He has stated that he will get Russia invasion stopped and will also get Israel to stop the war in Gaza 😀 but you know what he can’t do a damn thing about it’s the school shootings they will just keep on happening! Take that to the bank
I did think it was funny that the two guys that actually served (Vance, Hegseth) had their hands over their hearts and Admiral Bonespurs saluted. Magats all x themselves over that. Fucking hilarious.
I do give him credit for not wearing a uniform and/or having cracker jack medals on his jacket.
yeah he's a civilian right now...not appropriate for an orange moron draft dodger
Is it appropriate for the Vegetable in Chief then?

PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP DEEMED THAT ATTENDING THE 125TH ARMY-NAVY GAME AND HONORING OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM, OUR FLAG AND OUR MILITARY MEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, TO BE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. THAT IS HOW A PROUD U.S. PRESIDENT SHOULD CONDUCT HIMSELF.

You may want to amend your claim. He attended as VP, and thus “while in office.”
But you know, “a proud US President” also doesn’t hire folks who intend to gut the VA, nor endorse, before denying it, I think you call that “he was for it before he was against it” Project 2025 that outlined just that.

Ending DST is probably the right move even though I very selfishly want it not to end. My reason is that I bike about 120 miles per week in daylight time. Ending DST will slash my ability to do so in spring/fall after work. But again, I know that's selfish. (Equally selfishly, I'd rather go to daylight time all year but darkness at like 8:30 AM is probably a non-starter).
Ending DST makes sense because the time change messes with circadian rhythm's, etc.
The question is, semi-connected to my selfish reason, given how people spend too much time inside, does this bring people (particularly kids) inside too early and swap an hour of play time for an hour of screen time? I dunno.
That bolded part is an important point. Twice a year, millions upon millions of people get their sleeping habit jerked around- not me so much, mine has been wonky for quite awhile anyway, lol, but really, for working people, this is just not a good thing. It's kind of barbaric, really.
In NY in the summer it's light out before 5am, and can definitely wake me up, so not sure standard time would help with sleep in summer
Without DST, the worker getting home at 5.30pm DST is instead getting home at 4.30pm standard time. Will absolutely lead to more AC use in the summer.

Every time this subject comes up (even on a thread that is not actually about time change, lol), I think about Jeremy Rifkin's excellent book, Time Wars. Rifkin talks about our obsession with time and how all that affects us. One of my favorite passages is where he talks about a well meaning group (Europeans, if I recall correctly) who start up a school in a more "primitive" (I would call it "natural") region of Africa. The teachers there found it frustrating that students (including adults) showed up pretty much whenever they wanted, but mainly because these people lived by the natural inclination to do things according to weather and light and need. We in the west do things much more artificially according to the almighty clock. It would be a bit foolish to adopt the African's way of living... but it sure makes better sense to me! IN any case, good book!

Sheeple, to me, sounds French.
Not even close, bud. Female sheep are brebis. Male sheep are called mouton. And Cadet is the same word in English
Which brings up an interesting question: is this wine made from stomped male sheep cadets? You think that's weird? Look at the label! My GOD!

Biden would have authority to salute in that same situation since he is currently the CIC. My guess is that he doesn't because he sees a dividing line between military and civilian (i.e. adults that don't play army time)

