  1.  John Grit  so, you disparage all who serve to protect this nation, both CONUS and OCONUS, you're better because you flip real estate. If everyone flipped real estate, nobody would fill all of the other necessary occupations and our society would collapse. Yeah, I'm insane, I served in the US Army for 27 years 8 months, defending ungrateful assholes like you.

  2.  John Grit  so, I should have quit being a soldier and went into real estate. Gotya! All soldiers, sailors, Marines and Airmen are criminals on drugs, gotya! Those laborers that build those McMansions are all criminals on drugs, gotya! Those EMT's that are coming to your car wreck or heart attack are criminals on drugs, gotya! Those cops coming to your rescue, don't forget to tell them that they're criminals on drugs. And those who collect the Social Security that they paid their entire working lives are "leaches" (sic) (for the record, it's spelled leeches, after the parasite and as such, you are saying those who collect on any insurance that they pay for are parasites). Indeed, you are part and parcel, indeed exemplar as to the problem that exists in this nation.

  3.  John Grit  one thing I learned over again, all wars are political, it's a design, not a defect. I volunteered, as I joined in early 1982, retired in 2010 (some complexities over end term of service and retirement nonsense). Warfare is decided by the leadership, which is guided harshly by the populace. Dad joined the USMC under forged documents, my grandmother managed to get the paperwork to stop him on the embarkation dock and get him discharged. He attempted to, after reaching agreement, to join the US Army, get selected to join the 82nd Airborne, train and VE and VJ arrived and he was assigned to fight the battle of Fort Dix. Trust me, returned home and simply said, "You didn't miss anything wonderful". That all said, I have zero interest in real estate, I do have interest in having a home that we can retire and eventually die in. It isn't a damned McMansion estate, it's a chunk of land for a large garden, what we don't reap, whoever needs it is welcome to, just leave us alone. Due to joint issues, we prefer single story, so if a split is offered, we want an escalator. Our property is also sanctuary, I am an ordained minister and I'm extremely old fashioned that way. We've always been, protect those without defense, the widow, the orphan, the indigent, who cannot arise out of their situation, due to malfeasance. Side against that, meet wrath that one will swear is the wrath of the almighty. You seem to abandon them, an incorrect path for the survival, long term, of the society.

  4. I might consider retiring when I'm 450. Better more income than simply retiring and making only what the military pension and Social Security brings in and it would keep me active. Since I'm unlikely to live to actually see 450, I'll probably work until I permanently clock out. As for the ill educated teacher, I'd happily take him from one end of our base to the other, to find these allegedly stupid service members and I'd explain the ASVAB testing process and which points are testing which critical skill areas.

  5. @St Hurley what is worse is, at one point, making the 35 - 38k was good money, but it hasn't changed much in, quite literally, 40 years in the US and benefits have eroded as well.

  6.  John Grit  why? Do you mean that million dollar plus homes are being built in preference over housing for the poverty stricken, who couldn't get a home loan to cover the cost of a cheap modern home?! See my face? This is me being utterly unsurprised. The average home being built does not reflect the average Flordian income level. It means, business as usual in the US, the wealthy get what they want, the poor eventually get gentrified into the swamp and trespassed from there. Then, the wealthy gripe about a lack of cheap labor, undocumented workers accumulate and when ICE tries to move in, ICE gets met by a militia. Or would you prefer it written up as an intelligence analysis instead? The synopsis being, SSDD, the rich get catered to, the poor get kicked underfoot and that is now destabilizing vast swaths of the nation.

  7. Can't take legal action against someone who did nothing unlawful.

  8. J Edgar Hoover is long gone, his foul blackmailing influence purged from the FBI.

  9. The CIA is forbidden by its charter from operating within the US. The NSA is military and prohibited from operating in a law enforcement capacity. That leaves the FBI, who investigated Ruskies getting involved with some of Trump's idiot campaign staffers, who ended up in prison for violating the law repeatedly.

  10.  Baxter Powel  KGB is extinct, it'd be FSB or GRU, with GRU caught in the act by the Dutch intelligence agency while breaking into the DNC mail server. Interestingly, the dump the GRU made at Wikileaks hash values on signed messages don't match the message, showing some were doctored.

  11.  @deloresbusher-miller5384  well, that's what the Ruskies say, anyway.

  12.  @deloresbusher-miller5384  uh, huh. A tape that none seem to be able to find and play. And a virtual server is actually hardware that mysteriously was moved to another country, the FBI doesn't have the virtual server that they report to have, down is up, white is black and Big Brother Knows All. Can't wait until we get a real President in the White House and Russia gets nuked.

  13.  @stephj9378  I don't watch Russian funded propaganda sites.

  14.  @vendetta1922  you mean the utter absence of evidence? Indeed, inspector general reports that clear the FBI of wrongdoing, other than typos on a form?
    1
  15.  @micheypatsa  and you obviously don't believe the inspector general, instead you'll believe partisan hacks who claim things in a publicly available report are present, but actually are not present in that report.

  16.  @jumperstartful  because witnesses would result in conviction for extortion, which is a felony.

  17. How... Orwellian.

  18. Ruskies hate having to put on a show trial, just lock them up in the gulag.

  19.  @trishgreen3582  yeah, because Graham talks about the Mueller report, when the impeachment is about the Ukraine call and Trump's own corruption of everything straightforward, honest or honorable.

  20.  James B  yeah, no need for charges, just lock away anyone that you don't approve of.

  21.  Thoreau  no lies were found, per the inspector general report. Errors were found on some forms and the last time I checked, typos aren't considered felonies.
    1
  22.  @jumperstartful  because we only arrest people who commit crimes.

  23. The problem is, one doesn't drain a swamp by pumping in sewage.

  24.  Why Me  the military swore an oath to uphold the laws and Constitution, not enforce one political party's will. We were all oath takers, not oath breakers.

  25.  @357mag5  the Uniform Code of Military Justice applies to who, military politicians?
