Meanwhile over here in Australia, you know, that big ole country down under…hello anyone? Can you hear us?
We, the Australian people, elected a Labor government for the second term yesterday.
This is BIG news!
It was a landslide vote against an increasingly scary, far-right Liberal party. A party that was set to act from Trumps playbook.
We said NO! We voted for us. And we voted for you too America. You’re welcome.
Donald Trump is the most unpopular 100-day-mark president in modern American history.

I hope John Fetterman resigns from the Senate and gets the help he needs. No job is worth the risk that you won’t be there for your kids as they grow up.

I now understand that Waltz was fired for not being pro-Putin enough
Also, because he had, unfortunately, some foreign policy experience
In Trump’s cabinet, experience is a drawback as it can interfere with
knee-jerk loyalty
So know-nothings are preferred…

To understand DeSantis' pivot on Ukraine, you must first understand MAGA's pivot on wars we get involved in that don't start with us being attacked, and even then, after Afghanistan, MAGA is very skeptical of wars we get into because we got attacked. We're coming up on the 20-year anniversary of the Iraq War, a war that was mostly fought by and for old school republicans. It turned out that the leaders they had faith in (the Bush admin) were not only wrong about why we went into Iraq, they were…
The top states of origin of US military personnel by raw numbers are California, Texas, Florida, New York, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. By percentage of the respective state population they are South Carolina, Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Alabama, Texas, North Carolina and Nevada. https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:7a63e706-a9ea-3e4b-b8ec-f655fb1e3d1f This implies that, not unexpectedly, red states are somewhat more l…
Now consider that California has the highest total number of conservative voters in any US state. On a per capita basis *within* blue states, who do you think serves more, the conservative voters or the liberal ones? I know that when I served from 2004-2008 in a combat arms job that there was nary a liberal in sight, even though liberal NYC was quite literally Ground Zero for the war's initiation (global war on terror that is). Know how many liberals I saw at MEPS in NYC? Very few. I served wit…
You and I had very different experiences after we joined. And I joined from a liberal part of NY.
What years did you serve during and what was your MOS? I'll probably be able to tell you why we had different experiences just based off of the answer to that question.
2005-2012, I flew 130s in the AF.
That, good sir, is why we had very different experiences. I gather by the length of your service/contract and the chosen word "flew" that you were an officer yes? If so, those first few years were dedicated to you earning your wings. Depending on what kind of 130 it was, you MAY have been on fire support missions if it was an AC variant, but if not you were probably shuttling troops/equipment back and forth to the combat zone or doing fuel runs.
None of that changes the fact that 48% of 11Bs are minorities.
And again, per our convo in the comments below, being a minority does not auto-equate to being liberal. Plenty of minority conservatives out there, particularly in the latino demographic. Peep the bar charts for the USMC here: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/demographics-us-military

Enough already. There’s more to life than ranting about Donald Trump. A LOT more. Help me write the next American chapter.
The Trump Republicans are tragically unserious people—and the whole world knows it.
