Well, with the number of people held accountable for 2020’s rig holding firm at zero there isn’t really anything dissuading them from doing it again.

Hell, for some of them, they cheated, got caught, and saw a lucrative payday from those that pointed out the cheating.

They’re trying to plead incompetence when it was absolutely malice.

We’ll see what happens with any of it, but I have my doubts about REAL consequences.

The SAVE Act was kind of a hard sell already, but asking these selfish pricks to postpone their exorbitant paychecks to pass it?

I honestly don’t see it happening.

He’s a gun grabber and climate cultist. Those are two thing I find incompatible with MAGA. Tulsi is in the same boat.

They own the world. After a certain point there’s no use describing the amount of fiat currency they lose or gain because it only has the value that they say it has.

To be fair, if it was a white male, it’s pretty obvious where the conversation would go.

He was in the Guard which can be hit or miss with the quality of soldier you get because a lot of times it’s a good ole boy network more than anything.

He was in artillery. If he doesn’t have poor hearing, that says a lot about his career.

That made sense back in WWI and prior days. Now, to progress in your career as a noncommissioned officer, you need professional development which usually involves at least 1 college degree.

The officer corps really is about woke indoctrination now more than being the smartest bunch to lead service members.

Depends on the job and the branch. Army will promote PT studs that don’t know shit about their jobs, and the way to promotion, a lot of times has more to do with looking good in front of a board, saying the right thing, and having the proper race, gender, or sexual preference/identity than any idea of leadership in your given field.

There IS a lot of that, too. Put simply, the Air Force generally knows how to treat their people. Army and Marine Corps will use you up and throw you away when you’re broken.

There’s a reason the Air Force has a higher percentage of retirees than any other branch.

Most enlisted would take the turn into an officer if the option was given. It’s just a better life. Less running you into the ground and SIGNIFICANTLY better pay. A brand new just commissioned 2nd Lieutenant makes as much as an E-6 with several years in.

Lower enlisted qualify for food stamps up until E-5. I did 16 years in. I can tell you that officers are on a whole different plane of existence in comparison.

He’s said before that he’s not gonna run again. This seems like him taking a payout before he leaves.

Trouble is, siding with all these former Dems is gonna turn this MAGA party into a disillusioned Democrat party.

I’d rather be somewhere between Libertarian and Republican than Libertarian and Democrat.

This close to the election? Getting close enough to stab Trump in the back again and take a nice, hefty pay day.

On one hand, I will be happy for it because it means the country can band together and push out the corruption.

On the other, I’m dreading it. The DS won’t give up easily and they’ve flooded the border with soldiers. I’ve been to combat. It’s ugly. I don’t want it for any of my fellow Americans.

Why?

We can’t just leave that shithole section of the planet alone?

We need literally nothing from them. Let them kill each other.

They'll count it anyways, depending on who the ballot is for. They keep blatantly cheating and defying the election rules. The response is always "Oh well, the election is over and the winners have been announced. We'll have to handle it next time."
