Maybe Bonespurs would be evacuated in a V-22 from the south lawn

Yup, that one too

If you are old enough, you might remember that when President Clinton showed up at the Vietnam Wall a number of Viet. vets turned their back on him because he took a deferment. If this goes like it looks like it will wrt to servicemen and vets, I can only imagine Bonespurs's welcome on memorial Day.

Well then, I predict the next thing you will be doing is chasing a hidden signal ground fault in 20 bonded racks of networking and satcoms kit in a remote facility. Not that I have personal experience in that particular hell. I will never again allow people to pull zipties too tight on dc cabling.

No, it isn't easy. It's only easy if you seriously stop thinking when you listen to partisan talking points. The minute you apply 2 brain cells, the point becomes nonsensical. Low pay, high qualifications to get hired, working across from people that get paid more for less qualifications...

The headlines will be quite interesting. "TRUMP/MUSK FIRE 10K'S OF DISABLED VETERANS" "TRUMP CUTS LEAVE SPOUSES OF DEPLOYED SERVICE MEMBERS UNEMPLOYED AND THEIR FAMILIES ON THE DOLE"
I remember a march of the returning veterans on Washington at the end of WWI, I seem to remember it got quite rowdy

To be more clear. There are plenty of rich individuals who get actually making real things and seeing what you created have impact. However, many more do not as what they find ways of becoming "clip takers" or middle-men, taking a piece of everyone else's transactions while adding very little value.

I was a seasonal LE ranger and park medic in the NPS system in the early 90's. One of the best jobs I had. I certainly didn't do it for the money, in-fact, when I added up the cost to move back and forth, what I paid in rent to the park, andy private malpractice ins. I barely broke even. 1/

You will find that from a lot of federal employees. When you look at the GS pay scale and the qualifications to get the points needed, it certainly isn't because they can't get a job elsewhere at better comp. But for folks like PVT Bonespurs, and "buy my way in" Musk, they don't get that.

I was thinking more along the lines of the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corp. He is an over hyped marketer, afterall.

Why does a quote about a tree and liberty increasingly come to mind...

I think the closest we have come to going off the rails, and it is meek by comparison, was the internment of Japanese or McCarthyism. Some might say Watergate, but there was a pretty rapid, bipartisan response to that.

We've seen them "conquer" mountains (well be defeated by small hillocks) of snow in unarmored form, wonder what they will be like with another ton or two of plating and blast resistant panels? Any bets?

Well, this is easily solved. Take JD Vance's plan to give parents one vote per child and amend it slightly to give the husband one vote per household member, problem solved. 😜
For those of you who haven't had their coffee yet, that was sarcasm.

I remember my mom scrambling trying to get original records for my grandparents when voting ID laws changed down south.
And I know a NOT SMALL number of grown ppl who don't have their birth certificates in general.

I'm trying to get my Real ID. Lost docs in a fire. My new Birth Certificate took four months to arrive. Been waiting 3 months for my marriage license from 25 years ago to show why my name changed. I deeply regret changing my surname when I married. Told my engaged neice not to do it.

It's not "I told you so" it is a education, otherwise we will be a repeat loop. We did this once already, 8 years ago. We didn't learn the last time. I didn't say I like it, but I also don't like

There is a counter-argument. Let them blow it up. It will be hideous, but maybe that is the only way to educate the ones who voted this horde in as to what voting against "experts", "knowledge", and "science" brings. That the face the leopard eats is often your own. No pain, no correction. 1/

Especially since his friend is going to "overhaul" the FDA, which, by happenstance, oversees medical devices. "Well, the OTA we pushed last night bricked a bunch of our users. We are trying to reboot them now, but we have discovered that you have to do that pretty quickly when it comes to humans."

At this rate it will be a when, not if, we get single payer healthcare in the US, those same insurance companies will ask "why?" never realizing that a bit of self-regulation and good manners when they could have, would have prevented armageddon when it was too late to do anything about it. 2/
