None of the Justices dissented on this decision. Does that suggest they all agree that Trump should exhaust the appeals before they make the final ruling?

No doubt, but the Rs have already politicized the highest officers by labeling those making policy with which they disagree woke. They pay close attention and vet the generals, and I believe they'll use this practice to influence the promotions with their own hierarchy in mind--and plans once it's in place.

I suspect this was Tuberville's main goal with all this nonsense. The disruption to the defense department and nonstop cycle of distraction this year have been icing on the cake for him and MAGA at large.

Tuberville has achieved setting precedent that higher officer promotions don't need unanimous Senate consent. Republicans will plan to use this to promote MAGA friendly officers in an effort to influence and control the military.

My manager is a prime example of your first category. He has a nice federal retirement and a chunk of a 401k, but he stays here...riding his desk. He can't begin to fill the shoes of the Gen-X manager he replaced. Thus the quality of my department suffers because he's a weak manager and susceptible to the schmooze by younger employees.

He took over the position just after he: 1. Moved 2 hours away, and 2. Had a massive heart attack. This guy's circumstances are screaming at him to retire, but he just. Won't. Move. On.

The trouble is, the amount of steady pressure to apply varies inversely proportionate to the amount of towel left on the roll. So it's a guessing game for most people as to how hard to pull.

Seriously, we need a Cubi-Cal character for the misspellings

Those poor bastards had no idea that by the time this would became reality, most of the results on screen would be junk they don't care to read. News coverage is sold to the highest bidder.

Leave it to the federal government to put the most informative piece at the END of the release, and then to botch that as well.

Maybe the voices will have him set fire to George W. Bush and then have a long walk into the Red Sea.

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

cracks the blinds to look for agents outside

I can attest that the Osprey was considered a dangerous piece of shit aircraft among many Air Force members since back in the 90s. Over the years since hearing that talk the odd Osprey crash has hit the news here and there, and I'm thinking they were right.

When I was stationed in the UK, we were warned not to use private driveways to turn around our cars.

They said the residents don't take kindly to having their driveways disturbed and might raise hell, chasing the car with whatever they could grab (allegedly this had happened many times).

We need solid journalism. But with everyone conditioned for years now to crave outrage reporting, there's not enough demand for unbiased facts.

My hope is that this is a temporary growing pain as we wrap our heads around having the internet in our lives.

Thanks for sharing this. Winter has so far been covid time in my area, so this is good timing.

So this fool compiled the report and submitted it to court. Then on cross examination, when asked to quote a line from his own report, he says "this is the first time I've seen this" to avoid perjury.

Will that throw a wrench into the inevitable appeal?

No shortage for that trash heap! Myq can get fucked!

Losing them tons of money is the only way to make the faceless corporates pay attention and take action. I hope they do it.

Yes, and at times like these some military leaders tend to tell troops to "be financially ready" to go unpaid, and "there is no excuse for not paying your bills on time".

Late and missed payments are sometimes reported to members' leadership by the debtors, especially landlords. Normally this isn't such a bad thing, since service members are expected to be on top of their debts at all times--but being punished for this when going unpaid is completely cruel.

Honestly that was 50% of the Choctaw I know from my late grandad. The other is pronounced 'chimmy-chuck-mwah', and means 'how are you' IIRC.

Ditto, halito!
