What are you on? On what planet does it make more sense for the GOP to plant Trump, knowing that if he makes a third party run, it’ll siphon voters who are to the right of center, guaranteeing defeat for the establishment GOP candidate... just like Perot did? That third party run put a Clinton in office as well - why…

Coupeville was a major center for the white supremacist movement (including the klan) when I was stationed up there in the late ‘80’s.

And let us not forget this classic commercial: Reebok Pump

Because Obama had just finished telling us all that he had personally won the war on terrorism, and losing an embassy to AQ wouldn’t fit that narrative, especially leading into an election where he was counting on his triumphant victory to get him re-elected.

But have you seen this scene?

So... from a business perspective, where is the money that will go to content providers coming from? There will be no ad revenue coming in from Red subscribers, as the videos will all be “Ad-Free” for those subscribers. The $10.00/month subscription fee isn’t going to go far, as people switch to an ‘all you can eat’…

You can’t see how high these guys are (can’t see the bottom of the canyon), but back in the ‘90’s, our guys would go through there in A-6’s flying hard TF at 200’ (or less) AGL. Any higher, you were buying a round at the O-Club. Usually between ~250-300 kts.

The guys in his squadron chose that for him. Sometimes there’s a lot of ingenuity that goes into callsigns, sometimes not.

Dave, you’re the one who defined the CAS role as dropping bombs on anything in a ten or twenty mile circle. The CAS role involves flying low and slow, putting ordinance on pinpoint targets at the direction of FACs or ground troops, at their request.

“...on everything in a ten or twenty mile circle...”

The F35 will be able to hit more targets harder and more accurately than an A10 - simultaneously.

Shhhh! The corn has ears!

No girls at Hooters? What Hooters was it? I want to make sure to stay away from that one. Hooters girls are the main reason to go to Hooters.

Not quite the same thing, from a culinary perspective: link

Celery has ribs as well. Honest mistake.

It’s fairly clear from this manual that units aren’t necessarily equal to degrees (Pilot’s Manual, F-4). That being said, the numbers mentioned in the manual don’t speak to a 45 degree angle of attack, either in units or degrees.

Well, as a Constitutionalist Libertarian, the federal government should only be providing the services specifically enumerated in the Constitution. According to the 10th Amendment, everything else should be handled by the states. If you want the federal government to provide free ice cream for everybody, that’s fine.…

As a ‘small government’ Constitutionalist Libertarian, I’m obligated to ask: If parts of the government can be shut down because they’re ‘non-essential’, doesn’t that demonstrate that we, as a country, can function without those shut down portions? From my point of view, government should only be providing essential…

The Dems pushed it through with zero Republican votes.

That’s all well and fine, but that’s not what the contract that they signed said. Instead, they over-promised, and continue to under-deliver. If (as decades worth of history show) it’s going to take 10 years, don’t promise it in 5.
