I mean, casual observation seems to show that to about 1/2 the electorate, being descent is, or at the very least should be punishable by death.

"It's OK guys, he was trying to go to a library and got the address wrong"

His fans think he's under protection from God, and everyone else would respond somewhere between relieved and elated.

Things the government should have lists of: people who own guns Political opponents

I'm worried it would fuck his mind so bad he'd start making sense /s

Shut the front door!

So inclusive of Trump to accept her! /s

98% of the time when you see a military aircraft, it's because all the military does when not actively fighting a war is practicing to. We would literally just go up and fly circles around the airfield, practicing a few normal approaches with a touch and go landing, then a few practice aborts, then some combat approaches, then some instrument inly landings. Day, night, good weather, bad weather. Practice flying high, low, pressurized, unpressurized. There's 500 ways to land each airframe, and every pilot in every unit needs to practice each type dozens of times a year or more to keep their pilot qualifications. And it's not just the pilots. The hospitals **practice wartime medicine, and the maintenance guys practice their craft in Chem gear. The LEOs pretend there's an active threat on the base and a thousand other types of exercises. It's a big part of what our military budget each year goes to, and it's why, while we have a LOT of issues in our military that need fixing, we don't have the types of problems you see Russia having with entire units defecting or surrendering, losing aircraft/equipment so frequently, and it's why so many of us come back alive. The US hasn't seen personnel losses like Russia has seen in Ukraine since WW2. The price of that is a lot of money and a lot of time spent practicing, even at home.

Most likely, if the US were going to be attacked, you wouldn't find out because jets were flying overhead, you'd get an emergency broadcast on your phone telling you to stay in your house or move to a specific shelter site or provide some other type of instructions or you wouldn't see it coming at all because nobody else did either.

Societal consequences obviously don't motivate much of the investor class, but financial ones do.

Corporate rates were also higher. 50% in 1940. In general, corporate taxes are lower than personal taxes because they encourage people to invest their money instead of hoarding cash.

Sounds a lot like the Trumpers decide if something is true to me.

I'm sure your outside organizing will be much easier under the "let's arrest or deport everyone that does agree with us, burn all the books with ideas we don't agree with, and you'll never have to vote again" candidate.

At this time year? In this part of the country?

JD Vance is a Zack Galifianakis character.

Is a promise from Boeing even worth the paper it's written on?

Godwin's law (of spiders)

It does sound ludicrous...might be better off making a concave mirror so it reflects and intensifies the light...like a giant magnifying glass over an ant hill. Yeah...that's how they should do it. Nothing gonna wrong with that.

I would have sworn it was an article from this election cycle, but hey, that's the brain for you...not nearly as reliable as we'd like to believe.

Project 2025 backers are pushing dangerous propaganda about the Trump shooting

Remember how stupid the average person seems to you. Now remember, half of us are more stupid than that.
