LOL! Yeah you just turn a blind eye to his idiot son being on the board of a corrupt company in a corrupt country, who has no qualifications to be there.
How is going through the proper legal processes, instead of a quid pro quo "turning a blind eye"? As it turns out, the GQP investigated this wholeheartedly, and even got the "corrupt FBI" involved enough to lie. That "blind eye".

What does “all our information” consist of? Is it more than what the government has had all along? Or is it exactly the same information the government has had all along?
How would they get more information from the government, than the government already has? Whatever is done is done, and we'll have to wait(forever) for the courts to get around to adjudicate this. The pisser is that if found out to be illegal, the penalty is "woops".

Glad you're so sure.

Giving away money is controlling the purse, which isn't his job. Looking into a payment system isn't controlling the purse.
And you're paranoid about being spied on by Musk? Because he hasn't had the ability all along to do it?
As we speak, people are cheering to lock up the people who were "spying". That's fine as long as they get all of them, including those in the current administration, before they get pardoned. Bottom line it's unconstitutional, and illegal. We're in a fine mess, no matter how much some people want to believe this is 'all for the better'.

They'll have to get in line behind those who were fired for refusing the COVID vaccines.
Yeah, that's going to cost us a ton, too.

What level of tariffs would it take to bring production of cheap consumer goods back to America? China has a very large economy, so the consumers would have to face A LOT of "pain" waiting for it to happen. Likely years, and then how do you produce those goods in America, at a price that's friendly to US consumers? There's a reason we let them make those things for us. Targeted tariffs, on certain industries, might be effective. Blanket tariffs are a TERRIBLE idea.

No. That's what Trump was doing. If it involved a corrupt political rival, so be it.
Which corruption of Biden's is it you speak? You're saying that a president should be able to force other countries to open, and make public, investigations based on if he feels there may be corruption as a quid pro quo? You don't see any abuse potential there? You really don't think that the FBI doesn't already have their own channels?? I get it you guys buy every bs narrative that comes your way, but wake up Doc.

"but her emails". The OPM order was sent through an "unknown" server.
Musk DOGE on US treasury: They also sought access to the underlying code, the person said — alarming some Treasury staff, because the operation of this infrastructure is tightly controlled due to its critical position in the US financial system. It’s unclear whether the duo have obtained direct access to the code and why they would want it, according to people familiar with the situation.
Congress controls the purse, so how can the executive branch appoint a "special employee" to screw with the payment system? I get that the Treasury is part of the executive branch, but that doesn't mean the president can do anything he wants at any department. If this was true, then Biden would have pushed through student loan debt. Sure, the courts can call this illegal after the fact, though the damage is already done, and the short-sighted SCOTUS says you can't prosecute this "official action" anyways. What a mess. At the end of the day, Elon has all our information, and apparently, no one cares about being "spied on" anymore.

No, people were saying that Biden withheld funds from Ukraine unless/until they fired a prosecutor looking into Burisma after Trump got impeached for withholding funds from Ukraine until he was sure they weren't as corrupt as before. Funny how after several years...
You think it's unusual that the USA may have demands on countries before they receive funding? They even do that with Israel. trump was accused of, and impeached for withholding funds, concurrent with an investigation of a political rival of his.

Only to a dishonest person is a statement of fact, "framing". As for the second part, you do have a point since I doubt there is anything to stop Trump from doing exactly what Biden has done when he was vice president and president.
In your statement of "fact", they in fact wanted Shokin dismissed for NOT thoroughly enough probing corruption. You may not agree with that, but it was the official policy.
6 hours ago, aristocrat said:the difference here would be the quid pro quo. is trump looking for something in return? or is she just shutting off the cash? we call agree sending money for food is a valuable cause. a lot of the rest of the stuff just looks it came out of the minds of snl writers. we're sending money to someone to write a comic book! you'd think some random celebrity interested in promoting the arts would just invest in that right?
If he decides what does/doesn't get spent, then he certainly can be wide open to the nefarious action, that Biden was accused of. The "quid pro quo" you're accusing Biden of was actually the US policy.

Are you talking about when Biden got the guy investigating his son fired?
If you want to frame it in a completely incorrect way, then yes that guy, Shokin. The point being, what's stopping trump from doing exactly what everyone was in horror that Biden supposedly did, except with every penny that leaves the country.

All the maggats were saying Biden was corrupt withholding money for Ukraine, but now trump can withhold money from anyone he wants, and it's "what he campaigned on". LOLZ

Nobody even a little worried about why Kash got hundreds of thousands of dollars from his truth social trust? Those last 3 words couldn't be any more contradictory. I'll bet the people wondering about Biden's checks for years won't care.

