my buddy is a doctor in the Navy and the amount of money spent on him beyond the performance of his actual job is nuts
For some reason this discussion reminded me of the 80s sci-fi movie The Last Starfighter, where a teen who is a champion at some 80s arcade video game gets recruited by good guy aliens to be a starfighter and save the galaxy from an invasion of alien bad guys. Not a bad flick back in the day. Anyway, sorry for the digression, carry on.
In the 80s military recruiters called our house constantly trying to recruit my brother and I. If you showed one iota of interest they ramped up for a few weeks.
In our school it wasnt even an option. They just had everyone take it. That was in 2000
same, minus the year. I remember the Army sent me a Mach 3 razor and can of shaving cream on my 18th bday. "Now that you're a man, here is a tool you will need, but we can provide more tools for you" or something along those lines.
So how would Trump actually ban Tik Tok?
From what I understand, the most they could do is force a sale to an American group through the Council on Foreign Investment. They did that with grinder, but there was a strong case that there were national security implications if someone was blackmailed through their Grindr data. Not sure that case is there with TikTok
It was not clear Saturday how the deal would involve Microsoft, or whether it would stave off a ban, but Reuters reported that Microsoft would be in charge of protecting US user data, and that the plan would allow another American company to take over TikTok in the US.
Democrats love to talk that progressive shit and then vote against progressive bills. It's just a huge fucking coincidence that none of their bullshit soundbites ever turn into actual policy because either it's not the right time to take a stand, or the proposal isn't realistic. Waiting for a Democrat to support progressive policy is like waiting for Lucy to let you kick the football. I'll wait the rest of my life for a Democrat to say "ok, this election isn't very important, go ahead and vote your conscience." Their whole fucking grift depends on perpetually escalating the stakes. The apocalypse could strike and we'd still be scared to raise middle class taxes. It's Hellworld.
Joseph Patrick Kennedy III, worth $30,000,000+, against decriminalizing marijuana (in a state it’s legal), against universal health care, against Green New Deal, running on a Kennedy name against one of the most popular progressive Senators in America solely on his own name, tweets about how “Washington is out of touch”
