I would rather get my pubes stuck in a 10,000 RPM electric grinding wheel, again.

It’s almost as if the money doesn’t actually trickle down at all!

The economy isn’t going to falter. There will be a ton of money made by companies.

Agreed!

I am not sure if I consider myself to be conservative or liberal. I think my experience of growing in Detroit as a black person, per my points in my post, makes me look at security in ways most defense writers would not consider. I think that our personal views always influence our journalism and they should.…

^This. We cover cars with the proper context, we’ll do the same with defense tech on FA. Also this blog always covered politics as it intersected with defense. What I can promise you is it will be done intelligently and with a commitment to truth.

As long as it’s additional and replacing / taking away from the technical and strategic side of coverage I don’t mind.

Welcome. You have some big shoes to fill(Tyler’s, who has been gone a while, but was one of the best defense journos in the business, and the heart of FA), but it sounds like you have the qualifications.

I’d argue that any blog covering military technology is already political, in some sense. You can’t tell me that the F-35 articles aren’t critiquing military spending policy.

Congrats.

The passive-aggressive smugness of Canadians never ceases to amaze me. Here’s your “leader who is more focused on human rights and climate change than he is about making sure corporations are taxed less” approving pipeline expansions and being condemned by environmentalists...

None of that shit matters any more. People don’t care about logic or truth.

There’s that moment in every dead company’s history where a new boss shows up and tells everyone

The choices make complete sense if you assume that these people aren’t supposed to make exectuive decisions but to follow the instructions of everybody who has loaned Donald money.

Not shitty training, finely honed racism.

Here’s what always gets me. Once the cops find out it’s his own car and that he really wasn’t resisting (but of course they’ll say he was), why would they continue to press charges? That’s such troll behavior.

Fuck. The guy pulls over immediately raises his hands and 6 guys jump all over him. Shitty small town cops with shitty training let adrenaline take over.

“Who in the hell is this Democrat-come-lately to scold Democrats on all they’ve done wrong?”

Dashcams are important.* If you can get one that can link to a cellphone for upload to the cloud, even better.

My favorite thing about this election is that the same people who always bitched that Obama was soft on Putin are now enthusiastically supporting a guy who is openly sucking his dick. Excuse my language.
