Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

So not a carrier then, it's a loser.

He (Trump) ruled out foul play and said there was “nothing to hide.”

Why is it when he says things like that it instantly feels suspicious?

Before you stand two doors, one leads to safety and the other to certain death. Guarding them are two people. You may ask only one question, but beware! One always tells the truth, and the other is Trump.

No questions needed, all you'd need to do is a quick sniff test... He'll be the one that smells like pure shit.

I'm starting to feel that this is the Navy's way of upgrading their hardware.

Just toss the old stuff into the ocean ... ask for new replacements.

Easy peesy ... out with the old, in with the new.

I'm not gonna defend this, but the pilots who lose an aircraft get the whole incident investigated. They may not fly again if they suffered a back injury or made a mistake.

Regardless, its drone time. Drones can be faster and more Agile, perhaps both at the same time. The problem has always been having a person inside the thing. Now, put the pilot down on the ground and replace him or her or them with an AI assisted remote control and you've got a new way to defeat the enemy.....housing costs. Something like that. What do I know.
