Well said. and a cheer for your 32 years. Be it Waltz or yourself decades of service are nothing to be dissed. Vance's conduct brings to mind General Flynn who launched and still runs the "Reawaken America" group. In May of 2023 Trump called into a radio talk show to speak to Flynn and Trump stated "we're going to bring you back". " Flynn suggested that Trump should seize voting machines and could order up the military in some states and rerun the election....A joint investigation by The Associated Press and the PBS series “Frontline” found that the ReAwaken tour serves as a traveling roadshow and recruiting tool for an ascendant Christian nationalist movement that’s wrapped itself in God, patriotism and politics and has grown in power and influence inside the Republican Party.. Flynn endorsed nearly 100 candidates ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, and continues to urge supporters to get involved in politics –- especially at the local level –- ahead of the 2024 elections." Flynn and Vance together in a Trump government is something to think about. Two yes men ready to use the military for any political purpose and the hell with the constitution.

If there was such a thing as the deep state. It would always prevail and survive till the next political party arrives. I thought that you might have had a stroke upon learning that Biden stood aside.Or that the new polling suggesting that dems might sweep the house, the senate and the presidency. May have thrown you to the depths of deep depression and denial.

Evidently Trump joked about his own Vietnam. While on the Howard Stern show he said that chasing women for sex and avoiding STDs was his "own Vietnam". Such a brave example, a standard bearer of the American male.

Do you think its contagious? Viral?

What is this discipline of the Russian army that you speak of? Does that mean sharing women captives? Sharing vodka?

Russia has been making very slow but steady advances into Ukraine at enormous cost. Ukraine has been slowly degrading Russian SAM systems in the Crimea and around the Kerch bridge. IMO Russia is slowly winning because the morale of Ukraine has been effected by the stalemate. Perhaps a Harris win will reinvigorate NATO actions because a Putin victory is dangerous.

If it wasn't for Iran the US and the west could tell the Saudis to f off. But the mullahs, Quds forces, the revolutionary guard have all united the Arab world against Iran. Its also cost the Palestinians the real support of the Arab world. The Iranians have decided that hiring wanna be hit men will be an effective strategy. So I'm sure there will be more numnuts after Trump. Trump needs some entertainment in his life so its not all bad.The next time he's trying to impress someone he can tell them some better true stories.

Iran suspected which is likely since they just sent a hit man after Trump. I guess they still have a hard on about the drone strike Trump ordered in Iraq that took out a QUD bigwig.general.

An easy explanation for what happened: "There was a helicopter. It did make an emergency landing. But a former California lawmaker says Donald Trump has mixed up one Black lawmaker for another." Because after all when you're a racist all Black people look the same. “Anyway,” he continued, “we start flying to Atlantic City. He’s talking about how great things are. And about 15, 20 minutes in, the pilot yells, ‘Shut up! Shut up!’” The hydraulic system had failed, he said. “Donald turned white as snow,” Mr. Holden recalled. “He was shaking.”( Obviously in the pre-orange days). Mr. Holden said that as the helicopter’s crew worked frantically to set the aircraft down safely, his own thoughts ran to a helicopter crash in 1989 that had killed three senior executives of Mr. Trump’s casinos over Forked River, N.J. “I just thought, how the hell do you let your staff not maintain your aircraft after you just had a crash that killed some of your staff? How could you let this happen again? I thought, if we go down, this is your fault.” The helicopter ultimately landed safely in Linden, N.J., Mr. Holden said. Ms. Res wrote about the episode in a memoir and corroborated Mr. Holden’s account in a brief interview late Friday. Ms. Res, who also spoke to Politico, recalled that Mr. Trump liked to say that Mr. Holden had “turned white” from fear, but that it was actually Mr. Trump whose face was ashen." “I said, ‘What the hell is this?’” Mr. Holden said. “‘Was he in two near-fatal helicopter crashes? He didn’t fix those damn helicopters yet?’”....... "Mr. Holden said that he called Mr. Brown to compare notes. Mr. Brown told him he had never been in a helicopter with Mr. Trump. “I said, ‘Willie, you know what? That’s me!’” Mr. Holden said. “And I told him, “You’re a short Black guy and I’m a tall Black guy — but we all look alike, right?” Mr. Holden gave his own height as 6-foot-1. “Willie has to be about 5-foot-6. Maybe 5-foot-5. He comes up to about my shoulders. And he’s bald. And I’m not bald.” Mr. Brown, he said, “just laughed and laughed.”

