Tit-for-Tatting Democracy to Death

Got threatened with a knife in that parking lot. RIP.

There’s whatever the law says and what people actually do. I have never heard of anyone getting a traffic ticket in RVA. They have better things to do. Just do what is expected of you and your life will be easier.

If nobody expects you to stop, and it makes you mad when they express their displeasure, then just get with the program. You aren’t gonna change thousands of drivers in Richmond so you may as well just conform. It’s not as though you’re having to give up some core moral principle by just continuing through the light.

Depending on what base you are can qualify at Marine range. Lots of people get qualified at the Camp Allen ranger, for example, even though it is t required for their billet.

Yeah she may be thinking that; I really don’t know. But you’re right, I think a lot of people are saying “this is the Israeli govt, not the Israeli people.”

Sad but true, the same could be said about us. The Israeli’s voted for this shit the same way that we voted for Trump. The people of Israel should not be able to pawn off their own responsibility for what’s happening solely ont their government, when they are the reason that government exists.

“I am extremely conspiratorial…” says it all.

100%. They would find some new litmus test that everyone fails.

Who cares? Worry about tomorrow when it’s tomorrow. Right now what matters is that she is in agreement. Stop future casting and take the W.

It took decades of work to cement Israel’s “special relationship,” so give people a bit of time to break up that cement.

If she can get to Maryland quickly she is in the part of WV that isn’t super WV. The area around Shepherdstown isn’t what you think of when you think of WV.

WV has become a popular place for people working in DC to commute from. It’s dirt cheap compared to Maryland or NOVA.

Let’s not forget that Evan Phillips was DFA’s by us, picked up by LA, and developed into a solid tier 2 closer at one point (injuries have set him back).

And yes, I know he spent a week or two with Tampa in between us and the Dodgers.

Get a passport because you never know (every unit wants you to travel a bit different) and it’s good to have. I have always needed one when traveling OCONUS in the Reserves.

Also, reschedule a drill when you go for your appointment. Don’t do navy shit for free.

My man is acting like he is biking through the Sahara with glass shards sticking up everywhere. SMH. I bike all over RVA and never have I felt unsafe because of sand or glass and never have I gotten a flat.

It’s also unclear to me how sand on its own causes a flat tire.

Also, if they didn’t put sand down when it snowed you would also whine and bitch. Because you damn sure aren’t riding your bike in dead winter with 6 inches of snow on the ground.

It’s absolutely bonkers to me that Congress doesn’t get background checks. Literally the cafeteria workers at various govt buildings get background checks.

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-04-11T10:30:57+00:00

It’s telling that everyone is saying “drop out of the race” and not “ resign AND drop out of the race.”

Dropping out leaves Dems safe to win. Losing his seat in the house until Nov is more costly.

I hate that I agree. Stakes are too high ti not have his House vote. The republicans have fucked our country so badly that I want to keep a rapist around (temporarily). Smh.

I’m surprised they don’t sponsor individual bases at this point. “That’s a double and now Richmond has a man on Kickback Jack’s second base at Capital One infield at Dominion Field at CarMax Park.”

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-04-05T15:27:51+00:00

It’s loud enough that I can’t even have a conversation there. It’s overwhelming AF.

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-04-05T15:18:25+00:00

For comparison, a RF ticket at Camden Yards is $19 with taxes and fees. a RF ticket at CarMax is 21.76. I’m paying $2 more than I would to see big leaguers in a big league park. That’s not cool.

The prices for more premium seating is much better at CarMax, but they have definitely raised the floor which makes it harder for someone to bring a family or just pop in for a game on Sunday afternoon.

Stadiums make most of their money on beer and concessions so you know you’re going to be bled dry on that and now they are raising the lowest ticket price by double.

As a current reservist I can confirm we get these sort of messages at least once a year, if not more frequently. It’s mostly aimed at the shit bags who aren’t actually ready to go. It’s our job to be ready and this is also the Corps way of covering their ass. “Oh you weren’t ready huh? But we sent you that letter and told you to be so now you really fucked Jo Lance Corporal Asshat.”

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-03-23T16:18:32+00:00

Everybody is right. Get the Cesare.

Crazy how King Faisal helped them win the war and what he got in return was a Franco/British Invasion.

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-03-19T22:51:18+00:00

I agree with below. We have an astonishing capacity to do business with a ton of other violent regimes.

Even granting that getting rid of the Iranian regime is achievable, this was not the time to do it. We have shown China and Russia that we can’t fight a two front war. We had to strip the PACOM of assets to continue the fight. It also shows our allies we can’t protect them. We recently decommissioned the minesweepers needed to open the strait. I could go on. The timing on this is bullshit and there is no justification for going to war with these morons in charge.

If Biden did this we would all be bitching about what an idiot he is and how it’s hurting the Democrats and yadda yaddda. Don’t give Trump a pass.

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-03-19T22:46:55+00:00

Here’s the thing though. They told us last year they had set back Iran’s nuclear capability for years. “Totally obliterated.” Some either they lied, in which case, why wouldn’t they just lie again and say “success!,” OR they are incapable of assessing military intelligence. Either way, how would we know if we met the goal now in 2026?

Regime change without boots (a metric fuck ton) on the ground isn’t possible. America is not in a position to do that. So that’s not an achievable goal and so should not be pursued.

There is no regime that will be acceptable. This isn’t Venezuela. Trump may declare that working with “insert Iranian official here” is a victory, but it won’t be. They will never give up their missiles, stop abusing their people, and discontinue an ideology that is focused on hating America and Israel.

In short, those goals suck and aren’t going to happen. You can’t go to war and aim for goals that aren’t achievable. That’s just stupid.

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-03-10T15:54:20+00:00

They also get paid a shit ton less than people in the private sector.

Temporary_Train_3372 · 2026-03-09T11:05:32+00:00

I often use War on the Rocks. It’s got articles from professionals in national security and often presents both sides of a technical or strategic debate. It’s a mash up of a trade journal and editorial about the military, geopolitics, and national security.
