That’s a wild stretch of meaning you made up versus the actual words said.

Politicians don’t need to be involved in everything. You’d want politicians involved in your sports too?

“Sure,” he said. “And that’s why I think these decisions should be in the hands of sports leagues and school boards and not politicians… in Washington, trying to use this as a political pawn.” Buttigieg added that, in his view, “chess is different from weightlifting, and weightlifting is different from volleyball, and middle school is different from the Olympics.” “So that’s exactly why I think that we shouldn’t be grandstanding on this as politicians,” he said. “We should be empowering communities and organizations and schools to make the right decisions.”

That seems like a reasonable take to me. The leagues and organizations would probably know best how to handle these few outliers better than some old suits in a capital building somewhere far removed.

Now, I’ve read that horses were native to the Asian continent and migrated elsewhere, eventually to the Americas. However, I was at the San Diego Natural History museum last night and they had a display that claims the opposite, that horses are native to then migrated out of the Americas.

*37 seconds of Wikipedia browsing did teach me that native horses went extinct in North America about 8,000 years ago, then were later reintroduced.

I bet if you read the article you’ll find it mentioned.

Appreciate the correction. All the conjugations are hardest thing for my brain to remember.

Those conjugations are the hardest thing for my brain to wrap around.

As I’m someone slowly and difficultly learning Spanish, for the soul purpose of visiting because, yo quiero comé muchos tacos de cabeza y bebe unas micheladas, I appreciate you. I’ll bet I missed a dozen accents.

Hopefully they all remember their oaths of enlistment are to the Constitution first, THEN the president.

There grey areas in parallel chains but all chains end in Washington at the capital.

No, second in command is the Secretary of Defense. But if the Vice President is acting on behalf or under direction of the president it could be seen as a billet. Walking around bases every unit has pictures of their chains of command, all of them include the VP and have for a long time.

That’s not what chain of command means. It simply establishes the hierarchy. Commands can be given by anyone who outranks you, or holds a billet that comes with higher authority. Trump and Vance at the top of that chain and can issue legal orders to literally anyone in the US military.

Maybe when the MAGA dorks try to convince us this is short term for long term gain; what they don’t realize is ousting the republican stranglehold on the country is the long term gain.

Heal. Learn. Dust off and get back out there.

Yeah, this was before the industry decided on their panic price increaes. It’s weird how post panic prices never corrected. Going shooting is almost painful now on the wallet.

When I moved out of Texas in 2016, some friends told me there was a $5 bounty for hog tails from the state. So, you could do it for more than fun; less than a dollar a round for .308, then 5 dollars per tail… that’s a decent profit.

I’ve been called an “elder millennial” before and I thought that was funny. But just “elder”… bitch, fuck you!

You’re telling me the purpose built air superiority fighter can out fight the multi-role strike-fighter? That’s wild and who’d of thunk!

Not all personalities are likeable.
