Quote:"The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death," Trump . "Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!"

I'm sure you agree with me when I write that all of us played a part in, if not being valorous, making that valor possible. My dumb ass was in the rear with the gear where it belonged, but I supported well over a thousand combat sorties at the risk of my own life even though I've never seen combat. No doubt you've done the same.
He's a coward who wouldn't make a pimple on your ass.
I was also behind the lines in communications. First time I encountered a computer was in AIT. Of course, it only did one thing and that was talk to like computers, but we were set for combat situations...we weren't to fight but to keep people informed...long before you could loop in the wrong people in group chats.
While the Veterans/victory thing chaps my ass, the idea of spending millions for troops and choppers for someone who deserves a bounce house and a nap, at best, rankles my nerves.
I remember working on a FRITTER II. The only thing it could do was send and receive emails. It was the size of an arcade game.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

The only time we firefighters used computers was for writing after-action reports and organizing our alarm-room. We had the plans of the bigger buildings on base in our data base, so if there was an emergency, the alarm-room could pull up the building plan on a screen and then relay instructions via radio.
I think the Chief had email. I know he had one of those really big IBM 286s.

Labour parties in both Canada and Australia won recent elections, when conservative parties were looking strong. Trump has the lowest approval rating (at 100 days) of any US president in the last 80 years.
I may or may not be right, but I choose to see this as a glimmer of hope that Western democracies are starting to reject Trumpism.

The Canadians voted for the Liberal party rather than Labour, but the Conservatives got their arses handed to them either way.
