Whoa Biden’s granddaughter’s secret service opened fire on someone who was breaking into their SUV. Sounds more like a DC crime issue than a Clancy plot. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/nov/13/secret-service-agents-naomi-biden-gunshots

I have a friend who flew attack helos before getting sent off to MBA school to do a procurement and when I asked if he wanted to go back up and misses it he said something to the effect of "No, I want to see my kids grow up". Wow can't fault that logic

D.C seems like a bad town to carjack people in. Just the number of bodyguards and security services and cameras...

Our rate of carjackings is over 800 for the year to date, more than double what it was in 2022. Violent crime is 40% higher than last year, including a 32% increase in murders. DC ain’t doing so hot.

Would agree it would be too much if the SUV had been rear ended but if the agents see a group attacking the president’s granddaughter’s car fair assumption that it’s an assassination or kidnapping attempt and the guys are well armed so escalating is defensible. Like if someone sails too close to a nuclear sub in transit in puget sound & is ignoring warning shots, maybe their engine is jammed but sorry it’s a national security issue now.

As for DC being a bad town to do this in, the people doing it don’t have to worry as much about getting shot unless they really do happen to target a bodyguard

I think that the last segment of SSNs is assigned more or less sequentially and that the last digit is therefore approaching random. But I guarantee that Ramaswamy didn’t check that before making his hot take.

Like his brain spat out something ridiculous like "lets down size the government randomly by 50%" after that any normalish person would then have the thought "That's probably stupid because......x,y,z", people like this guy don't get to the second part.

Love it.https://www.cbo.gov/topics/employment-and-labor-markets/federal-personnel posted:The federal government employs about 2¼ million military personnel (of whom about 1 million are reservists) and about 2¼ million civilian personnel (of whom nearly 60 percent work for the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security). CBO assesses the pay and benefits of the nation’s armed forces and civil servants as well as proposals to change the compensation of those workers. Let's instantly make 1 million people unemployed. 1 million people. That won't affect anything, no way.

He doesn't really believe that that would be a good idea and isn't actually going to do it, but it sounds good to the idiots he wants to vote for him. Admittedly though I don't know anything about this guy so I don't know if he's a true believer or a grifter. Maybe he is that stupid.

Somehow it never ceases to amaze me how determined conservatives are to completely wreck everything they can get their hands on. These people are a blight on humanity, and there's way too many of these loving idiots. It's exhausting how so much effort is spent just trying to interfere with the damage they cause, let alone actually doing anything substantial enough to address any of the mounting problems the world is facing.

How the gently caress are there so many reservists in gov employment when the number one reason to be a reservist is the cheap healthcare that you arnt eligible for as a gov employee? Seriously I lost the main reason to be a navy reservist. Skating just ain’t as much fun anymore.

I was just chatting with a friend who I still a reservist but now a contractor about this very thing. He was saying it should be changed by FY26. I don't know his source on that but that's good to hear. I've been thinking about getting back into the reserve to finish out to a retirement

We have an AF reservist who hired in the year before I did (2015) and has worked there four less years than I have. She loves to volunteer for any activation they get. And she's guaranteed a job when she comes back.

Does your staff dress you in the morning? If it rains are you in danger of drowning from looking up at the sky water?"
