Yeah, I’ll be glad when their two minutes is up.

The fact you can show a picture of something means literally nothing on the internet but here you go, bud:

Right, the USAF hasn’t been accused of “sweeping accidents under the rug” for decades. And I’m sure that they’re just thrilled to report any more problems with the F-35 beyond the fact it will snap your neck if you try to eject from it.

Get people to say that “Constant overworking is not alright.”

I thought Jeff Flake was retiring. When is that going to happen? The guy’s in the news all the time and all he does is confirm that Arizona likes shitty politicians.

“It sort of feels sort of ‘unjournalistic,’ if that is a word, to refuse to participate in a forum because Bannon or someone else will be in the same event,” Baquet wrote. “I’d argue that this is an important moment in American journalism, and it would be good for people to hear that.”

If you believe the USAF, none.

With all due respect to Ted Koppell, I disagree. 60 Minutes has been around forever and “real news” didn’t tank until well after it had been on the air. While 60 Minutes may have been the first news program to make money, it was also the first show that highlighted investigative journalism and in-depth stories. It was…

Let’s face it: Denise Richards is not a great actress. She was wooden as a tree in Starship Troopers but I could never figure out if that was planned or she just couldn’t act. Later roles proved she couldn’t act.

Even if it was invisible, the fucking thing still doesn’t fly without killing its pilots. It would still be a disaster of a program. If it was invisible, it would be harder to maintain, fuel, enter/exit, etc.

It’s not THAT much of a crapshoot. In your case, you have a $1,000 deductible, right? That’s something you (or your employer) bargained for and you pay extra for your premium to get a deductible that low. The guy that has to pay $10k out of pocket? He (or his employer) chose to get that plan.

I tend to agree with you in part - there are plenty of people in the US that are fuckups and don’t even try and pull their own weight. At the same time, though, I think that the “free rider” problem is a little overhyped as well.

The fact the shooter was stopped by someone trained to confront shooters in schools does, indeed, provide evidence that putting more people with similar training in schools could reduce the harm flowing from school shootings.

Yeah, you may be right as the “good guy with a gun” may be limited to civilians. I hadn’t thought of it that way but the way you wrote it makes sense.

I understand what you’re saying but this whole thing seems weird to me.

I don’t mean to speak for the OP, but I get where he’s coming from. The Baltimore case is a classic example of NRA talking point bullshit: A good guy with a gun actually did stop the killing.

I heard a story on this (I swear I’m not on a list!)- in some states, the registration requirements border on draconian. You have to keep the registration constantly refreshed and it’s easy to fuck it up.

I don’t disagree with you at all, but it begs the question: How the fuck did this guy win the primary? Is Illinois one of those states that lets anyone vote in it, meaning that GOP voters could come and vote for this guy?

I don’t know - this guy seems just like the PA rep that just won that ran as a Democrat but is also a Republican.

I feel bad for everyone involved in this whole thing but this line, which is of a type that you always here after bizarre murder sprees, floors me:
