In 2022, it called for a referendum on Texas secession; resistance to the “Great Reset,” a conspiracy theory that claims global elites are using environmental and social policies to enslave the world’s population; proclamations that homosexuality is an “abnormal lifestyle choice”; and a declaration that President Joe Biden was not legitimately elected.

RFC2324 posted:Let Mexico have it back for a couple hundred years I can't think of any scenarios in which this doesn't end horribly for Mexico at all levels, and the few where Texas benefits would lead to Texas being a place I want to live in even less than I already do.

Offers of relocation to anyone that wants to get out if that shithole state on the Fed's dime, then pull the military out and build a real wall. They want a wall so bad they can pay or it in Freedom Dollars or whatever the gently caress Texas makes for its currency when they're excised from the nation.

Thankfully my employer has a national footprint and is pretty good about mobility, although my current role is Texas-bound for the foreseeable future.

Texas has broken away on two occasions because they wouldn’t give up slavery. A third time would be in character.

But my point is that crowbarring a Texas run by the most Texaniest Texans into Mexico (because everybody else left) would rapidly gently caress Mexico up hardcore, because Texas would start a Mexican civil war over being forced to learn Spanish or something equally stupid.

Integrating texas into mexico would gently caress up Mexico something fierce, even in a best case scenario. The population of Texas is fully 1/4th that of Mexico's.

Trump preempted criticism here by saluting a North Korean general as the sitting president of the United States. Nothing can ever top that.

I sometimes think of that moment and I'm like 99% certain that the NK general in that photo will spend the rest of his time on this earth thinking about how that was the single most bizarre event of his life.

Grip it and rip it posted:Did he? I recall it as a notable misstep, among a Presidency that was littered with demeaning moments for the nation. More to the point - nobody who understands or cares why it was an inappropriate thing for a head of state to do is going to have looked past the rest of his behaviour before, during, and after his presidency and still think it's a solid idea to vote for him.

One of those odd things that irks me despite having a DD214 for more than 20 years is a crappy salute like you see in a bad war movie or something. Don't know why, it just makes me cringe a bit on the inside. That being said, Cadet Bonespurs renders an absolute poo poo salute. Looks like even more of a fool.

Let's not forget that it was Reagan who started the trend of presidents saluting out of uniform, and every single one of them since has felt obliged to repeat that mistake. Just like it's no longer acceptable to appear in public without a US flag pin on their suit lapel.

Is there a CIC uniform that they're supposed to wear or something

Milo and POTUS posted:That figures but what's out of uniform mean? Is there a CIC uniform that they're supposed to wear or something An individual not in uniform does not have to render a salute. The President is saluted and does not have to render a responding salute because they are the Civilian head of the military, you want a salute from a general gently caress around outside the Pentagon or go to the Joint Chiefs. The President is a civilian and does not salute others.

Speaking of salutes, it reminds me of when I was a second lieutenant on the squadron staff and I had to go to the brigade HQ for a meeting. On the way there literally every command sergeant major in the brigade was standing along the sidewalk and of course they all snapped to attention to salute me. Like 30 minutes later when I was on the way back from my meeting they were STILL standing there along the sidewalk. And the same thing happened. Definitely up there as one of my most awkward experiences in the Army. I didn't even have 2 years in the Army to their cumulative centuries of experience.

I got saluted the other day by a E2 reservist marine. I got so confused trying to find his shiny on his collar thinking I missed it.

loving navy rank icons are impossible to figure out on the fly. We had two E-4 navy augmentees with our shop in Afghanistan that eventually gave up and just started saluting people back if we were walking past instead of trying to explain to every one "yes it's a bird no don't salute me".

He just called someone a pedophile and stormed away mad when nobody wanted to use his submarine. I'm not sure what we'd need to do to convince him to get in.

quote:“Patrick has been thinking about and designing this for over a decade. But we didn’t have the materials and technology,” Connor said. “You couldn’t have built this sub five years ago.” I... what? Peak billionaire brain. Proudly discovering how to do something that has been done safely hundreds of times using technology dating back to the 70s. Until the last billionaire I guess.