Vance was a "combat correspondent" as a marine for 4 years.He never went anywhere near a war in his entire four years. In his book he stated that he was grateful for having escaped "real combat" and for learning how to "live like an adult". Then he joined the MAGA cult. Too bad that learning what honor means escaped his service.

Vets Group Calls BS on GOP Attacks of Tim Walz’s Military Service Three different veterans groups have all stated that the attacks on Walz's service record is b.s. But for commander bone spurs "suckers" and "losers" arguing over such distractions all serves up a good meal for his base.

As does the middle east war. In Ukraine the loss of Russian armor has led to the increased use of pure infantry assaults by Russian units. As a result Russian casualties have gone from about 24,000 per month in May. To what is now over 35,000 a month. It seems as if Russia has lots of meat and artillery but not much else.

Who Does J.D. Vance Think He’s Fooling? A middle class salesman who peddles b.s. to climb the social ladder. Able to change color faster than an octopus and with a tentacle up on every table to see if something can be grabbed that will benefit him.

Adam Kinzinger CALLS OUT JD Vance for His Bogus Attacks on Tim Walz You tube 4:53 video. Facts not GOP B.S.

Exactly,General Bone Spurs attacked John McCain and it meant nothing to the MAGA base. General bone spurs called veterans losers and it meant nothing.

How about this one: Tim Walz “Because we’re good Minnesota Lutherans, we have a rule: if you do something good and talk about it, it no longer counts,” Walz joked during a speech last spring. “So what you have to do is to get someone else to talk about you.” Donald Trump " I have done more for everyone than anyone else including Mother Teresa" paraphrasing here.

"What’s Donald Trump really worth? People have been asking the question for decades, though never with as much urgency as they are today. The answer: $7.5 billion, according to our most recent tally, last updated on May 2, 2024. Below, Forbes offers an asset-by-asset breakdown of the Trump fortune." Agree "He's really good at telling people what they want to hear, reading a 'mark' and pulling off a con." Agree absolutely "He screws over EVERYONE who is stupid enough to do business with him." Since Forbes is one of the largest donors to democrat causes, its likely accurate. We will have to agree to disagree.

He has street smarts with regards to white collar thuggery. He has yet to face any jail time. He turned what $10-40 million into billions. He screwed every bank over that he ever dealt with. Grabbed pussy and raped many women. Yet still was elected president. Do you recognize facts? He knows the psychology of marks. How to do the con and the long con. He got several lieutenants appointed to the USSC. None of this is to be admired unless you're a Hells Angel, a MAGA devotee, etc. But his con of the GOP is masterful in itself. Do you think rich people get away with whatever they want because they are rich?

I think the actual quote is "Smart men don’t tell you how smart they are. Rich men don’t tell you how rich they are. Tough men don’t tell you how tough they are. Honest men don’t tell you how honest they are. Con men do." I'd never heard it before but beyond that smart men don't have to be con men.

This funny looking pregnant A/C is one of yours then? I wonder when it's delivery date is.

You may find this of interest. Israel is the only country receiving Lockheed support for the amendments to F-35 codes. Subsequent to the Oct. 7th attack by Hamas they got "emergency" F-35 updates F-35s were a key component in the Israel attack on Yemen last month

Ukraine has received 10 F-16s so far. According to the Economist they are equipped with active Link-16 support from NATO. So each F-16 should know the whereabouts of Russian missiles and A/C within about 100km inside Russia. Since they have restrictions about use inside Russia all Ukrainian territory should have Link-16 coverage. Ukraine does have AIM 9X but i don't know if they have longer range AA.

Trick question right?

Harris is leading in all 4 of the most recent polls and has a VP to name. Plus the democrat convention both of which will generate positive coverage and votes. Trump will get more and more unhinged as her lead increases.

Speaking of a chameleon, er liar. Now Trump wants a debate with FOX hosts after weaseling out of his previously agreed to ABC debate. He also want a big audience so his hacks can laugh at his raciest lies.
