RebMasel did a YT podcast on just this topic. It’s as horrific as it sounds.

I wonder what the Catholic Trumpers here in Louisiana will think of her saying that?

I’m gonna have to ask some.

Pretty sure that was first implemented as a training thing for either fighter pilots or astronauts to learn to deal with disorienting movements.

It has since become a form or entertainment at carnivals and the like.

Well I’m glad they’re confirming it again, but here in Louisiana we’ve known this for decades.

Why does that title sound like it’s out of a 1940’s war reel?

Well that’s a hysterically minuscule number.

Fire sale, insider trading, stock manipulation, price manipulation… pick a scam/con. It’s at least one of them.

As an older American from the deep south, it’s just a holdover from cheap high calorie/high carb foods to start the day back when America was mostly agrarian.

Then when the 50s rolled around it got combined with nutrition concepts of a “balanced breakfast” by cereal marketing firms and romanticized to sell even cheaper products to children/parents; sugared cereal.

For me, breakfast is bacon, eggs and biscuits or toast. And maybe grits if I’m feeling like it. I like hash browns but I don’t like making them.

It’s just leftover marketing. Eat what makes you happy.

Cons: Expensive vehicles means we still don’t have Medicare for All.

Cons:

It HAS to be made out of prohibitively expensive and difficult to acquire titanium.

Ok, buddy, if you say so.

That’s like other drug dealers cheering the biggest drug dealer getting gutted.

You’re not wrong, but post WWII Republicans were more than willing to play along so long as big business got theirs.

IMO, it was when the CRA, the EPA and other “anti-business” initiatives came into existence that “small government” because a buzz word for them.

They made a completely wrong turn when they teamed up with Evangelicals in the 80’s and let them into positions of power in the party in the 90’s culminating in the bat-shit-crazies we have now.

Like I said a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Yea, thwarting DOGE/Muck and Trump feels good, but then end result of them taking down USAID and VOA is actually better for the world and ultimately American citizens.

No more propaganda. No more easy coverups for the CIA influencing and attempting coups.

To answer your question, it’s not.

The Republicans, as proxies for the 1% and Evangelicals, have been trying to break the Federal government at least since Reagan, if not longer.

Again, completely agree.

But like the A10, sometimes tech just passes you by.

And swing wings are like biplanes. Old obsolete tech.

Absolutely. Though I suspect that it’s more they want to create their own specific fascist leaning messaging.

While I agree they look cool, they’re an engineering nightmare and absolutely require titanium to build and that shit is too expensive for very little benefit.

The point of a variable wing was to increase the effective flight envelope and there’s no point now that the same thing can be done with modern avionics and materials.

Sorry.

Sometimes a broken clock can be correct.

VOA is a CIA Imperialist propaganda tool, like USAID, and deserves to be removed. But don’t take my word for it, read the CIA’s own files about it before this administration hides that info as well.

Edit: Downvote all you want. That doesn’t change facts. So if you’re defending the removal of VOA and USAID you’re basically defending American Imperial propganda and the vile tactics of the CIA.

Good luck with those ethical gymnastics.
