@SchmittNYC @Delta 350 miles at 450mph is like 45 mins of flight time. This will mostly only affect regional flights.
English
As a loyal @Delta customer - this is a really dumbass idea. Delta has a rep as being the one good airline left. And they’re gonna destroy it to save a few bucks.

BREAKING: Delta Air Lines will no longer offer free snacks or drinks on all flights starting May 19th (under 350 miles). Meanwhile, Delta CEO Ed Bastian received $27.1 million in 2024. Consumers lose, every single time.

@FluentInFinance 350 miles is less than an hour. If you can't make it 45 mins without food you need to see a doctor

@Tazerface16 So you rioted, refused orders, and got sprayed? You deserved it

Many of you don't know this, but this is me.

Any of you fuckers who voted for Trump in 2024 have either memory problems, or brain damage.

@MissJilianne I thought you leftists loved paying the government money?

I think it’s disgusting the United States charges $100 per person visiting our country to enter a National Park. Embarrassing too!

@joekent16jan19 @raymonddelauney So long as Israel is in control of US there’s no hope. The Zionists must be removed from spheres of control

The sooner we recognize this hard truth—that there’s no military solution to the conflict with Iran—the better off the United States will be.
Sheer military force cannot reopen the Strait of Hormuz without escalating the war and sucking us into another endless, bloody quagmire that delivers zero benefit to our people.
We can’t get rid of the emboldened government in Tehran, regardless of how many leaders we kill. If we try we will end up with a government or failed state, worse than what we have now.
The inevitable reality is this: we will have to cut a deal with Iran. We can be pragmatic and do it now on our own terms, or we can keep listening to the same neocons and the Israeli government who got us into this mess, only to cut the same deal after we’ve lost even more.
Recognizing that we have hit the point of diminishing returns and pulling out now is not weakness. It is strength—and it’s the right thing to do for the American people.

@JohnTheEyesOfX @joekent16jan19 The girls school that they conveniently put into an IRGC building and surrounded with SAM sites? That one?
English
@joekent16jan19 1. Big mistake to bomb Iran
2. Bigger mistake: that you were nudged by another nation to do so.
3. As a result of 1&2 you bombed a girls school, lost all respect globally, are in a quagmire when you were elected to stop ‘endless wars’, wreaking havoc on the entire globe!

When will J6'ers get their apologies?
Collin Rugg@CollinRugg
JUST IN: Judge Zia Faruqui has *apologized* to Cole Allen, the man who is accused of trying to kill President Trump, for how he has been treated in jail. Fox News' Larry Kudlow was heard ripping the judge on Fox. "The judge apologized to this guy? ... [He would've] shot at the President and we're apologizing to this guy?" These judges are absolutely insane and belong in prison.
English
@tjm585 True. But he counter argument to that is going to be "what relevant experience did he have to begin with?" which is valid because Hegseth never did staff tours or anything
English
It's a stupid argument anyway.
The job of SECDEF is not one where small unit tactics (even the elite-level small unit tactics taught at ranger school) are relevant.
Eric Schwalm@Schwalm5132
Let's do some basic math for a second shall we? A "rough average" of Ranger School slots that are allocated to the National Guard per year is between 300-400 slots. Let's take the high number of 400 and divide it by 50 states (We're not adding in any additional territories that also have NG units). 400/50 = 8 Ranger school slots/state/year. (For reference, Minnesota has between 11-13,000 soldiers) This means SECWAR had to be one of the EIGHT selected from his state to be allowed to go to Ranger School. Those of us who have served in the military know how specialty schools, with miniscule slots, are allocated among the troops, but I won't open that can of worms. Dispense with the whole "Pete didn't have a Ranger Tab" nonsense because he probably had a better chance of winning the lottery versus getting one of the big eight slots allocated to his state. (8 slots => 13,000 troops) Finding a NG Officer with a Ranger Tab (that he did not earn while active) is a rarity. Pete's lack of a Ranger Tab in the NG is the norm not the exception.

@AlexLuck9 @Lazarus_Navy You know what we should do? Scapegoat the aviators and put 1 more SWO on these ships and pretend that'll fix it!
English
@Lazarus_Navy Its a good thing as long as you can balance maintenance vs operational workloads. Its not clear to me USN is presently heading in the right direction in this regard.
Theres also the fact that vessel lifespans are finite, and again, see above.
English
Well, that’s how it works. Just like a car, after long mileage a warship needs service after a long deployment. Actually a good thing.

Daily degradation. The United States has 15 warships in the Middle East: three aircraft carriers, nine destroyers, and three littoral combat ships, with more on the way. The number of attack and ballistic missile submarines deployed to the area is unknown, but I can assure you that, after this campaign, this fleet will be available for nothing but dry dock for repairs. ALL OF THEM.
English
That's why we have nearly a dozen of them. Not very bright are you?

@JonSmit79172471 @infantrydort He was an active duty 3 star at the time. His "opinion" is limited to "we're an apolitical organization and we need to let the justice system handle this issue. Please refrain from discussing it at work and do not engage in any violent activities."

@infantrydort Conflating having an opinion about a major current event and someone like you literally getting paid to tweet all day about partisan points for this administration are two very different things
English
Mike Kirkpatrick@KirkpatrickMike
@infantrydort @CynicalPublius Publicly cheerleading political appointees on social media, is not ‘depoliticization’, it’s partisan pandering in uniform. Professional Os advise privately, execute lawfully, and stay above public political theater. Oath is to the Constitution,not being the boss’s online hype man

@Kurt_Steiner Whatever happens, the Europeans deserve to be conquered and subjegated. We've had to save them from themselves too many times and now they wanna be snarky and look down their noses at us. Goodbye

I wonder what kind of halo effect American bases in Europe have for local economies...
Fox News@FoxNews
REPORTER: "Why is the US removing troops from Germany?" PRESIDENT TRUMP: "We're going to cut way down, and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000."
English
Well, as a European, I can say that war-criminal, hierarchical mafia countries like the U.S. that extort, coerce, and blackmail other nations and that destroy European infrastructure (Nord Stream) are not exactly my cup of tea. You can always move your troops to Israel. Between thugs and war criminals, I'm sure you'll find a more profound understanding. Birds of a feather flock together.

The United States is and will remain Germany‘s most important partner in the North Atlantic Alliance. We share a common goal: Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.

Swampy GOP senators heading to retirement are the worst because finally get to drop the mask and let the GOP base know how much they’ve always hated them while auditioning for a role in The System once they’re free.

Tapper: "Do you think posting 8647 is a crime?" Sen. Thom Tillis: "No…It makes no sense to me…I used to work in the restaurant industry and I think 86 has its roots as a cook…I can't find any evidence where 86 is used as a call for violence."

If you can throw mid 80s in the strike zone, you’re going to make every varsity high school team in the US and you don’t have to ever travel further than 30min to learn how to do that.
Jason Helmes@anymanfitness
Bad news, dude: If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school. Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from. Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.
