It’s important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

I was an enlisted aircraft maintainer for a term of service, and I don’t recall ever being in need of aa box cutter.

My opinion stands, however. They want knives, let them have knives.

“Corruption” that entertains junior enlisted should be viewed with a much less harsh eye than, for example, corruption that enriches senior officers, or contractors, or elected officials.

It’s not a good thing, but it’s not exactly what I’d call “important.” Plus, I’d be willing to bet it’s an artefact of the stupid budgeting system we use.

That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.

If my credit card debt vanished, it would measurably improve the quality of the rest of my life. I’m not gonna just pile the debt back up, and not having to make the payments would free up money I could save for retirement or emergency.

Has he ever apologized for anything? Ever? Even sarcastically?

You know you can get sued without actually doing anything wrong, don’t you?

I think they have a legitimate concern, and a few protections to keep them from having to go to court (again) every time they write someone a ticket might be in order.

But that shouldn’t be enough to override the need to hold police accountable for their actions.

Lies.

Trump lies about ICE shooting a woman.

Quite a few, starting with, “how is that relevant?”

Just because someone is the moral equivalent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch does not inherently mean that they are also the intellectual equivalent of the same.

True enough. Used to be, we were the only game in town, and we knew it.

Our smarter presidents tried to make sure we remained the best option, or at least a good option. Trump, as you have noted, makes is the worst option.

Does anyone in Washington understand that a “deal” generally includes giving the other guy something they want, not just demanding things that you want?

That’s kind of what I mean by “sane leadership.” Leaders that know they are there to serve the people, and that they will be removed if they don’t.

Of course, that requires sane voters, too.

We can do that after we get rid of Trump. If we let Trump do it now, he will turn it into a circus, gain some political cover from it, and we will never know for sure who actually did what.

Once we have sane leadership again, then we can do it properly.

They are helping, yes, but windows 11 is a driving force like I’ve never seen.
