MLMP08, you are an ADA soldier, how big is the Army C-RAM force? We talking a battalion sized element? A couple companies spread across different ADA battalions? A brigade (Doubtful but who the gently caress knows)? I’m curious. It seems like a really cool job, and additionally a very important job.

As I recall, two active duty BNs (5-5 and 2-44) that are a dedicated split of C-RAM (IFPC now) with Avengers as well. National guard avenger units also activate to do C-RAM. Active avenger units used to be tapped for C-RAM but there are less active avenger units now and also more interest in keeping Avenger capabilities on call or deployed as drones have proliferated. Lately it’s been kind of a switch-hit in afghanistan between FA and ADA pulling deployments. It’s ADA now; last rotation was an FA guard unit out of Guam IIRC.

E: on the active side, the Avenger MOS was formally modified a few years ago to include C-RAM. Not so for guard, but they still get the training in AIT and get tapped for C-RAM missions. There’s just no IFPC/C-RAM equipped guard formations.

Even better then, I guess they can just have judges quit by choice a week or a few before elections and then always allow 2-year gubernatorial appointments.

There are problems with electing judges, but deliberately gaming the system to only allow judges from the party other than the governor to face election is a bad precedent.

If I understood an article I read correctly, in mid November the old Justice said that he would quit at the end of December. Their constitution has justices appointments based around the calendar year, so because he quit right before January first, it didn't automatically go to an election. Also, the Justice has to sit for at least six months, so if the governor appointed Justice takes his seat on June 1st, then based on their not real Supreme Court decision, because all of the actual justices reused themselves, the next time they will be legally allowed to vote for a Justice is 2022.

At least, that's my understanding of it.

It was an intern he was having an affair with. She died of head trauma in his office, but per a Florida medical examiner the cause was she fainted and hit her head on the way down. It's super suspicious imo and the best argument for it just being a huge accident is Trump saying the opposite.

Michigan is sending out mail in ballot applications. It’s not even ballots. Michigan is doing the same thing Georgia is doing (and several other states) but look at who the governors are and you can figure that one out.

I don’t really know anything about Nevada.

Nevada Secretary of State posted:

Nevada plans to conduct an all-mail election for the June 9, 2020 primary election. All active registered voters in Nevada will be mailed an absentee ballot for the primary election. No action or steps, such as submitting an absentee ballot request application, will be required by individual voters in order to receive a ballot in the mail. Voters will be able to mark their ballot at home and then return it by mail using a postage-prepaid envelope or by dropping it off in person at a designated county location. This announcement applies only to the June 9, 2020 primary election.

I think it was in a (much) earlier iteration of this thread, around the time Pompeo was nominated, that someone posted an article detailing that the Pompeos have a reputation for enjoying the high life on the public dime.

i wouldn't make that exact suggestion, but yeah, she sucks at insults. just say he's a big fat fatty that you can tell wears a diaper, and that you saw him poo poo himself and could smell it.

e: 'morbidly obese,' it's what a doctor nerd would say, these people have learned nothing from the past ten years, much less the last three years. although in pelosi's defense, she's set for life, there's no need to actually do anything.

Upon trying to find the story, I may have been thinking of Scott Pruitt, actually. The Morocco trip that was a naked play for airline and hotel points, which I had somehow associated with Pompeo, was Pruitt. So hard to tell these grifters apart. Which one was it who was flying around on private jets, Tom Price?

Pretty sure Pompeo story was actually about he and his wife being Dominionists which is also fine and cool
