Tuberville's in the same camp as those who think recruitment shortfalls are because of the military being too 'woke'. Like there's some untapped mass of patriotic youth who would sign up to die for their country if only they would only stop holding poetry night at the MWR.

At least on the East Coast it's typically when they're nesting that they get extra territorial.

Does the president fly around in an Osprey, now? I swear I saw that on the news and couldn’t believe they’d even take the chance…

The MV-22s aren't used for VIP transport, they typically carry additional staff, security, and reporters etc while the President flies in 60 year old SH-3s.

Looks like Starship had a pretty successful test flight, first stage went up with all engines burning and a successful second stage separation and burn. The first stage did end up going kaboom after the flip maneuver and something happened to the second stage sometime close to engine cutoff but those were both in the expected outcomes. Guess we'll see how much abuse the pad suffered.

Ah yes Kamala Harris, incredibly popular former senator from California *checks polls* correction former senator from California.

Her entire candidacy in 2020 could be generously described as a whispy fart, but sure I guess she's the next chosen one on the national level according to the lanyard class.

I forgot the detail that Biden publicly promised to pick a woman as his VP on stage at the last Dem Primary debate in March as a needless gimmick three weeks before Bernie suspended his campaign lol.

And then he ends up picking the woman who got less popular votes than Marianne Williamson in the primary.

Harris ended her campaign before the first primary was even held.

So did Williamson, however:

Marianne Williamson total primary votes: 22,334
Kamala Harris total primary votes: __844__

It's possible that Williamson's name was left on some early ballots and Harris' wasn't, but overall Harris' campaign was incredibly lackluster, especially given that Warren and Klobuchar both did respectively well in the early contests.

Probably the biggest knock against Harris' Vice-Presidency is that there's been no evidence of effort to try and grow her standing and political capital as a future leader in the Democratic Party. That may not entirely be on her, certainly the Biden administration has given her some thankless jobs like border security which were never going to result in a happy or successful resolution. It does place a lot of risk on what happens if Biden dies or becomes incapacitated though, overnight Harris is going to have to become the face of both the party and government and if they haven't built up public confidence in her then there's a greater chance of the GOP managing to sweep in on the next election under the "Dems in Disarray" banner.

Carter or Teddy, although Teddy had a bunch of childhood ailments that he just powered through with determination.

Carter was running Class 5 whitewater rapids in an open canoe while he was Governor of Georgia just before running for President two years later. Dude was definitely the first 'modern' fitness/outdoorsman president and Dubya is probably the only equivalent.
