I'm just addressing this. The Truman strike group has been in heavy combat for months. Mistakes and losses are inevitable. They have been shot at for months, constantly intercepting those Houthi missiles. People are twitchy and tired being stuck on those ships. The news is being disingenuous not mentioning that this has been the highest intensity naval combat for the US Navy since WW2. Fuckups are inevitable. It's shocking it hasn't been worse.

patently false, 3 gen 4 fighters going down in a single deployment? also what are you talking about naval battle since ww2? dude we fought MULTIPLE naval battles since then, INCLUDING the famous "Gulf Of tonkin Incident" thats severity depends on your belief level

How about in '87 when the USS Stark was hit by not 1 but 2 Exocet missile strikes in the Arabian sea?

Or in 86' when f-14s defended the fleet in the Indian ocean from Mig-28s?

The idea that the Houthis are creating the "highest intensity naval combat since ww2" for the US navy is LAUGHABLE and the fact they have 2 maneuver kills of f-18s is a badge of shame we will have to wear as a nation forever

Purely anecdotal, grain of salt, and all that, but I have LEOs/firefighters/paramedics in my family. Consequently, I also have several family friends who are in those fields. Almost all of them have given me some variation of the "don't trust a cop, ever" speech. Which boils down to basically:

He's not your buddy looking to help you out of a pickle. He can and will fuck you in various ways. The average American, as a routine course of daily life, violates at least 5 laws a day, often without any thought or notice. Cooperate, but keep your mouth shut outside of responses to lawful commands.


Which is precisely why, at least in certain jurisdictions, I, as an average, decently educated and successful white dude, am MORE likely to catch a bullshit charge. A lot more shit goes by the wayside from "Its cuz I'm black, huh?!?" than you think. They make up the numbers by coming down harder on the average joe. At least, in certain jurisdictions. Or so I am told. Again. grain of salt.

Fair enough. All I was really trying to say is that you do not have to present ID to a police officer depending on your state and, in my state, you have the right to shut up and say nothing unless you are operating a motor vehicle (in which case the cops absolutely can drag your ass out if they think you're a danger to them or others).

My general advice is to be polite with police, but guarded. If you do not want to speak to them, ask if you are being detained, and walk away if they say no. If they say you are being detained, then shut the fuck up entirely. If they arrest you, wire your mouth shut if you have to.

I'm a white guy (or not, depending on how far you go down the rabbit hole) who has done a ton of shit I should not have and got away with a lot of it by simply shutting up and walking away. People fuck themselves by thinking they can talk their way out of a situation with police. If a cop wants to talk to you, then chances are he's already fixing to detain/arrest you, so just shut the fuck up. Yes, sometimes a cop will try to nick you for sus, but he can only hold you for a certain amount of time. If you shut up and stick to that, and there is literally no other evidence, then the cop eventually has to let you go. Does it suck? Yeah, but "just shut the fuck up" will get you out of it.

You are retarded if you don't understand the scale of the battle in the Red Sea that's been taking place. None. They have run their crew ragged on a non stop bombing and interception campaign for MONTHS. Not days, not weeks, months. Humans aren't machines and fatigue is real. Also they are shaving years off all their hardware with how hard they have been pushing. Stop being retarded.

You actually do account for fuckups in operations. It's called combat losses. War isn't pretty. It's hell. Also your grammer is atrocious.
 
The new cycles for the past few weeks really have been a discombobulated mess. All I'm seeing now is stuff about how Republicans are breaking down and not going to support Trump's bills and shit like that... but, so far, when the media says shit like this, they end up being wrong and make no apology for it. They're already changing their tune regarding China since the US and China are meeting to talk about tariffs now.

It's like none of these people have the ability to sit back, wait, and see what happens. I know that most of them are communist hacks trying to hurt Trump, but there are some people who ought to know better and fall for this shit. The economy is collapsing! they cry as the stock market closes in the black. Come on, people.
 
On one hand, I'm glad to see trade deals being finalized in as little as a month since tariffs were enforced.
On the other hand, I despise Brits and their self-aggrandizing, suicidal obsession with proving how not racist they are and would prefer they all died off.
Life is full of tough choices.

The upcoming complete leftist meltdown due to the cognitive dissonance they experience when "Blacks can be Racist" becomes something they cannot just ignore is going to be fun to watch. Currently they've went so far as to literally force the fucking dictionary to change the definition of words because some racist cunty shaniqua on twitter got BTFO'd with a dictionary screenshot and AWWW HAAAALZ NAWH. Blacks turning on the Jews would be absolutely hilarious. How fast do you think the Jews can destroy a Golem?
