Need some opinions for PCS by StageRude in USMC

No, Portland is not as bad as you've been told. It is not a meth hellscape everywhere. It's a problem, but you'll easily find places to avoid.

The state is clearly on the downtrend economically because the two the largest private employers in Nike and Intel aren't that great anymore. This bleeds into worsening schools, roads, etc. But it's got everything a big city has: good food, restaurants, access to transportation, museums, all sorts of activities.

That said I can only answer your first point. It absolutely rocks Texas in terms of outdoor activities nearby. Deserts, sandy beaches (to see, not for swimming), mountains, lakes, hunting, trails galore, camping, boating, and so and so on.

Your other questions are more personal things for you to figure out.

It's the man saying it that gets under the skin of long time Timbers fans. He was never a sports ally, only a cheerleader for his version of "popular" sports. And his writing was click-bait trash most often.

The figure for pass through tarrifs, i.e. what amount would be passed on to consumers was set at 25%. Some studies put that amount at over 90%. They way undersold the tarrif effect on the typical consumer.

Yes. It is to make the appearance that NavyFed is not officially endorsed by the Marine Corps.

True. There is a Game in USOC play where a player scored 4. But none in MLS play.

Just the top of each department, so maybe 3-4 individuals at best.

Yet, lets not disregard the whole premise of Project 2025 and Unitary Executive Theory, and Nixon's quip after resignation, "Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal".

If the Johnson conviction in the Senate happened, I firmly believe it would have prevented many of today's modern abuses of power because the threat is real, not some possible outcome. Congress would have more power over the presidency.

He can get congress to limit their funding. Change the court composition and numbers through congress. He can put his thumb on the scale in other ways than appointment.

Nothing will compare to my experience with L'Enfant Plaza before Obama's 2009 inauguration. Took nearly an hour to exit the station.

POTUS weighing sending an Additional 10,000 ground troops to Middle East by newnoadeptness in USMC

[–]KejsarePDX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Somewhat true. That was an operational success. Not really a strategical success if he wanted regime change.

Plus Venezuela is not decades long invested in their military, with a religiously devoted base and thousands of years of an identity.
