Agree, the libertarian trump tea bagger. He is for the right what AOC is for the left except AOC is consistent in her views and frames her ideas logically. Paul sounds like he is on crack. Ideas from every corner of the spectrum. He is trumpish in that regard, no reliable center of ideological thinking.

I agree. But when the screening ship has 100 tubes,25 for land attack missiles and 75 air defense. But when the attacking missiles are supersonic ballistic, surface skimming, jamming, maneuvering, etc. But when there are three incoming for one outgoing. I know what you're saying, I know about sea sparrow, phalanx CIWS, etc. But the cost of cheap missiles, like the Houthis attack on a Saudi frigate, INS Hanit the Israeli corvette struck by a Hezbollah C-802 anti-ship missile,the HMS Coventry and five other British ships sunk by the inferior Argentine AF. Are all testament to the out-sized capabilities of attack V defense. Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics all like to suggest that their systems are the best. That the latest upgrade will defeat the known-unknown. At the arms bazaars featuring the latest greatest with the best retired colonels, admirals, etc. as chief salesmen. All the scenarios are discussed. Including the war games designed around what is known.You know?

Your associations put the primer on and your refusals to either separate yourself or condemn the actions are the paint.

Wuhan to Test All 11 Million Residents After Handful of New Infections Imagine, China treats entire provinces as if they were the White House.

Bias also steers your actions, expectations and behaviors in directions than can be counterproductive or even destructive.

IMO the article as you quoted is likely true. But it failed to address the US response and capabilities. US carriers are not designed for a war with China by themselves. Or a war with Iran in the Gulf itself. They have substantial standoff capabilities but swarming anti ship missile attacks will overwhelm carrier battle groups. There are two programs now underway that can begin to address standoff lack of range capabilities of US carriers and conventional air forces. The Loyal Wingman aircraft and the MQ-25A both of these A/C have been studied as attack aircraft. Both would expand the range and strike capabilities of US carrier groups. In a conventional war with China its navy, air force, satellite and communications capabilities would not survive for long. US carriers are substantially designed to attack targets where anti-ship missile attacks can be defeated by its surface ship screen. Once a enemy force can no longer field ships or A/C the electronic warfare capabilities of the USN are substantial. In addition the USN has a substantial number of Aegis equipped ships. Many of which have upgraded Aegis BMD or ABMD as well as very capable anti-ship systems. US nuclear submarines are unmatched. IMO the defense industry in the US constantly lobbies for unlimited capabilities against every perceived and imagined enemy. Its too bad that alliances get the back burner.

You mean Turtle-attacks? Like "This is a violation of the judicial oath and applicable ethical rules. We will be filing a complaint against Sullivan. ... [He] is acting as a politician, not a judge." For certain trump will now be able to focus on the pandemic.

IMO the judge will impose a sentence and trump will include Flynn among the over 50 pardons he issues in January, 2021.

As well as the whole Elvis lives, flat earth and no global warming lines of thought. This study is counter to other scientific studies of trump, his gang of “falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it”. By study I mean anti vaccine supporters, anti-science bonds trump and his supporters together. New study finds Trump’s tweets intensify anti-vaccine attitudes among his supporters In addition surveys and studies have shown that the more trump tweets anti-vaccine B.S. the more democrats are driven to accept them.

trump, Turtle and Barr soon to learn that the republic has progressed beyond bananas.

He's given up nothing in return, trump has allowed C-19 to kill over 82,000 Americans and Kim has kept C-19 completely out of N. Korea.

"when asked about the likelihood of agreeing to get a safe and effective vaccine, the new survey shows some skepticism about being inoculated. One-quarter of Americans said they were not likely to get vaccinated, even if a safe and effective vaccine was developed." It sounds as if Darwin will get a good crack at America. Surprisingly equally distributed across both tribes!

So the dog whistles of bigotry, racism, of crotch grabbing, sexual assaults, thefts, frauds, lying, cheating all claimed by trump were for personal gain, true and for political advantage. Got it.

On that note Happy Ramadan.

Must be FOX and trumpspeak.

That was my first thought so I went to FOX but came up with nothing. I was going to ask about accompanying explanations about what that was supposed to suggest. But in the end lost interest due to source.

For Ron and the right wing. Deep State bad, fifth column and Q good.

You're focusing on the core rationale of populist supporters. A penny in taxes goes directly to Black, Brown, immigrants who all freeload on the state. Helping corporations with bailouts, nuclear carrier battle groups on the other had are conditioned into thinking as necessary. The concept of a common good of all citizens that exists in the Nordic countries is just communism.

Who is this Normiss of which you speak. Is he the one they call the clairvoyant one?

800 million Chinese were under travel restrictions. In the US entire states have still not restricted travel. trump himself said Xi was doing a great job but for his supporters haircuts, open bars and the freedom to go maskless are important.

In the global jostling amid the coronavirus crisis, Beijing is extending its influence while U.S. President Donald Trump continues to squander America's leadership role. The pandemic could mark the beginning of a new Chinese era. "For a while, it looked as though the coronavirus outbreak would set China back years. But now, it's U.S. President Donald Trump who is reeling as his country fails to get the disease under control. As of Tuesday, almost 1.2 million people in the U.S. had been infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the respiratory disease COVID-19. In China, the country in which the pandemic originated, there were only 83,966 infected people as of last Thursday, according to statistics from Johns Hopkins University."

His conduct and betrayal of Judaism is not unprecedented. So are trump's anti-semitic dog whistling to his base. "The Donald decided to carry forth into this debate? Dog whistling to his anti-Semitic fan base. He repeatedly and often completely tangentially mentioned noticeably Jewish-sounding names (Sidney Blumenthal, George Soros, Jonathan Gruber, and Debbie Wasserman-Shultz), all of whom he conjured up as corrupt holders of cabal-esque power who Clinton has in her pocket."

Keep in mind that nothing Mr. Miller thinks or does would have meaning or effect without his one enabler employing him.

Well at least I know now what Q is all about. But was never curious enough to google. It does make sense though make the Dept. of Justice a personal fiefdom and seize control via military coup. Then you have a US version of Putin's Russia.
