I seem to remember when masking was mandatory for just about anything a person did in the name of safety. My the wheels have turned.

Ever think Trumpster and Musk are playing games with those who have been playing games on us for years?

Lets analyze the situation for a bit. It is estimated that Russia has lost 1,020,000 troops so far but only has a standing military of 1,100,000. So they want us to believe Russia has lost 92% of its military? Claims of tank losses around 10,000 and an insane amount of smaller combat vehicles would mean Russia is using horses and mules to carry equipment forward. Sweaterman is going to win they claim. I don’t think so and never have. They are blowing smoke up our skirts to make us feel good when in reality Russia is sitting in fortified positions waiting for Sweaterman to send troops at gunpoint to fight a war they don’t want.

Covid?? Yea I’ve heard of it. Common cold has two viruses. Rhino and Corona (Hint, hint). Never did CDC track common cold deaths (Wink). Trump was on track to landslide so a head fake was needed. Big Pharma made a killing while killing to put it bluntly. Now they are trying to clean up the mess while still using the great rona scare to cover their tracks. The lie cannot die else it would expose the real truth that we all know it to be. I predicted this back in the initial stages while bucking the diaper at every corner.

Same here but the hubbub is about taking it public. Just be careful not to jump in on the initial run till things shake out. Shorters will run the price up then collapse will ensue till the price stabilizes.

Problem is people do not understand Russia and what the goals are much less how military tactics are being played out. Yes drones are effective but if the Real Estate Company (boots on the ground) does not place the sold sign up nothing is gained. Drones are a support roll in the big picture. This is a skirmish over access to the Black Sea and protection of ethnic Russians in those areas. Ukraine is a sister state of Russia and the good old USA (CIA) has stuck their finger in the pie to disturb that bond to protect the money laundromat of foreign aid. Once SWA for the most art was shutdown it was concentrated in Ukraine. Now enter the Military Industrial Complex which profits off the sale of weapons systems and the media trying to sell the narrative to the general public. This is all to divert attention of the masses from the globalists agenda which one should read 1984 to understand where this is all leading us. Wars are no longer about winning but they do keep the attention away from what is really happening.

Part of the globalist agenda to divert attention away from Trump and those who are creating havoc on his agenda to MAGA

It is all smoke and mirrors. Been to Ukraine and seen the shithole for what it is. No way Russia is losing. Numerical advantage x10, equipment advantage x10, makes no sense. Went to aviation university in Kremenchuk. This is Ukrainian premier aviation training facility. One flyable aircraft period. Total dump city university and all. Still operates as a communist style work ethic where peasants beg for work while the oligarchs thumb their noses at them. In a propaganda war illusions are to sway public opinion. I think it is losing its gleam.

Propaganda at its best but Ukraine will not succeed and the laundromat will get closed no matter what these morons write.

Ever think Putty knows the longer this goes the more Ukraine’s corruption gets exposed and the general public will tire of the tax base funding a war that has no national interest. It is much like Korea and more important Vietnam. The public is tiring of watching their money go down a sinkhole with nothing in return. Ukraine has many ethnic Russians, they speak Russian, they use the same equipment and tactics. Where Ukraine went off the rails is listening to CIA and allowing it to install a puppet government and lander money so the military industrial complex and congress could profit. This is pure propaganda to sway opinion.

Pickup the red phone to PETA! Where is the outrage? Calling all animal rights groups! Crickets?

OMG! Putty has gone and done the disappearing act again. What prey tell are we to do?

So we have services all wrapped up? What happens if we get goods wrapped up also? Sounds like a winning strategy for the country IMHO. Morons only see what they want yet ignore the big picture.

Manufactured polls are conducted with a predetermined outcome desired by the commissioning company. They pay for what they get.

Well with Big Joan in on the gig that will blow up the common sense aspect.

Professional sports are to keep our focus off the political class as they rape this nation. Couldn’t care less about sports but do care for this nation to prosper for generations down the line. Wish more people would wake to this sham rather than watch overpaid grown men running around in knickers slapping each other on the ass.

“I’m guessing you are not familiar with the Tooth-to-tail ratio.”

More familiar than you are Sugar Plumb. I m a retired CW5 who has been in combat, made headlines of Army times and received the DFC through the marines I supported. Hard to achieve most of that from the Army because they are rather stingy with decorations and awards.

“I once dated a guy, a civilian employee who worked at the Aberdeen MD Proving grounds as a procurement specialist. He was a civilian employee but with a high security clearance”

And he may have been the problem of us getting the shit we needed when we needed it. I have been on goth sides. First as a warrant officer for 28+ years then as a money whore and found that side had nothing to with the money because it was all about the money. Civilians contractors are a drag on the military period. The military can and should do their own work and not rely on KBR and contractors like.

Sounds like you have an opinion but that is about all and we know what opinions are. Unless you have been in actual combat you need to slam your pie hole because I have been there and done that, got the tshirt and sometimes wake stuck to the ceiling. The military needs to run like a well oiled machine and we did not because of all the civilian contract personnel and JAG officers threating us when we just wanted to do our mission.

Now back to the 10 to 1 ratio. Yes it takes 10 to support for a trigger runner. From the time of the knights in shining armor it takes the same amount of support. Without that support we could not function but we do not need the civilian contractors when the military can do it without them.

“even jobs held by veterans at the VA”

Vet is loose term and just because you area vet doesn’t mean you are productive. Remember only 10% of those vets have ever been actively engaged in combat while the other 90% were sitting behind the wire playing volleyball (IE: Air Force).

Lets be clear. The libtards have twisted the constitution to fit their needs but if you read and understand the context of the time the constitution applies only to citizens, nothing more and nothing less. The opening sentence says it all. Non-citizens are not afforded constitutional protections because it does not apply to them, period! Once we get that cleared up we will be on the road to greatness else we will go the way of the Roman Empire.

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Note it says “We the people” which means citizens. Further down it says “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” which means it applies only to citizens. The constitution is a fascinating document to be written so many years ago with well thought out words by men who rode horses and eked out a living in a harsh new world.

If true keep in mind, Government wanting you to report something equates to a multitude of issues that should be of concern. Government snooping around could mean taxing your garden, destroying your garden because you didn’t do exactly as they wanted with planting, raising and harvesting or even impounding your property. Never trust a government employee when they claim they are here to help.
