  1. new drinking game! Take a shot every time a politician says "We are a Democracy!" Then impeach them...
  2. I especially liked Lizzy's "We are a Democracy" moment... ^&*%%&* stupid a55 sh1t!
  3. lizzy didn't even make sense there... What would she do about McConnell?
  4. Yup... the entire debate has been mostly pandering to either Hispanics or the green crowd...
  5. Liz with her "we need to make Roe V Wade a law" shows how little she understands the Constitution
  6. They can't... What substance do they have besides #orangemanbad and trying to claim who can give away the most free sh1t?
  7. I find it amazing that IF the Russians DID influence our elections in any way, it was done under Obama's watch yet idiots like Gator/Nadler/Schiiff/Pelosi/Schumer/AOC/Liberal Media blame Trump!
  8. Yup, I was a redshirt and as for how old well, let's just say I'm a well seasoned USS Tarawa LHA-1 maiden West Pac old ? I'm familiar with the Walleye, they've been around forever as air to ground it seems sort of like the Sidewinder and Sparrow are for air to air. Your also correct, we rarely got to see the results of our work, Air shows in Quantico for congress critters for us were great, cause it was all our show. They were there to see big explosions and balls of fire and we loved giving them to them there cause we got to watch too. Anyway, got a couple stories about that and Nap can't post, but both funny and maybe scary over a beer sometime..
  9. I resemble that remark! ???
  10. Marine Corps Aviation Ordnance here so I can address these... There is nothing really to the degrading of ordnance due to take off and landing. I'll say Sherpa is correct however on some of the dumb stuff. I know we don't fly it anymore, but napalm in particular was very dangerous to download back off a plane, and also have to remove the initiator. Nap was really cool, but dangerous for anyone to be around... As for the testing, when your on the ground you have a "weight on wheels" switch that disarms the electrical part of ordnance system. This is for obvious reasons I think, you don't want someone accidentally pushing the wrong button etc... With forward firing ordnance like your cannons for instance, there is still the possibility even slight, of stray voltage from static electricity or something to set something off. Guns, missiles, and rockets if your on base we have a designated arm/dearm area, usually way away from anything else, where your aimed away from anything, except us that is... I was the guy standing in front of all that to let you know what was going on; you bring your bird to where we test for stray voltage, then plug the ordnance in. On the guns we cycled that first one into the chamber. I think obviously these are fired by electrical impulse, not your traditional percussion firing pin. Anyway, point being, if you brought this back, we then had to disarm it, and if your gun was jammed, that made it even more dangerous since we had the clear that jam before letting you head back to the flight line. I never worked aboard a full size carrier since I was Harriers. But we still did the same pretty much with anything we flew off (for me, always rotary carriers) as we did on land regarding all the above, except of course closer quarters and notice your always pointed away from the tower, and the areas your pointed to SHOULD be clear of any support ships too... Sherpa, ever wonder why Ordnance is a bit crazier that everyone else?
  11. Take the damn picture so we can move to first class where we belong!
  12. silly me... I thought a little ebony and ivory could live in perfect harmony...
  13. Gotta love stories with no sources or links to support it... But that is what CNN has become. did you miss my 2 scoops recipe above?
  14. Oh come on! Biden is about done, so we need someone to humor us with Biden type gaffs! AOC seems perfect for the job! Heck, I can't wait until she runs for POTUS!
  15. Yeah, but it's all Trump's fault! All he had to do was pour Trillions into the country and it would have stabilized itself.... for a couple more years.....
  16. Outpost of Freedom? Since when has Gator cared about Freedom?
  17. It won't rile anyone up so why don't you just sit back down.... ? I heard Acosta on the radio on the way home also say he's had many "backroom" (his own term for "off the record") conversations with Sarah and Kellyanne too where he claims they told him #orangemanbad stuff Acosta is the biggest bullsh1t artist (liar) in the WH press corps...
  18. Is it really bad that I've had both? Only difference, my Vega was a '74 but man, that strawberry Boones Farm taste like champagne while sitting in it! ?
  19. Lets see... Are you gay moron? vs Are you gay, moron? Pretty sure you're homophobic...
  20. So now comes a couple questions: How soon in the investigation did Mueller know this? If Kilminik was a US asset, was he also involved in the Trump setup? Under whose direction?
  21. So, after telling Flynn he wouldn't need an attorney present, they use parts of the interview to get a warrant? Doesn't that automatically bring into question any charges against Flynn?
  22. WTF???? Balls need to roll for this! I wouldn't care if it was Obama made the order, you FOLLOW IT!
