He gets more ridiculous by the day. I know this is small potatoes in the big picture, but my goodness.
Barf. And here I thought with the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog)'s retirement and the F-35 being named the Lightning (evoking the P-38), that maybe the F-47 was a nod to the P-47 Thunderbolt... Maybe once DJT is gone the USAF can retcon the F-47 naming if we reach a point where the world can scrub the walls of ketchup and orange stink.

I dunno, it's Boeing, it's a 6th gen fighter, and it's named after Trump. It's bound to be a disastrous boondoggle, so the association fits.
Officials in Leaked Chat Had Criticized Clinton’s Use of Private Email Server
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who disclosed war plans in a Signal group with a journalist, condemned Mrs. Clinton’s actions in November 2016.
“Any security professional — military, government or otherwise — would be fired on the spot for this type of conduct and criminally prosecuted for being so reckless with this kind of information,” he said.
I like this quote from the People article about the new jet:
Quote:
Hegseth, who faced many obstacles to his confirmation as defense secretary, said the new jet will reassure allies and "to our enemies, that we will be able to project power around the globe."
Name the allies bud. All your ex allies are buying Euro fighters and bombers.
He gets more ridiculous by the day. I know this is small potatoes in the big picture, but my goodness.
Quote:
The jet's design is being kept under wraps for security reasons, though Trump alluded to its stealth, power and agility. He added that an experimental design has "secretly been flying for almost five years."
ha... so no group chats about the jet?

Florida wants to loosen child-labor laws to make up for loss of migrant workers
Quote:
Both Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Republican-led legislature are now looking at children as a possible solution to the issue, according to CNN.
If the bill passes, children as young as 14 would be allowed to work overnight shifts, even on school days. State law currently prohibits them from working earlier than 6.30 a.m. or after 11 p.m.
LOL. American national security at it's best. They may as well just have these discussions broadcast publicly. Using a commercial communications platform to discuss confidential war plans while...in Russia with the phone connected to Russian telecom networks. OK, that last bit is unverified, but I can't imagine they'd be smart enough to know to do anything different.

Crazy stuff. But, as expected. Trump's Cabinet is made up of amateurs (sort of like Alberta - sorry wrong thread) and clowns. The top people in the chain of command don't want to take responsibility and the person at the top of the chain knows nothing, see's nothing and hears nothing. Deny, deny deny. Right on script for the Fascists.

Can you do a group chat on Grindr?

It will never be built, it's just a way to prop Boeing up a bit, they are dipping down into collapse territory
The F35 only got built on the back of foreign orders, the UK, EU countries and Canada kicked in a chunk of the development costs in truth, without offshore sales it would never have been built, also the Ukraine war has shown everyone no one needs 6th gen or even 5th in truth, twice as many simple to operate 4th gen now look like the way to go
