Sometimes I post about music you probably haven't heard. Hanging out, learning things; mostly history, military and politics. Always up for a cheeseburger or a taco. Making it OK to wear sunglasses in a pickup again. Retired Marine airplane guy.

Wait a minute. I thought we were paying them with food and a place to sit?

Glad you made it.

Alright everybody, listen up to @combatcavscout.bsky.social the Gentleman from the Cavalry.

They trained me too. Nothing like a tour in NC or Oki in the barracks to get your liver into fighting form.

That's about what I was thinking. So yeah, we all need to be concerned about how much we're gonna have to drink.

I'm guessing, but if I'm right we need to all be scared.

If I had to guess, and I do, it would be someone trying to school @dankaszeta.bsky.social on some kind of tear gas/chemical weapon topic. It never stops, I'm amazed at his patience. If that's it, we'll all be drunk forever.

Nearly every vote I have cast in the past 35 years has been for holding the line against our slide into inhumane atrocity.

I am not voting *for* candidates to embody my every policy preference.

They don't exist.

I am voting *against* this.

This is akin to highwaymen robbing stagecoaches - Boot Hungary out of the EU!

Hey, I was thinking about you. Everything ok? Are you recovering from the thing? I'm not sure what it was, but there was a thing.

Democratic voters want FIGHTERS. More than anything. Candidates who will FIGHT against what Trump & my former party are doing to the country. James Talarico & Jasmine Crockett are both FIGHTERS. Different styles sure, but both are FIGHTERS. And BOTH are FIGHTERS the Democratic Party needs. To win.

I've been hearing a lot of reports about confusion related to polling locations in Dallas County. Some have told me that they looked up their polling location in advance, only to arrive and be told they can't vote there.

A failed desert rescue attempt ends carter's presidency. 241 marines killed in beruit and reagan gets re-elected. Dont ever underestimate the stupidy of the American electorate. Dont ever think you know how the next 2 elections will turn out.

I've been to Hawaii, but I haven't spent a lot of time there. My understanding is there is a large Okinawan presence, so, that would make sense. And Bill as pres eating donuts, yeah, that makes sense.