Trump Sues The Des Moines Register, Escalating Threats Against the Media
President-elect
Donald J. Trump has said he would use his power to punish people he
claims have wronged him. Those goals are now coming into focus.
President-elect
Donald J. Trump sued The Des Moines Register for running a poll before
the election that showed him trailing Vice President Kamala Harris,
escalating his threats to seek retribution against the mainstream media
and his political enemies.
Mr. Trump
has long said that people he claims have wronged him should be
prosecuted, including President Biden and his family; Jack Smith, the
special counsel who charged Mr. Trump with trying to overturn the 2020
election and mishandling classified documents; and Liz Cheney, the
former representative from Wyoming who helped lead the House
investigation into Mr. Trump’s efforts to cling to power in 2020.
In
recent months, he has filed various legal actions against the media
that amount to a warning shot about what sort of retaliation
journalists, in particular, might face.
As
he prepares to take office again, Mr. Trump will have at his disposal
the levers of government, a Republican Party that is more pliant than it
was four years ago and a well-funded external political apparatus.
“It’s
clear that Trump is waging war on the press,” said Samantha Barbas, a
professor at the University of Iowa College of Law whose book, “Actual
Malice,” is about the Supreme Court’s most famous defamation case.
“Trump and his lawyers are going to use any legal claim that they think
has a chance of sticking. They’ll cast a wide net to carry out this
vendetta.”
Ms. Barbas added that
prevailing in court may be beside the point. The lawsuits “are not so
much geared toward winning as much as threatening,” she said.
Many
of Mr. Trump’s lawsuits go nowhere, including one that accused Hillary
Clinton and a group of other Democrats of being part of a racketeering
conspiracy against him. That particular suit resulted in nearly $1
million in fines issued by the judge against Mr. Trump’s lawyer.
But
last week, ABC News settled a defamation suit filed against the network
by Mr. Trump for $15 million, along with another $1 million in legal
fees, a huge sum and one that appears to have emboldened the incoming
president.
The latest legal action
came on Monday when Mr. Trump filed a lawsuit against pollster J. Ann
Selzer, her polling firm, The Des Moines Register and Gannett, the
newspaper’s parent company. The suit, filed in Polk County, Iowa, and
obtained by The New York Times, accused Ms. Selzer of “brazen election
interference” for a poll published shortly before the election that
showed Ms. Harris leading in Iowa by three points.
Mr.
Trump won the state handily, as he has in the past. On Monday, at a
news conference in Florida, Mr. Trump previewed the lawsuit, which was
already in the process of being drafted.
“I have to do it,” Mr. Trump said. “We have to straighten out the press.”
Unlike
most of Mr. Trump’s other lawsuits against the media, which involve
claims of defamation, this case alleged Ms. Selzer violated the Iowa
Consumer Fraud Act, which prohibits deceptive practices that occur in
sales or advertising.
“We believe this
lawsuit is without merit,” said Lark-Marie Anton, a spokeswoman for The
Des Moines Register. “We have acknowledged that the Selzer/Des Moines
Register pre-election poll did not reflect the ultimate margin of
President Trump’s Election Day victory in Iowa by releasing the poll’s
full demographics, cross-tabs, weighted and unweighted data, as well as a
technical explanation from pollster Ann Selzer.”
Ms. Anton added: “We stand by our reporting on the matter and will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights.”
Ms.
Selzer said she hadn’t seen the lawsuit and could not comment. But last
week, in an interview with PBS, she strongly denounced the idea that
she was colluding with anyone to influence an election.
The
lawsuit marked the second time this fall that Mr. Trump has used state
laws against misleading consumers to attack a news outlet. In October,
he sued CBS News in federal court in Texas, alleging that “60 Minutes”
engaged in deceptive trade practices when it aired an interview with Ms.
Harris.
That argument — along with
searching for specific legal jurisdictions that the Trump team believes
could be favorable to him — is part of a more targeted approach that the
incoming president and his advisers are taking to use the court system
as a weapon.
Mr. Trump, who has called
reporters “the enemy of the people,” has repeatedly described wanting
to be treated “fairly.” But what he would consider fair has often
appeared to be news coverage that doesn’t challenge him.
Mr.
Trump’s pick to lead the F.B.I., Kash Patel, said months before the
election that he would use his job in the next administration “to come
after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who
helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.”
Since
winning the election, Mr. Trump told NBC he didn’t expect that Mr.
Patel would investigate Mr. Trump’s “political enemies.” But when asked
if he wanted to see that happen, Mr. Trump replied: “If they were
crooked, if they did something wrong, if they have broken the law,
probably. They went after me. You know, they went after me, and I did
nothing wrong.”
Just
this week, Mr. Trump’s allies in Congress moved to support his efforts
to seek retribution against Ms. Cheney, a chair of the House committee
that investigated the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and recommended criminal
charges against Mr. Trump.
On Tuesday,
a House oversight subcommittee issued a report recommending that Ms.
Cheney herself face criminal investigation for some of the work she did
while investigating Mr. Trump. The report accused Ms. Cheney of secretly
communicating with one of the committee’s star witnesses, Cassidy
Hutchinson, without Ms. Hutchinson’s lawyer knowing.
Ms.
Hutchinson gave significant but disputed testimony at one of the
committee’s public hearings, describing, among other things, how Mr.
Trump was warned that his supporters were carrying weapons on Jan. 6 but
expressed no concern because they were not a threat to him.
By
recommending that Ms. Cheney be investigated — including for possibly
violating the same federal obstruction count that the congresswoman
recommended against Mr. Trump — the House Republicans appeared to be
laying the groundwork for a potential criminal prosecution. Mr. Trump
has repeatedly said that Ms. Cheney and other members of the Jan. 6
committee should face charges and jail time.
In Mr. Trump’s own telling, winning his civil legal actions isn’t always the point.
Mr.
Trump, who has often attacked journalists publicly for details in news
accounts that he hasn’t liked, famously lost a libel case that he
brought against the writer Timothy O’Brien over Mr. O’Brien’s
description of Mr. Trump’s net worth as much less than he claimed it to
be.
The
case played out over the span of years. But during the 2016 election,
Mr. Trump told The Washington Post that it was worth it, even with the
loss.
“I spent a couple of bucks on
legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more,” he said of Mr. O’Brien and
his book publisher. “I did it to make his life miserable, which I’m
happy about.”

