It’s the same kind of crap you hear at every single EO brief or in all of the discussion groups we had to have after the Marines United scandal. There’s always some SNCOs or officers, sometimes even the EO rep themselves making comments about how the women should have known better and should have made better decisions.

And then LCPL Wizard was the one who got in trouble for saying “you’re right Gunny, it was a mistake for those women to trust marines”

When I was in Korea we were told that if you think she's going to go to the cops and say you raped her, that you should go to the cops first and say she raped you instead. And this was during my in-processing SHARP briefing, not some off-the-cuff remark from a lovely NCO or something.

Go Army :)

The Diocese of Covington and Covington Catholic High School have issued the following statement:

We condemn the actions of the Covington Catholic High School students towards Nathan Phillips specifically, and Native Americans in general, Jan. 18, after the March for Life, in Washington, D.C. We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips. This behavior is opposed to the Church’s teachings on the dignity and respect of the human person.

The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action, up to and including expulsion.

We know this incident also has tainted the entire witness of the March for Life and express our most sincere apologies to all those who attended the March and all those who support the pro-life movement.

This is really his only shot at getting a wall built, right? I mean, if he does reopen the government, I doubt a budget would ever get passed that included his wall.

So now he’s in a position where if he concedes defeat and reopens the government, then he doesn’t get a wall built and one of his main promises during his election run doesn’t happen, so he doesn’t get elected again.

However, I have to believe that less and less people are going to want to vote for him again the longer this shutdown lasts, so at some point he’s gotta pivot and try to get elected again through some other avenues?

I don’t know-just loving pay me already. It should be fun if all the coast guard retirees don’t get their check on the first.

Bomb like 25 countries at once and lob a nuke at Iran and NK and start WW3?

I dunno, I'm trying to brainstorm a way where he could just cancel the election.

I think more than one person took my "I'm just not gonna vote" post seriously.

I'm going to vote against Trump regardless of who the democratic candidate is at this point, be it Kamala Harris or Jack's Stroked Foreskin. My point was a vote that isn't for a democrat might as well be for Trump, so if I'm not going to vote democrat I might as well not vote. Typically that's not a standpoint I go by, but Trump is bad enough for me to reconsider.

Billionaire Ken Griffin Buys America’s Most Expensive Home for $238 Million

Billionaire Ken Griffin, who is becoming almost as known for his prodigious purchases as he is for his investment acumen, has closed on a New York penthouse for roughly $238 million. The deal sets a record for the highest-priced home ever sold in the U.S.

That is equivalent to almost 2000 years of leases on the 3br townhouse I had in college, or 2000 one year leases if you want to look at it like that.

I’ve had USAA for everything for the last 20 years-I was under my dad for car insurance and then put everything under me when he passed.

Their checking and atm reimbursement is good, but their checking and savings rates suck.

Their investment branch just got sold off to someone else and their USAA specific index funds have higher expense fees than vanguard.

I’m not sure on their car/renters/property insurance. I like it because I’ve never had a problem with an accident claim or when my wife’s diamond fell out of her engagement ring and went missing. I like their customer service in that regard but I’ve heard their rates are higher than others.

I pay $7/mo for renter's insurance in the nothern VA area.

I have two checking accounts with USAA and haven't had any issues in the ten years I've used them.
