you enlist?

    In my home state, they kicked the election observers out of the room and then covered the windows with cardboard so people couldn't see in as they were counting ballots. So pardon me if I seem hesitant to get out of bed to take a piss on his behalf. I'm sure that in case of crisis, Biden can turn to his core constituency of criminals, looters/rioters, trannies, race hustlers, illegal aliens, people who feel compelled to apologize for living on stolen land, and election riggers to help out. With all the multinational corporate globalist money flowing, they’ll be well financed.

    Biden starts another war

    I don't rightly know why we're still in there refereeing the denizens of a Turd World Sh*thole that have spent the last 1300 years wanting to kill each other. Maybe somebody else could explain. To someone that lives in that jihadi terrorist toilet and is still pissed off about how George W. Bush had him playing nekkid twister with his POW buddies, having a US base nearby must seem like a pinata - in need of even more smacking than his eight wives. Seems to me being there accomplishes nothing worth doing. It risks lives, costs money, and invites trouble. And trouble came. Since we are there, we have to do something when our troops are attacked. We lost three people. So, Biden did something and now we'll see what happens next. Maybe someday soon we can re-evaluate what it is we want to accomplish there and why its worth the trouble. It's really hard for these a$$holes to blow up Americans when there are no Americans around to blow up. If no Americans get blown up, there's no need to retaliate and engage in these silly games.

    What should we do about the drone attack in Jordan?

    Things are happening. 85+ targets at seven sights were hit. The ball is in Iran's court now, we'll see what happens next.
  10. I care about the kids primarily, and avoiding the harmful effects on society secondarily, but of course I won't complain about having it align with the votes as well help too.
  11. In many cases it's not the parents either what with the state intervening and imposing legal restraints on parents rights, along with the emotional blackmail of the "would you prefer a live son or dead daughter?" charade. But fair enough, there are some kids that don't stand a chance as some parents (such as Disney executive Karey Burke) want to carve up some tranny accessory so they can score virtue signaling points with their liberal colleagues. There's no hope for a kid like that.
  12. He's talking about the adults, not the kids.
  13. You'd get a fair catch fourteen yards behind the line of scrimmage. If you go three-and-out at your 20, the other team gets the ball around their 35. This way, they get it at the 20. If you go three and out at your own five yard line, the fockers still get it at the 20.

    As 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.

    That 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.
  17. Chances are that these are the same people Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell want to strike a border deal with.

    I just moved to someplace that shares my values.
  19. As a relief to Detroit fans, Ben Johnson has taken himself out of consideration for the final two HC vacancies in Washington and Seattle. They're free to hire Aaron Glenn though. Please somebody take him.

    Maybe something big dropping today

    He's known for doing undercover journalism to expose corruption. This means his reporters embed in an organization, or go on a date, or some such thing where they present as friendly to gain the trust of a target and then record conversations without their knowledge where they get them to talk frankly about a subject. Thus far, all targets of his investigations have invariably been left wing organizations which is why the left howls in rage at him.
