good. fuck them.

Trump wasted JD's time. he should have gotten up and said "we're outa here" pulled EVERYTHING we have milit of Europe. skip the the "they are our trading partner's song". add up every $ we sell them vs what we buy from them that we can get elsewhere and do the math. then add every $ we have spent saving them and protecting them from the mean German's and Russians over the last 108 years. then add about 1/2 mil lives that it has cost us since 1917. fuck them. should have let Wilhelm,Hitler or Stalin have it. we don't and never have needed them,ie except our MIC and corrupt pols. doubt that Putin is dumb enough to be interested. he doesn't really need it past the Dnieper. empire building just hasn't been worthwhile since mid 20th cent. the wars that causes have just gotten too expensive and too risky re total nucl annihilation. mutual buisness deals will work well for us,esp with the king of deal makers in charge.
 

At Fort Stewart, Georgia, for example, soldiers contributed $17 million, but the base spent just $2.1 million -- redirecting 87% of the funds. Schofield Barracks in Hawaii collected $14.5 million but used only $5.3 million, meaning 63% of the money was used elsewhere.
 
So shameful. Service members should always be fed well. During my service (1989-2005) I can honestly say that I was always satisfied eating at the facility mess hall. Always got as much to eat as I wanted, and the quality was good to very good at times. Taking money and serving shit is unacceptable and just a sign of another lefty grift.
 
I served for 6 years.

Chow halls vary and I noticed the smaller the facility and more remote the better in general they were at having a good meal.

This was 76 - 82. Yes back in the 1900's. Lol

Also there were a very few times that meals were missed due to weather, or mission even during the cold war.

Not to be compared to anyone actually in a war.

I ate C - rats in an actual fox hole at times. Thankfully. Bring your own spices.

'66-70... the best was midnight chow at the SAC bases.
 
Well yes there were some stories but not of heroics or horrors of war.

Never the less, crazy things that that I was part of.
Many of which people not in the know will say are lies.

I'll give you a small one that was while in training base .

Cica 1976 - 77, ?
Chanute AFB coldest place I ever was. I got written up for having an electric blanket.

Told commander I was cold.
He came to the WWII barracks and I showed him frozen soap, toothpaste and a 3-4 inch tall snow drift.

They opened up a newer but condemned barracks that had excellent heat but holes in the floor. We used the holes in the floor of the second story to dump sheetrock and trash down to the first floor to remove.

Good times.
 
Careful what you ask for, it's as dirty as any of them ever were.
Yep.... DoD will make USAID look like a .50 bet lost on the playground in first grade by comparison.

USAID ~$44 Billion
DoD - $900 Billion to $35T range - and a massive blackhole of nasty shit that's barely more than teased at this point.

Dirty or clean the F35 means jobs in 48 states, by design.

funny how we have to donate food and medicine to help the poor, but both india and pakistan have billions to spend on nuclear weapons.
as for the f-35s, i don't know if that's a tease, but somebody has to pay for the cost overruns and high maintenance on these.
i doubt they would have the same specs as our own. and maybe we can hide some remote activated beacons in them. :p

Hmmm
How many banks are going to be " too big to fail " outta this ? Will this effect all us in a negative way ? Will my house taxes be re assessed lower next year as a result of possible market collapse/ crash or whatever happens( assessment $1200.00 increase one year )? Will a " black rock " come in ,buy them for pennies on the dollar or the other way around,... knock a dent in their ass ?

This could be one hell of a two edged sword ./ catch 22....we are interesting times,fo sho

Holly crap man. I was in Chanute for A/C Maint. School (Jet Over Four), from Oct. '77 thru Jan '78. I guess I was a lucky one. I stayed in newer cinder block style barracks.
That had to really suck, because, I remember it being reeeeally F'n cold in Dec. and Jan., and how did I know...because we F'n marched everywhere!

Ya I think it was the same winter.

Do you know why we marched ?
Because the damned busses froze. We finally stopped having classes, the instructors couldn't get to base.

People were dying on the roads and the beer machine at the barracks ran the hell out. RAN THE HELL OUT.

The horror. The horror.

