When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

The Army will soon have senior warrant officers bid against each other in an eBay-style auction for retention bonuses and six-year service commitments. Soldiers who agree to take a “minimum” bonus can cash in, while those who ask for larger ones will lose out, Army officials announced in a recent press release. Dubbed the “Warrant Officer Retention Bonus Auction,” the system will debut in March, an Army official said Friday. In the news release, Army officials said the new system represents a “shift from traditional, fixed‑rate bonuses to a more flexible, market-driven system and that the auction encourages warrant officers to bid their “true value.”

This is seriously fucked up taskandpurpose.com/news/army-wa...

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

It becomes one of those conspiracies that just isn't staying secret, and guys like Comey would have been all over it. They lived for fucking over the Clintons so they definitely wouldn't have bent over backwards to protect a Clinton that was raping kids.

Random bodyguards... sure. You can hire people to do whatever. But Secret Service guys are assigned the detail. They're not the guys who are most loyal to Clinton or whatever, and if they go to another detail they're still getting paid. At least one guy would, at the least, ask for transfer over it.

Also the claims made no sense. How is a guy with a Secret Service detail going to be raping kids and not get Feds kicking down their door? Sure, Secret Service is supposed to turn a blind eye, but to kiddie-rape? What agent is doing that for Clinton, a guy they didn't even like?

True heroes don't wear capes.

Protected speech made my agents murder these people, says federal official

It's a lot easier when you're the party that doesn't want government to function and doesn't give a shit if poor people have food or not.

We don't have anywhere close to the votes for that now. We're in the fucking minority.

Oh my god she admit it

Hey, that giant A-10 cannon is fun, but not exactly accurate.

Though you can get 10% to say all sorts of unhinged nonsense in polling. Around that number think the moon landings were faked, the Earth is flat, and/or that vaccines secretly implant microchips into your bloodstream. 1 in 10 Americans are psychotic period.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Saying this as someone who rather unfortunately wrote a "of course the Russians wouldn't be stupid enough to invade Ukraine with only 150 000 combat troops" piece for Foreign Policy a month before the Russians were stupid enough to invade Ukraine with nowhere near enough troops.

One thing I can't think about too much because it'll make me insane is that the strategic importance and/or mineral richness of Greenland is only really a thing if you understand that climate change is real. But the people who will push the narrative the hardest also say climate change is a hoax.

If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police

Do you know who else went to a trailing camp to learn how to protest effectively? Rosa Parks. Eat shit, Noem, you fascist piece of garbage.

It’s like a psychosis.

There isn’t even anything to rebut. It’s just “Dems suck”

BTW, I hate it when people I follow traffic in this stuff.

And here's a quick-and-dirty composite of the two available videos, showing the victim's car allowing other cars to go by before pulling away.

...a gangster macho who provides "order" and divides spoils through decisionist declarations backed by force but not constrained by domestic or international law.

Naturally the hard right is loving abandoning even the pretense imperialism has to mean something ethical.

And there we go. They're repeating the dumbest mistake of 2003: announcing to someone who can make the occupation bloody and horrifying that as soon as you're done with the first invasion they're next.

With the result being that Spetsnaz and Russian airborne are now mostly dead and Ukrainian air defenses are stronger than ever.

Ah, yes, neocolonialism but dumber is much better than just regulating the efficiency/size of stupid pickup trucks.

Remaining hostomel landing participants

True. Insane that he didn't care enough to be in the situation room for an actual invasion.

"Sure Mexico is our ally but Trump doesn't like her personally. Do you think we'll murder her soon?"

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.
