  1. Seems like a logical idea, all a refueler has to do is fly in a straight line at a constant speed and altitude. Carrier landings would be its biggest challenge.
  2. Some of his stuff is actually funny but it is not something a police officer should be doing.
  3. When you look at the reason Al Franken resigned, it just shows how low Republican standards have sunk.
  4. I agree, there is no telling how many more lies will surface. Let the Republicans wrestle with his lies and their attempts to justify them.
  5. The people Republicans are electing make The Squad look like stars.
  6. Rep Katie Porter as the Republicans tie themselves in knots trying to choose a speaker
  7. It will be a tax grab eventually. BC's carbon tax used to be revenue neutral but now it just goes into general revenue. Too much money involved for governments to keep their hands off for long.
  8. Nothing new here, Republicans don’t believe in taxes.
  9. It isn't in the hands of government, people get to make their own choices.
  10. It is OK regardless of who does it. Like Chretien with the EH 101, Trudeau cynically used the F-35 for political purposes. Unlike Chretien, he did the right thing in the end. I have no problem with him having to eat crow as it is well deserved but at least this has finally been settled.
  11. And yet 16 countries have gone with the F-35, including Sweden's closest neighbours, Norway, Finland and Denmark. The Gripen has had only two major purchases, Brazil and South Africa.
  12. You still have to be a player and we have alliances to maintain. You can't expect others to risk their necks to defend you if you aren't willing to defend yourself.
  13. Because the Democrats no longer hold the House, they can't make legislation but the Senate and President can sure as hell stop it. A presidential veto requires a 2/3 majority to be overturned. The Republicans do not have a 2/3 majority.
  14. Like I said, first priority is going after Biden. As far as legislation goes, Democrats still control the Senate and there is the presidential veto.
  15. You keep making excuses for Jan 6 and maintain the rioters were somehow victims. Trump knew exactly what he was doing.d Your pictures mean nothing without context and AR-15's are not fully automatic.
  16. Automatic weapons my ass. Does your whataboutism mean you actually approve of BLM did? I don't know how you can approve of one thing and not the other as well.
  17. It wasn't illegal at all but nor is it reasonable. When you have administrations trying to ram things through before they lose control of the House, it is bound to happen regardless who is in power.
  18. I can grasp it but I don't just assume it. This does need to be looked into. The administration was trying to get as much stuff through before the Dems lost control of the House and the Jan, 6 Committee was trying to get its report released before a Rep House choked it off. It is not hard to imagine that short cuts were taken and this is a result.
  19. This could easily be a case of negligence but the people affected are entitled to an explanation.
  20. Only in Amurica could a first grader get his hands on a loaded firearm. But yall need more guns to protect yourself from armed first graders.
  21. Sure many have personal political affiliations but we have no idea what they are. Nor do we have any idea of their motivations or even whether they had any.
  22. That's what I said, their priority will be going after the Biden's.
  23. And their solution to all of those is to go after the Bidens and keep refighting the election.