This random blue check on Twitter went out and surveyed every single business in Canada and came up with a MAGA talking point? Sounds good, Tommy!This is how the "common sense" idiots get their 'news'.

I'm going to appeal to the "common sense" people here. When was the last plane crash, and was it due to DEI hiring? What are some good examples of plane crashes caused by DEI? Has the president or Fox provided any, or is it just baseless nonsense that is trying to appeal to "common sense".

That will lead to some nice inflation and will strengthen the dollar.
You think hurting the Canadian dollar will boost our economy in a meaningful way? I think(no I know) you're just making stuff up. What possibly could go wrong with trying to harm the country's, that we share our longest border with, economy have on us? If only we had a recent example. Clown.

You seem to be speaking with authority with the “for those that don’t know” bit. For those inclined to be overly dramatic let’s not overstate the situation re: nuclear disaster:
According to the White House website, continuity of government refers to the plan in place to keep the government up and running in case of a major catastrophe or attack on Washington, D.C. As a part of the national continuity plan, every federal government agency is required to have a strategy for a mass evacuation and relocation from the national capital region.
Well, the bunker is built for nuclear attack, but it's not a requirement for its use.

There are specific mission requirements that involve currency, not total hours.
As I pointed out, you could have hundreds of carrier landings in your logbook, but if you haven't done so, and day is different than night, in a certain time, you are not qualified.
Now I'm seeing it was a training/practice flight. Interestingly, a "continuity of government" mission. Strangely enough, trump did not know what this meant. For those that don't know, it's a protocol for nuclear disaster.

Are you under the impression that the bad orange man gives two sh*ts about Washington republicans? I suspect he’s not overly concerned with what anyone has done on behalf of either party.
As long as they're useful idiots, he's fine with them.

I get it and apologize for being unclear.
You opined that they were "doing night flights all the time," and questioned that if so, why they might need this currency requirement.
I stated that those requirements are per individual.
A squadron may do things all the time, but there may be a need to get a person a certain sortie to satisfy their individual requirement.
Happens all the time.
The issue, in my view, will come down to this, and I have no doubt that I will regret this.
The transportation of political figures via helicopter in this congested airspace is idiotic, unnecessary and ridiculously expensive.
That may well be what this is ultimately about, as there is no military defense benefit to operating a helicopter unit in that area.
It is pointless and intrusive, and the capability isn't worth it.
IIRC they said 1 pilot had like 1000 hours, and the other like 500. Seems like a ton to me, so an "annual required evaluation" in the flight path of an airport, doesn't seem all that necessary.

How anyone - including my fellow democrats on here - could be against deporting people who are here illegally AND committed a felony is beyond me.
Deporting law abiding (and I understand most republicans argue - technically correctly - that they aren’t law abiding by the simple fact of being here) immigrants will do great harm to the economy. I agree with that.
But fighting the rounding up of dangerous felons? When you take a stand against everything trump does, you sound just as foolish as “ultra MAGAs” who conversely defend everything he says.
Now, trying to throw away the 14th amendment? That’s the special kind of stupid I expect from Trump. And also re-opens the can of worms that amendments are open to change (which we know they are) and ruins one of the main talking points of the gun nuts and “shall not be infringed” crowd. Because it seemingly just takes one presidential signature to infringe the bejesus out of those rights.
They will throw their rights on his steps.

For starters, Vancouver is a hot spot for Chinese drug cartels. And banks like TD and Casinos launder vast sums of money.
So Canada is going to figure out how to stop the drugs, that we couldn't stop over the last 50 years, because tariffs? C'mon man!! Canada is NOT going to kick Cornpop out of Vancouver, and make the USA drug free. Those banks donated a heck of a lot more to both parties than you, so don't think your government is ever going to screw them to make you happy.

What you stated was that "they were doing many night flights all the time..."
These are individual quals, so there is no info on whether or not this particular person needed an qual.
The rest of your post indicates a lack of knowledge.
No harm there, but I'm not going to spend more time on transponders or TCAS, when they are turned on and off and the algorithms involved.
Not hard to do, but not worth my time as it will all come out eventually.
I was asking a question, and trying to clarify what you were saying, because yes I do lack any knowledge on what that may mean. To the average Joe, it seems that helo was not in the right place at all. If they really run helo's through that flight path like that all the time, then this was inevitable. I did look up currency requirements, but not sure how that applies if this wasn't a training flight.

I can't tell you exactly what it is, because I have not breached the system myself, but this is the only point that matters:
She added, "It could also give them access to millions of Americans' personal and financial information that is protected by law."
Legally? If you're going to borrow my lawnmower, I'm not going to ask you why. if you ask for the treasury and OPM data, I'm asking why.
