We’re now a regional power with a large army, which will have to either attack things or reduce over time to survive its budget cost. We have to accept that a majority of voters chose this, and China will outpace us in many fields over the next 50 years.
And their families, sadly.
People are dying to volunteer.
Trump is not intelligent but he is savvy, and he has put together a coalition where no one idiot can hold a majority like he can. People only rebel when they have to or when it’s strongly in their best interest. The second can’t occur if you don’t hold a strong core to rebel with.
Yeah we sent troops to Louisiana in the 1860s, we can do it again if we need to.
Actually walgreens and cvs are pretty handy, I was able to stock for a small party on the cheap, and they’re every block or two
I’m currently here, and I have a $50/day resort fee, there is a parking fee (no car so don’t know it), $500 if they think someone smoked in the room, my $27 room service was $44 after convenience fees to take it up an elevator in the same building. $125 to stay an extra 2 hours on check out.
I’m here right now, wrapping up from a conference.
This place is dead.
I’ve been to Vegas many times, and the lack of foot traffic and crowds is incredible. The most notable thing is the lack of Americans and the strange increase in Hispanic visitors. I saw 8 separate tejano bands set up near the Bellagio with moderate crowds, similar to how it used to be for buskers in the early 2010s. You can get a reservation about anywhere for dinner, same day. Attractions are all walk in.
I’ve been chatting up my uber drivers, and they think it’s down 30-40% based on ride frequency.
If you could put in like ten minutes a day planning how to stop the Trisolarian invasion, we’d appreciate it.
I want to build garbage burning power plants in the US like in Scandinavia. It would remove methane emissions from landfills and you can do some carbon capture with scrubbers on the plants as they operate. Also, your fuel is free and the garbage companies can even charge less as they don’t have to maintain a landfill.
Last time Texas sent troopers to force their will on the North, it didn’t go so well.
Three at one location… if you change locations it’s a killing spree.
All their estates are going to healthcare bills.
Fun trump story. Obama was quoted saying that the military will present you with 2 bad options and the one they want to do. He said once he made them go back and do the work again because of this.
Early in trump’s first term, he chose one of the two bad options (massive cruise missile strikes out of proportion to the event). This says one of two things.
Either trump didn’t know he was being given bad options on purpose… or he did know, and didn’t care, choosing to do a bad thing to make the military give better options.
Neither would surprise me.
It’s a benign way to attach them legally to the effort. The next step of the slippery slope is to have them act defensively to protect ice agents, but then go back to their administrative duties.
Not sure we can get it done so soon, Virginia… could you serpentine out in the open so we have a bit more time?
Send them paper, that’s their problem.
Give this man a Simiril.
Ukrainian special forces.
Gavin should fire Trump and order all US agencies to not take orders from losers that have been fired by a real leader.
