Anyway 50/50 on rapist, yes. The UDT guys all got made SEALS retroactively right? The combat diving mission types all seem so much more insane than stuff like the bin laden raid.

I’ve heard precious little about navy combat diving, but the idea of stuffing yourself, a rebreather, and all your gear into a torpedo tube so you can sneak out of a sub at a hilarious depth throws up every red flag I knew of, and a few I didn’t know I even had

He wasn't a *great* governor, just average, but he got the ball rolling on the light rail project, which worked out pretty good in the long term for the Twin Cities. Like Ugly Ralph said he's doesn't believe in climate change, loves Putin, and also subscribes to a lot of conspiracy theories. I'm not sure if he's a follower of QAnon but it wouldn't surprise me.

Some actual content, Rachel Bitecofer has released her forecast for the Senate and the House races. https://twitter.com/RachelBitecofer/status/1255101848836616193 TLDR: Nothing is certain by any stretch, but it is not looking good for the GOP right now. Wisconsin's primary is indicative that it is likely going to be a bloodbath this fall with the house. Senate is tougher but Dems getting a majority is well within reach.

"I haven’t filed to run, but I’ve covered climate change many times on The World According to Jesse. Climate change is real. It isn’t a belief...it’s science. It’s a major reason why I vote GREEN party."

hobbesmaster posted:The UDT guys all got made SEALS retroactively right? The UDT Teams existed as an independent command until ~1983 and focused on swimming and diving missions with a smattering of brown water/littoral zone reconnaissance and demolition operations dating back to WW2. The history of the UDT's can be traced further back to the Amphibious Scouts and Raiders (temporary joint command between Army and Navy) as well as the NCDU's who were responsible for preparing the Normandy beaches as well as the creation of the infamous "Hellweek" under LCDR Kauffman who is widely considered as the father of all frogmen. The event precipitating the UDT's creation was the Battle of Tarawa where several hundred marines died from drowning or enemy gunfire while trapped on a reef and so great emphasis was placed on hydrographic reconnaissance in their original mission set. The original teams often dived with no weapons, earning them the nickname "Naked Warriors" or "Naked Frogmen". During the late 50's the Navy noticed that the UDT mission scope had creeped to include unconventional warfare, near-shore reconnaissance & demolition as well as a smattering of direct action. The Navy SEALs were officially established in January 1962 by than President John F. Kennedy. Their training regime focused on a more limited underwater mission set but accommodated a whole host of both conventional and unconventional land warfare capabilities the UDTs lacked. The SEALs and UDTs operated closely together through the early 80's often with the UDT members in direct support of a SEAL mission. For example, a big navy submarine would be tasked with delivering a UDT team (4-6 guys) and a SEAL element (2-12 guys) to an off-shore location, often several miles from the beach. The teams would be locked out of the airlock in stages and assemble onto a SDV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEAL_Delivery_Vehicle) which were piloted by a UDT element whom were responsible for underwater navigation and eventual insertion of the SEAL element who would than go one to conduct whatever mission assigned. The UDT team may engage in shore security (i'm using this term generously) or simply wait at an offshore extraction point if the SDV was to be utilized again. The Frogman is an excellent book about the pacific WW2 era and a large reason alot of guys back than became UDT/SEAL members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Frogmen https://www.amazon.com/Frogmen-Robb-White/dp/0385038283
