I expect a very cryptic "condemnation" of this act from the GOP any day now.

Trump might want to scratch the 21 gun salute in front of his podium.

What's the point of that? Don't soldiers work alongside civilian contractors all the time?

The tech reservists will serve for around 120 hours a year. Because of their private-sector status, each will carry the rank of lieutenant colonel.

There will be other dispensations for the technology officers. They will have more flexibility than the average reservist to work remotely and asynchronously, and will be spared basic training.

This pisses me off so much and I hope it makes the military livid too. Most people put their heart and soul into the work they do in basic training and officer training and even break into tears when they receive their new rank. These assholes are gonna take a fitness test and become officers?!?

Israel really is the little brother that you're constantly bailing out because they're always in trouble.

I think they've said for strategic military reasons (don't know what's wrong with all the EU bases we have) but likely it's because of natural resources. Typical authoritarian shit.

We'd absolutely use Denmark as a springboard to invade Greenland.

When SCOTUS said that the President is "King" that was your cue Biden!!!

What's the definition of threatens though?

EU. Keep your eyes on these people. Anyone that wholeheartedly embraces this administration and its demands is not your friend.

But he is the embodiment of American education. 😬

Some places have hybrid machines; an electronic interface but gives you a printout of your choices (like a Scantron form filler). I'm fine with this option so long as hardcopies are preserved for 2 years minimum and randomized checks are performed before and after an election on EVERY machine.

Pissing everyone off, including allies, who are probably far less inclined than usual to share intel, was a no-no?

Not drift. Replacement just stopped working. Double checked connections and even put back in the old joystick (in case a cable was damaged).

I installed one of those and had to RMA it within a couple weeks. Not saying don't "upgrade" but apparently there's no silver bullets here.

It's probably been several cycles in a row that the Democratic Presidential nominee had garnered more votes in Texas than the Republican Gubernatorial nominee.

Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven't had any more children. If I can't have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won't put my wife's life at risk for one more child.

I think we need one of two things: huge protests involving millions of people that can't possibly be policed or dozens of protests across a city so forces are stretched thin.

Another 5-10 years in power and they'll legalize conversion therapy and honor killings against gay and trans kids and call it "parental rights".

Just saw a post about a cop getting a plea deal AFTER he was convicted of the crime. I think we're already there.
