And I guess this mofo has a security clearance.

Stop lossed without pay is not a good look.

Damnit, I really hate it when I have to hand it to Rand Paul.

Seems like I’d be politically successful given my complete lack of tattoos, problematic or otherwise.

There is a reason we used to keep the B&C’s looked up in a safe.

Repeat after me: “If a politician won’t draw a line at Nazis, there is no line they won’t cross.”

Incredibly low standards by any measure. Pretty sure my old, hip replaced ass could knock this out the ICE fitness test right now. The real thing to note is all the waivers for current law enforcement. We will not be ending up with the nation’s best for this. Harkens to ‘the surge’ moral waiver days

Ah yes the 1990s 101st LRS company had a rash of these and tattoo inspections for everyone followed.

I think you’ll find most everyone from GenX on down is fine with Clinton going down with this as well. Release the files.

Saying “nice talking with you” to people and meaning it makes everyone’s day better.

So did the Gaza ceasefire last a Scaramucci or a Liz Truss?

Please please please tell me there is dashcam video of this.

Just don’t send the fat ones. Whiskey Pete won’t like that.

This is so weird and creepy and…like citation needed or something you weird old creep.

Hell yeah! The Dropkick Murphys are coming to Austin in February.

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don’t like the vehicle.

Quick dumb question for economist types: if the US gov’t starts moving money around in way for which it was not appropriated and with opaque “authorities”, to pay the military and possibly civilians is it really money? In other words is the government essentially printing bad checks? 1/2

Okay team, what is a good gift for your niece’s husband who just made SSG in the Army? When he made E-5 I got him a nice tan Yeti cooler for the field. During his most recent Middle East deployment I got him an OCP “wooby hoodie” (my woodland one is amazing)

One last Texas Tech game picture. We are ungovernable.

Our seats were good at the Texas Tech. Nice to be reminded that they are basically just kids having fun.

I remain convinced most senior military leaders (that goes from SES types as well) have allowed themselves to become functionally illiterate. PowerPoint has cooked everyone’s brains. Just wait until we start combining it with large language models.

The halftime drone show at Texas Tech was pretty cool.

All right military history nerds, need a rec for a good book on WW2 German U-boat operations in the Gulf Of Mexico.

Hey @tyrellmayfield.bsky.social everything just got better.

Sampler size cherry bomb at the Spoon. Too old for everclear.

Went to visit the Texas Tech Army ROTC department and found this gem from the 90s. RIP Greg Sanders.

Lubbock, we are in you.

Whew boy, the legal and operational scaffolding of this is tenuous at best. TXARNG “deployed” Chicago on Title 10 orders under the NORTHCOM C2 umbrella but operating in support of ICE who has no legal military authority. These kids have been thrust into a very bad position.

I was in Portland a few months ago. Walked all over. Truly enjoyed Powell’s City of Books. Never once felt uncomfortable.

The “edge lord” culture in Austin is so gross. Not the city I used to really love.

First day shooting since my surgery. Broke out the pistol and rifle. Very rusty. And I have a beard so I guess I’m not lethal.

Listen to this. Amazing.

Hey, @tyrellmayfield.bsky.social everything just got better.

Well, I guess Commander Bond *is* getting up in years.

If you’ve ever participated in a “field grade slate” aka a “meat market”, you know exactly who Pete Hegseth is: the guy ultimately nobody really wants. For me, he’s the dude whose individual PT score was always better than mine, but whose actual unit underperformed mine in every other metric. 1/2

Trump at the end of his speech to the senior military leaders.

This is an audition for something else.

Poser.

I finally got cleared after my neck surgery to ease back into Jiu Jitsu.

Last evening, somewhere near Port Aransas TX, was magical.

Actual picture of @danlamothe.bsky.social waiting to hear from his sources after Whiskey Pete’s lethality lecture.

I mean was this guy even branch qualified as a Captain?

A comment in the original post pointed out people were fine with schools shutting down b/c of desegregation but not b/c of a lethal pandemic. Crazy, huh?

Just watch the body language with the audio on mute. This dude ain’t all there either.

Ted Cruz has the face for radio, but alas, not the voice.

Watching every last drop of American soft power evaporate at the UNGA is quite something. Anyway, here’s me on the FDNY fire tug during UNGA 2019. Stupid 2019 me thinking things couldn’t go off the rails much worse.

How about those Red Raiders and it was good to see the Chiefs play well finally.

Yesterday, I saw a dude at the grocery store wearing an "Operation Midnight Hammer" t-shirt. The grift never stops.

This is what I want to be hearing.
