What an interestingly precise number, $1.776, don't you think?

You are irrefutably correct. I support Trump on many fronts, but this is writing checks with his mouth that he can't cash.
Ya gotta love happy endings
The price of liberty is, always has been, and always will be blood. The person who is not willing to die for his liberty has already lost it to the first scoundrel who is willing to risk dying to violate that person's liberty. Are you free? -- Andrew Ford
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." -- John F. Kennedy
***Let it not be said that the Founding Fathers were silent on this specific issue:
No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it. -- 16 Am. Jur. Sec. 177 late 2d, Sec 256
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom - go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
Samuel Adams
If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted . . . . If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.
Noah Webster
[W]hat country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time that [the] people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms...The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Col. William S. Smith, 1787
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined." -- Patrick Henry, speech of June 5 1788
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.
Thomas Jefferson
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."
- Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, 1833
"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers, may be exerted with infinitely better prospect of success than against those of the rulers of an individual state. In a single state, if the persons entrusted with supreme power become usurpers, the different parcels, subdivisions, or districts of which it consists, having no distinct government in each, can take no regular measures for defense. The citizens must rush tumultuously to arms, without concert, without system, without resource; except in their courage and despair."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
"[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788
"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."
- Tench Coxe, Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789
Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual… Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us.
John Hancock
Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.
John Adams
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Stephens Smith, son-in-law of John Adams, December 20, 1787
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might have a gun."
- Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1778
"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."
- Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788

Rap is the most mindless, intellectually deficient, so called "music" ever devised.
Bill Timmy Waltz for the replacement value of the items destroyed.
OOOOOhhhhh, bet SEAL team 6 is running scared, now they're gonna have to go up against a real operator. She's a legend in her own mind.
When they say, "We just don't know what happened to him, he just distappeared", U.S. SPECOPS were near at hand. 😁
I'm dying to find out.
With no bag limit.
TSA is an illegitimate agency. It has accomplished nothing, prevented nothing, and the "officers" are nothing but wanna be security guards. Just like the scamdemic, TSA was established to erode our liberties and freedom.
So that's what, "Having your panties in a wad" looks like. Never saw a happier looking bunch of people.
I wonder, if someone broke into his house and shot him, would he declare that to be an unfortunate accident also?
Well now, hold on. They're very open minded, inclusive, and tolerant in Portland. I'm sure that if the white guy had stabbed the black guy, he would have been acquitted too, if the black guy had called him a honkey, or cracker. After all, the diversity/equity/and inclusion principle works both ways.....doesn't it....doesn't it???
Republican = cloaked dimocrat
Now I have to clean my keyboard, and get more coffee.
Correct, you have to serve for 30 years to get full retirement. You get nothing if you ETS before doing 20 years. If you serve for at least 20 years you receive the following retirement benefits:
The percentage of retirement pay collected from the military after 20 years of service depends on the retirement plan under which the service member served.
For those who entered military service before September 8, 1980, the Final Pay Plan applies, providing 50% of final basic pay after 20 years of service.
For those who entered service between September 8, 1980, and July 31, 1986, the High-36 plan applies, resulting in 50% of the average of the highest 36 months of basic pay after 20 years of service.
For those who entered service on or after August 1, 1986, and before January 1, 2018, the Career Status Bonus/Redux (CSB/REDUX) plan applies. Under this plan, retirement pay is 40% of the average of the highest 36 months of basic pay after 20 years of service.
For those who entered service on or after January 1, 2018, the Blended Retirement System (BRS) applies, providing 40% of the average of the highest 36 months of basic pay after 20 years of service.
Lock and load one 30 round magazine.....and watch....your lane.
You are on point, just a bunch of new age blah blah blah.
Call sign "eagledriver", makes sense. I salute you brother.