So one night got a little action going on and snuck into the woman's barracks.
All good till in the morning some gal, not mine saw me and started screaming. Probably because she didn't get any shriveled wiener due to the cold.

So I grabbed my clothes and ran to the fire escape door on the end and jumped into a large drift.

Lucky snubs.

A few days later some stud thought he could follow my lead.

No, he hit a buried in snow fire hydrant , oopsy and got caught.

The legend grew. Mostly just balls unfortunately but since my 1969 purple chevelle was one of the only student cars that survived the "horror" of that storm I was gtg.

Only a beginning of what was to ensue. Lol

Did you catch blue oyster cult at the national gaurd armory in Springfield that winter? Epic road trip.

An LOR and Article 15, nothing but a thing for Snuby642.

Ask about my snow suit and boots. Lol

Mine have fluctuated up and down, not by a lot, over the years depending on what new proposition gets introduced and which idiots vote on it.

A while back they dropped significantly and got locked in because I reached that age plateau where people expect less and less to see you next Christmas.

Typical Trump blathering on about things to appeal to all the Jingoistic masses that don't study much.
NASCAR drivers being "the fastest and most fearless drivers in motorsports" HA! that is such a joke it's insane.
The F1 folks would leave all those going round the circle in one direction NASCAR drivers in the dust, then of course there is like the Top Fuel folks.

Oh, and when it comes to most fearless in motorsports, I'd say folks on some of the Rally circuits and the Isle of Man pretty much would laugh all day at the idea of NASCAR drivers being in their same league of fearlessness.

LoL! You'd be correct about the bus thing. Tech. School was nothing but a F fest on the weekends. Spent a good part of my pay, at them hotels out the back gate in Rantul(?).
I remember flying in after Basic, on Final to Champagne(?) and nothing but F'n cornfields. We kept descending, and descending, all I thought was...we are going to F'n crash in a damn cornfield (first time ever flying on a commercial aircraft)!!
Didn't have a car until I got to my first PCS assignment. Good old days they were!
Yeah, I've had a couple of those little letters in my file, also. I was a good Airman/NCO, but I was known to push it a time or two.

They are all different forms of racing, different rules. F-1 drivers have crossed over into NASCAR and they didn’t dominate.

While I get your point and would argue motorsports to include pylon racing, I would argue they are one of the fastest motor sport other than salt flat record attempts.

Most dangerous, boat high speed record attempts. That is a game that kills an eye watering percentage of challengers .

Rally is the only race that is actually a "Sport" in my mind. It doesn't hurt that hot hatches are fun as fuck.

Somehow ,during typing and backspacing my comment below ,it got attributed to what / who the comment was to/ for.....and I'm too lazy to correct.


To be truthful , my payment on" house taxes "was way less this year than last , due to the" over 65 "exemption for " homestead exemption " part on my overall " land tax " bill. Last year my house assessment was the amount that I'd not owe any taxes.....but after change in law, re assessment, upped county mil. and school mil. , now I broke over the threshold of " over 65 exemption " amount by $1200. All other land taxes increased around 10%. Things keep going like this , a lot of people will not be able to afford the taxes on " their " land that they hold deeds of / to. Maybe/ looks like that's the plan. My only saving grace is the rent money on farm land ,that covers all my land taxes ,with some change left in my pocket.

I cant get homestead exemption as according these liberal shitheads I made too much money. Liberal logics at play in the county i live in. Its pathetic.

she's insane. it wasn't free speech, it was controlled speech and controlled press.
just like we have with mainstream media and google today.


This is why I could not be a politician. He kept a straight face and answered her calmly. I would be like, "Ma'am, are you retarded? You think there was a right to free speech in NAZI Germany? Seriously? There was total and complete censorship of any anti-NAZI speech in print, broadcast, or in person. Why am I doing this interview? Do you have anybody more well informed there in the studio who can take over for you?"

I was sitting just aft of the wing on a 727 flying into Rantoul on final approach.
Damned if I didn't think the same damn thing.
It was snowing and there was about 3-4" on the ground.
It topped out around 9-10 inches that night.
They closed the base the next morning.
Of course, we slept in those same old drafty assed WW-1 looking barracks for 3-4 days.
The base and the town were both shit holes.
