I highly recommend federal police auctions over state/local, and particularly in areas that are tax havens, have large populations of gamblers, or with a lot of cocaine trafficking. You can find some real gems there.

It’s like when you go to SE Asia and Jim Beam gets top-shelf treatment.

That’s really the best you can hope for. “Limit” his impact to 40 pts, take Love out of the equation, and IT needs to have his monster games. But honestly, as a Celts fan, I’m proud that the team made it this far. As much as I want them to win, I’m a realist. They’re obvious underdogs in this series and staring a…

Hey whatever it takes. Play (or distract) to win.

Jaylen Brown’s a much better match up in that sense. He’s 6' 7", 225 lbs, only 20 years old, and much more athletic. He may not be able to do all that much this playoff (although stevens gave him 19 mins last night), he’ll be huge in future seasons if he can continue to develop.

Jaylen Brown is the only chance the Celtics have to slow Lebron down. For some reason he manages to get under Lebron’s skin, and he’s the only one athletic enough to keep up.

We’re coming to a new age of arms development. The most recent was missiles outpacing missile defense systems. Those missiles are approaching realistic limits from a physics perspective (speed, agility, etc.). Now our gains are coming from power. That radar, at 35 times more radar power, now becomes more than just…

That’s what they said. But you’re right, it’s incredibly expensive to keep the thing operational. The reality is that it’s a prototype/experiment that’s being tasked like an asset. We can’t expect it perform well with that level of demand.

They do. One of them is called SBX-1, and it’s allegedly deployed somewhere in the Pacific to also keep an eye on the DPRK. Unfortunately, there’s only one of them, it’s expensive to maintain, and relatively expensive. We also have the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) DDGs (SPY-1D radars) in the region that can do…

To be fair. The course has been closed for a while.

As did Libya.

“And yes, DoD should be notified of such things, given they are in charge of the actual system, including its financial aspects.”

This is an important note. I had a close friend that received a lump sum of money through inheritance, and chose to pay off their home. It certainly helped them, but the following year their tax situation became pretty ugly. There mortgage rate was 3.5%. Meanwhile there were a dozen different options that would have…

“Did we hand out any green cards, Justin. I’m only seeing red ones.”

“doubling that amount on his own accord wont work,”

“Mattis is broken.”

“US Government’s policy. POTUS is not the only one involved in the decision making, and policy doesn’t get automatically set to the POTUS’s desires and wishes once he takes office.”

I completely agree with you. I think McMaster is being very smart here. However, I would also say, for a career officer he’s putting his personal needs in front of those of his country. I prefer Mattis’ approach to Trump. He doesn’t necessarily agree with him, but he does his best to manage his boss privately because…

Look at the balls on you!

Look at the balls on you!

If it were actual anarchy then POTUS would have actually accomplished something in his first 100 days. As you can see his one and only accomplishment has been passing another CR. He hasn’t gotten a wall, he hasn’t repealed and replaced, he hasn’t defunded anything, and he hasn’t gotten a travel ban. Turns out this…
