She had a challenger in 2018 but the libs voted for her because "this isnt the time for an unknown person" and "she knows how to get things done" then after the ACB shir went ,"well yeah of course she did that they're all friends there". California neolibs don't want change unless they benefit and that's a block of 6 figure earners so you get poo poo like people voting yes on 22 because the law says theyre contractors and we can't just change that because that's the legal definition (???)

They don't know how serious the poo poo could be, so flood the zone. They don't know how many nazis/insurrectionists they have, so flood the zone. They don't know which targets are the actual target, so flood the zone.

The idea is that you KNOW you will have loons. The counter is that they're surrounded by enough good people that the loons either won't act or can be neutralized quick.

I know there are a few in my unit that I would be cautious with. The number of people who probably wanted to participate in something like this but are slightly too smart too is probably not 0.

Yeah, they’re defending America and Democracy, even though America still hasn’t treated them as equals. It’s a symbol of how much potential this country has, how good it can be, but also how much further we still have to go. It reminds me of Jewish vets from WWII and other conflicts who answered the call, got treated like dog poo poo, and still didn’t let that stop them.

Like I kind of want to cry looking at that picture, both tears of sadness and happiness.

If you want to change the military from the inside, you're going to want a commission. I'm staring down SLC, and should I get pinned a senior NCO I'll effectively be a part of the establishment (and possibly part of the problem)

If you want to stop doing forever wars, the answer won't be found anywhere in the military itself.

I was an AIT instructor for three years before my recent PCS, and my impression was that recruits come from all over and they're largely zoomers. I was just one of dozens of instructors in my own MOS, and perhaps it was luck of the draw, but I only had one cluster of MAGA dipshit trolls out of the dozens I got to know.

Biden wants his loving JFK moment, and it's going to be a loving GIFT to the militia and QAnon fuckers to see "DIAMOND JOE" giving a speech about ~freedom and liberty~ while flanked by 20,000 loving troops and cops in full riot gear. It'll be like a scene straight out of "Escape from New York."

Similar instance at USMA. I teach a core class that is mandatory for every Cadet, and have seen honest, decent discussion. Most of the issue come from cadre/ other instructors who are older millennials and Gen X.

Now all I want is John Carpenter provide music for the inauguration.

I think that if he does it in a secure building it’s will be viewed as even worse then Bush’s first 9/11 speech at Offut. Hidin Biden. They’ll give him poo poo regardless of what he does.

It's terrible loving optics to give a HOPE AND CHANGE knockoff speech steps away from a spot where two weeks prior PEOPLE DIED.

Here's the best speech Biden could give: "You know, my speechwriters wrote a lot of pretty words I was meant to say up here, but given what's happened, they seem kind of trite now. Nothing I can say here today will magically heal the division that has marred this country. So, let's have a moment of silence for the Americans, yes, even those who attempted to prevent my inauguration, who lost their lives and shed their blood on these hallowed grounds. *waits* Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get to work, as I'm already late for my first day.
