A friend of mine, a lawyer, is very much a fence-sitter and thinks most of the alarm surrounding Trump is overdramatic.

But even he had to admit that if the courts lose legitimacy like that in such a brazen way, the country is finished.

In technical terms it is a tank.

We are refusing to call it a tank I assume because of some organizational/order of battle reason. Its not a tank, its an infantry fire support weapon or whatever the fuck.

Enough of this. Nobody took him seriously in 2015 and we got what we got. You're not going to head him off by talking or not talking about him.

Trump does not have a sense of humor or a long-term tactical mindset. He speaks whatever is on his incomprehensibly selfish mind. When he says over and over and over again that he could run for a 3rd term, he means it. When he says over and over and over again that he thinks Canada should be annexed, he means it.

A lot of these hypotheticals can be answered by "we'll just slaughter anyone who makes a fuss" because that's where our country's moral framework will be if we ever march troops across the border. Like an ultra nationalist fascist state is going to concern itself with old treaties and popular sentiments.

Send him a 30 petabyte zip bomb titled "Lockheed Martin Contract Progress"

They're probably referring to the factions of islamofascists, zealots, whatever you wish to call them. The kinds of people who execute gays, nonbelievers, and apostates.

A key piece of context is that he recently had a Twitter spat with the head of the ISS program when Elmo suggested that the two "stranded" astronauts were kept up there for political reasons, and the better person called him on it. Leon, as he does, called him a stinky poopoo head, and this "decision" immediately followed all this.

Man I just love that our dumb fuck leaders are regurgitating Kremlin lies for our dumb fuck citizens to lap up like dogs.

I don't know the availability/pricing of stuff up there, but Vortex scopes are usually an economic balance of price and performance.

You might consider a bipod, but this adds frontal weight and might not be useful in all scenarios. Learn to shoot off of bags, rocks, trees, etc.

Also, while the themed paint job is cool, I might recommend that you paint it in more earthy colors that match where you live. You know, so the paper targets don't see you.

Ideally, they should muster their own men and seize what they can of our military equipment and send our troops packing as disarmed POWs. Any equipment that makes it back to the CONUS will be used against its people, and in the darkest timeline, against them.

We have a voting system right now.

In two years time we likely will not.

We have political parties right now.

In the same sense that we still had a Titanic while its stern was hundreds of feet in the air.

You are playing yesterday's game. You need to recognize the dire danger in front of you, and prepare and act accordingly.

Even at its most generous, the title of their findings keeps reading to me as "In Cost-Cutting Endeavor, DOGE, Outraged, Finds that Government is Spending Money"

I already had a coworker try to claim to me that Elon-chan found $100 billion dollars that government employees were racking up on government credit for personal expenses. I am fairly non argumentative in person but even I had to to tell him "that's bullshit" and explain he's fabricating excuses to get rid of people and replace them with stooges. Immediately tried to both-sides it and say it's just replacing one corruption with another.

Lying is certainly effective on our cowardly, ignorant populace.
