*Nervously starts saying SCAT*
Dems need to capitalize on things like Qatar, beef and soybeans. The hard part about the MAGA coalition is sifting through the grifters and the griftees. But there are so many wedge issues on the table right now.
Trump: "The only price we have that's high is beef, and we'll get that down. And one of things we're thinking about doing is beef from Argentina."
JD Vance is currently going through his drafts to see which “edgy jokes” tweet he’s gonna go with first.
Mil twitter is the living embodiment of the No True Scotsman scenario
Who I was 15 years ago doesn't dictate my thoughts, perspectives, or feelings about things today.
This could potentially read like snark, but he's *so* close to unlocking something *so* important here.

This exchange *could* serve as a Rosetta Stone for his reclamation to humanity, but, alas, Twitter cannot be that vehicle.
“I thought you wanted leaders who took risks? We aren’t looking for perfect on paper, we want McArthurs and Schwarzkopfs!”

Some officer is practicing this speech in the mirror right now
A lot of well intentioned Officers feel the need to explain the current mood in DOD as: politics aside, focusing on merit is a good thing

To which I now respond with, what tangible things are we measured on now that we weren’t before? And who is getting fired since we didn’t focus on merit before?
The entire officer corps could be Eisenhowers if we just focused on merit

We could avoid almost all deaths on the battlefield if we just invested in the right technology

Blah blah blah…there can never just be hard problems that require constant attention. There always has to be a silver bullet
How is a $75mm venture capital fund going to deter China?

Going to do a $15mm Series A for "THAAD in Southern Japan"?

Maybe a SAFE for "six new attack submarines on station"?

Convertible Note for "Marine Rifle Company has 100km range precision munitions"?

This is cult behavior at this point.
Letting the DV hang a round is a time honored tradition in the long history of dog & pony shows
This is why they had the Marines fire artillery rounds over I-5. For a JD Vance TikTok.
Chilling in the left lane is a leading indicator on how you are as a person
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
Meanwhile….the State Dept is scouring the internet to find out if someone posted something they don’t like so they can revoke their visas…DHS is threatening kids who make TikTok’s they don’t like…and DOD is firing people for not reacting in the approved way to political assassinations
Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."
His “peace deal” in the Middle East was only ever going to hurt Ukraine. In his mind he got the stronger guy to allow the weaker opponent to give in. He sees this as the same. Regardless of if it holds, is morally correct or makes sense.
Breaking news: Donald Trump urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to accept Russia’s terms for ending its war in a volatile White House meeting on Friday, warning that Vladimir Putin had said he would 'destroy' Ukraine if it did not agree on.ft.com/4ou5h1A
Colombian Soldiers are among the best I’ve served/deployed with (in terms of tactics and work ethic)

Their stories about fighting cartels and drug traffickers make most us deployments seem tame

Glad we are finally taking a stand where it really matters
President Trump says he is stopping all US "payments and subsidies" to "Columbia" (he means Colombia, the country.)
Just drove through Trumpiest part of my state and saw huge protests. Not gonna lie, gave me a little hope.
Libertarians don’t have conviction or solutions. Their entire philosophy is platitudes.
Agreed lol. Pro tip, throw them away if you’re going to turkey.
Clearly this is the way. Trump promised no taxes on tips and then under delivered. He said he was gonna make IVF free, then just went silent. He told people he had a healthcare plan and then exponentially increased the cost

Just say shit.
Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."
Please go scorched earth your majesty…I mean Andy
BREAKING

In the aftermath of emails he and his former wife sent to Jeffrey Epstein being revealed, Prince Andrew says he has given up his title as the Duke of York, among other honors.

This also means that his former wife, Sarah, Duchess of York, will now only be known as Sarah Ferguson.
I used my black, maroon and blue interchangeably because i wasn’t always sure (personal travel but coming back to country accredited to etc) and told my investigator I was an idiot and might have messed up upon renewal and he looked at me like I was the biggest nerd and said “yeah you’re fine”
Whether you’re a good AGR or not, the amount of time managing the AGR force is daunting. It’s a shell game to fill vacancies, get people promoted, find openings, all of which live outside filling an actual MTOE or TDA. And while I don’t have a fix it’s not an efficient model.
“I just want to go home…don’t take my kids…just let me see them”

Hmmm I wonder where I’ve heard this before…

I need a reminder of how and why AI is going to improve our lives, because this ain't it.
Q:And are you married?
A: I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.
Q: Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?
A: Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist…it actually gives really good therapy advice.
Spit On, Sworn At, and Undeterred: What It’s Like to Own a Cybertruck

What does it say about where we are when the two prevailing thoughts are:

1. Was it because he’s black?

Or

2. Was it because he didn’t want to be connected to potential war crimes?
What’s the difference?
Why is Mitch McConnell in the Capitol and not an assisted living facility?
Has bob said thank you? Just a simple freaking thank you for the opportunity to work well into his 70s and put 53% of his salary to low quality healthcare due to the tax cuts to our benevolent god-kings?