Many of Mr. Trump’s lawsuits go nowhere, including one that accused Hillary Clinton and a group of other Democrats of being part of a racketeering conspiracy against him. That particular suit resulted in nearly $1 million in fines issued by the judge against Mr. Trump’s lawyer.
But last week, ABC News settled a defamation suit filed against the network by Mr. Trump for $15 million, along with another $1 million in legal fees, a huge sum and one that appears to have emboldened the incoming president.
The latest legal action came on Monday when Mr. Trump filed a lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer, her polling firm, The Des Moines Register and Gannett, the newspaper’s parent company. The suit, filed in Polk County, Iowa, and obtained by The New York Times, accused Ms. Selzer of “brazen election interference” for a poll published shortly before the election that showed Ms. Harris leading in Iowa by three points.
Mr. Trump won the state handily, as he has in the past. On Monday, at a news conference in Florida, Mr. Trump previewed the lawsuit, which was already in the process of being drafted.
“I have to do it,” Mr. Trump said. “We have to straighten out the press.”
Unlike most of Mr. Trump’s other lawsuits against the media, which involve claims of defamation, this case alleged Ms. Selzer violated the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act, which prohibits deceptive practices that occur in sales or advertising.
“We believe this lawsuit is without merit,” said Lark-Marie Anton, a spokeswoman for The Des Moines Register. “We have acknowledged that the Selzer/Des Moines Register pre-election poll did not reflect the ultimate margin of President Trump’s Election Day victory in Iowa by releasing the poll’s full demographics, cross-tabs, weighted and unweighted data, as well as a technical explanation from pollster Ann Selzer.”
Ms. Anton added: “We stand by our reporting on the matter and will vigorously defend our First Amendment rights.”
Ms. Selzer said she hadn’t seen the lawsuit and could not comment. But last week, in an interview with PBS, she strongly denounced the idea that she was colluding with anyone to influence an election.
The lawsuit marked the second time this fall that Mr. Trump has used state laws against misleading consumers to attack a news outlet. In October, he sued CBS News in federal court in Texas, alleging that “60 Minutes” engaged in deceptive trade practices when it aired an interview with Ms. Harris.
That argument — along with searching for specific legal jurisdictions that the Trump team believes could be favorable to him — is part of a more targeted approach that the incoming president and his advisers are taking to use the court system as a weapon.
Mr. Trump, who has called reporters “the enemy of the people,” has repeatedly described wanting to be treated “fairly.” But what he would consider fair has often appeared to be news coverage that doesn’t challenge him.
Mr. Trump’s pick to lead the F.B.I., Kash Patel, said months before the election that he would use his job in the next administration “to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.”
Since winning the election, Mr. Trump told NBC he didn’t expect that Mr. Patel would investigate Mr. Trump’s “political enemies.” But when asked if he wanted to see that happen, Mr. Trump replied: “If they were crooked, if they did something wrong, if they have broken the law, probably. They went after me. You know, they went after me, and I did nothing wrong.”
Just this week, Mr. Trump’s allies in Congress moved to support his efforts to seek retribution against Ms. Cheney, a chair of the House committee that investigated the events of Jan. 6, 2021, and recommended criminal charges against Mr. Trump.
On Tuesday, a House oversight subcommittee issued a report recommending that Ms. Cheney herself face criminal investigation for some of the work she did while investigating Mr. Trump. The report accused Ms. Cheney of secretly communicating with one of the committee’s star witnesses, Cassidy Hutchinson, without Ms. Hutchinson’s lawyer knowing.
Ms. Hutchinson gave significant but disputed testimony at one of the committee’s public hearings, describing, among other things, how Mr. Trump was warned that his supporters were carrying weapons on Jan. 6 but expressed no concern because they were not a threat to him.
By recommending that Ms. Cheney be investigated — including for possibly violating the same federal obstruction count that the congresswoman recommended against Mr. Trump — the House Republicans appeared to be laying the groundwork for a potential criminal prosecution. Mr. Trump has repeatedly said that Ms. Cheney and other members of the Jan. 6 committee should face charges and jail time.
In Mr. Trump’s own telling, winning his civil legal actions isn’t always the point.
Mr. Trump, who has often attacked journalists publicly for details in news accounts that he hasn’t liked, famously lost a libel case that he brought against the writer Timothy O’Brien over Mr. O’Brien’s description of Mr. Trump’s net worth as much less than he claimed it to be.
The case played out over the span of years. But during the 2016 election, Mr. Trump told The Washington Post that it was worth it, even with the loss.
“I spent a couple of bucks on legal fees, and they spent a whole lot more,” he said of Mr. O’Brien and his book publisher. “I did it to make his life miserable, which I’m happy about.”
