This is pretty far from a current event but definitely checks the technical-chat box: https://youtu.be/qYodJ69iXnc A decent video covering SAS operations in North Africa during WW2, especially the part where they combined their motor pool with every spare machine gun and then did donuts on German airfields. That channel has other good content too if you want a play by play of the entire air war over Iraq or the insane buddy tanking plan to get a bomber to the Falklands and back. Anyway just wanted to share something cool while we wait for whatever miserable bullshit is next!

Maybe we can Balkanize and divide the country by anti vax and pro vax. Given the people who are generally anti vax, we would never have to worry about them illegally crossing the border into the vaccinated lands. yes we would

I missed a quote: quote:An Air Force veteran in a camouflage jacket named Mike Aja walked up with his 4-year-old son, Shane. He was a “no,” too. He said he had heard that the average death rate had dropped last year, proof that the government was making too big a deal out of the virus. (Deaths actually are up markedly.) He said there was no way President Biden was serious about the pandemic because he was letting thousands of undocumented immigrants flow across the border.

The expectation is that requiring proof of vaccination for jobs is imminent. I dont see why that will not push out everywhere within 2 years at most. Got my 2nd shot Thursday. Friday it felt like I was hit by a truck but I'm pretty much 100% today. Thank God thats over. I hope.

I seriously regret that I ever took the military serious. I could have hosed off and been a shitbag, got out without a broken loving body- and wouldn't feel like my country just took a poo poo on me. I sacrificed a lot for the American ideals as written- all that poo poo. And my fellow citizens excuse and congratulate vigilante police, cheer as press is attacked, and celebrate treason and the murder of their fellow citizens. Why the gently caress did I sacrifice my loving body and mind for these cocksuckers? I hate going out now. I never liked it completely, but I didn't feel this simmering feeling of disdain for the people around me. The problem with America is we have too many loving Americans.

Might be 2 yrs might be 10 but without protection from the current strategy to cement apartheid rule by the GOP... The real motherfucker is that it's not really about the voting rights, as the mail-in and voting restrictions hurt both sides (probably republicans more on mail-ins!) and education can get around some of the oppressive bullshit. It's the redistricting. It's going to be real, real bad and we don't know how many House districts will flip Republican just because of the better data that Republicans in state houses will have access to. maffew buildings posted:https://thehill.com/homenews/house/548443-pelosi-says-she-wont-bring-bill-to-expand-supreme-court-to-the-floor It's a messaging bill to begin with. There's no majority in the House for it and there's no majority in the Senate for it either. Pelosi probably shouldn't put it on the floor for it to just die a horrible death. At best, it's only usefulness is to be "there" as a "warning" to the Supreme Court if they kill off Roe or something. Don't get me wrong, Democrats should've done it weeks/months ago. But it's not a Pelosi thing. poo poo shouldn't go on the floor unless it's going to pass, as Republicans found out with McCain's thumb.

I still think that packing the courts is a pandora's box that we won't be able to close if the republicans ever get control of government again. Impeaching the shitheads and replacing them would be a better solution. Fortunately the dems will never do either option so we will never know which is better!

You're saying this as if the republicans haven't already been doing it for some time. Apparently something like 100 something federal judges ended up being handed to Trump due to the senate not bothering with a lot of obama's nominees. The Republicans also showed that if a Supreme Court seat becomes vacant under a Democrat president, with Republicans in the senate, they'll hold it vacant until the next R president.

Yeah, republicans have made it clear that they'll do whatever the hell they want if given the opportunity, so gently caress 'em. Add 15 seats to the court. Put Greta Thunberg on there. Put Obama on there; Barack if there are no other options, but ideally Sasha or Malia. Appoint a lesbian black/latina communist just to see how many aneurisms they can cause for the Fox News staff. As far as I'm concerned it's been game on since Merrick Garland got stonewalled.

I'm a moron and conflated packing the courts with adding seats to the court. I'm totally fine with packing the courts full of lefties, I just don't like the idea of adding seats to do it, as opposed to impeaching all the lovely judges. It feels like adding seats reduces the legitimacy of the courts, whereas impeachment should, in theory, increase it when removing judges that should never have been appointed. How long that would hold when republicans start abusing it, who knows, but they'll abuse anything, so there's little point worrying about that.

At a certain point something will give, and I'd rather the democrats bang the door shut on the republicans ability to write lovely laws than the reverse.
