@TheAngry53586 I thought she was supposed to have her sewage system redone anyways. If correct she was gonna be in dry dock for a bit anyways. They’d be able to work on both simultaneously maybe?

In short, if this is genuine, a proper pot mess of an Incident. But they did pull things back at the end. And nobody died. But barring some spectacular temporary repair work she’s off the board for a while pending full structural survey of affected areas and assessment of damage

Ok this is interesting. Usual caveats apply. First as we discussed in the space, the fire DID spread outside the confines of the laundry, which means containment (stopping spread by radiation/ convection/ conduction) failed badly /1

Crew compartments and laundry facility inside the aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford are destroyed, leaked videos show. The laundry is completely burned out as are numerous racks. The fire was far more serious than reported by DoD

The PC officer is reporting it as PMC. OR Rate can’t take that kind of hit this month. Gotta keep the rate up. Once we change over at the 15th it’ll be NMCS so we can get back some time.

Photos have surfaced showing extensive damage to US Air Force E-3 Sentry #AE11EA 81-0005 following the drone and missile attack at Prince Sultan Air Base yesterday that also damaged several KC-135s.

Seeing this take a fair bit regarding the lost E-3.
I’m not sure people are quite realising that these things are literal gold dust. They cannot be replaced, they’re incredibly unreliable as it is, and they’re mission critical.
To lose a single E-3 is a big problem.

Right wing accounts are DESPERATELY tweeting about how the No Kings protests are “fake” “NGOs” “communists”
Anything to distract from the FACT that 7 million Americans gave up their Saturday to protest the shit show of the last year
Cry harder 😂 😂
Brian Allen@allenanalysis
Today’s final count: 7 million Americans. 3,000 cities. Every state. Philadelphia. Atlanta. Dallas. St. Paul. DC. San Francisco. 500,000 in London. Tel Aviv in the streets. A human banner on the Pacific Ocean spelling out: TRUMP MUST GO NOW. One of the largest single-day demonstrations in American history. The founders settled the kings question in 1776. America settled it again today. Never stop connecting the dots.

@GregoryEugene @Bidenhasfailedu @TukiFromKL That’s not an incorrect legal opinion. That is the actual intention of the amendment as seen by writing from Congress at the time.

@Bidenhasfailedu @TukiFromKL You’re not a lawyer so you probably shouldn’t offer incorrect legal opinions.

🚨 Do you understand what SCOTUS is about to decide?
in 1857, the Supreme Court ruled that Black Americans... even those born free on American soil.. could never be citizens.. it was called the Dred Scott decision.. one of the most shameful rulings in legal history..
it took a Civil War and 360,000 Union deaths to fix it..
in 1868, Congress passed the 14th Amendment.. "all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens".. no exceptions.. no asterisks.. they wrote it that way on purpose.. so no government could ever again decide who counts as American on this soil..
it has stood for 156 years..
Trump signed an executive order trying to end it..
not a constitutional amendment.. not an act of Congress.. an executive order..
and SCOTUS is about to decide if that's allowed..
here's what nobody's saying out loud..
this isn't about immigration..
if a president can override the 14th Amendment with an executive order.. there is no amendment a president cannot override with an executive order..
one executive order just did what the Confederacy couldn't.

@shipwreckedcrew They could just do a consent vote for it at 3 in the morning with a couple of rep senators. They set precedent last night with the tsa bill

There aren't 51 Senate votes for it.

@TheBuddyCSM Gotta close you eyes sar major. If you can’t see the lights…… the lights can’t see you.
English
Sometimes when I’m in my office, the lights turn off because I haven’t really moved in a bit.
When that happens, I try to move as stealthily as possible out the door so as not to trigger the motion detector and turn the lights back on.
I’ve told myself that if I can “escape” my office, I will just leave for the day.
Three attempts so far today.
I’ve been killed by the lights every time.

@TheIntelFrog Oif/oef 1 ended in 2004. I deployed for oif 2 in 04. And yes ramstein has a weekly med shuttle state side.
English
@ParmeleeSeth OIF ended in 2011 and OEF in 2014. Flights since the end of major combat operations happened, but nowhere close to a weekly basis.
English
US Air Force C-17A Globemaster III #AE10C0 as RCH166 is at least the 5th medevac from Ramstein AB, Germany to JB Andrews since the beginning of Operation EPIC FURY. This trip met 1 patient evacuation vehicle and 1 medical ambulance bus that departed Andrews for Walter Reed with emergency lights active.

Don't listen to the spin coming from Senate Republicans. Democrats got everything they wanted. American voters got screwed. There was a reason why John Thune scheduled the vote while the nation was asleep - so they could skip town before voters woke up and discovered what they had done. And here's the real kick in the pants - Republican senators left for yet another vacation without doing anything about the Save America Act. There's no polite way to say this - but Senate Republicans are sabotaging the midterm elections and President Trump's agenda.

@ParmeleeSeth There haven't been normal weekly flights from Ramstein since OEF 1/OIF.

@DaHighestLife @pdb5906tsw @reddit_lies Again. Those are denying restrictions. There is no amendment that says the right to vote shall not be infringed. Compare the bill of rights to the amendments that discuss voting rights. Look at the wording.
English
@DaHighestLife @pdb5906tsw @reddit_lies What amendment says something to the affect of a citizens right to vote can not be infringed or Congress may make no law. The constitution lays down rules on disenfranchisement. They can pass a law today that would be legal stating every citizen named Steve can not vote.
English
@pdb5906tsw @reddit_lies False, in the USA voting is a right of all citizens.

@DavidFlagg20 @SenWarren When stocks lose value does the government pay us for that unrealized loss as well?
English
You've become tiresome. Yes, we do actually need to start taxing the super wealthy. Got to to do something about the tens of trillions in unrealized capital gains. That's a problem. A problem that could solve the federal deficit.
Let me summarize for anyone who doesn't know how it works:
Billionaire has a fortune in their stock portfolio. That's where the billions live. Now as long as they don't sell these stocks, they are considered unrealized capital gains. So our friend, the billionaire, can go to the bank and offer stock as collateral. "I want to borrow five million... actually, make it twenty. And I want a 2% interest rate." And they get it. That's how it works.
There's no "realized gain" to tax. The loans don't get taxed. They actually pay off the loans with the loans, rinse and repeat.
And you know what? This is how Congress likes it. These are the people that fund their campaigns. No chance they're going to vote to actually tax the wealthy. What they'll do is increase taxes on the middle and working class. It is what they've been doing for decades.
So, Senator, your acting skills aren't exactly impressive. Most of us know this isn't going to get through Congress. And it really doesn't matter which of the two corporate parties is "in charge". We know who is really in charge. It isn't you. It isn't even the President. It's the people who's gains are rarely technically "realized".
So... 🙄

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.
